In the trailer, text onscreen informs the audience, “Several years ago, a documentary crew filmed the story of Dunder Mifflin. Now they’ve found a new subject.”

Later, during a staff meeting, Ned asks if anyone has experience writing for a paper before. The feedback isn't awesome, with Melvin Gregg's character saying "I've tweeted" and Alex Edelman saying he "wrote a paper in junior high" and is "in a group text."
