Koi Pond (The Office)

"Koi Pond" is the eighth episode of the sixth season of the American comedy television series The Office and the show's 108th episode overall. The episode was written by Warren Lieberstein and Halsted Sullivan, and directed by Reggie Hudlin. It originally aired on NBC on October 29, 2009.

The series, presented in a mockumentary style, depicts the everyday lives of office employees at the Scranton, Pennsylvania branch of the fictitious Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. In the episode, Michael (Steve Carell) and Jim (John Krasinski) go to a sales meeting across town, where Michael falls in a koi pond and has to return to the office soaking wet. Meanwhile, Pam (Jenna Fischer) and Andy (Ed Helms), as punishment for having the two lowest sales records in the office, are required to go cold calling for sales across town. The episode achieved a viewership of 8.2 million in the United States.

The cold open of the episode featured Michael hosting a haunted house in the company's warehouse for the office workers' children, where Michael pretends to hang himself at the end in an attempt to scare the children. The cold open aired only once, on the night of the episode's premiere, and was subsequently pulled from future reruns by NBC. The episode received mostly positive reviews from critics.
