Cups
Michael asks the employees if they notice anything different. Meredith says, "his bulge is bigger." Michael is wearing a protective cup, "same one I've had since seventh grade. Still fits."

Michael invites Jim to hit him, but Jim declines. Dwight takes up the offer, but instead of hitting Michael in the crotch, he kicks him in the shin. In a talking head, Dwight says, "Hey, you want a predictable fight, don't fight me."

Michael re-emerges from his office with makeshift shin guards and faces off against Dwight again. This time, Dwight punches Michael in the gut.

In the conference room, Michael and Dwight square off. Dwight throws a stapler at Michael. Michael says, "I said nothing harder than an orange." As he says this, Dwight hits him with an orange.

Watch it.

Butt Slaps
Inspired by football players, Michael has begun slapping everyone aggressively on the butt to celebrate a job well done, sometimes going so far as to grab people by the butt unexpectedly. Everyone (except Dwight) has been intentionally messing up or denying that they did a good job, to avoid Michael's celebratory butt slaps.

In a talking head interview, Oscar notes that productivity is down 40% and believes Michael may be responsible for the recession.

Jim notices Michael sneaking up on him and politely asks, "What are you doing?" Michael walks away in frustration, and Jim announces, "You are a great boss!", punctuating it with a hard butt slap. Michael screams in pain but has to smile and say "Thanks!" as he limps away. Pam congratulates Jim on a job well done and gives him a little slap on the butt.

Watch it.

Commercials
The office staff talk about their excitement to see the commercials during the commercial breaks. Robert California mentions his dislike towards them. Ryan asks what Robert would like to see instead and Robert begins to describe his ideal commercial of a young woman, mid 20s (later changes it to mid 60s) walking down the street and men are dropping to their knees in lust. She is grocery shopping and she drops her groceries and as she bends over her sweater slightly unfastens. She then looks at the camera and says "This was all part of your plan wasn't it Robert?" or whatever the viewers name would be. When Kevin asks how the commercial is different for each person who watches it, Robert replies "I don't know, I don't watch television."

Snacks
Kevin shows the cameras his 49 layered dip. He begins listing them all, but Andy comes in and gives Kevin an assignment, causing Kevin to lose track and have to start over.

Get Pumped
Ed Helms and Ellie Kemper try to get viewers pumped about the Super Bowl.

Have Fun
John Krasinski and Rainn Wilson tell people who are going to watch the Super Bowl live to enjoy the game.

Museums
John Krasinski and Rainn Wilson appear together again. Rainn Wilson advises people going to the game to enjoy the many museums in Indianapolis, but it is revealed to be a plot so that Rainn can take the spot of someone who leaves to go to one. John tells him that it is unlikely someone would abandon it to go to a museum.

I am a Fan
John Krasinski, Rainn Wilson, Ed Helms, Ellie Kemper, Brian Baumgartner, Oscar Nunez, and B.J. Novak all say "I am a Fan!" in separate talking head interviews.
