Trivia

The name of the company is never revealed. However, the badges used by its employees have an uppercase B, and the Time Magazine cover calls CEO Andy Tucci (Gabriel Gambetta) as "the man with two billion buddies" - "buddies" being similar to Facebook's "friends" or Twitter's "followers".

Quotes

Wyatt: Thanks for the food, man. For such a smart guy, you're pretty fucking dumb.

Crazy Credits

An outtakes reel follows the end credits. The last outtake features Gabriel Gambetta as Andy Tucci saying "are you a steamroller driver, or a squirrel?", and staring intently at Simon for a few seconds; then he cracks up and tells the crew "I think we should fire the writer" - meaning himself.
