In Promos (2013) Pam, watching all the romantic moments she and Jim shared from the start and fearful that he has changed, says she would love to have a DVD compilation. Unknowingly, in this episode Jim gave her a DVD with those highlights.
In Poor Richard's Bar, when the documentary first starts airing, the documentary is actually the very first scene of the series from the pilot episode with Michael talking to Jim about closing a sale with a library. The scene ends with Michael closing the previously mentioned sale as well as mistaking the woman on the phone for a man, blaming her smoker's voice for the confusion.
The new poster of Dwight in the conference room is similar to the Kim Jong IL North Korean propaganda posters.
Several specific shots and scenes in this episode are similar to other moments in the series' history: the shot in which Jim and Dwight survey the office in Dwight's office directly references a scene in the season 3 premiere, "Gay Witch Hunt," in which Michael and Dwight try to figure out which office workers are gay; Dwight using his fake car siren to pull Angela over resembles a scene in the season 6 episode "Delivery," in which Dwight attempts to give Jim and Pam an escort to the hospital using the same method. Additionally, the A.A.R.M. challenge in which Phyllis and Dwight have to run cups of hot coffee through an obstacle course is similar to a game the workers play in the season 2 episode "Office Olympics," though the producers have stated that this resemblance in particular was unintentional.
The obstacle course in the warehouse was crafted by Rogers and Forrester, with input from the show's art department. Wilson also helped, since he eventually was the one who ran through it; it was his idea to have the course terminate on a raised palette of boxes. Originally, the course was supposed to be in the parking lot, but Rogers moved it, feeling that the warehouse was "more organic" and that the heat would have been detrimental to the finished product.
