Line 8:
* [[Freud Was Right]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAb1W6FJ2qo&feature=related Frasier and Lilith], naturally.
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: One episode saw Sam give a radio interview in which he makes disparaging comments of Diane. She gets mad. He gets apologetic. Years later, recurring cast member Jay Thomas gave a radio interview in which he made some disparaging comments about Rhea Perlman. She got mad. He got fired.
* [[Jerk Sue]]: Carla could theoretically qualify, in that her abusive, cruel, hateful behavior would have gotten her fired (and/or arrested) practically anywhere else, many times over. Somewhat justified in that she's effectively Sam's best friend, but it still makes no sense that Sam thinks ''Diane'' drives off customers but that Carla apparently doesn't, despite Carla apparently actively trying.
* [[Mary Sue]]: Sam's brother Derek, a successful (and supposedly handsome) lawyer, who stops by the bar at the end of the first season spends the entire episode offscreen in the backroom wowing the regulars with his singing, piano playing, tap dancing and pool tricks. Over the course of the night he gets the unemployed Norm a job at a high end accounting firm, teach Coach fluent Spanish, seduce Diane into going away with him on his private jet and have all the customers fight over who should get the pleasure of buying him a beer. All while Sam stands alone at the counter in the front room having to hear from anybody who steps in how terrific his brother is. Sheesh, no wonder he has an inferiority complex.
** On the other hand, no one benefited from Derek, like Norm, in the end. When Derek leaves, the bar expresses disappointment. Derek may have talents, but Sam has friends.
