* The titular desk job is nothing more than inspecting Aperture-made toilets. Fortunately the player only has to deal with the "boring" version of the desk job for the first three minutes of gameplay.
* Everything involving the invention of (this version of) the Aperture Science Turret. Especially since the prototype turrets seen here are made out of toilets.
** And how did Grady come up with the idea of the turret? He and the player saw a toilet that was [[MadeOfIncendium smoking]], then Grady fell in the toilet when it blasted him with water, ''then'' the player's attempts at getting Grady out wound up breaking the Ammunition pipeline overhead…just in time for a ton of bullets to ''spill out of it and into the water bowl of the toilet''. The comic timing of it has to be seen to be believed.
