 The scene where Andy has his chest hair removed, required five  cameras set up for the shot. Star Steve Carell (qv)s chest hair  was actually ripped out in the scene. The actor had told director  Judd Apatow (qv) just before shooting the scene: "It has to be  real. It wont be as funny if its mocked up or if its special  effect. You have to see that this is really happening." The scene  had to be done in one shot.
