The Batman cop is NOT an extra. Extras don't have lines. The minute they give one a line, he's no longer background, but an actor paid according to SAG scale.
VinnyDaQ, you are 100% incorrect. This is what I do for a living, I know. Acting that is, not extra work. One could argue he was an extra if the lines were given to him on the set and he wasn't actually cast, but this is not the case. And also one would be wrong as as soon as he is give a line he becomes a "Day Player" or sometimes called "Under Five."
forbes mag either way he can’t be a bad extra if he’s given lines. If he’s directed to do those things and say those lines then it’s the fault of continuity not the actor
Guy stands in background of shot, does absolutely fine job as an extra, internet decides to start a conspiracy that he's Elvis - "terrible extra who ruined his scene".
this happens more than one time in this movie. an extra also fell down without being hit right before batman blows the whole in the wall to free the police
Vlane Tepish I would also say the dark knight rises one is just common sense of the henchman, I mean, if I saw batman beating up the other henchmen around me, I'd play dead as well.
+Hershey11 No, they reshoot scenes all the time and they do record all of that information. If your hair is in a certain way, they take a picture of that so they have a record of it.
He COULD absolutely do something about his hair... that would already help a lot. And it is precisely _because_ she had no way of knowing whether or not she was still in the shot that she shouldn't have broken character until the scene was declared over.
Mel Ody He is handpicked as an extra *because of his appearance*. If he change that, he would lose his job. And, no. She is an extra, she is not meant to keep running and actually find medical help just because she is not supposed to break character. She is there to appear on the background for a moment, not to build the story.
The point in the video was that he was a bad extra because he doesn't blend into the background. The fact that he is now handpicked because of that, probably for comic relief, is a result of not being able to blend in. Of course, for the jobs he is _now_ handpicked for, he can't change his appearance, but that wasn't the point originally made in the video as I understood it. In order to better blend in as an extra, as was originally his job, there were things he could have done.
I have a suspicion that the guy "sweeping" in Quantum of Solace was told not to let the broom touch the ground because it made too much noise in a previous take.
the audio can be turned down to where the sweeping is not heard and there are other ways of not making noise...besides, those brooms are not loud, he just didn't know what he was doing
Um, you know there were actors in that scene, right? And they were delivering dialogue. Dialogue is also audio. If you turn down the audio, you turn down the dialogue.
dovregubben78 um, you know dialogue can be re-recorded (aka) looped/dubbed in right? and no, you don't turn down the dialogue..there's more than one mic...also, the mic would have been far enough away as to not pick up the broom...they don't use cheap equipment or techniques to where every sound can be heard or thing can be seen...it's also called editing..basically anything distracting can be edited out in a movie to where you'd never know it was there...try watching some documentaries and behind the scenes stuff sometime
As a professional Background Actor, some of these do ring true. Regrading the broom sweeping incident (and, no, I wasn't there), all I can offer is this. During takes, absolute silence is often required, because sound equipment is incredibly sensitive. For instance, If someone's shoes are noisy, they get padded. Club scenes, crowded interior/exterior shots are all shot in absolute silence, with the volume being added-in in post-production. Yes, we'll do some takes with volume; but, when you see actors talking, everything else is silent. So, that BG (as we're called) was probably told to 'mime' his action (as we're often told to do), because the sound of the hard-bristles on the floor was, probably, too loud, but he took it too far.
I'm betting that (if that was the problem) they didn't think the broom was an issue until it was. I don't know how long it takes to mock up a broom that's not really noisy. I bet they just said pretend to sweep but he pretended a little too hard.
The Anonymous Sir Backspace I'm sure there's something they could've done; but, honestly, sometimes background just fuck around without realising they're on camera. Some just don't care.
Yes, as an ACTRA member (which is the Canadian actor's union), I enjoy excellent wages and benefits. Mind you, I'm not driving a Porsche; but I don't need to work 9 to 5, or everyday, to pay my bills. If you're not an ACTRA member, it's a much different story.
The title is misleading, because several of these were not the extra's at all! They were faults the director/editor should have noticed, like the Batman Begin's one, the scene was put in the wrong place, that isn't the extra's fault. Or the Home Alone one. You can't blame him for what the internet did! Could have gone with some of the MANY Star Trek goof where extra's are seen several times over attempting to be close to the captain, (Both Kirk and Picard) the Extra's who frequently upstage the leads, and MANY MANY more! Seriously, if you want to see what extra's should not do, watch Star Trek. They get it bad a lot of times.
