** "Fear of Flying": After being banned from Moe's, Homer goes looking for a new hangout, and Cheers is one of the places he tries out. Sam is up to his old womanizing ways, with Carla questioning if he can pull it off. Norm angrily tries to attack Woody for refusing to serve him another beer, with Cliff and Frasier barely able to restrain him. This craziness convinces Homer to flee. All of the cast members reprised their roles for these cameos, save (ironically enough) Kelsey Grammer. He was unavailable, due to a scheduling conflict.

* ''Literature/{{Siren}}'': In ''Dark Water'', Vanessa comments that the restaurant where Natalie used to work sounds like the Bull & Finch pub. Natalie's restaurant was famous for its nightly contests where ice fishers competed to see who had caught the biggest, strangest fish. It was so well-known that even during the summer people ate there to see where all the excitement happened, in the same way that people line up outside the Bull & Finch even though the actors from ''Cheers'' are never there.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' has a whole bunch of references, in part due to Creator/KelseyGrammer being a recurring guest star as Sideshow Bob.
** "Flaming Moe's": After Moe steals Homer's secret drink, his bar becomes a rousing success. An extended sequence parodies the ''Cheers'' intro, playing a riff on the theme song while showing assorted moments in old-fashioned engravings. Moe also hires a waitress based on Diana, who ultimately leaves to pursue a career in Hollywood (though Moe thought she was better off staying put). Barney becomes more like Norm and has some interplay with a Woody-esque bartender.
** "Marge on the Lam": With Marge having a girl's night out, Homer goes looking for some companionship. Arriving at Moe's, he says, "Sometimes, you gotta go where everyone knows your name." [[MoodWhiplash He then sees Moe threatening a customer.]]
** "Fear of Flying": After being banned from Moe's, Homer goes looking for a new hangout, and Cheers is one of the places he tries out. Sam is up to his old womanizing ways, with Carla questioning if he can pull it off. Norm angrily tries to attack Woody for refusing to serve him another beer, with Cliff and Frasier barely able to restrain him. This craziness convinces Homer to flee. All of the cast members reprised their roles for these cameos, save (ironically enough) Kelsey Grammer. He was unavailable, due to a scheduling conflict.
** "The Strong Arms of the Ma": Marge is traumatized by a mugging and refuses to leave the basement. While the family has dinner with her down there, Homer observes seeing all the people walking by on the sidewalk reminds him of ''Cheers''.
** "How the Test Was Won": An extended CouchGag had the family arriving in different locations from classic sitcoms and being dressed as the appropriate characters. One of them was ''Cheers'', with Homer as Norm, Marge as Diane, Bart as Woody, Lisa as Carla, and Maggie as Cliff. They get chased off by the sudden arrival of Sideshow Bob (standing in for Frasier). This CouchGag appeared in a few other episodes over the years.
** "The Bob Next Door": Bart says the new neighbor sounds suspiciously like Sideshow Bob, but Homer and Marge assure him that lots of people sound like him and point to "Frasier on ''Cheers''" as an example. (Incidentally, "Frasier on ''Frasier''" was another example.)
** "The Town": The family goes to Boston, so quite a few references abound as sight gags or musical cues. Norm, Carla, and Cliff are also briefly seen as background characters during a parade.
