Fun fact; Hitler is in the good place.

... It was a technicality.

Flashback:

Architect: "man this Hitler dude is so awful, whoever kills him goes to the good place, no questions asked."

[–] Moneo@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Was this an actual scene in the show?

[–] Phen@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 17 hours ago

In my head this scene was my own idea so unless I completely forgot about it (which would not surprise me) it wasn't

[–] No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sounds like a rule that would end up landing Hitler in the Medium Place with Mindy and Derek.

I'm in! Let's hear some wind chimes!

[–] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 136 points 2 days ago (6 children)

This show is one of my favorites, some high level giggles and memorable moments.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 13 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

That show ended at the perfect time. Didn't drag it out, and left you wanting more. The opposite of the walking dead.

[–] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 3 points 19 hours ago

The show was the real zombie all along.

[–] Moneo@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

I felt like it dragged a lot in seasons 3/4 but the ending was fantastic.

Anytime I had a problem, I threw a molotov cocktail, and BOOM! Now I have a different problem. 😀

Jason was one hot chick lecturing him on class solidarity away from being a true comrade

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 day ago

Yo, Jason, mah boi! Got a big brain buster to tell you about. You know when you're working at a company, and the work you do makes the company money? And you know how they give you a paycheck at the end of the week? Well get this: The paycheck they give you is ALWAYS worth less than the work you did for them! That's what profit is! It's the money you made for them that they didn't pay you for. Profit is just stealing from employees!

The guy who played Pillboi is in everything. And he'll always be Pillboi to me.

[–] teft@lemmy.world 46 points 2 days ago

I was just chilling, being nothing. And then all of a sudden, I was!

[–] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He's my favorite character in lower decks

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, he does a ton of VO work too. But he'll also just pop up all over the place in live action shows and I'll see him and invariably say, "it's Pillboi!"out loud.

[–] Mister_Feeny@fedia.io 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Sorry, but the correct thing to say when he pops up in something else is, "Oh dip! Pillboi!"

I hope you rectify your behavior.

[–] AppaYipYip@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

I always say "Digiorno!" when I see him.

How did you make that so fast?

Sith art of Bortling.

I like to think of Chidi's wave line when I'm feeling down. We're all just riding that wave until we're back to being part of the ocean.

Picture a wave. In the ocean. You can see it, measure it, its height, the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through. And it's there. And you can see it, you know what it is. It's a wave.

And then it crashes in the shore and it's gone. But the water is still there. The wave was just a different way for the water to be, for a little while. You know it's one conception of death for Buddhists: the wave returns to the ocean, where it came from and where it's supposed to be.

[–] Benjaben@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

Thanks for that! I need more of the good lines distilled. People miss that there's a ton of legit philosophy in the show (I mean beyond the scenes where Chidi is directly teaching of course). It's not just a side bit to use here and there where it helps the jokes or the narrative or whatever. I really fell in love with that, like not only was the show hilarious and FULL of interesting and likeable characters, they really made it kind of a class in (or "love letter" about?) the strengths/weaknesses/clashes to different approaches to existential philosophy.

And they did it in a way that wasn't ham-fisted, ya know? If you already knew some, you'd pick up on it, if not, maybe you'd pick up a few tidbits here and there but otherwise, just a great show without any of that! That's so hard to do well, idk, I'm just so impressed lol.

This is why The Good Place is my comfort show. Chidi’s monologue both brakes me and puts me back together. Every moment in the finale is a work of art but that scene on the couch, there just aren’t words.

Every time someone I know passes I watch that whole episode and it helps me find peace.

If all these Christian nuts are lining up for heaven, I think I'll follow the lead of Chief Hatuey and go to hell to avoid all these idiots ....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatuey

The chief then said without further thought that he did not want to go there but to hell so as not to be where they were and where he would not see such cruel people.

When AI images took off like a year or two ago, someone made this image of our favorite architect. I stole it, and when I had the lady watch the show, I showed it to her.

People who haven't seen the show can be confused how TF this relates to architecture. Get rekt lmao go watch the good place it's like second to Breaking Bad on shows I don't regret spending time watching.

[–] Sweetpeaches69@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Bro I literally can't stand either of those shows. It's almost like taste is subjective

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

And I love The Good Place but did not get into Breaking Bad at all (I generally don't get into shows where everyone is awful). It's a big world out there!

Who is Chidi? Why are there multiple Christopher Columbus memes today, is it a holiday for him or something?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

is it a holiday for him or something

Technically.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbus_Day

It shouldn't be though.