A good chunk of these weren't even the fault of the extra: 10: So he vaguely resembles Elvis? I don't see it really so uuh blame the casting director? 9: Bad editing and bad directing (you could chalk it up to bad second unit work but Nolan doesn't seem to use second unit) 8: Actually legit bad work of background actors 7: Sounds like bad continuity errors editing between the footage of the stunt double 6: Arguable; seems like poor scene blocking 5: Partly his fault? Sounds like he works around quite a bit so people have begun spotting him 4: Possible, I've seen some propose me might have been directed to do so to avoid dust kicking up or to keep the sound of the broom being picked up on mic. 3: Legitly bad extra 2: Legitly bad extra 1: Legitly bad extra
1: Wasn't a bad extra. Batman threw a Batarang at the dude, it was just a bit hard to get, since the upper half of his body was cut away by the camera.
Darren Turner and apparently the bearded guy in home alone was just standing there and some people on the Internet said he was Elvis, that isn't the extras fault either
For that, didn't it come out it was Bail who messed up choreography and the guy actually fell down when he was suppose to because the other guy Bail was holding was meant to be thrown into him? And he jumps back at an angle to take the 'hit' but also so he's not toppled on by the other guy?
Exactly. Whoever wrote the script clearly didn’t recognise it not the actor- he read the lines. Yeah the other guy looking like Elvis how dare he distract people with his appearance 🙄🙄 I usually like What Culture but this is a really bad and not thought out video
If they get paid more and are listed in the credits are they technically still extras? And If you are the main singer in a musical number in a musical movie are you still an extra?
As far as I know, extras don't talk, so if you have at least one line of dialogue, you are called something else. I don't know if there's a specific term for that kind of actor. In French, it's called a "silhouette".
I think the guy who says "a what?" in JAWS was meant to be funny. I've always read that as an intentional joke. It also doesn't undermine the scene, there is another funny line that follows it too. When we come back to Richard Dreyfuss and the same guy says something like "what is this bite radius crap? Why don't you stick your freaking head in there and find out its a man eater." to witch Dreyfuss responds with a joke. The scene doesn't become serious until the mother of the boy shows up and slaps Brody. Also, if an extra is given a line they cease to be an extra and are a bit player or bit part. I guarantee that guy was given lines intentionally. Plus he's in other scenes too, when they are loading the boats and hunting for the shark.
Also, that "Ron Jeremy lookalike" looks to be Joe Spinell, and accomplished actor who was good friends with Spielberg. I could be wrong about that, but it looks like him.
VOTE or DIE?!:D Dr. Jill STEIN for POTUS..Just..Right..VOTE Clean + GREEN Party! Thanks, WhatCulture.:) SAG Membership Used to mean needing so many Speaking Parts; and even making more Money at the Time Through the 'Extra Caster'?!:)
In the Batman Begins one, it's because they gave that extra a line, which meant that they had to pay him (and, of course, that the guy could get his SAG card). When they needed another extra to say a line, they didn't want to pay one more extra, so they just had the same guy do both and probably figured, "Who's going to notice someone with so little screen time that much?" Also, if you want to get technical, they could be twins who joined the police force together.
Yeah but they are not twins. Im a scotland yard super-recognizer. (Our fusiform gyri are apprently more developed) and let me tell you, its painfully obvious they arent twins. They should stop being so cheap. If they pay so much for funny looking costumes and random irrelevant explosions the least they could do is hire another "under 5" actor
The guy in the Bond film would have been told not to actually sweep because it would have made too much noise. If they need that sound effect they add it in post. The guy shouldn't have swept directly at camera, but again, he was probably told to do it.
And btw, number two shouldn't be on this list for two reasons, 1: it's not his fault, he was given some lines of dialogue to say and he did what he was told, it's the directors fault. 2: technically he is not an extra. If you do not say anything throughout the scene and do not interact with the main actors, you are an extra. But the moment you have at least one word of dialogue you are an ACTOR, not an extra.
That cop in Batman was NOT an extra. However, the goof about him being in both of those scenes is still interesting and is even mentioned in the "goofs" section of the movie on IMDb.
