* ComicSutra: Sam offers Niles some bedroom tips that will really help him impress Maris. He whispers it so we don't get to hear the full explanation, just Niles' response:
-->'''Niles:''' Exactly where am I supposed to find [[NoodleImplements whipped cream and a car battery]] at this time of night?\\
'''Sam:''' You got neighbors, don't ya?

** Sam joked that when he met Frasier he looked exactly like Niles. David Hyde Pierce was hired explicitly because he looked like a slightly younger Kelsey Grammer.

* LastSecondWordSwap: Sam show's up while Frasier is in the middle of doing a promo, catching him completely off-guard:
-->'''Frasier:''' Well, that's our show for today. Don't forget, ''(Roz starts signaling to him)'' Bob "Bulldog" Briscoe is up next, oh yes, this is K-ACL Cash Call Week, $5,000 if you answer your phone with the phrase that pays, so when your phone rings, don't say hello, say ''(Sam walks up to the window)'' ''well blow me down!''



* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: subverted by Martin, when Daphne says she doesn't understand why sports figures are so revered in America, when they seem so superficial to her.

Added DiffLines:

* BaitAndSwitchComment: When Roz meets Sam, she makes it clear she's heard a lot of stories about him from Frasier, mostly about his womanizing ways... and then makes it clear this is, unsurprisingly, ''not'' a turn off for her.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Sam Malone and Roz Doyle meet. Frasier comments on how animals can probably sense this in fear. However, nothing comes of it.


Added DiffLines:

* EveryoneHasStandards: As shown over in ''Cheers'', Sam has very few rules about who he'll sleep with, and when he learns Sheila has slept around even when they're both sex addicts, he's not ''too'' bothered, even when she mentions having slept with Paul (short, chubby, balding Paul). But when she mentions she also slept with ''Cliff''... well...
* HappyEndingOverride: Sam's reunion with Frasier has him fill him in on the goings-on at Cheers. Apparently Rebecca's marriage went belly up when Don got rich and dumped her, which Rebecca predicted would happen. Now she's back at Cheers. Just not ''working'' there.


Added DiffLines:

* HeroWorshipper: Martin is overjoyed at the thought of Sam being in Frasier's apartment. He even lets him sit in the ''chair''.
* LampshadeHanging: Nile's status as a [[RememberTheNewGuy New Guy]] gets brought up when he's miffed Frasier apparently never mention him to the Cheers gang. (Sam says he probably did, but they just tuned him out. Nope. Niles was never once even hinted at during the show.)
* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: When last seen in ''Cheers'', Woody and Kelly were expecting a child. Sam tells Frasier that said kid has, against all the odds, turned out to be intelligent.
* ProperlyParanoid: Niles is always hostile to anyone else showing an interest in Daphne to begin with, but is pretty justifiably concerned when Sam, a recovering sex addict with an abundance of charm, starts flirting with her, and she reciprocates.
