* In the script for an issue of ''ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}: The Atlantis Chronicles'', Peter David [[http://www.dcinthe80s.com/2016/03/peter-david-reveals-dcs-big-plans-for.html described]] the "face" of the meteor that destroyed Atlantis. He meant it metaphorically, but the artist, working from a script translated into Spanish, took him literally and drew the meteor with a skull face on it. When he saw the art, David said "Keep it," reasoning that the only thing more terrifying than a meteor heading right for you is a meteor heading right for you WITH A SKULL ON IT.

** InUniverse example in ''Literature/TheSilmarillion''. Aulë, one of the Valar sent to craft the world before the coming of the mortal races, created the Dwarfs in secret so he'd have students to teach but could not give them souls. The god of the setting, Eru Ilúvatar, adopted them and gave them souls himself even though they weren't originally part of his plan for the world. This caused some strife down the line, but since [[SatanicArchetype Melkor]] had already screwed things up beyond recognition and they were specifically built to resist his corruption it worked out okay. The Ents also weren't in the original plan, but were made at the request of Aulë's wife Yavanna as guardians of the wild places.

Differs slightly from attaching HilariousOuttakes to the ends of shows. Related to NoFourthWall and EnforcedMethodActing - especially in cases of pain and surprise. See also RuleOfFunny, RuleOfCool.

* The Slap Chop commercial features Creator/VinceOffer throwing a competitor product [[BlindShoulderToss over his shoulder into the sink]]. The Spanish-language version of the commercial leaves in a blooper where it ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b86SOHZ0nIA#t=1m2s smashes the venetian blinds behind him.]]'' It was presumably kept in thanks to how 31 flavors of [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments hilarious]] it is. This was referenced in a later commercial for the Da Vinci Pro Cutting Tool, where Vince throws a $200 food slicer out the window.

* ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'s iconic mask was due to this trope -- when he joined the ComicBook/XMen in ''Giant-Size X-Men'' #1, he was meant to keep the same mask design that he had when he first appeared in ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'' #181. However, the person who drew it, made the ears and eyes too wide. However, when it was shown, they thought that it made him look like Franchise/{{Batman}} and was kept in.

The preservation of ad libs, improvisations, and the occasional accident or mistimed what-have-you for dramatic or comic effect, sometimes at the expense of continuity.

* In ''ComicBook/ArkhamAsylumASeriousHouseOnSeriousEarth'', the scene where Batman stabs his own hand with a shard of glass had the script call for Batman to draw a small amount of blood to snap himself out of his daze. Dave McKean however, drew the scene with Batman driving the shard straight through his hand. Grant Morrison was delighted by this (since it made an already freaky scene absolutely nightmarish), and kept it in.