My favourite one was in the pilot for TWD: When Rick's horse is swarmed by walkers, waaaaay back in the crowd you can see one of the extra's in make up drinking a bottle of water. Look it up and once you see it, you can never un-see it.
The air sweeper was the director's fault. Actual sweeping created too much dust which was unacceptable for the director. After being given the ridiculous instruction to not raise any dust, the man decided to comically not sweep anything.
10 and 9 are nothing to do with extras no doing their job; 10 is a guy the internet got obsessed with; 9 is an actor (not an extra) and the sequence is ruined by sloppy continuity and and confused editing.
There's also an extra in the beginning of The Fellowship of the Ring who's one of the elves, when he aims his bow he gets all wide-eyed. And at the end of Return of the King during Aragorn's coronation an extra as a soldier can be seen hysterically laughing.
Still doesn't excuse the fact that that cop was clearly not an extra. He might have been cop 1 or cop 2 but he was an actual character who appeared multiple times in a shot by himself and spoke several lines. Not an extra. He would have been cast by a casting director for the role
My brother was an extra in a film called the Emperor's Club. In an early scene, while Kevin Kline's character is talking to a student, you can see 2 students walking across the lawn (or path... I can't remember). One of the students (my brother) turns his head, looks at the camera, and starts walking like Shaggy in Scooby-Doo.
VerilyVerbatim Yeh it's still amusing. But for every good video they upload, there's 3 dogshit ones released on the same day. 5-7 Top 10's a day is ridiculous. There's no thought put into them anymore. They're all about making as much money as quickly as possible before they lose all of their viewership in 2 years time.
One of my all time favorites not mentioned is in Christmas with the Kranks, when the fire dept comes to rescue Luther, the black extra gets smashed in the face by another extra handling the ladder.
Jim Belushi was on Letterman in the eighties showing a clip of a movie where he was an extra. He was simply supposed to walk once behind the main actress in a scene at the park, but he kept walking in and out of the shot. It was so funny.
During the opening battle in Gladiator, when the barbarian hordes charge the legions, you can see a grinning extra SQUARE in the middle of the frame right after the two armies meet.
The "mustachio" guy is actually Jason Lee, who played Earl in "my name is Earl", and this is exactly how Earl would act in such situation... I think it was deliberate.
Even identical twins, despite their name, dont look exactly alike. Im a scotland yard superrecognizer snd its painfully obvious they arent twins. Now before you say Im lying. Its all public record who the met police employs. (I work there as well)
Braveheart's full of great examples. My favourite being at the end of the first battle; Wallace reins in his horse having realising the battle is over, but unfortunately there's some extras in the background who simply wind down their choreographed fight moves and stand looking a bit awkward, as if realising at last the futility of war and the brotherhood of man. I hope they got fucking fired.
Not really an extra, but how about Emmit's youngest kid who kept pointing to his package at the end of Back to the Future 3. He had like 10 seconds of screen time and he made the most of it.
In the movie, "National Treasure 2", one extra runs across the screen as a garbage truck rampaged through the small streets of London. According to the director's commentary, he said he yelled at that extra for ruining the shot... and then when he looked back at the footage and saw how how good it looked, he went back to that extra and apologized.
There's this wonderful invention called Google, you can use it to find out what words mean before you throw them around like a kid who just learned about swear words.
Michael Langfitt clickbait: using a screenshot from home alone saying elvis is there and putting in a title of "terrible extras" and then proceeding to explain that this man in this home alone scene is "terrible" because he stands there and looks absolutely nothing like elvis. That checks off all of the parts of click bait..you might want to take your own advice, bud.
Michael Langfitt i did. his explanation was that "you can't look at this man without thinking that he's elvis now." Did you listen to it? also if you're under the age of 15, dont respond, because i know that you're just going to keep trying to argue and call me some really immature names and other stupid crap.
I thought the "Jaws" reference was going to be during the false-alarm sequence in the 4th-of-July scene. As hundreds of terrified swimmers flee the ocean and storm the beach, an extra in a white shirt and tie, standing at the water's edge to help with crowd control, is clearly laughing.
