A sombre Cliff enters Cheers one day to bid the gang a possible farewell. He's going to the hospital, and he's concerned he might not return from his life-changing... appendicitis operation. Needless to say, nobody's exactly concerned for ol' Cliff Clavin.

* IdiotBall: Having wrested the zapper from the doctor (who's [[NoNameGiven never named]], although the credits called him "Dave"), Cliff says "Let's see how you like it, pal!", presses the button, and, obviously, shocks himself again.
* IntimateTelecommunications: The cold open has Woody sweeping up the bar, listening to a commercial for what's plainly a phone sex line, although the lady with the sexy voice on the TV only calls it a "party line." Naive Woody dials the number--and gets Cliff.

"How to Win Friends and Electrocute People" is the seventh episode of the seventh season of ''Series/{{Cheers}}''.
A sombre Cliff enters Cheers one day to bid the gang a possible farewell. He's going to the hospital, and he's concerned he might not return from his life-changing... appendicitis operation. Needless to say, nobody's exactly concerned for ol' Cliff Clavin.
Some days pass while Cliff's in hospital, and nobody bothers going to visit him, until Frasier notices a shocking decline in the inane conversation at the bar, especially in the meaningless statistics department, and goes (''very'' reluctantly) to visit Cliff on his rounds.
Cliff's a little hurt by the fact that no-one came to see him, and wonders if maybe, ''maybe'' the possibility exists he could be unlikable in some way. Frasier tells him he doesn't need to resort to drastic measures to fix that, but Cliff decides he does. So he gets a doctor to sign him up for an experimental electroshock therapy.
Meanwhile, Lilith asks Sam to help her learn how to drive. Sam comes to regret this decision.
!!Tropes:
* BrutalHonesty: Lilith tells Sam the reason she's asking him to help her learn how to drive is because she has no emotional attachment to him whatsoever. Ouch.
* DramaQueen: Cliff's only going in for appendicitis, but since it's [[SmallNameBigEgo Cliff]], he acts like there's a very good possibility he won't be coming back at all.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Lilith. When Sam takes her out on a driving lesson, she rams another driver (an eight-wheeler with a bumper sticker saying "insured by Smith & Wesson") off the road, then insults him.
* DrJerk: The doctor Cliff gets to help cure his obnoxiousness is only meant to zap him whenever Cliff is obnoxious, but within a few minutes starts zapping him for the hell of it.
* FailedASpotCheck: The gang are so utterly uninterested in Cliff it actually takes Frasier several days to realize he's not there, and only after he notices the conversations are somehow ''less'' stupid than usual.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Cliff, ''quelle surprise''. No-one at the bar, not even Norm, the closest thing he has to a friend, bothers to go see him while he's recuperating.
* HypocriticalHumor: Frasier chides the others for not going to see Norm, but when asked why he didn't either, defensively responds "what, I don't have a life?"
* IResembleThatRemark: Wondering if he really is insensitive to everyone else's feelings, Cliff thoughtlessly sits on a fellow patient.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Al steals the electro-zapper while no-one's looking, and when Cliff returns to being his obnoxious self, starts using it on him.
-->''Dance, mailman!''
* NeverMyFault: At the end, Cliff sulks out of the bar, only to hang around by the door, waiting for everyone else to apologize to ''him''.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Everyone at the bar is alarmed when Cliff comes back from the hospital and does ''not'' regale them with some inane piece of bull.
* TheScrooge: Cliff orders champagne for everyone at the bar! ... then tells Sam to make it the cheap stuff.
* SeriousBusiness: An argument over whether ''Series/TheAddamsFamily'' or ''Series/TheMunsters'' is better nearly comes to blows.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: After having seen Sam angrily ranting at Lilith about how dangerous she is on the roads, this look is all over Frasier's face when she offers to take him out for a driver.
