** Also, the bit where George tosses the Tic-Tacs onto his mother's chest in the second hospital scene was an ad-lib on Jason Alexander's part, which apparently sent Estelle Harris into such debilitating hysterics that filming was halted for an entire half-hour until she stopped laughing.

CRF is disambiguation and CBAHC only applies to the work the error is made about not the work making it.


* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' never had an episode where the characters sang "Wheels on the Bus", nor was the series on Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} at the time this episode aired. It's likely that the writers knew Tiny Toons was a kid show and Nickelodeon was a kid network and [[CriticalResearchFailure didn't bother researching further]].

* ThrowItIn: Julia Louis-Dreyfus started {{Corpsing}} when Jason Alexander performed his monologue about his mother catching him masturbating and subsequently injuring her back. Rather than stop, Alexander remained in character and snapped "It's not funny, Elaine, she's in TRACTION!," which only made Louis-Dreyfus laugh harder. The entire scene remained unchanged in the final cut.
