In this clip from “The Business Trip”, the guys get ready to trip while already on a trip; see, trip has two meanings in this instance. One is the very real travel Ders completed with Alice for business; the other is the act of taking acid, called “tripping” by the kids, which people in this clip do.
Say no to drugs.
The “Jello Desk”.
Without a doubt, once of the coolest images of “The Business Trip” saw an acid-tripping Alice Murphy melt her hands into the front desk of the Hayball Corporate Suites, only to devour it’s contents (in her mind— no matter how much acid you do, don’t try to eat a desk, kids).
Our Art Department tackled this scripted task by taking a segment of the lit desk, seen above, and removing it for a “ringer” segment; made of edible, color matching gelatin.
Then, all we had to do was give Maribeth the all clear, she went to town on the thing, and the “Jello Desk” was no more. Well, except for leftovers.

Ders talks to ESPN (we mean it, it really happened) about the Olympics, his swimming career, and one of the first screenplays he ever wrote.
(NOTE: The screenplay’s not about swimming.)
To see the dragon, one must correctly frame the dragon for camera; and also drop acid.

In this clip from “The Business Trip”, Blake sees “God”; Adam talks to “God”; and Alice encounters a chair that doesn’t speak her language…
It’s always fun when Kyle Newacheck directs an episode that features Karl, since people have to take him seriously while he’s dressed like a blind hobo.
