When Tylor is initiated into MIFT during a bizarre ritual, he wants nothing more than to get away from his odd coworkers. But when an emergency strikes Monsters, Inc., MIFT kicks into action and Tylor develops a hint of respect for the misfit team.

* BlandNameProduct: 36 [[superscript:1/2]] Hour Energy is presented as a stand in for the real life 5-Hour Energy, as are the half as powerful 18 [[superscript:1/4]] Hour Energy and twice as powerful 73-Hour Energy (the latter two being mentioned only).

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Because the position of 'Jokester' is so new and the field of laugh energy not yet fully integrated into the common monster's mindset, there is a dearth of available jokesters who can go out and reliably bring in laughter from kids, resulting in those who can getting overworked from the demands of powering the city near single-handily, even if laugh energy is much more powerful than scream energy. Mike spends much of episode 2 nearly falling asleep on his feet and burning through a 36 and 1/2 energy drink in just 2 hours, and the company is still getting hit with power shortages despite bringing in laughs on a regular basis because there just isn't enough Jokesters around yet to cover the energy demand.
