* YankTheDogsChain: The cold open has a lawyer show up at the bar and tell Carla she's the heir to a long lost relative who made a fortune after walking out on his family. Unfortunately, he died ten earlier, and his son hid the will that explained this and wasted the entire fortune afterwards, meaning the only thing left of the estate was the relative's lucky quarter.

* EveryoneHasStandards: In her constant talk of bringing about new life, Lilith offers to let Sam feel her breasts, which she says are lactating. It's enough to make even a hound like Sam just back away in discomfort.



* LastSecondWordSwap: Rebecca recalls when she vacationed in Italy, describing increasingly raunchy antics. She's in the process of describing ripping off her clothes while plastered when she notices everyone staring, so she suddenly claims she simply changed into choir clothes. Sam remarks she must've been really fun once upon a time.
* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: Norm says he and Vera engage in this should they ever say anything to each other that's considered truly hurtful or insulting. Frasier says such a tactic would result in never spending any time together, which is why Norm thinks it's a great marriage technique.



* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After calming down, Frasier is rather apologetic over snapping at Lilith for her constant monologuing about being pregnant.



* ShoutOut: Frasier quotes "[[https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43281/the-lake-isle-of-innisfree The Lake Isle of Innisfree]]" by Creator/WilliamButlerYeats, which is about building a cabin in the woods.

to:

* ShoutOut: NoSympathy: Sam expresses irritation over no one caring about his boat story, which he insists is a major turning point in his life.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite his earlier grousing about Lilith's flowery wording, he is overcome by hearing their child's heartbeat and begins behaving the same way as she did.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Sam cautions Frasier and Lilith about their desire to go back to nature, as a prelude to his story of selling the bar for a boat that ultimately sank. Norm interrupts this, though, to demonstrate everyone is sick of hearing that story.
* RageBreakingPoint: After several minutes of Lilith going on and on in the bar about being pregnant, Frasier (mid-double facepalm) finally snaps at her when she talks about her plans for the placenta.

** Frasier describes mother and child as [[Franchise/WinnieThePooh Kanga and Roo]].
* StealthInsult: When complaining to Lilith, Frasier describes his friends as "People who would like to be my peers." A reaction shot suggests they are aware they've been insulted, if not sure how exactly.

"The Cranemakers" is the sixteenth episode of the seventh season of ''Series/{{Cheers}}''.

The now pregnant starts driving everyone insane with her glow, and her constant talk of being mother to new life, causing Frasier to snap at her. Wracked with guilt, Frasier soon turns around. Then he and Lilith decide to go back to nature.

Meanwhile, Rebecca insists Woody, who's never taken a day off in all the years he's worked at Cheers, go on vacation, but Woody proves extremely reluctant.

!!Tropes:
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Frasier cracks a smile at Carla's shot about him keeping Diane's body walled up in his crawlspace.
* TheBet: The barflies and Carla bet on whether Woody would actually make his flight. Carla wins when it turns out he slept in and missed it.
* DreadfulMusician: Another round of the RunningGag of Lilith being a poor singer. Here, she only knows how to sing "My Funny Valentine", and after what's implied to be several hours of that, Frasier snaps and yells at her.
* EpicFail: Frasier and Lilith decide to go back to nature. They last about a day, when Frasier can't even start a fire.
* {{Facepalm}}: Frasier's response to Lilith's endless monologuing about her man's seed. He soon graduates to a double facepalm.
* GranolaGirl: The end result of a yuppie like Lilith getting pregnant.
* HypocriticalHumor: Rebecca's reasoning for sending Woody on vacation is because he's under stress. It's pretty clear who's actually suffering more from stress.
-->'''Woody:''' Why would I want to go on vacaction? What's the point?\\
'''Rebecca:''' THE POINT IS A HAPPY WORKPLACE!
* IHaveThisFriend: Sam's friend who bought a truck to drive around the world. He also has an ''actual'' friend who has a cabin in Northern Maine, though it doesn't stop Norm asking if the friend bought the cabin to take it around the world.
* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: By now, Norm has gotten bored of Sam's story about buying a boat which sank, as has Carla.
* TemptingFate: The episode begins with Sam and Carla asking after Lilith, now she's become pregnant. Frasier says there's been some change in her behavior.
-->'''Frasier:''' But you know Lilith, she's so repressed emotionally, only her husband would notice.\\
''(Lilith enters)''\\
'''Lilith:''' Lay your hands upon me, everyone. I am life!\\
'''Frasier:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh, boy.]]
