Yes, stolen from an episode of Cheers. The one where Norm pretends he has a boss so he doesn't have to be the bad guy at his painting company.

Definitively! I imagine this isnt the first time that 'great' show has inspired another cinematic genius.

-->Its not the film from A to B, but everything in between.

And it's Cheers is hardly the first to ever use that idea, in any variation.

Ever hear of a little ditty called "The Prisoner of Zenda"?

Or perhaps a Japanese film called "Kagemusha"?

Or perhaps something called "The Man in the Iron Mask"?

I agree, your pants ARE too tight... And not just your pants!

His boyfriend likes his pants that tight. It puts everything in the shop window so to speak.
