There was originally a scene in the film where two protagonists drove to the supermarket during sleepwalking and ate all the food there. Director Adam McKay liked the scene very much, but felt that it did not match the overall style of the film, so he reluctantly gave up.

The film was shipped to some theaters with the words "Crazy Team" written on the packaging.

Dr. Robert Doback: We're putting the house on the market.
Dale Doback: Where are we moving?
Brennan Huff: Is the house haunted?
Dr. Robert Doback: Nancy and I are retiring and sailing around the world on my boat. We are living the dream.
Dale Doback: Well what about us?
Nancy Huff: I- I'm sorry. Robert... we thought that you should take responsibility for your own lives.
Dr. Robert Doback: And this is the exciting part. We're gonna put enough money in your accounts for a security deposit on an apartment.
Dale Doback: What's this all about?
Nancy Huff: Um, more than just money. We're gonna get you another kind of support as well.
Dr. Robert Doback: You're both gonna see therapists. Nancy thinks it'll help. And guys, that's non-negotiable.
Brennan Huff: Hold on. We're not going on the boat, Derek's selling the house, we have to go to therapy?
[Robert nods]
Brennan Huff: WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?
