Andy: Yeah, they were nice. You know, when you, like, you grab a woman's breast and it's ... and you feel it and ... it feels like a bag of sand when you're touching it.

Trivia

For Andy to get rid of the Teen Wolf look, actor Steve Carell's chest hair is really waxed by an actress, who is a non-professional waxer. Because there would only be one take of this disturbingly amusing scene, they set up five cameras - one on his 'friends', one over Andy, one on the waxer, one for wide shots, and one for close-ups of his chest. This scene was not scripted, so when the waxer laughs and Andy's friends are totally cracking up it was for real. Though it was strongly suggested to Steve to first trim his chest hair or to take a pain reliever before the taping, he refused, wanting to have the full cringe-effect caught on tape. In one close-up a bit of blood is actually seen bleeding up to the surface - it is not CGI. It took about seven weeks for his hair to grow back, much to chagrin of his wife, who wasn't crazy about his 'chest smiley'. See more...

Continuity: Before and after the dream sequence where he kicks the girl and gives her a bloody nose, the comforter he wakes up with is completely different from the one he went to sleep with, which matched his pillow exactly. When he wakes up, nothing matches the pillow.

Continuity: When Andy hits the pothole and flips over his handle bars, it cuts to the shot after he flips and he is lying on the ground with the back gone, yet it should have landed at his legs from the way they went down.

Continuity: There is a shot of Trish's hand on Andy's shoulder and her other one in her lap when they are talking about selling his action figures on eBay. The camera switches to an over-the-shoulder shot of her and both hands are in her lap. The view switches instantly, so there's no time for her to move her hand.

Continuity: When Andy arrives at work the morning after it was revealed that he is a virgin, he pulls open the door to walk into Smart Tec and his bike tire gets caught in the door. In the shot following, the door closes behind him as if he pushed the door open and had not pulled it open.

Continuity: When the drunk girl is driving, she sideswipes several parked cars, and the side-view mirror on the passenger side of her car is ripped off. A few shots later, the mirror is back.

Continuity: During the scene where Beth is in the bathtub, all of Andy's shots have Beth's foot in the lower right hand corner, even though she only has her leg up for portions of the scene. Eg: when Beth puts her "friend" in the water, both her legs are under; we cut to Andy and the foot is in the shot, and then we cut to Beth and both her legs are still under.

Factual error: When Cal and Dave are playing videogames and coming up with different ways to tell whether or not they're each gay, Cal is using a Nintendo 64 controller. The version of Mortal Combat that they're playing could only be for Playstation 2, Nintendo Gamecube, or Xbox.

Continuity: After the second or third time the woman pulls the wax off of Andy's chest you see her pull back quickly and stand straight up. It cuts to a shot with Andy's friends in the shot, and she is leaning over Andy again.

Continuity: When Jay, Cal and Andy are talking about the date with Trish, Cal and Jay's arms move between shots without enough time for them to have done it naturally. Best example is after the line "She's really sweet," Jay's arms go from crossed to at his sides.

Continuity: In the scene where Andy is being waxed, Jay has a gold cross pendant around his neck - the pendant is visable and exposed over his shirt at the beginning of the scene. However in the last shot the pendant becomes tucked under his shirt.

Revealing: When Andy flies through the billboard from his bicycle, there is no driver in the truck the advertisement was on. You can see through the side window and mirror that no one is in the truck.
