Norm Petersons Funny Moments FIRST TIME WATCHING Cheers BRITS REACTION

[@ThunderPants13]

Sam: Norm, how's life treating you? Norm: Like a baby treats a diaper. Sam: Norm, what are you up to? Norm: My ideal weight, if I were 11 feet tall. Sam: What's shakin', Norm? Norm: Both chins and a couple of cheeks. Woody: Beer, Mr Peterson? Norm: It's a little early isn't it, Woody? Woody: For a beer? Norm: No, for stupid questions.

Such a great show, one of the biggest shows of the 1980s! Very well written, very clever. It spawned to legendary shows; Wings and Fraiser.

[@BritPopsReact]

Wings! Not heard of that one, watch quite a bit of frasier but didn’t know wings

I live in a small community in Canada! Fifteen years ago, my community hosted an Octoberfest! On the first night, the turnout was not the greatest! To my astonishment, Norm from Cheers was the grand marshal of the event! How did they get him to come? I stood right next to him and did not know what to say to him, other than the obvious-Norm! It was the most sereal moment of my life!

[@KevDaly]

Cheers ran from 1982 to 1993. A long time.

[@GeorgeMaster-xg7lg]

George Wendt was in a 1982 episode of MASH.

[@bookwoman53]

I want to watch Cheers. I was rather young when it was on tv. I liked the reruns of The Mary Tyler Moore Show and reruns of Taxi (with Danny DeVito and Christopher Lloyd)

[@passqualecaiazza7728]

This was funny, but seeing the series in full is funnier. Should mention I have the whole series on DVD. No cuts, just the full episodes. Watch every two years

[@tinagriggs1004]

I haven't seen an episode of that show in years! What a great show though. Watched every episode when it was on back in the day .

[@momD612]

Definitely!! 😅❤❤

[@starlite025]

Cheers has a super comforting vibe to it…reminds me of childhood. Every time the end theme came on I knew it was time to go to bed. It was on Thursdays if I remember correctly though, at least in the US

[@dblev2019]

Cheers did have one of the best theme songs!

[@Thunda1986]

You talk about the all time greatest American comedies this is easily top 5

[@jamesmyrick9083]

I've been binging Cheers for the last two weeks. It's a great 80's/90's American sitcom.

[@GenXTex]

The actor who Cliff the postal worker (John Ratzenberger) has been in every Pixar cartoon movie.

[@valerieburris607]

Cheers ,one of my favorite show!

[@blunt2416]

Fantastic show👍

[@hockemeyer1]

The actress who plays Carla is Rhea Perlman who in real life is the wife of actor/comedian Danny DeVito.

[@Islandboy2.0]

The show was on from '82-'93.

[@KrisThroughGlass]

Damn... I watched this often as a teenager and thought they were all really old. Haven't seen it like then and now they are looking kinda young to me 😅

[@stevenruvolo499]

he also played the dad in the michael jacksons video for black or white

[@bugvswindshield]

LOVE this show. I grew up watching it. 12 years!!!! Last year I re watched every episode and I loved them all again! took me 4 months to watch but I did it ! Have a great Fall !!!

[@heatherc3434]

They missed the best one.... Norm: It's a dog eat dog world, and I'm wearing Milkbone underwear.

[@Hardrock1a]

Norm (George Wendt) is Jason Sudeikis’s (Ted Lasso) uncle. His picture is up in the kabob shop in season 2.

[@ryanc9888]

Norm!

[@gmunden1]

Woody Harrelson's character does not appear on the show until after the third season in 1985 when actor Nicholas Colasanto (Ernie 'Coach' Pantusso) died suddenly. Woody Harrelson joined the cast in 1985 as a former baseball teammate of Sam Malone.

[@LancerX916]

My cousin is friends with Ted Danson and his wife. She and her husband normally watch their dogs when they have to go out of town for work.

