* StudioAudience: Lorre is one of the few remaining sitcom producers to still shoot his shows in front of a live audience. However, he makes it a point not to use a "sweetened" LaughTrack, insisting on always using the audience's honest reactions (although he does avoid using excessive cheering or hooting).

Lorre is also well-known for his [[VanityPlate production logo]], used near-continuously since ''Dharma and Greg'', which usually shows a lengthy essay written in a small font and is on screen for usually under two seconds, requiring the viewer to pause it[[note]]and, given it was used prior to the advent of [=DVRs=], tape it as well. The logo used to consist of white text on a black background, but this was eventually changed to black-on-white due to it being easier to read, especially on videotape[[/note]] in order to read it. In 2012, Lorre published the book ''What Doesn't Kill Us Makes Us Bitter'', which compiles several of his essays. All of his cards can be found at his [[http://chucklorre.com/ website]].

* TakeThat: One of Lorre's less savory traits is the fact that, if someone he worked with previously ended up having some form of disagreement with him, odds are he'll take a shot at him in one of his other works, and the man ''really'' won't let go of his grudges. Notably, after Charlie Sheen was fired from ''Two-and-a Half Men'', Lorre retroactively had Sheen's character turned from a JerkWithAHeartOfGold into a JerkWithAHeartOfJerk, while the jokes at Sheen's expense got progressively more mean-spirited. This kept up all the way until the series finale, which aired a full ''four'' years after Sheen's departure. To add insult to injury, he even mocked Sheen in the finale's post-episode vanity card.
