The scene where Michael pushes Toby's lunch tray off the table was not scripted. The crew was doing one last take of the scene and actor Paul Lieberstein suggested that Steve Carell push his food off the table.
The ping pong game between Dwight and Mose was made using computer-generated imagery. Rainn Wilson and Michael Schur mimed the actions of a ping pong game, and during the stages of editing and post-production the ping pong ball was added in as an effect.
Dwight reels off the names of his table tennis heroes. All those mentioned are actual players. The first named is World Cup and Olympic Gold Medal champion Zoran Primorac from Croatia, followed in order by Olympic Gold Medalist Jan Ove Waldner from Sweden, Olympic and World Table Tennis Gold medalist Wang Tao from China, Jorg Robkopf from Germany, who won Gold at the World Tennis Championships and Silver at the Olympics, Ashraf Helmy from Egypt, who competed at the 1988, 1992, and 2000 Olympics, Hugo Hoyama from Brazil, who won medals at the Pan American and Latin American championships, and, lastly, Andrzej Grubba from Poland, who won Gold at both the World and European championships.
During Jan's talking head segment, a plaque that reads Robert Mifflin Memorial Conference Room can be seen behind her.
At 14:36 remaining, on the whiteboard behind Angela and Oscar, "CONGRATS TO L.T. BRIAN STANN, USMC. FOR T.K.O. 9/5 KEEP IT UP!!" can be seen. Brian Stann won his UFC fight in Las Vegas Nevada by TKO on 9/5/07.
