"Janet". With the state of the afterlife being the way it starts, it's also possible zero humans named Janet made it to the Good Place, making it a non-issue so far...and in the Bad Place, calling the wrong Janet is an easy, infuriatingly mundane torture!

** Either there *is* some higher form of judgement that's not explored in the show, or this is just part of the unfair, screwed-up afterlife system. They get to act without oversight, purely because they came into existence as immortal beings on the other side.

It seems reasonable to assume that of the many people who die and go to the afterlife, some of them are going to have the name Janet. So what happens with that? Would Janet appear every time anyone tries to get the attention of a human named Janet, kind of like what happens in real life with people named Alexa?

* Perhaps this is straying more towards the philosophy of Dystheism, but who judges Judge Gen, the Architects, the Demons, the Janet’s, Accounting Office and other immortal beings?, especially since we see on numerous occasions that none of them are strictly omnipotent and are capable of being fallible. So what gives them the moral right to make and impose their judgements on humanity, including our main characters, by either torturing or rewarding them based on their actions and the number of points accrue on earth?

* A crux of the Judge's role is the fact that she doesn't learn about human life to her judgments impartial and thus fair.. but wouldn't bingewatching all those TV shows teach her about human life and its perils?

** On this point there's actually a Wiki/SCPFoundation article that uses the "memory reset" trope as part of a containment procedure for an eldritch horror, where a young woman has to be tortured to a certain level of fear to prevent the horror being born. By resetting the memory of the young woman who is stopping the horror from escaping, her fear of the unknown & the dread after the first few "new" tortures far outweigh the level of fear after she goes through the torture procedure again and again for months on end.

That entire exchange would still make sense to Chidi because, as stated above, Chidi speaks English fluently, he'd know what the words "bud", "hole", and "butthole" mean.

In "Employee of the Bearimy", Michael jokingly tells Jason "If we get out of here alive, remind me to re-erase your teen years." What does he mean by ''re''-erase? The only memories of Jason's Michael has ever erased were his death and his numerous afterlife reboots, both of which had nothing to do with his teen years.
