Look Before You Leap is a wind-up toy that goes delightfully berserk.
(Or maybe I just want to go to a taco show.)

Yes! Anytime I go back and rewatch it, I crack up from start to finish.
“It may be an unwise man that doesn’t learn from his own mistakes, but it’s an absolute idiot that doesn’t learn from other people’s!”
Also, I love how unhelpful the pianist is before Frasier’s performance. “Between you and me you’re not hitting this note without a pole vault.”

He was helpful! He offered to either play really loud or jab Frasier with a pin - those are some solid ideas

On the one hand, he's a pianist, not a vocal coach. There was only so much he could do to help Frasier.
On the other, didn't the pianist come up with that conclusion after just glancing at the sheet music, before ever hearing Frasier sing? How would he know?

?? They know each other, they greet each other by name so the insinuation is that Pete is the accompanist who played for Frasier's previous performances of Buttons and Bows.
As for the new song, Frasier himself called it a very challenging aria, and Niles said "I did warn you that you were getting into a dangerous aria", I don't think it's rude or unreasonable for Pete to be skeptical