[@screwyootube1]

Cheers ran for 11 seasons beginning in 1982. The scene you were showing at about 4:03 as they begin to sit down at a poker game is a GREAT scene, involving Harry Andersen (Night Court) as "Harry the Hat", a two-bit hustler that appeared occasionally throughout the series, and Ernie "Coach" Pantuso! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aamYnJ2EpJqdeaM

[@Jess-yb6uq]

I had a customer where I worked named Norm. Every time he walked in my co worker would yell "Norm!" Just like Cheers. Rest in peace Karen and Norm.

[@dblev2019]

I grew up watching Cheers, and to this day I can’t think of a sitcom I liked better. One of my favorite episodes was when Cliff went on Jeopardy. Another favorite episode was when the French guy kept trying to steal Woody’s girlfriend. Those episodes with Henri framed how pictured French people to be for many years! I know Brits have a bit more of a refined sense of humor, but it’s good to see Norm was able to give y’all a few good laughs.

[@givaFlyingFiggz]

A favorite bit of mine re: Norm... Woody and Norm have dinner at the "Hungry Heifer" (upstairs restaurant) Corinne" "What can I get you, Norm?" Norm: The Feeding Frenzy special for two." (The Feeding Frenzy is an all-you-can-eat special) Corinne: "How about you, honey?" Woody: "Well, I think he was ordering for both of us." Norm: "No"

[@chrischar9428]

Upstairs was Mehlvilles

[@KeatingChick]

Hands down one of the best US TV shows ever~ Also fond of Still Game from BBC

[@johnathanstruble1064]

He had a cameo, in Fletch.

[@hughjass9078]

These are older episodes, the guy who played Coach behind the bar died in real life in ‘85

[@stevedietrich8936]

Come for the Cheers highlights, stay for the puns.

[@christophermckinney3924]

So "Norm" is Jason Sudekis's uncle. If you look closely you can see the resemblance.

[@firefighterchick]

I never watched Cheers much but there are episodes I've watched in reruns that are very funny.😅 Thanks guys! I needed a good laugh. Left the airport in Florida at 85 F(29.4C) and sunny. Landed in Pennsylvania at 65 F(18.3C) and cloudy and misting rain. 😢😁

[@gbulmer]

It's lovely to get home to 'proper weather' without all that new fangled sunshine and cloudless skies 😀 Best Wishes. ☮

[@firefighterchick]

@@gbulmer 😁😄

[@this.is.a.username]

*phone rings, Coach answers* Coach: Cheers? Yeah Just a sec... Is there an Ernie Pantuso here? Sam: That's you coach! Coach: Speaking! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKmQequLZ7x-b9k to this day "speaking" is how I answer the phone when someone asks for me.

[@gbulmer]

Goodness, that makes me feel old. We'd gather with old housemates in one home to watch. A favourite episodes was when the extremely stern Lilith sang beautifully to their baby. Frasier asked why she never sang like that to him ... I won't spoil the moment. I had a business trip to the USA in 1990/1. My business host asked if I'd like to grab a beer at my hotel. The bar had TV's. "The Simpsons" was on. I'd never seen anything like it; a cartoon animation for adults! I saw the "let me help you dry those tears" hairdryer gag (Series 1). I was smitten. When he arrived, he told me it was "The Simpsons". When I returned, I told friends who had cable. Like "Cheers", we'd gather to watch "The Simpsons". It's the funniest American sitcom until "Family Guy". Before "The Simpsons", "Cheers" was my favourite US sitcom. Before that, "The Adams Family", "Get Smart", and, of course, "The Flintstones. I vaguely remember "Car 54, Where Are You?". Best Wishes, All. ☮

[@tinagriggs1004]

I've always wondered how many of our shows here in the U.S. was seen across the pond and liked. Glad you enjoyed your visit here. Cheers to ya from Kentucky!

