10 Things You Somehow Missed In The Office

4. A Not So Subtle Fish Based Dig At Michael

The Office
NBC

Featuring prominently on Michael's "Do Not Mock List", the regional manager's impromptu - and entirely accidental - tumble into a koi pond on a business trip is an Office moment that never fails to elicit screams of laughter from the audience.

Following Michael's quick dip in Season Six's appropriately titled Koi Pond, his subordinates are - rather unsurprisingly - extremely unsympathetic to their boss' humiliating plight, crowding around a monitor to watch grainy video footage of his fall and mercilessly mocking him with fish based puns;

"Hey Boss - did you find Nemo?"
"I can name Pixar movies too! Toy Story!"
"Don't you mean...Koi Story?"

While the obvious taunts in the episode are impossible to miss, Pam can actually be seen to be taking a further not-so-subtle dig at Michael in an instance that goes missed by nearly every single member of the show's fandom.

In a further chuckle-worthy moment in an episode already laden with them, Pam's screensaver has mysteriously changed to an aquarium filled with tropical fish in the immediate aftermath of her boss' plunge. This writer cannot begin to fathom - get it? I'll see myself out - where on earth she may have got the inspiration for that.
