I watched these as a kid too, only slightly depressing memory of it was once the credit music started playing it was time for bed and dreaded school again in the morning.
Fun fact: there was no Cliff in the original casting, but when Ratzenburger was auditioning he asked if there was a “bar know-it-all”. There wasn’t, but It got written in and Cliff was born.
@@thejman8734 Actually it’s fact. Ratzenburger has said as much in many interviews (I originally heard him recall it on the “Ace on the House” podcast a few years back).
@@thejman8734 it’s actually confirmed by the Burroughs(the producers/creators) and the cast, he was there to audition for Norm but wasn’t right so pitched the character idea to the know-it-all and got him written into the show at the expense of some of the others but worked well for all of them as he gave Carla a new life
no Cliff, Carla gets stale fast…he likely saved Carla from being dropped over time as she had more depth in her insults to Cliff than just to Norm and Diane
Ha, Cliff says that Santa Fe was founded in 1609 so I looked it up to see if the writers actually made him correct and Google says it was founded in 1610. Close enough, Cliffy! I'm impressed.
I wonder how Cliff would react to the existence of Google and smartphones in general. I can ONLY imagine if he freaked out over the napkins, he'd probably go into cardiac arrest! 😒
I purchased the entire DVD set yrs. ago and have enjoy since then. I've done this w/many old TV shows from 60's 70's 80's and 90's and canceled my cable. No regrets at all about not having cable at all.
You know I watched this show religiously every week and I have been watching these clips a lot lately and I must say I scantily remember any of these. Either my memory is fading or maybe I just missed several episodes. Can’t seem to put my finger on it but either way these are still hilarious 🤣🤣
I don't think making the character Cliff a mailman was ever by accident and was very intentional, I know a few of these too and yes they also deliver mail.
Technically, it was the ancient Sumerians and not the ancient Egyptians who were among the first to brew beer. The process was even sanctified by the presence of Ninkasi, the mother goddess of brewing

I know way too many people who love to lecture - in a one way conversation. Whether the victim wants to hear it or already knows the subject is irrelevant. One guy actually had the temerity to spout inaccuracies about European History to a renowned expert, as if she didn't know anything. To her credit, she corrected the facts only. Cliff isn't even in their league.
The water was too polluted to drink, by brewing a weak alcohol drink (where beer grew from) they were able to drink without the worry of catching some life ending food poisoning or suchlike. They think it was probably no more than 2% so about the same as American beers now LMAO
"Cheers" was/is a great comedy; but, in real life, if a guy like Cliff was a regular at my favorite bar, I'd be terrified that I'd wake up some morning and hear on the news that he'd shot up a shopping mall or a cineplex.
I don't know. He probably would have a very dull lifestyle and might be satisfied with the little things. It's the ones that don't want to be social to worry about.
@@timjohnson1199 That's often true, but not always. Sometimes you encounter what might be called the "Carrie Syndrome": the outcast who genuinely WANTS to be "part of the gang" (like Cliff), but simply doesn't have the social skills to make that possible. (It's worth noting that, like Carrie, Cliff had a monster-mother. I roared with laughter in one episode when Frasier commented: "You know, after meeting Cliff's mother, I suddenly think of him as remarkably well-adjusted.")
They used to make napkins with asbestos in Ancient Rome. They would "clean" them by simply tossing them into a kiln. They also served as a "leftover/doggy bag" that guests could take with them when they left.
I fucking love Bill Burr but absolutely not you do not remake a classic show like cheers also no one can play Cliff clave and other than John Ratzenberger because he created the fucking character if it wasn't for him showing up to the addition and asking if they have a part for the bar know it all there would have never been a Cliff Clavin character and we would have missed out on a lot of great moments
No, he's right. Sam should've said, "Thank you for patronizing my place" -- or what Frasier suggested. By saying, "Thank you for patronizing me" he inadvertently was thanking people for being condescending toward him.
A place can be patronized but not a person, unless they're being sponsored. "Thanks for patronizing me" makes no sense in this context, unless the person is thanking their benefactor. It does not mean "Thanks for giving me your regular patronage," which is what Sam meant.
This is not a napkin; this is a cry for help.
"This is not a napkin, it's a cry for help!" LOL
Probably truer words have never been spoken!
Cliff really was the underdog of the show!! We all loved him!
Yeah, whatever! LOL! 😆😂
He was my Favorite!
"Dance Mailman"
Speak for yourself, can't stand know it alls who know nothing
Yeah his voice is always a comfort too lol. I love hearing him in Disney cartoons.
I was just a kid when this show started, so it brings back memories, but it's now on again every morning. And I love it 😊

