** On top of that, most people doing a Mr. Bill impression will exlaim "Oh no, Mr. Bill!", since even in Mr. Bill's voice, "oh no!" is far too generic a catchphrase to make the reference readily apparent. Needless to say, "Oh no, Mr. Bill!" is not the sort of thing Mr. Bill would say.

* BeamMeUpScotty: Despite being a catchphrase plastered on almost every piece of merch, Mr. Bill ''never'' actually said "OHHHHH NOOOOOOOO!!!" in any of the original SNL shorts. He ''did'' however scream "OHHHHHH!!!!" and "NOOOOO!!!" whenever he got hurt, so it's not too far of a reach for people to just connect the two. Post SNL however, Mr. Bill would start to actually adopt the phrase.

Even if Data Age hadn't have gone under, the Video Game Crash of 1983 most likely would have halted the games momentum. Even in video games, Mr. Bill just can't catch a break.

** Mr. Bill's Christmas Special was originally intended to air on the December 22nd, 1979 episode of SNL, where it would chronologically follow Mr. Bill Builds A House in the season 5 StoryArc about the collapse of his life (going from the destruction of his new house to him being homeless on Christmas.) However, the sketch was cut due to time constraints, and was aired the following season, hence the lack of explanation as to how he managed to successfully get out of jail.

One theory on the exclusion of Mr. Bill Goes To L.A. is that it was excluded from home video collections due to a scene involving a giant bag of cocaine unwillingly being given to (re: dropped on) Mr. Bill.

* OutOfOrder: Oddly, the 1978-79 season's Mr. Bill segments on ''The Best of Saturday Night Live: The Mr. Bill Collection'' are not presented in chronological order by airdate. This is best exemplified by "Mr. Bill Goes To Saturday Night Live" (the cold open of that season's finale) being included immediately after sketches that premiered the previous October, rather than any of the 7 sketches that preceded it that season.

*** On the VHS release ''The Best of Saturday Night Live: The Mr. Bill Collection'', only one of the first five Mr. Bill sketches (Mr. Bill Goes To The Circus) is included, possibly due to EarlyInstallmentWeirdness. All four are available between the box sets of ''SNL'''s first three seasons, if you don't mind the inconvenience.

* TheOtherDarrin: Post-''SNL'' Mr. Bill films and sketches usually featured Walter Williams himself as Mr. Hands, while John Borkowski was credited in the role on ''Ohh Nooo! Mr. Bill Presents''. Of course, no one's going to nitpick the differences in Mr. Hands'... hands, but Walter's voice is kinder and softer in tone than Vance [=DeGeneres=]' was on ''SNL'', which could make the abuse Mr. Bill gets more jarring as a result.
