Funniest Moment on The Nanny??

Just wondering what ppl think is the funniest moment on the show?

While there are ALOT of moments i thought were funny- I found one in particular I couldn't stop laughing at- I was watching season 4 & 5 and during the episode with Bette Midler during the auction, Fran is posing on stage and suddenly someone yells from the audience "TAKE IT OFF!!" and when everyone turns around it was Niles!! The look on his face was PRICELESS!

Do guys like "the thing"?
They like it better than no thing.

My favorite is from "Canasta Masta". Brighton has been hit by a baseball in the worst possible place for a guy, and Fran has taken him to her parents' house. She tells Sylvia about the accident and Yetta, sitting at the kitchen table but not looking at anyone, asks "Want Nana to kiss the boo boo and make it better?"

The horror on Brighton's face was an absolute scream.

Watching now and my favorite funny moment is on! When Fran fills in for Maggie as a candy striper and Mr. Sheffield comes in for surgeory. The doctor asks her to shave him. The whole sequence is hilarious! She starts shaving him, the doctor asks why she's shaving his face, and she asks where, then her face when she realizes where. Then she starts humming and spraying the cream up his hospital gown and as she's patting it down and Niles walks in. PRICELESS!

For me, it's any scene between Niles and CC. Those two made the show for me, as well as Yetta.

Everyone deserves a chance to fly...

for me it has to be when Fran becomes the fashion don't in the magazine. and the cry Max makes when he realizes he is the one who made her leave the house with the purse that makes her a fashion dont. The whole scene is funny.

There's one moment where I always let out a giggle. In the episode "Persinal Business" when Fran and C.C. were discussing their outfits.

"Well actually it's JC as in Penny. Your outfit is nice too." Fran

"Of course dear it's an Adolfo." C.C.

"As in Hitler?" Niles

I just love that part!

In "The Kibbutz", Fran is worried about Maggie having gotten permission to go to a kibbutz over winter break. Then Fran starts to feel better when she finds out Mr. Sheffield has taken Maggie shopping for clothes for the trip. Fran presumes guys will be leering at Maggie in her shorts and tops and Mr. Sheffield will be incensed.

Father and daughter return home from shopping and both are extremely happy. They open up their coats to show Fran and Niles their new T-shirts. Maggie's has "Daddy's Girl" printed on it and Mr. Sheffield's has "Daddy".

Fran turns around to face Niles and says "I'm DEAD!"

The way Fran Drescher says that line is totally hilarious.

Niles doing Tom Cruise's dance in his underwear and CC walks in
Niles: You do realize I'm going to have to kill you now.

That "Risky Business" moment is one of my favorite endings to any "Nanny" episode.

YES!! That's an amazing scene!

True, the way Fran delivered some lines are comic genius! A close second is the episode where Telma Hopkins may be her real mother. When she walks into Telma's mansion and says, "ooh I forgot something.... my luggage!".. gets me everytime!

My fave is from Kissing Cousins. The entire fantasy sequence where shes on Dynasty.. I have it on DVR and play the entire scene over and over

I love it when CC thinks Maxwell is coming to have an intimate dinner with her in his study, but Niles comes in and tells her not to turn around and dims the lights, and whispers in her ear to cluck like a chicken, because it turns him on. When she starts clucking then turns around to see it's Niles, is a scream.

For me, it's when Fran dresses up like an old lady to disguise herself from Elton John.

What about the priceless scene in the living room when Niles and C.C. kiss passionately for the first time and come within an ames ace of being caught out by an early returning Maxwell and Fran, leading to a totally disconcerted C.C. hastily departing the house with the flustered phrase"Good night, Fanny Nine".

For what it's worth, to those who don't know, in English slang 'fanny' is a damn sight ruder word than in the American equivalent!

I loved this show! But my favorite scenes included any one with Val. And the episode where Fran "kidnaps" the baby from the subway. The mother couldn't speak english but she and Fran bond over the Young and the Restless. Priceless!
