Line 6:
Before 1999, Smithee was the only alias Directors Guild members were permitted to use. This was changed because of the parody ''An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn''; a combination of confusion from bad press surrounding the film and the [[Epic Fail|film's director wanting]] ''[[Epic Fail|his]]'' [[Epic Fail|name removed]] (which meant that a movie with the name "Alan Smithee" in the title had to be credited, under DGA rules, to ''Alan Smithee'') caused the name to be retired. Since then, aliases are selected on a case-by-case basis.
Coincidentally, can be anagrammed into "The Alias Men".

Line 13:
* [[Dan Green]] is well known for doing voices in children's anime, so whenever he lends his voice talent to a hentai he uses the pseudonym ([http://www.animenewsnetwork.co.uk/encyclopedia/people.php?id=9354 Tom Wilson]). This standard practice for voice actors when doing [[NSFW]] work, made by a writers' union declaration.
** This was inverted in [[Queen's Blade]]'s English dub: He, Leina, Nanael and Setra's English voice actors are the only ones who uses their real names in that dub, everyone else uses pseudonyms instead.
* This is a common practice for [[Unions in Hollywood|union voice actors to use a pseudonym when doing non-union voice work]], not just dealing with hentai or fanservice series. This is the main reason why [[Steve Blum]] used the "David Lucas" pseudonym. Another less common practice is ''[[Now Which One Was That Voice?|not even listing the English dub credits at all]].''
* [[Seiyuu]] are discouraged to talk about any work they used a pseudonym for, which makes the [[Hey, It's That Voice!]] moments a lot more surprising.
Line 66:
** David Silverman used the psuedonym "Pound Foolish" while directing the clip episodes. In addition, Matt Groening had his credits removed from the episode "A Star is Burns" due to viewing the episode as a half-hour commerical for [[The Critic]], leading to a well-publicized spat with producer James L. Brooks (who had fought to bring The Critic to Fox).
* One episode of ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' had a couple of cartoons with inferior animation directed by "Allen Smithee." The episode's [[Credits Gag]] was: "Number of Retakes: Don't Ask."
* ''[[The Pebble and the Penguin]]'' was the one movie that [[Don Bluth]] didn't take credit for.
* [[John Kricfalusi]] was so embarassed about having directed the episode "Nurse Stimpy" of ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show]]'' (all he could see when he watched the final product were drawing mistakes and timing errors), he credited himself as "Raymond Spum" on the title card.
