The Best of Norm Peterson

As all fans of the show remember, Norm was always loudly greeted by the regulars when he entered Cheers. Immediately following was a witty exchange between Norm and one of the bartenders. These are the best of those exchanges.

How about a beer, Norm?Hey I'm high on life, Coach. Of course, beer is my life.

How's a beer sound, Norm? I dunno. I usually finish them before they get a word in.

What would you say to a nice beer, Normie?Going down?

What'll it be, Normie?Just the usual Coach. I'll have a froth of beer and a snorkel.

What would you say to a beer, Normie?Daddy wuvs you.

What'd you like, Normie?A reason to live. Gimme another beer.

What will you have, Norm?Well, I'm in a gambling mood, Sammy. I'll take a glass of whatever comes out of that tap.Oh, looks like beer, Norm.Call me Mister Lucky.

What do you say, Norm?Any cheap, tawdry thing that'll get me a beer.

What do you say to a beer, Normie?Hiya, sailor. New in town?

What's your pleasure, Mr. Peterson?Boxer shorts and loose shoes. But I'll settle for a beer.

Hey Norm, how's the world been treating you?Like a baby treats a diaper.

How's life treating you?It's not, Sammy, but you can!

Can I pour you a draft, Mr. Peterson? A little early, isn't it Woody? For a beer? No, for stupid questions.

What's the story, Mr. Peterson? The Bobbsey twins go to the brewery. Let's cut to the happy ending.
Hey, Mr. Peterson, there's a cold one waiting for you. I know, and if she calls, I'm not here.

What's going on, Mr. Peterson? A flashing sign in my gut that says, ``Insert beer here.''

Hey, Mr. Peterson, Jack Frost nipping at your nose? Yep, now let's get Joe Beer nipping at my liver, huh?

Whatcha up to Norm? My ideal weight if I were eleven feet tall.

How's it going, Mr. Peterson? Poor.I'm sorry to hear that.No, I mean pour.

How's life treating you, Norm? Like it caught me sleeping with its wife.

Women. Can't live with 'em... pass the beer nuts.

What's going down, Normie? My butt cheeks on that bar stool.

How's life in the fast lane? Dunno, can't get on the on-ramp.

Pour you a beer, Mr. Peterson? Alright, but stop me at one.... make that one-thirty.

How's it going Mr. Peterson? It's a dog eat dog world, Woody, and I'm wearing Milk-Bone underwear!

What's the story, Norm? Boy meets beer. Boy drinks beer. Boy meets another beer.

What's going on, Mr. Peterson? The question is what's going in Mr. Peterson. A beer please, Woody.

How's life, Mr. Peterson?Oh, I'm waiting for the movie.

What can I do for you, Mr. Peterson?Elope with my wife.

What's happening, Mr. Peterson?The question is, Woody, why is it happening to me?

Well, look at you. You look like the cat that swallowed the canary.Uh huh. And I need a beer to wash him down.

Hey, Mr. Peterson, you got room for a beer?Nope, but I am willing to add on.

How would a beer feel, Mr. Peterson?Pretty nervous if I was in the room.

What can I do for you, Norm?Open up those beer taps and, oh, take the day off, Sam.

Beer, Norm? Have I gotten that predictable? Good.
