History Series / Cheers

* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: In the second episode of the series Norm and Coach ogle the legs of a woman outside the bar window and nervously go back to their normal business when they realize she is about to enter. Diane begins to give a speech about how grown men should be above ogling women only to be interrupted when the woman enters the bar and is revealed to be a total bombshell. Diane's respone? "[[CurseCutShort Holy...]]"

* LesYay: In season 1 episode 2, "Sam's Women", Diane mocks the other characters for ogling Brandee. When she turns around and sees the beautiful woman she gawks and says "HOLY-"

* AbsenteeActor: John Ratzenberger as Cliff doesn't appear in "Sam at Eleven" and "50–50 Carla" (from Season 1 and 8, respectively). This leaves George Wendt as Norm as the only customer in the cast to appear in 275 episodes.

* AbsenteeActor: John Ratzenberger as Cliff doesn't appear in "Sam at Eleven" and "50–50 Carla" (from Season 1 and 8, respectively). This leaves George Wendt as Norm as the only customer to appear in 275 episodes.

The show produced two spin-offs: ''The Tortellis'', a mainly forgotten one-season show featuring Carla's ex-husband Nick and his family, and the very successful ''Series/{{Frasier}}'' which ran for 11 years.

* BadassBeard:
** The boys have a beard-growing contest in "Two Girls for Every Boyd."
** Frasier grows another beard late in Season Ten--and keeps it this time until he presumably shaves it off prior to the beginning of ''Series/{{Frasier}}''.

** A beautiful, {{Vamp}}ish psychologist named [[Literature/NightmareAlley Lilith]], you say?

* EveryoneHatesMimes: Season 4's "2 Good 2 Be 4 Real"--with the unsurprising exception of Diane, who even insists on pronouncing it "[[ItIsPronouncedTroPAY meem]]". And eventually, even she gets sick of him.

* {{Expy}}: Sam Malone is an Expy of Jim Lonborg. The photo of Sam pitching behind the bar is Lonborg, and Sam even wore Lonborg's number.

* TheDogBitesBack: Frasier in "The Heart Is a Lonely Snipe-Hunter." It is his EstablishingCharacterMoment, and he doesn't do it because he is mean or angry--he accepts being a victim of a snipe hunt because that's what guys ''do'', but screwing the others would also be what guys ''do''. At that moment, Frasier earns some HiddenDepths.

* EveryoneHatesMimes: Season 3's "2 Good 2 Be 4 Real"--with the unsurprising exception of Diane, who even insists on pronouncing it "[[ItIsPronouncedTroPAY meem]]". And eventually, even she gets sick of him.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: In "Sam Turns The Other Cheek", Diane can't resist dropping one {{Pun}} after another when Sam reveals to her that he accidentally shot himself in the behind. Even Sam soon finds himself struggling to keep it together at her quips.

* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: In "[[Recap/CheersS3E18 Bar Bet]]", Sam almost loses the bar when he falls off the wagon and makes a drunken bet to marry Jacqueline Bisset within one year. (The sleazy guy trying to take the bar from Sam is Michael Richards of ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}''.) Diane brings up the fact it's not enforceable, but Sam wants to keep it quiet because he's ashamed of getting drunk again.

[[folder: Q]]
* QuipToBlack: A few episodes ended with a final joke to a black screen. In episode "King of the Hill", after Diane cheats to beat Sam at ping pong, when the screen goes to black, a smacking sound is heard and Sam saying, "That's why they call it a ''paddle''."

* ''Series/TheGoodPlace'' episode "[[Recap/TheGoodPlaceS2E02DanceDanceResolution Dance Dance Resolution]]". Someone has to get in an obelisk sent by the Bad Place. Jason bemoans this. [[spoiler:Ironically, all the characters are dead at this point.]]
-->'''Jason:''' I can't go! I'm too young to die! And too old to eat off the kids' menu! ''What a stupid age I am!''

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: One episode involves a guy who wants to be a priest, who is having cold feet one day before being ordained, who manages to touch an old piano in the bar that has been out of order by years. The piano works! {{Cloudcuckoolander}} Coach even says: "I can’t believe it." All the cast convince the guy that it must be a signal that he is special and he must become a priest. He agrees and leaves the bar. When all comment on the miracle, Coach says he repaired the piano a week ago. When they ask him why he said “I can’t believe it” if he knew the piano was working, he answered that all those years he left the piano broke without any further thought, ''but just a week ago he felt the irrepressible urge to repair the piano, before it was too late''.

** Robert Urich appeared in Season 6's "Woody for Hire, Meets Norman of the Apes" in his capacity as the star of ''Series/SpenserForHire'', on which Woody claims to have been an extra.

** In the episode "Diane's Nightmare," Sam starts acting very sophisticated and debonair, which includes his lighting up a pipe. Then Diane wakes up to discover it was AllJustADream. When she looks through Sam's desk, she finds an actual pipe, causing her to wonder OrWasItADream... then she examines the pipe more carefully, blows into it and discovers it's a BubblePipe.
