3. Actually, he gets someone else to do the firing

How often have we heard that someone was let go by an assistant, a text, a tweet?

4. What the? His famous tag line is "You're fired!"

Of course, he apparently screwed that up pretty often by firing the wrong person and post-production would have to come up with an edit that ‘justified’ the firing.