I'd like to offer: The presidential Library scene from Hot Shots Part Deux. during the press coverage of the presidential Library ground breaking ceremony, a bit if slap stick humor ensues where Lloyd Bridges takes out all the other people in the scene with the noted exception of one. Once everyone else is knocked out cold, the remaining man realizing he has missed his cue, just kind of falls over.
add this one. after one battle in "Braveheart" you can clearly see 2 extras pretending to sword fight, but with complete lack of enthusiasm. they appear to be just chatting, and begrudgingly fighting
North By Northwest - a character gets shot in a public place, which is supposed to be a shock to everyone else, but a little kid in the background of a scene knows what's about to happen and has his hands over his ears.
I know it wasnt in a movie, but there is a scene in Community where the study group walks by a room from where a woman comes out cleaning her mouth and then a man comes out zipping his pants...
I feel like that first complaint wasn't really the fault of the Extra
Mark Samenfink I never gave it a thought.
He blamed the internet!! Listen.
It looks like a young Richard Karn (Al in Home Improvement) to me
you are absolutely right.
but considering the title, I completely agree with @MarkSamenfink
+Mr. C you're a disgusting human being. And learn to spell address.

The Batman cop is NOT an extra. Extras don't have lines. The minute they give one a line, he's no longer background, but an actor paid according to SAG scale.
Shhh no one cares. He's an extra.
Actually, he's what is called a featured extra - someone who has between 1 and 5 lines. More lines than 5 and you're no longer considered an extra.
VinnyDaQ, you are 100% incorrect. This is what I do for a living, I know. Acting that is, not extra work. One could argue he was an extra if the lines were given to him on the set and he wasn't actually cast, but this is not the case.

Actually, the it's not the "cops" fault, it's the editor's fault. He didn't ruin anything, the editor did.
Just a note:
If you have a line, you're not an extra.
That is all.
Thank you. I was just going to post that.
Liam Lenz A bit actor/under-five.
Exactly.
"bit actor" and "under five" are old terms for tv and daytime soap roles, not used for film roles.
That is incorrect. In both movies and films we definitely still the term "under 5".
Guy stands in background of shot, does absolutely fine job as an extra, internet decides to start a conspiracy that he's Elvis - "terrible extra who ruined his scene".
Suppose The Batman one could be explained by saying both cops were twin brothers.
Or even better, they were clones
or that the scenes were not in that order, the one under the bridge is the first one and the roof top one is the 2nd one jeez
this happens more than one time in this movie. an extra also fell down without being hit right before batman blows the whole in the wall to free the police
That's the same thing.
Vlane Tepish I would also say the dark knight rises one is just common sense of the henchman, I mean, if I saw batman beating up the other henchmen around me, I'd play dead as well.
The extras aren't the ones to blame considering the editors see these shots thousands of times before approving them.
shut uup

Are they technically extras if they have lines?
Yeah, you just get paid more and have to be listed in the credits. It's how you get some credits listing as "Bird woman" or "Man in yellow".

By definition, no, extras don't have lines.

When they needed another extra to say a line, they didn't want to pay one more extra, so they just had the same guy do both and probably figured, "Who's going to notice someone with so little screen time that much?"

@@frlipa An "Under 5" is only applicable in soap opera shows. In SAG/AFTRA, it's called a Day Player.

lmao exactly what I was thinking
If you have dialog, you're not an extra. You are an actor, and you get credited. Extras are people who you see but who don't have any lines.
YAY! I'm not the only one that spotted that dude on jaws😅when I saw him I absolutely carked up with laughter😂
the one in star was is hilarious and iconic
To the point where they actually added a "bonk!" sound in the Special Edition.
Lol, for so long I thought I was the only one who had noticed the extra on "Ten Things I Hate About You." Nice work, Adam.
he dropped to the ground because he knows its batman.
a lot of theses are not extras fault but the person telling the extra what scenes there in
You guys are overreacting over the Elvis one. He doesn't even look like Elvis! Never noticed, besides John Candy owns that scene.
10 and 9 are nothing to do with extras no doing their job; 10 is a guy the internet got obsessed with; 9 is an actor (not an extra) and the sequence is ruined by sloppy continuity and and confused editing.
@Jenkin the video is awful. Also the moping instructor. Just making shit up.
There's also an extra in the beginning of The Fellowship of the Ring who's one of the elves, when he aims his bow he gets all wide-eyed. And at the end of Return of the King during Aragorn's coronation an extra as a soldier can be seen hysterically laughing.
If they have actual lines are they extras? I believe they're actors at that point with bit parts.
