The office season 6 episode 12

Even though Michael was ultimately a good boss , he made plenty of empty promises to his employees, and in one lapse of judgment did the same for a classroom full of kids. Unfortunately, he waited far too long to break the bad news to the students, resulting in one of the show's most uncomfortable episodes. This was far and away the worst thing Michael Scott ever did on The Office. The school had named a classroom after him, the class performed a song and dance to celebrate his presence, and there was even a newspaper article about his generosity. Michael told the cameras that he promised the kids their college tuition because he thought he would be a multi-millionaire later in life. In reality, he made less and less the older he got. After Michael awkwardly told everyone that he couldn't even help them pay for college, the kids and teachers yelled in frustration. After years of thinking their education would be taken care of, Michael pulled the rug out from under them. Michael's broken promise was enough to make "Scott's Tots" the cringiest episode of The Office , but it only got more uncomfortable.
