[The entire intro is drawn in primitive vector graphics, primarily in old monitor green. Throughout the intro, we see the show characters grossly drawn in 8-bit graphics, bearing an eerie resemblance to the actors.]

[Zoom in to an old CRT monitor with the word !FAIL! in big bold letters]

[At the end of the intro, the screen flashes to a Windows Blue Screen of Death, followed shortly by a Windows 1.0-looking warning window.]

Season 2, Episode 1: The Work Outing

00:30 - Behind Roy's desk is an original Jim Woodring print, entitled Stranger Cartoon.

You can also catch a glimpse of a green Mr. Bumper toy on Roy's desk, to his left. (Coincidentally, we get introduced to its box 7 seconds later).

00:36 - A vintage Atari 2600 game console is sitting on the top shelf of the bookcase located behind Jen's desk, to her right.

The joystick to play said console is conveniently located on top of the cabinet.

00:45 - A Guitar Hero poster is clearly leaning on its long side against the shelf behind Jen's desk, to her left.

00:50 - Fun anti-piracy stickers can be found pasted on the door to the IT department: "MP3 is not a crime", "Fair use has a posse", as well as two Electronic Frontier Foundation stickers. An ominous "Danger of Death" sign warns visitors to the IT department of impeding doom.

00:51 - A copy of Frogskin Goggles, another print by Jim Woodring, hangs taped to the upper-right hand corner of another (as of yet unknown) print.

02:49 - A grocery cart full of useless PC's sit right next to the entrance of the IT department (fitting, isn't it) ?