Are you doing a cliff Klavan impression?

It was founded in 1609, the paper work just didn't go through until 1610. Slow mail service back then. 😁

This was from the classic episode titled "Veggie Boyd."

What do you care? You’re not even American
@@MrBolas33 lol wtf
You guys and your precious trivia napkins!
Best exchange between Sam and Frazier. ha ha ha ha
Lol, the writers actually messed up. I can remember Sam using the word correctly in one of the earlier seasons.
Cheers
@@alexanderlouie4397 i actually thought sam was making a clever pun. like they are his patronage, but they also patronizing him at times.
Sam was always a lot more intelligent than he ever let on, which in turn makes him even more intelligent again.
I love how Cliff said "I told you that weeks ago" Like he trying to be helpful.
try again
Cliff was never helpful. He was annoying as hell.
just like the office tool, I sent you the email months ago, why are you asking me about this now !
You need the past tense of "to be" in all occurrences of the past progressive tense, so it's "he was trying to be helpful."
What is funny is there is a postal worker at one of my local watering holes and he is also a know it all and can annoy people at times.
He's my hero
I don't think making the character Cliff a mailman was ever by accident and was very intentional, I know a few of these too and yes they also deliver mail.
as long as he doesnt go postal ...
Did you tell him to get his head out of his Clavin?
"A round of drinks for my friends here. Like to see a napkin do that huh"
Show still kills me. 😂😂😂
Cliff is jealous of the trivia napkins... 😂
And John Ratzenberger went on to create one of the most memorable characters ever in Toy story.
And Monsters Inc, and Cars, and Finding Nemo, and the other Pixar movies. Takes a shot at himself at the end of Cars.
and he played Major Derlin in a movie some consider the greatest of all time
The best comedy yet!
Every Bar has a Cliff !
Very much so, every bar in fact has each of the main characters.
To those who have a Cliff or a Coach.....I'm so sorry...
Best show of all time
Technically, it was the ancient Sumerians and not the ancient Egyptians who were among the first to brew beer. The process was even sanctified by the presence of Ninkasi, the mother goddess of brewing
I see what you did here, Cliffy boy.
Thanks Cliff 🍺
Watch the first season and Sam used the word " patronizing" about the way Diane spoke to him.
Some people never learn.
“It’s different with the napkins.”
My idea for a Cheers reboot: It is the same bar,but everyone is below thirty of age,but
old moms comes to collect them after late hours 😁
Perhaps could there be old pas also who collect their daughters ?
Haha 😀
Q: Which civilization was the first to brew beer? 🍻🍺
A: Ancient Egypt 🇪🇬 #OldMilwaukee! LOL! 😆
I thought it was Saint Louis
The Sumerians
The trivia napkins were okay, but I'm more interested in the blonde behind Norm (@ 3:03) with those killer legs.
funnyfokker25 she was a hottie.
agreed
Go get her so we can get her out of the shot
This is the CHATGPT discussion of the 1980s
Remember the Mark and Brian radio show? They have a cameo in this episode. Sitting at the bar rocking some 90s mullets.
Check out the blonde behind Cliffy @ 3:18.
I was wondering had anyone else noticed her too, glad to see I'm not the only perv here lol
Oh Sam I know you wanted to try and use a great big word there! Ha

