"Stealing the Party" clip

Mike and Sulley are visiting Monkeys University for the weekend. The Oozma Kappas are throwing their first party, but no one shows up. However, Mike and Sulley have a plan to liven up the house. Using a borrowed door station, they sneak into a party at the Roar Omega Roar fraternity and steal all of its food and guests to fill the Oozma Kappa house. The supply runs take them through the closet doors of a married couple's bedroom, repeatedly disturbing their sleep.

Once they have the party fully stocked, Scott "Squishy" Squibbles' mother Sheri walks in on it while doing a load of laundry. She is angry with the fraternity, but only because they did not invite her. After lighting a bonfire on the lawn, Sheri introduces the crowd to "door jamming." This involves jumping from the roof and landing safely on the lawn after passing through the two doors, to the humans' terror. The guests congratulate the Oozma Kappas along with Mike and Sulley for putting together such a great party.

In a post-credits scene, the husband and wife wake their son up and ask if they can sleep with him. They say that there is a monkey in their closet, to which their son replies, "That's what I've been trying to tell you!"
