* BrickJoke: Rebecca tells Lilith, with a straight face, that her ridiculous Afro looks nice. She is able to do this, and not laugh, because she has a rat trap clamped down on her fingers. At the end Frasier gives Lilith a heartfelt speech about how he's behaved terribly and he should not have laughed at her effort to try something different and change her appearance.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Carla mentions the idiotic conversations the gang has, and suggests that soon, they'll be on to topics like "if the ''Brady Bunch'' crashes in the Andes, who will they eat first?"

* MortonsFork: Frasier knows answering either way to Lilith's question about whether she should change her hair will get him into trouble. If he says "yes", she'll take it as criticism. If he says "no", she'll think he's lying. Frasier tries going with "just do what you think you should do", but Lilith sees through that too, and calls him chicken. Eventually, Frasier takes Option No. 4: [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere Run like hell]].

Episode: Season 10, Episode 8\\
Title: Where Have All the Floorboards Gone?\\
Directed by: James Burrows\\
Written by: Ken Levine and David Isaacs\\
Air Date: November 7, 1991\\
Previous: Bar Wars V: The Final Judgment\\
Next: Head Over Hill\\
Guest Starring: Kevin Mc Hale, Paul Willson]
"Where Have All the Floorboards Gone?" is the eighth episode of the tenth season of ''Series/{{Cheers}}''.
It's Norm's birthday! The gang gets him what he wanted most of all, a beer. But they also get him a Boston Celtics jacket, delivered by none other than Sam's buddy, Kevin [=McHale=], Boston Celtics all-star.
The gang falls into their usual inane chatter. They start wondering just how many bolts are required to hold down the wooden panels of the Boston Garden floor. When [=McHale=] starts wondering too, Carla yanks him out of the bar, terrified that he will get sucked in to their barfly life--but it's too late. Kevin plays horribly in his next game, because he's too busy counting bolts. The gang at Cheers realize that, to save Kevin [=McHale=]'s basketball career, they must break into the Boston Garden and count the bolts.
In the B-plot, Lilith changes her hairdo. It goes badly.

!!Tropes:
* AsHimself: Kevin [=McHale=], Boston Celtics all-star, makes his second appearance on ''Cheers'' as himself. This time, his wife Lynn also appears.
* BlindingCameraFlash: A random gag has Woody blind Sam with the flash from his camera, causing Sam to drop several beer mugs.
* CallBack: Rebecca tells Lilith, with a straight face, that her ridiculous Afro looks nice. She is able to do this, and not laugh, because she has a rat trap clamped down on her fingers.

* GagHaircut: Lilith decides to change her look, and get something different than her usual bun. It's a mistake, as she winds up getting an absurd poofed-out cloud of hair. Frasier can't stop laughing.
* IHaveThisFriend: Woody's extremely obvious way of confessing that he forgot to replace the bolts on the floorboard at the Garden, causing Kevin [=McHale=] to trip and fall during a game.
* LittleKnownFacts: Averted. Cliff says that, for Norm's birthday, he learned a bunch of little known facts about birthdays, and he will ''not'' share them with Norm.
* NewscasterCameo: Glenn Ordway, Boston Celtics broadcaster, makes an appearance on the Celtics broadcast. (Although in RealLife Ordway was a radio broadcaster.)
* PrimAndProperBun: Lilith decides she needs to change her bun. It doesn't work out.
* ShownTheirWork: Cliff identifies the blueprints that Kevin brings to the bar as actually being for the new Boston Garden. The new Garden (the "TD Garden" in the age of corporate naming) opened in 1995.
