“So, you’re sleeping together?”
“Only when we’re done having sex.”
Jason gets the best lines.

The reason is.....FRIENDS!!
That was so sweet.

It's a good thing this whole issue came up after Michael had a few (sorta) successful how-to-be-good moments. I don't see the Michael from, say S2E3 doing what he did here.

Teared up a bit, saw it coming but the line itself hit me like a ton of bricks.

Oh this is perfect. The only person in the known universe who can act dumber than Jason Mendoza has to be Jason Mantzoukas.

u/LibertyRhyme Oct 27 '17
I don't know why, but I have a comedy crush on Jason Mantzoukas. He makes any comedy better just by showing up.

Who played Jean Raffio in parks and rec? He's on the short list too

That's Ben Schwartz. Now that you mention it, his quick wacky delivery would fit perfectly in the Good Place. Maybe he could be one of the good architects...but you know, still a Ralphio-esque douche

Get him and his mini-me doppelganger from Stranger Things, have them be a tag-team duo of Good Place architects :)

For me it was the opposite. I love his comedy, but it overwhelms the hell out of everyone else on screen. It's like trying to talk to someone while a hyper toddler is screaming in your ear. Nothing else gets a turn.
The Good Place doesn't need him.

BOOM.
Unrelated, anybody know the best way to get a new brain? Asking for a friend.

u/droid327 Oct 31 '17
When Chidi came in I really expected him to elucidate the dilemma for Michael, explain that if Janet has become capable of self awareness, emotion, desire, that killing her would be unethical. While full of needles.

Awww Janet is his best friend

u/GoodJanet Oct 27 '17

u/KidCoheed Oct 27 '17
How about we compromise, We don't Kill you and we continue on as usual, that's a good compromise right?

"You didn't tell me about Vicky's new torture and the needles...in my face."
"It hurts to walk because there are needles in my feet."
Needles are a good torture.

The only thing I don't get is how did Vicky spin that as being part of the "Good Place"?

It was just like Ben Wyatt in "Parks and Rec" getting an acupuncture treatment, because Donna and Tom were trying to get him to relax, but then he ended up freaking out.
(I guess Mike Schur does not like acupuncture.)

Janet’s rebound guy seems a little dumber than Jason. Maybe she has a type!

When you have all of the knowledge in the known universe, you gravitate toward people that offer... other things.

u/seltzerlizard Oct 27 '17
To be fair, all of humanity must appear as dumb as Jason to her. Derek might be her honest assessment of people.

Do the demons bother calling Janet? Isn't she shared by the core 4 and Michael.

Is Janet like, God?
I mean, she's got all the knowledge in the universe, she can do anything, and she MADE A FORKING PERSON.
Maybe God is a Janet that got rebooted like, a million times.
