|
| This was a "supersized" episode that ran for forty minutes.
| Andy is being pulled along by a small life rescue boat out on the lake to show him floating away.
|
| |
| Michael: Everybody, may I have you attention please? Today, we are not just spending a day at the beach.
Stanley: Oh, sweet mother of God.
Michael: If you don't like it, Stanley, you can go to the back of the bus.
Stanley: Excuse me?
Michael: Or the front of the bus. Or drive the bus.
| Michael: What does a great manager need most of all? Courage.
Stanley: How so? (faking enthusiasm) I mean, sure thing that sounds smart...(back to his normal voice) I can't do this anymore. I'm going to sit in the bus.
| Oscar: If either of these guys are put in charge of the office I will transfer to Albany, Gill can come if he wants. I'm kind of looking for a way out of that relationship anyway. I think I might try girls for a while. Angela thinks I can cross over. We'll see.
| Pam: Hey! I wanna say something. I've been trying to be more honest lately, and I just wanna say a few things. I did the coal walk! Just, I did it. Michael, you couldn't even do that. Maybe I should be your boss. Wow I feel really good right now.
| Kevin: I just want to lie on the beach and eat hot dogs. That's all I've ever wanted.
|
| |
| The fire that's started on the block of wood is obviously a CGI fire, not just from the look but that it starts up too quickly for it to be a normal fire. On top of that, it's the last time we see the bonfire as it's not shown in later scenes.
| There is no way Pam would have been able to cook up that many hotdogs in the short time for the whole staff to eat them.
| Pam says no one from the office came to her art show, which is untrue because both Oscar and Michael showed up, as well as Roy who was working for Dunder Mifflin at the time.
|
| |
| Michael: One day. Fourteen strangers...who work together. But only one survivor.
This is a reference to the reality show Survivor, where contestants compete in challenges to attempt to win the $1 million prize. Most of the episode is a reference to the show, with the way Michael starts the challenges and he even has a "Tribal Council" challenge that night.
| Dwight: We'll be Gryffindor.
Jim: Really? Not Slytherin?
Dwight: Slytherin are the bad guys, Jim.
Jim: I know. Okay, we will be Voldemort.
Dwight names his team Gryffindor, and Jim considers Slytherin which are houses at Hogwarts, the boarding school in the Harry Potter books written by author J.K. Rowling. Voldemort is the villain, and Jim enjoys teasing Dwight with this.
| Audio: singing on the bus
While traveling on the bus, the gang sings both "The Gambler" by country singer Kenny Rogers, and the theme song from the animated television show, The Flintstones. The Flintstones sing-along at the end of the show recalls a scene in the movie Planes, Trains & Automobiles where John Candy's character leads a bus full of strangers in singing the song.
| Kelly: Who’s Bob Hope?
Michael: God! He’s, he’s a comedian.
Kelly: Oh, like Amanda Bynes.
Michael: Who’s Amanda Bynes?
Kelly: She’s from What A Girl Wants.
Kelly appears to not know that Bob Hope was a famous comedian. She also references the young actress Amanda Bynes, and her 2003 film, What a Girl Wants.
| Dwight: The Aristocrats. A man and his wife and his children go into the offices of a talent agency. And the talent agent says, 'Describe your act.' And the man says something really, really raunchy and the talent representative says, 'What do you call yourselves?' And the man says, 'The Aristocrats!'
Dwight refers to an old vaudevillian joke (about which the 2005 film, The Aristocrats, was made) where in the middle section of the joke, the comedian basically just tries to come up with the nastiest, crudest things he or she can think of, for shock value.
| Michael: (on the phone) To what do I owe this great honor, David Wallace?
David: Michael, I am calling …
Michael: And Gromit...
Michael is referring to two characters in a series of British animated short films, Wallace and Gromit. Wallace is a human inventor, and Gromit is his dog companion. The pair were featured in a full length film in 2005, called Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.

| Visual: Michael's hat and shirt
Michael wears a "Sandals" cap and t-shirt from his vacation to Jamaica with Jan, from the Season 3 episode "Back From Vacation."
| Kevin: (urging Michael to walk to coals) Why don't you go, Michael?
Michael: Because I already did. Remember? I burned my foot on a George Foreman grill.
Michael compares the coal walk to grilling his foot, which he did in the Season 2 episode "The Injury."
| Pam: Why didn't any of you come to my art show? I invited all of you. That really sucked.
Pam makes reference to her poorly-attended art show took place in the Season 3 episode "Business School."
