Fanon to Canon 'ugly naked guy'?

Writing something for Credence, this thought occurred to me. As I'm sure most anyone knows, there are quite a few things that were said or stated in QAF fandom / showtime message boards by fans that inadvertently made it onto the show in one way or another.

Just two of my favorites that I recall are 'Zen Ben' and 'Brian knocked up Sunshine'.

So if anyone can recall, 'the ugly naked guy painting', was this an actual fandom thing before Justin says it when the painting is being taken away, or was this on the show before?

EDIT: FOUND ANSWER. Okay I was confusing myself by thinking too much about it. Justin does not say exactly 'ugly', and you'd think me watching it 3 times before asking would've alleviated this question. But then I began wondering if he said it as 'ugly' elsewhere or if it was purely fanon. It is only purely fanon. Justin does NOT say 'ugly'.

Thank you!

But, just think if you had like 30 different people writing 83 episodes of a show, and many who came and went and for the most part, many who had never seen but a few episodes or the episode before the one they were writing for. Sort of puts all those inconsistencies in perspective.

That's true. I mean I've made the same experience when writing my own fic and that's only 8000 words and not a whole show. And probably, had I watched it week by week on TV rather than during a week marathon, I wouldn't have noticed a lot of these things. Given the amount of writers, some things are bound to slip but yeah... there are a few things that should have been noticed. I think my biggest pet peeve is when they don't properly end storylines. Like the Pink Posse thing... This whole thing was a bit ridiculous to begin with but they make this humongous deal out of it and then it just disappears. Sometimes it would have taken only one line of dialogue to end things properly.