I believe extras can have throwaway lines, and can be referred to as "Featured Extras"
Still doesn't excuse the fact that that cop was clearly not an extra. He might have been cop 1 or cop 2 but he was an actual character who appeared multiple times in a shot by himself and spoke several lines. Not an extra. He would have been cast by a casting director for the role
Clonehunter1 You're correct.
Extras have no lines. If they have a line they are in the credits.
I've been an extra for years. You're wrong. Sometimes they do have lines, sometimes not. Ether way they're not usually in the credits.
Feather hat guy is my new favorite person in the history of ever. He needs to do a movie with Aunt Martha from Sleepaway Camp.
I know why the broom guy wasn't actually brushing the ground. Too much background noise. The sound guys would have been flipping their shit.
My brother was an extra in a film called the Emperor's Club. In an early scene, while Kevin Kline's character is talking to a student, you can see 2 students walking across the lawn (or path... I can't remember). One of the students (my brother) turns his head, looks at the camera, and starts walking like Shaggy in Scooby-Doo.
3:45 that tackle knocked the black off of him
walking dead extra drinking water in background of zombie horde
Thank you for putting the thumbnail as the first clip
A bit of a dodgy list, but it's still better than watchmojo.
True that.
Oh, I don't know.... watchmojo is good, if you just want amusement?
VerilyVerbatim Yeh it's still amusing. But for every good video they upload, there's 3 dogshit ones released on the same day. 5-7 Top 10's a day is ridiculous. There's no thought put into them anymore. They're all about making as much money as quickly as possible before they lose all of their viewership in 2 years time.

2 years later....still "running strong" *SIGH*
tbf the sweeping guy was probably avoiding flinging dust into the scene
In the third matrix this woman is on the computer and she's not even typing if you look closely
One of my all time favorites not mentioned is in Christmas with the Kranks, when the fire dept comes to rescue Luther, the black extra gets smashed in the face by another extra handling the ladder.
I dont know about the others, but Im sure the first 2 did not ruin their scenes.
You forgot the little kid in North by Northwest who plugs his ears before a gun is even drawn
the batman one....those dont look like the same guy
I thought the same thing
Mike Sanchez It's not the same guy.
Jim Belushi was on Letterman in the eighties showing a clip of a movie where he was an extra. He was simply supposed to walk once behind the main actress in a scene at the park, but he kept walking in and out of the shot. It was so funny.
Number 7 had the black tackled out of him
During the opening battle in Gladiator, when the barbarian hordes charge the legions, you can see a grinning extra SQUARE in the middle of the frame right after the two armies meet.
As soon as this video started and the Strom Tropper hit his head onda the door, i bust out laughing ctfu
JahiSun Strom tropper
Michael McCallister I was typin to fast
the guy "mime sweeping" was "mime sweeping" because if he actually was sweeping he would be stirring up dust that would ruin the scene anyway.
That Batman Begins guy wasn't the same dude.
Finally a thumbnail is paid off immediately thank you whatculture !!!
maybe the sight of that sweet sweet catwoman ass knocked him out. js
This is the quality content I subscribed for.
an extra ruins the scene by having a generic looking face and acting nonchalant? right....
The "mustachio" guy is actually Jason Lee, who played Earl in "my name is Earl", and this is exactly how Earl would act in such situation... I think it was deliberate.
TDK was a mess too.
u wot m8 ?
Goat T Yeah the story is just so sloppy and Nolan can't direct action worth shit. He makes Michael Bay look like Michael Mann!
fuck da story TDK was all about Heath's joker
I fell asleep on the TDK. The third one was better.
Goat T
That's like saying the TMNT movies are good because you like Megan Fox's ass.
You missed the guy just casually laughing n mingaling in the middle of the first fight in Gladiator, personal favourite!
That extra in Home Alone looks more like Zach Galifianakis than Elvis.
I was thinking Al from "Home Improvement".
Aw man the guy running into the water in jaws is having the best day of his life, he looks so happy 😂
What if the Batman cops were twins?
Even identical twins, despite their name, dont look exactly alike. Im a scotland yard superrecognizer snd its painfully obvious they arent twins. Now before you say Im lying. Its all public record who the met police employs. (I work there as well)
Braveheart's full of great examples. My favourite being at the end of the first battle; Wallace reins in his horse having realising the battle is over, but unfortunately there's some extras in the background who simply wind down their choreographed fight moves and stand looking a bit awkward, as if realising at last the futility of war and the brotherhood of man. I hope they got fucking fired.
