Fans love Guy

0In Season 5's "Ski Lodge" — which is often considered the all-time best episode (https://www.looper.com/807512/best-frasier-episodes-ranked/) of "Frasier" — Frasier, Niles, Martin, Daphne, and Daphne's friend Annie (Cynthia LaMontagne) head to a ski lodge for the weekend. There, they meet Guy (James Patrick Stuart), the French ski instructor who has a crush on Niles (who, in the episode, is determined to make a move on Daphne). In the hilarious fan-favorite episode, Niles pursues Daphne, while Daphne pursues Guy, while Guy pursues Niles. Further, Frasier pursues Annie, while Annie pursues Niles.

In a post to the r/Frasier subreddit, u/geddup_noise (https://www.reddit.com/r/Frasier/comments/ug9g3r/appreciation_post_for_guy_and_jp_stuarts_acting/) wrote an appreciation post for Stuart's performance of Guy. In the post, this "Frasier" fan called Guy their "favorite one-time character on the series." Responses to the post are complete with some of Guy's most notable lines, such as when he slyly says to Niles, "Really?"

Immediately, fans took to discussing how much they love the delivery of the "Really?" line. For example, u/dirt-flirt (https://www.reddit.com/r/Frasier/comments/ug9g3r/comment/i6zkn20/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) wrote, "This video doesn't even need sound. I can hear it." From there, most of the comments consist of fans quoting their favorite lines from the episode, many of them Guy's. For instance, one user (https://www.reddit.com/r/Frasier/comments/ug9g3r/comment/i6yl87u/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) quoted, "Please, acknowledge your true nature! Stop chasing these lesbians!" while u/Time-to-Dine (https://www.reddit.com/r/Frasier/comments/ug9g3r/comment/i6ymf4f/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) quoted, "Can Niles and I PLEASE have some privacy?!" Further, u/bumpy4skin (https://www.reddit.com/r/Frasier/comments/ug9g3r/comment/i72pbhd/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) claimed that one of Guy's lines — "There are few things" — is quoted on a daily basis in their household.

Meanwhile, u/Fizzy__1 (https://www.reddit.com/r/Frasier/comments/ug9g3r/comment/i6y9e7e/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) complimented the creative team on the episode, writing, "It really says a lot about both the acting and writing when a character appearing in a single episode can be so iconic and memorable. He's a good dude, he openly communicates (well, he did his best. . .), and wants people to be true to themselves."
