In the legendary season four episode "Money," Creed ends up convincing Michael to declare bankruptcy, before Oscar reminds Michael that you can't just say the word and expect something to happen.

But moments earlier, Creed tells the camera, "When Creed Bratton gets in trouble, he transfers his debt to William Charles Schneider," and even flashes up a fake passport of this alias he has created for himself.

Except, the joke has another hilarious layer to it, as while Creed Bratton is also the legal name of the actor who plays Creed Bratton on the show, the actor's birth name is in fact William Charles Schneider. Wow.
