Supercut of Every Time Norm Enters the Bar on Cheers

George Wendt, who played lovable barfly Norm Peterson on Cheers for 11 seasons, died yesterday at the age of 76. Here’s an 18-minute supercut of every time Norm entered the bar. I loved Cheers when I was a kid; I’ve seen every episode multiple times (though not for many years) and of course Norm was a favorite. πŸΊπŸ’ž

BTW, just sharing that I really love lightboxed videos. Can you consider supporting keyboard shortcuts, too? A few specific hopes/dreams:

  • Hitting ESC to close the window
  • Fwd/back arrows to scrub ahead/back
  • SHIFT+> to increase play speed (yes, I'm a 2x monster. Sometimes.)

I realize I'm asking for above/beyond an already awesome experience so ... just thanks for considering.

I can't stand the lightboxed videos. I read on my desktop. Maybe on mobile it's better. But when I click on the "Watch on Youtube" area of the video and it pops up instead of taking me to youtube, that's not what I want. I don't understand why desktop has to be so lame. Let me watch it on youtube.

Not to mention his absolute historic run as a bears superfan on SNL.

Amazing how they gradually stop cutting to the people saying "Norm!" over the course of the show
