*** The writers generally have an idea for what the "Goes Right" version of each play is when writing episodes, but realized later on that in this case the plot made no sense since the sleigh is in the garden rather than on the roof. The solution was to just have a drunken Robert [[{{Lampshade}} lampshade]] how awful it is.

** Henry Lewis wears glasses in "90 Degrees" not because he was playing a lawyer, but because he got water and sugar poured on his face and he needed eye protection.

--> '''Chris:''' What would (a horse) spend (money) on!?
--> '''Dennis:''' Hoovers.
--> '''Chris:''' Horses don't have hoovers!
--> '''Dennis:''' Yes, they do! They have them on their feet!
** "The Most Lamentable..." had a scene cut for time involving Annie (as the king) dealing with the uncooperative castle drawbridge.

** "The Most Lamentable..." has a brief scene where Annie-as-King Walter and Max-as-Louis do a fist bump. This was entirely improvised by their actors.

** The play also has a moment where in-character Max trolls Chris by deliberately speaking in an exaggerated manner, forcing Chris to copy him. Meanwhile, out of character Dave Hearn went far ''beyond'' what the script requested, precisely because he ''knew'' Henry Shields wouldn't want to do it; when Max looks into the camera and grins while Chris furiously repeats him, those are ''Hearn's'' tears of laughter.

** In "The Spirit Of Christmas", Robert's comments about the sleigh already being in the Garden, despite Santa and the Elves coming down the chimney, were added in on the spot, as the cast realized that the "Goes Right" version of the story didn't make sense and there was no time to correct it.

** In the same episode, the king's entrance where Annie gets stuck under the portcullis caused actual panic in Nancy Zamit, who feared that she was going to get injured. Since it makes sense in-universe for the characters to yell "stop", Mischief uses the word "cabbage" as a safe-word for emergences, but she had forgotten in the moment.

** The ridiculous key changes in "Dear Santa" from "The Spirit of Christmas" were necessary because Bryony Corrigan is a talented singer and had no problems hitting the high notes as they were originally written.

* CreatorBacklash: Jonathan Sayer has expressed frustration with the horse costume he wore in "Harper's Locket" because it was very delicate and a wrong move could set off one of the gags prematurely and force everyone to reset for another take.

*** During the autopsy of Max's character, Sandra was suppose to pull a lung out, but it would get stuck and when she pulls it free, it smacks her in her face. This joke was filmed, but cut for time. Evidence of this joke can still be seen, with Sandra's face looking slightly greasy, from having the lung fly into it.

*** Originally, in the epilogue, Dennis' character was suppose to be smoking, but began coughing so could not kiss Vanessa. This joke fell flat, so they came up with Dennis saying "They Kiss, Roll Credits!" just before filming.

** The sequence where Chris has to copy Max's deliberately over-the-top line deliveries in "The Most Lamentable..." was the final take recorded, with Henry Shields starting to genuinely become annoyed with the sequence, and Dave Hearn genuinely corpsing. The take was chosen for being the "most outrageous."

** In "The Lodge", Rather than reading "EXPECT MORE BOIDES", the blood writing on the wall was originally going to say "EXPECT MORE BOOBIES", but was changed for being considered too immature.

** In "Harper's Locket", When asked what a horse would spend Money on, there was an exchange that was cut.

* PropRecycling: Robert confirmed in the Goes Wrong Along for "The Pilot (not the pilot)" that the boots he wore while playing Hitler were the same ones he wore while playing Santa in "The Spirit of Christmas".