[@gbulmer]

@@tinagriggs1004 Thank you for replying. We got a lot of US sitcoms on terrestrial TV. Another I remember from childhood was "The Munsters". I wasn't a fan. Others include "Roseanne", "Frasier", "South Park", "Friends", "The Big Bang Theory", "The Larry Sanders Show", "Police Squad", "Sledge Hammer", "Tool Time", "Cybil", "Dharma and Greg", "Spin City", "Suddenly Susan"... A bit more thinking and I remembered "Northern Exposure" and "Mad About You". There are probably more I've forgotten (oops yes "All in the Family" was on a few times). Plus many Hanna Barbera cartoon animation sitcoms like "The Flintstones", and more modern cartoon animations like "King of the Hill". I visited every year throughout the 90s. I liked the USA so much I lived and worked there during part of the 2000s. I've been to about 17 states (I mean slept at least one night in a hotel, motel or B&B, not just changed planes or drove through), I've been to your neighbouring Tennessee, Ohio and Illinois, but I apologise, I've never been to Kentucky. Best Wishes from the UK. ☮

[@JustMe-dc6ks]

If you haven’t yet, you need to watch MASH. Another long running classic American show from the seventies.

[@tinagriggs1004]

@gbulmer oh wow, you had the majority of our sitcoms over there. Love it! Glad you to hear that you like the U.S. Hope everyone was hospitable to you. 😀 I've never been to your area. Maybe some day. Cheers!

[@gbulmer]

​@@JustMe-dc6ks Thank you for replying, and for jogging my old memory. I did watch M*A*S*H, but didn't remember 😨 I was trying to figure out what I watched during the 70s, but failed and posted my reply. It was M*A*S*H. IIRC, it was on Sunday night, on BBC2. I had a struggle persuading my Mum to let me stay up late enough to watch it because I had to go to school next morning, My Mum didn't like it at first. She didn't like wars. However, eventually she'd remind me to get a bath before M*A*S*H, and she'd actively watch too. I loved M*A*S*H, so it's a bit miserable forgetting it 😞 I don't think it's in my mental "American sitcom" box. Maybe because it feels more significant? I liked it so much I bought the books ("M*A*S*H" and "M*A*S*H goes to Maine"). Those lead me to read "Catch 22". I became quite cynical while still a callow youth. I wonder why 🤔. I might remember some more after a nights sleep - my unconscious mind is smarter than the bit in charge of typing 😀. Thank you again for reminding me. Best Wishes, ☮

[@tinagriggs1004]

I loved this show. Watched it every week back in the day. I really think Frazier was one of the funniest lol..and Lilith..she couldnt have been more opposite of him...which made her funny too. 😂

[@momD612]

Right! I don't know how she kept such a straight face all the time! & the spin off "Frasier" was just as good! 😅😂❤

[@tinagriggs1004]

@momD612 yes I know! Haha. Yeah the spin-off was good!

[@Ajonr]

Do know that these were for the most part throw away jokes that were mere background to the main story line.

[@bethdealmeida6789]

Yeah...I remember Cheers but didn't care too much for it - now, "Frasier" which was a spinoff, that still is my favorite sitcom!

[@mikethompson5212]

On my end there is like a 5 second difference of latency/lag between your audio and video. Every othere channel seems to be fine.

[@asterix7842]

If you're interested, here's a video of all of Norm's entrances: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jImodWV3i9GViJI

[@tundiel]

I caught odd episodes in and out of Cheers, but it didn't really grab me enough to watch more of them. As a character driven long running sitcom, I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had watched it consistently. Frazier, on the other hand, I LOVED. Neurotic Niles cracked me up, as did Frazier's dad, closely followed by Daphne. Oddly enough, Frazier himself didn't make me laugh as much. Definitely a case of the supporting characters outshining the lead for me personally.

[@kdpflush]

This doesn't really do justice to the show. There was ALWAYS at least one laugh-out-loud moment in every episode.

[@greenbeech3055]

Cheers was a cool show, but it gave a totally unrealistic view of the bar life.

[@JudeAussie]

I didn’t mind this show but it wasn’t a favourite. 👍🇦🇺

[@angelagraves865]

I've never been able to understand the appeal of this show. When it came out my parents and grandparents went crazy for it. There are some funny moments but the whole Sam and Diane part of it was just so obnoxious. Even the jokes that were sort of funny back then are just meh now.

[@chrischar9428]

Not the best clips
