MikeH

Continuity mistake: After the earthquake, when Ben and Allison are sifting through Ben's stuff that's all over the floor, Allison grabs the baby books and sees that Ben has not read them. The first shot showing the books has them in order of "What to Expect When You're Expecting", then "Expectant Father". In the shot immediately after that, the books have been switched, and the shot after that, the books are back to the first order.

Sadie: Where do babies come from?
Debbie: Where do you think they come from?
Sadie: Well. I think a stork, he umm, he drops it down and then, and then, a hole goes in your body and there's blood everywhere, coming out of your head and then you push your belly button and then your butt falls off and then you hold your butt and you have to dig and you find the little baby.
Debbie: That's exactly right.

Trivia: Ben's roommates (Jay, Johah, Jason and Martin) are all friends of director Judd Apatow and star Seth Rogan. And in fact, they are even using their real first names. Only Rogan (who portrays Ben Stone) used a fake name, and was the subject of many flub-ups, as the gang would frequently accidentally call him by his real name.
