** During the Pilot Saga, George is responsible for NBC canceling Crazy Joe Davola's unproduced TV pilot by undercutting him when he came crawling back to do ''Jerry'' for less money after arrogantly rejecting their initial offer. Not only does Davola blame Jerry because his name is on the show and make multiple attempts on his life, he also tries to kill Kramer and Elaine for unrelated reasons, making George the only one of the main characters Davola ''didn't'' try to murder.

(With the notable exception of [[Recap/SeinfeldS9E23TheFinale "The Finale"]], which featured a regular stand-up act scene and a variation on the final one [[spoiler:where he does the act ''in prison'' instead of at his usual club]]. That's because the finale had been written by Larry David years before the show ended -- and before he quit.)
** Related to the former, during seasons 7, 8 and 9, most of the credits ran simultaneously with the last regular plot scene, while before that began there was a still of the penultimate scene with the ThemeSong, reduced to only a few seconds, and the first bit of the credits running.

** Jerry dates a woman who he discovered had a collection of vintage toys and board games. So he "drugs" her at dinner time (with turkey and boxed wine to make her sleepy) and spends the night playing with them. She is, naturally, disturbed when she found out what he did.
** In "The Cigar Store Indian", George's father Frank has a ''TV Guide'' collection. Elaine borrows one to read on the train, loses it, and then a man tracks her down and shows her an art piece he made from it. Frank is very upset.

* LogoJoke: To go along with the "[[BackToFront backwards]]" nature of "The Betrayal", the Creator/CastleRockEntertainment logo [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk3RWMgGxe8 plays at the beginning, backwards]] (although the audio still plays normally); some syndicated reruns extended this to include the Columbia [=TriStar=] Television Distribution logo, also played backwards (except for the audio) preceding the Castle Rock logo.
