* UnacceptableTargets: Going hand in hand with SacredCow above, ribbing the show and/or Bill himself rarely ended well.

* OldShame: The old PC Edutainment title VideoGame/BillNyeTheScienceGuyStopTheRock was implied to be this. When Creator/RoosterTeeth brought the game to him to show it off for the ''Bill Nye Saves The World!'' episode ''Cheat Codes for Reality'', his first response was "You did ''not'' bring that freaking game!'', followed by embarrassment over one of the PunnyName jokes, going as far as to saying that he's reluctant to call it the worst thing he's ever did, and then quickly cutting the segment short.

Using "and that's all we're going to say on the matter" for ROCEJ links always seemed weirdly authoritative, coming from a Wiki entry. Especially since it only needs to be addressed to the editors, and not the readers, so commenting it lets editors know not to start shit while the Readers can be unbothered by Wiki policy. Also, What Do You Mean Its Not Political is about when an audience perceives political messages in a work that may not have those messages, while this entry is just about a creator having a political opinion.

** The running gag in the "Dinosaurs" episode where they show old movie footage of dinosaurs and humans interacting to remind people that that NEVER happened with dinosaurs that aren't birds becomes this when you look at how Bill has been contesting Creationism in his later career (as Creationists claim the exact opposite).
