History Funny / ER

** Knowing that Romano was, among other things, homophobic, Kerry then takes his large bequest to the hospital and uses it to open an LGBTQ health center.

* In "Ambush," the live episode, Carey Weaver is explaining to the documentary crew filming the ER how they run the department and their general function. However, the cameraman becomes more enamored [[DistractedByTheSexy with an attractive young woman with a hand injury in the background who is wearing some sort of period costume, making her look like a fairy tale princess.]] Carey has to forcibly bring the attention of the cameraman back onto her. [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse The situation with the young woman is never followed up upon or referenced again.]]

* Creator/ScottGrimes delivering this line off-camera in the Season 13 outtakes: "This marriage is clearly a marriage truly made in the ER, because if it was [Northwestern or Rush originally] ''Series/{{House}}'' or ''Series/GreysAnatomy'', there'd be better food and booze!" Everyone loses it.

-->'''Romano''': I'm beginning to think ER stands for Everyone's Retarded.\\

* "Friendly Fire" features husband and wife arms dealers coming in straight from a gun show where he got shot in the leg. The wife shows off the merchandise and ''tries to sell guns'' in the reception area, letting people handle non-functional samples (legally they're not allowed to sell functional grenade launchers but they sell 'kits' that make them functional) . Jerry picks up a grenade launcher and speaks of [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill using it on the neighbor's dog who keeps doing his business in Jerry's yard]]. He puts the grenade launcher to his shoulder and mimes tracking the dog. "Woof...Woof..." [[https://youtu.be/wlJ6FyBdwvc Then he pulls the trigger on the third "Woof" and fires a grenade into the parking lot, where it blows up an ambulance]].

* For those who like BlackComedy, the {{Irony}} of Romano's death. He had to help send a patient up for a helicopter. But due to his fear associated with losing his arm to one, he got down to the ground as quick as possible. Cue the helicopter [[DroppedABridgeOnHim crashing down on top of him]].

-->'''Romano''': I'm beginning to think ER stands for Everyone's Retarded.
-->'''Romano''': They'll be looking for a sacrificial lamb and right now you're looking pretty wooly.
-->'''Romano''': This guy's about to lose a leg! I'd say chop chop but that would be in extremely poor taste.

-->'''Lewis:''' Why are we doing this?
-->'''Greene:''' [[DontBeRidiculous Because putting his hand in a bucket of warm water would be juvenile.]]

-->'''Carter:''' Ohhhhh... (''starts scrubbing in more gleefully'') ...there ''is'' a God!

* In "Power", Greene and Corday are suturing up a patients head wounds and the talk gradually turns into ThatCameOutWrong, which is even lampshaded by Corday herself... and the power then goes out.

* In the first episode of the season, Luka walks into the very chaotic ER carrying a little girl.

'''Little Girl''': no.\\
'''Luka''': You have now''

* Carter’s reunion with Susan Lewis in “Never Say Never”, while he’s looking for a spider that a patient has released in the ER.
-->'''Susan:''' Funny; that’s not how I remember you.\\
'''Carter:''' (bangs his head on a low shelf in admitting) Ow! Son of a bitch.\\

* For those who like BlackComedy, the {{irony}} of Romano's death. He had to help send a patient up for a helicopter. But due to his fear associated with losing his arm to one, he got down to the ground as quick as possible. Cue the helicopter [[DroppedABridgeOnHim crashing down on top of him]].

** The first involves Jerry pulling out a twinkie and delivering his line correctly, then afterwards going "it's a little lubey."[[note]]He'd covered the prop with lubricant.[[/note]]
** The second time he scared the crap out of Julianna Marguiles by rigging a drawer.
* One memorable Season 6 outtake has Paul [=McCrane=] (in a scene where Lucy bangs on Romano's door in the middle of the night to find him very pissed) somehow hide another (gigantic) actor, wearing nothing but a towel and carrying a pair of handcuffs and a bottle of wine, behind him. [=McCrane=] then flirts with him, shoo him upstairs, and call him "honey" before asking Lucy to join them. Creator/KellieMartin, the director, and the tech crew utterly lose it.
** There's a similar outtake from the Season 4 set where Anthony Edwards is banging on the door of an apartment/set (in a scene where he's trying to catch up with Cynthia) only for the door to reveal an overweight, disheveled painter...painting the room. To make matters worse, we are greeted with plumbers crack.
* Creator/AlexKingston starts kissing Laura Innes out of absolutely nowhere in the Season 6 outtakes. Anthony Edwards reacts by turning to the camera, [[GirlOnGirlIsHot giving a grin and a thumbs up]].
** Paul [=McCrane=] returns the favour in the Season 5 outtakes shortly after a stony-faced Alex Kingston delivers her line "The offer you made, were you serious?" by kissing and glomping her.
* Creator/ScottGrimes delivering this line off-camera in the Season 13 outtakes: "This marriage is clearly a marriage truly made in the ER, because if it was [Mercy or Northwestern originally] ''Series/{{House}}'' or ''Series/GreysAnatomy'', there'd be better food and booze!" Everyone loses it.
** Another attempt: "I'd just like to say...just like to say...that this is clearly not working." Maura Tierney cannot stop {{corpsing}}.
* One scene from the Season 13 outtakes has Dubenko explaining to Neela what a key party is. Parminder Nagra walks off screen and clearly states "Makes my labia wet" in one of the most cheery monotones possible. Creator/LelandOrser and Aasif Mandvi go off-camera and crack up.
* From the Season 13 outtakes, John Stamos and Creator/GoranVisnjic run through a scene correctly together, only for Goran to pause and state "I thought I fucked up but I didn't."
* During a Season 13 episode where the cops are walking Pratt outside in handcuffs, Laura Innes jumps after them, attacking the guys and begging them not to take him.
* From the Season 10 outtakes: "Tell them I'm pregnant, maybe they'll cut me some [slack originally] snack and...(trails off into laughter)" Doubly funny as Sherry Stringfield really ''was'' pregnant at the time.
* Sherry Stringfield delivering a line to a patient, ending with "but in situations like these..." Someone off-camera yells "The memory goes first!" All she can do is swear.
* Eriq La Salle's inability to pronounce "Megalomaniacal" in the Season 7 outtakes (this apparently turned into "Maniacal sadist" in the end).
* From the Season 9 outtakes, Paul [=McCrane=] absolutely ruining a take by finishing the scene perfectly, only to then turn to the camera and pull a face that is completely inappropriate to the scene.

* Mekhi Phifer and Sharif Atkins play-wrestling mid-scene in the Season 9 outtakes.
* Anthony Edwards encouraging Alex Kingston to moon the camera while singing the Hokey Pokey in the Season 6 outtakes.
* From the Season 8 outtakes, Erik Palladino utterly screwing up his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech mid-sentence.

* From the Season 7 outtakes, Anthony Edwards saying "Show me your tits" and Alex Kingston's startled "[[BigWhat What?!]]"
* Basically anytime Alex Kingston appears in a scene; her facial expressions are hilarious.

-->'''Luka''': Have you ever been to the circus?
'''Little Girl''': no.
'''Luka''': You have now

* One memorable Season 6 outtake has Paul [=McCrane=] (in a scene where Lucy bangs on Romano's door in the middle of the night to find him very pissed) somehow hide another (gigantic) actor, wearing nothing but a towel and carrying a pair of handcuffs and a bottle of wine, behind him.
