Behind the scenes

The cartoon Mike was also in the 2009 film The Hangover.
During the end credits, an off-screen Hugh Davidson gets the real Mike to continue the improv about office space, but he can't come up with anything either.

Errors

The same crowd that is cheering for the dancers is supposed to be the same crowd who cheers for Mike, yet for some reason have been altered so they look vaguely similar yet distinctly different.
