The dialog of Chen, Li Li, and Mudmug is different, depending on the order you accept these three quests:
Clear the Way from Chen
Barrels, Man from Li Li
The Fanciest Water from Mudmug
There is a lot of overlap when a character is picked first or third; most of the unique lines are when a character is picked second.
After completing these three quests, this also affects the order of the bosses you fight in the next quest in the chain, Cleaning House
If you pick Chen first, Li Li second, Mudmug third:

If you yourself are caught in a barrel, you can put your own "ridiculous muscles" to use and break out (there should be a button that pops up to allow you to do it; if it doesn't, you might check your action bar mods). Just...don't do it when Ook-Ook is close by; otherwise he'll just chuck another barrel on you. Since these barrels also do damage (about 20k to a mage in my experience), it's unwise to tempt Ook-Ook more than necessary.
In other news, one thing the barrel "prisoners" might say is "Ach! The light... It hurts our eyes...." ...which sounds like a Lord of the Rings reference to me.

Ook-Ook is basically harmless, so don't bother being afraid him or letting him slow your quests down because you're trying not to get close. he won't attack. if you attack him or if he comes near you, he will just turn you into a beer keg and continue on his merry way, and you just click the button to free yourself. also, if you you look up, Hoptallus can be seen hopping around the outer parts of the brewery.

Description

I can't believe that giant hozen! He's just throwing barrels everywhere! Barrels, man! It looks like he managed to get pretty much all the pandaren that were working out in front of the brewery. If I were you, I'd help some of them break out. Put some of those ridiculous muscles to use. We're headed over to the brewery's rear entrance, to the east. Meet you there!

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Clear the WayValley of the Four Winds · Level 15-35
Are you seeing this? Virmen, hozen, and water sprites... all pouring out of the brewery doors and windows! What the heck is going on in there!? There is another entrance, on the eastern side of the brewery. I'm going to run over there and try to figure out what's going on.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The Fanciest WaterValley of the Four Winds · Level 15-35
I've heard lots of cockamamie rumors about this here brewery. I thought they were all false... until I saw that giant hozen. So, it got me thinkin', what if the other rumors are true?
