Goofs

Pomeroy takes a whole sugared ring donut and puts it behind his back - when he holds it up, it has a bite taken out of it

Towards the end of Mike's frittata demonstration on the air, the digital clock on the screen says 8:25. Seconds later, the clock on the wall says 8:50.

The Cisco phones used in the IBS offices are obviously not connected, as their LCD displays are blank. This happens multiple times in the film, notably whenever shots are made from behind Jerry's desk. The display on his phone is in fact also cracked from top to bottom.
