Hilarious, Feb 23, 2013

Reviewer: TheCapt from East Meadow, NY


I recently saw this episode on a flight from Dulles to JFK and I literally was laughing out
loud.
Frazier is a great show, but this one went to new "heights."

Funny, yes, but..., Jul 25, 2011

Reviewer: Flor from Buenos Aires, Argentina


I can't say I disliked the episode. On the contrary, it had many
hilarious moments which I greatly enjoyed (the TV spot starrig Eddie
and Martin high being the best) However, I wouldn't say it's the best
episode in the series, as many people have stated. It's a good
episode, it's funny, but that's it. I wonder whether everyone's
fascination with it could be about the marijuana "taboo".

One of the best episodes ever!, Nov 02, 2010

Reviewer: KM from Seattle, WA


Definitely one of the best Frasier episodes ever. With this one, ALL the
subplots came together. It was so clever - I am truly impressed with
the writer. The only thing that would have made this better would have
been a scene at KACL.

David Hyde Pierce was especially hilarious - I love all of his "naughty"
expressions when he is being "bad" and he bares his teeth in a smiling
grimace. Also, all of his lines about being "crispy," using "mary-jane,"
etc.

I just discovered this episode!!, Mar 01, 2009

Reviewer: Eileen Grimes from Seattle, WA USA


I have all 11 seasons on DVD, and for some reason this episode was under my radar screen for all these years, until a few nights ago, when I decided to re-watch some episodes I hadn't seen that much. Much to my delight, High Holidays is now one of my favorite episodes. I don't think I've ever seen John Mahoney so funny (except maybe when he smelled Japan in "Roz and the Schnoz"), but him high on pot was priceless, and those lines!! What the heck IS a dog army? Sweet Mother is right! I am now hooked on this one, and will think about it at any point in my day, and lose it all over again. This one is a keeper!

Talking Eddie and Fridge Pants, Dec 31, 2008

Reviewer: The Melvin 1987 from Lancaster,England


This episode is brilliant and I enjoyed every minute.Niles thinking he's stoned is just completely hilarious.Frasier trying to flirt with the French tourism officer,Natalie and Martin's fridge pants are also highlights of this episode.Funniest part of this episode though is Eddie talking in Frasier's voice on the advert and Martin believing it's Eddie talking.

The inclusion of Freddie is not needed and distracts from the main plot.Aside from that I think this is a brilliant episode and my personal favourite Christmas episode despite it being the last.It's laugh a minute.

Brownie Addiction, Jun 19, 2008

Reviewer: LaughingIsLife from New York


This has to be my favorite Frasier episode....well, a tie between this and Travels with Martin.

I can't choose what's funnier.... Niles thinking he's stoned, or Martin ACTUALLY stoned!! The comedy was timeless, and I enjoyed every minute of it.

One of my favorite scenes was in the living room, when Frasier turned the TV on to see the commercial. Upon seeing Eddie, he goes, "Oh dear God!" Frederick replied, "That is so goth", to which Frasier quickly responded, "That is not goth!"

My other favorite scene is when Martin sees the commercial and sees Eddie. I laugh so hard at the way he goes, "Sweet mother!"

It is hard to explain in a funny way, so watch it and enjoy. I give this 100%. Great lines, great plot.

High as they get , Apr 03, 2008

Reviewer: FrasierTid from England


The other reviews are spot on! This is arguably my favourite Frasier episode ever. To see Niles
acting stoned when he didn't get the right brownie, while Martin IS stoned - hilariously ignorant
of the fact - is a gem and superb acting performances all round. And the hook for it - Niles'
belated quest for rebellion - is something that should have come a lot earlier in the series.
Kudos for finally cottoning on to this opportunity.

EXCELLENTE!!, Jan 05, 2008

Reviewer: Joshua Bramon from Newport Beach,CA


I love this episode. I love that very clever line by Martin "Better move up that visit to the garlic festival" A great episode altogether. A Must-See.

Up With The Greats., Jan 01, 2008

Reviewer: Dean Mather from UNITED KINGDOM


The best of the christmas episodes,even though Frasiers son Freddie appears(aargghh) but thankfully is underused and is decked out as a goth,adding some amusement to his annoying,horrible persona. Anyhow,I digress,Niles and Martin shine,Daphne is hardly seen(yippee) and Frasier gets stitched up by a beautiful TV exec.Martins performance at being stoned ranges from amusing(his laughing out loud at the door) to silly(dog army) and Niles gets chuckles aplenty from his drug research and use of street talk,excellent episode.
