[Normal] [Comedy]

Sounds pretty good might give it a try ^^

Biglulu said...

Dat title reference.

Bronyhub said...

Seriously a Cheers cross-over? Can't wait
till the pony Frasier spinoff.

This I gotta read...

WizardShy said...

Meh, read half of it, not my kind of story. I find Trixie pretty uninteresting.

Mute Justice said...

Cu Chulainn? Brohoof. I'd have to read it based on your your name alone.

WizardWannabe said...

I loved it, 5 stars. Very well written, great OC's and interesting. Can't wait to read more.

PaperCamm said...

This a Cheers crossover then?

Aquarian Poet said...

Wonderfully written, and the OC's weren't intrusive in the slightest.

Definitely five-star material, thanks for the read!

DreadedCandiru2 said...

I noticed that you side-stepped the issue of what the grey delivery pony's name is.

Mute Justice said...

Wait, if the Watering Hole is on the outskirts of Ponyville, doesn't that mean she grew up in Ponyville? I'm confused, did I miss something?

Missinghomebrony said...

And they're always glad you came!

Flutterfan said...

If you told me a year ago I'd be one day reading a Cheers/My Little Pony crossover fanfiction...

I wouldn't have been surprised.

Smokey Treble said...

I'm going to read this just because of Barley Mops.

A long time ago, way back in history
when all we had to drink, was nothin' but cups o' tea!
Along came a colt by the name of Barley Mops
He invented a wonderful drink and he made it out of hops!

Char.fudge45 said...

Omg a cheers pony fic? Life has been made!

SgtGarand said...

The song...it's now stuck in my head

DevotedToPonies said...

I dont normally like reading, even in my english clases.... BUT THIS WAS AWESOME! DEFINIELY WORTH THE TIME

Luna Epona said...

I liked this one a lot. Nice slice of life feel. It worked well. I remember watching Cheers on TV. Was my second fav show right after M*A*S*H*.

DjMajaro said...

This was a fun read. I think I'd be funny to see Discord walk in, maybe Celestia binded his powers so he can live free, and go to bars...

Alondro said...

@Luna Epona

Wow, you too? There are lots of really old bronies on here like me! :D

And also, Pony takes one more hoof-step toward total world cultural dominance! >:D

I was waiting for Norm to show up, but sadly this was not the case. At least it had Ted Danson in it. Anyway great parody, it gets a solid 4 out of me. What I love about TV parodies as opposed to movie parodies is that they can go on forever and need not follow the plot, seeing as their written on an episode by episode basis especially sitcoms like Cheers.

Barkr said...

Ya! "Cheers" references!

AlanJCastonguay said...

Yay for gray delivery pony!

Cu Chulainn said...

Hi guys, author here. I'm glad to hear you all like it! This was my first attempt at a fan-fiction ever, so I was nervous the whole time this was on here, but I'm glad it got the response that it did.

To clear some things up, this is not really a Cheers/MLP crossover fic. I've always thought of doing a story with bartender in it, and I like Cheers, so that's why I chose the name for the story.

@Mute Justice: The Watering Hole is on the outskirts of Ponyville, but there's still a street leading to and from Ponyville.

The Jack said...

Not bad! Not bad at all :P
I'm going to enjoy reading the continuation of this :P

The Commander said...

@Cu Chulainn

Excellent story Bruv!

I imagined all of Barley's lines sounding like Brad Pitt in Snatch or Sean Patrick Flanery in Boondock Saints.

Good writing entertaining plot, and nice OCs, with a perfect amount of d'awww Trixie.

All in all, a perfect Pony Story. Tell me how to rate so I can make it a five star!

Delta Takahashi said...

THIS

deserves some stars.

Menelaus Redz said...

Well I finally got around to reading this and I was not disappointed whatsoever. While I was unsure as to what to expect when I first saw it here, I am glad that I took the time to read the story and to be honest, you got me hooked. I hope to see more down the road.

Daxter Galaxy said...

A poor sucker got jury duty. Sucks to be him.

DjMajaro said...

I hope the cliffhanger means there won't be a 2 month gap between chapters this time. Either way, I am really enjoying this fic.

Cu Chulainn said...

Hey guys, the Author here. Sorry this one took so long to release, I was kind of busy with Christmas and some writer's block, but the next chapter should definitely be up sooner. Who's ready for a back story chapter?

Armageddon said...

Love the Frazier Crane reference, but your second chapter didn't have much action or anything interesting aside from the letter thing and the vinyl scratch tapes joke/reference.

Melodia said...

LULz at the last line.

Cu Chulainn said...

@ Armageddon

That's one of the things I was worried about, but this next chapter should easily solve that problem. I'm really hoping to have it out before the end of January. And thanks for the input guys, it can only help.

Great story! Keep up the good work!