Is it just me or does Adam in that picture look like a back up oasis member
The jaws one makes me chuckle. It's just too real. We all know you cant help but smile when a bunch of dry people charge into the sea.
I thought "Elvis" was Russell Crowe.
I was under the impression that if you speak a line of dialogue then you are not an extra, you are an actor.
Missed the extra in Teen Wolf in the bleachers at the end. That definitely should be on here.
Well you know what they say, once you go black, it can be knocked out with a strong enough tackle.
The battle at the beginning of Gladiator. Most of the extras have smiles on their faces when they clash with each other.
the Batman could be explained by batarang to the face
It is never the extras fault, there are so many steps before that makes it to the screen
Not really an extra, but how about Emmit's youngest kid who kept pointing to his package at the end of Back to the Future 3. He had like 10 seconds of screen time and he made the most of it.
that step fall in dkr looked totally natural as I have done this on more than one occasion myself whilst dodging debris or suspended I-beams
2:24 Nah Nah Worst Crowd Goes Easily To WCPW
In the movie, "National Treasure 2", one extra runs across the screen as a garbage truck rampaged through the small streets of London. According to the director's commentary, he said he yelled at that extra for ruining the shot... and then when he looked back at the footage and saw how how good it looked, he went back to that extra and apologized.
this has to be the worst, most obviously click bait waste of time, video i've seen in a long time...
There's this wonderful invention called Google, you can use it to find out what words mean before you throw them around like a kid who just learned about swear words.
Michael Langfitt clickbait: using a screenshot from home alone saying elvis is there and putting in a title of "terrible extras" and then proceeding to explain that this man in this home alone scene is "terrible" because he stands there and looks absolutely nothing like elvis. That checks off all of the parts of click bait..you might want to take your own advice, bud.
Chris Jantzen You don't pay much attention, do you?
Michael Langfitt i did. his explanation was that "you can't look at this man without thinking that he's elvis now." Did you listen to it? also if you're under the age of 15, dont respond, because i know that you're just going to keep trying to argue and call me some really immature names and other stupid crap.
Chris Jantzen There you go.
I like to imagine that Jaws extra was playing Tiny Tim's "Tiptoe Through The Tulips" in his head as he ran.
7:48 it could've been batman's batarang
I thought the "Jaws" reference was going to be during the false-alarm sequence in the 4th-of-July scene. As hundreds of terrified swimmers flee the ocean and storm the beach, an extra in a white shirt and tie, standing at the water's edge to help with crowd control, is clearly laughing.
Ed, Edd and Eddy reference:3
Christian Arroyo :D
I feel that an extra not sweeping properly is to stop them from kicking up dust and ultimately ruining the scene entirely
my favorite part is the guy who is just grinning and smiling to save the kids in the water in jaws
i think i just fell in love with that over actor in the 3 musketeers
4:53 i remember watching that super bawl ad and thinking "where have i seen him before?"
Wayne in Casualty is a legend. Who agrees???!!!!!!! Love for Wayne!!!
I’m never going to unsee that guy in The Social Network scene...
I'd like to offer: The presidential Library scene from Hot Shots Part Deux.
during the press coverage of the presidential Library ground breaking ceremony, a bit if slap stick humor ensues where Lloyd Bridges takes out all the other people in the scene with the noted exception of one. Once everyone else is knocked out cold, the remaining man realizing he has missed his cue, just kind of falls over.
add this one. after one battle in "Braveheart" you can clearly see 2 extras pretending to sword fight, but with complete lack of enthusiasm. they appear to be just chatting, and begrudgingly fighting
I love that Stormtrooper fail. It makes them feel just a little human.
Harvey K Because they are.
North By Northwest - a character gets shot in a public place, which is supposed to be a shock to everyone else, but a little kid in the background of a scene knows what's about to happen and has his hands over his ears.
The broom guy was probably told not to make any noise. He could have pretended to sweep a bit closer to the floor though lol
I know it wasnt in a movie, but there is a scene in Community where the study group walks by a room from where a woman comes out cleaning her mouth and then a man comes out zipping his pants...
That just sounds like cleaver little jokes placed into the background.
I didn't notice the first one until you guys mentioned it...
the star trek crewman who is turning a non-existent knob in a hallway is a good one.