Cheers, Fraisier e yal- writers of " Mom" take note .
Coach ordered trivia napkins in Season 1.
Cliff never lied but he did embellished the truth.
You don't use the past tense with "did," so it's "he did embellish the truth."
You're welcome.
The difference between a great cast and a good cast!
And great casting.
Good cast-Cheers
Great cast- Frasier
This, Frazier and in the uk,father ted. Nobody can currently write like that
Veggie Boy... I LIKE IT!!
Cliffie being challenged by napkins. LOLOLOL!
Napkins schmapkins, I'll take the blonde behind Cliff.
Yes sir!!
Lol NAPKINS DONT SPIT WHEN THEY TALK..... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
3:00 Happy to see they are serving Veggie Boy, good stuff, you can really taste the Kale!
Says its episode 9 on Netflix. One of my favorite episodes.
First to brew beer was actually the Assyrian Empire. I know because the four Eastern Assyrians I work with remind me of it constantly.
I'm sure that's an assumption,...
@@williamallen319 ah, you know my 4 Assyrians too! :P Of course it is an assumption.
Except it really was the Assyrians
So what's the difference between Assyrian and a regular Syrian? Bigger Ass?
@@stevenhughes7880 Pretty sure it was the Sumerians.
Old school , I do have a bar name for sale!% napkins don't spit%.. classic.

Cliff was in Star Wars.

Nice catch!

just try to imagine being so petty & insecure that you actually find yourself jealous of a bunch of inanimate objects

Hello Mark and Brian...
Since I post a lot of trivia comments on RUclips videos, I guess I'm like Cliff in a way
Sumerian cuneiform tablets contain beer recipes.
I don't remember this episode at all. And I just watched the series again a few months ago.
"Cheers" was/is a great comedy; but, in real life, if a guy like Cliff was a regular at my favorite bar, I'd be terrified that I'd wake up some morning and hear on the news that he'd shot up a shopping mall or a cineplex.
DID YOU KNOW: the role of Cliff was not originately written in. John talked therm into him.
I don't know. He probably would have a very dull lifestyle and might be satisfied with the little things. It's the ones that don't want to be social to worry about.

Is that Siegfried & Roy next to Frasier at the end of the bar?!?
Mark and Brian...They used to have a morning show on FM radio
But what about the tallblonde in the leather skirt in the background?
Who is the blonde at 3:26?
Some extra in the show
Two damn Adds in row, not worth watching the video for
One question. Who was the blonde in the black skirt?
A nobody extra.
that was 30 years ago. she's long hit the wall

Lol sumeria was the first to brew beer.
It's not ancient Egypt any longer. It's 10 thousand bC Europe
Too bad there wasn't a episode where Cliff shoots up the bar lol
Too bad there wasn't an episode where Cliff the Mailman gets a gun and "Goes Postal"
Someone's gotta make an edit of this
Boy it's too bad that they didn't make an episode with the mailman shooting up the bar.
He did that and seasons 6-11 are his fantasy escape from the asylum.
loosing out to a napkin, that's bad.
Cheers; where more people walk aimlessly around than in GTA.
Funny stuff
They should remake this show and cast Bill Burr as Cliff.
No remakes please...classic is forever

Gonzague Gaillard too bad shes like 90 now!😂😂😂🤣😅
well spotted Gonzague Gaillard. hits rewind a few times
Cliff: "all right fellows, who is it gonna be, me or the napkins?" THE BLONDE.
Yes he's a hell of a good drag artist!
"Patronizing" -- someone needs to tell AOC.
careful, you’ll be called a sexist or racist…
Oh God ....
Wasn’t it Mesopotamia that brewed beer first?
Sumerians
Haah!
Frasier is wrong, Sam used the word perfectly.
No, he's right. Sam should've said, "Thank you for patronizing my place" -- or what Frasier suggested. By saying, "Thank you for patronizing me" he inadvertently was thanking people for being condescending toward him.

That's being very pernickety, and that isn't why Frasier said it was incorrect.
No, that's being very correct which, app, you can't stand.
This show was so lame. Frasier > Cheers.
The precise reverse is true!
Cripes, why does everything have to be so tribal? Can't you enjoy each for their own merits.
Absolutely agree. Frasier was way funnier.
