Funny / The Good Place Season 4

A Girl From Arizona, Part 1

• Eleanor gives Chidi a library where he can summon books with a thought.
  Chidi: Whoa-ho-ho-ho! I can summon philosophy books like Thor's hammer. This is literally my number one dream. Also, ow! [laughs] That hurt.
• When Eleanor returns to the others, they all instantly try to console her.
  Eleanor: Okay, can we not—
  Tahani: [hugging her] Oh, Eleanor, you did a brave thing and I am embracing you and I shall not let you go.
  Jason: [hugging them both] And I'm also embracing you because this feels warm and my hands are cold.
• Eleanor has Janet summon a tiny elephant made of pure light that can tell you the secrets of the universe, such as...
  Elephant: Shirley Temple killed JFK.
  
  Elephant: Stonehenge was a sex thing.
• Michael gives the group a Rousing Speech, and compliments all of the group. When it's his turn for Jason, he hesitates and then completely ignores him.
  • Michael refers to Eleanor as the pride of Phoenix, Arizona. She thanks him for that, but not before saying that the pride of Phoenix is actually a life-sized statue of Alice Cooper made out of cigarette butts.
  • When complimenting Tahani, he says that she was "the only one who could talk [him] out of that goatee." In true Tahani fashion, she responds with:
  Tahani: Well, I lost that battle with Robert Downey Jr., and I'll be damned if I lose it with you.
• Shawn and his crew of demons sing the official Bad Place song—the Kars 4 Kids jingle.
• Eleanor's "why me?" face when Simone announces that the whole thing is a hallucination. It's also a fantastic example of irony. Once, Eleanor was the one announcing that things aren't as they seem to be. Now, she's the architect, and someone else is screwing with her plans!
• Derek mocks Jason, thinking he doesn't have the "Dereks" to kill him. Jason does exactly that. Afterward, an "I have been murdered" video message from Derek comes up in the sky, much like Janet's.
  Derek (in the video): Attention, I have been Dereked. Attention, murder has been me.

A Girl From Arizona, Part 2

• Eleanor: "Okay, let's focus on Brent. Born on third base, thinks he invented the game of baseball. Guys like this believe that the world revolves around them, because... it kinda does. If we could get him to listen to anyone else, he'd hear how much better they are than he was, which might make him realize that he doesn't belong here. And also, bonus... (suddenly optimistic) maybe he cries like a stupid little baby."
• Brent brags about the time he and a helicopter pilot got drunk and took the helicopter for a ride. Michael says, "We know, that's how you died."
• Michael and Eleanor summon a chaos sequence like the one from Eleanor's first day in the neighborhood, this time centered around Brent, featuring a giant Princeton Tiger mascot, Perrier rain, and giant golf balls bouncing around. Brent gets the hint that it all happened because he doesn't belong in the Good Place... instead, he should be in the Best Place.
• Chidi tries to summon a book from his home, but stops after a few seconds. Some time later, after talking with Eleanor, the book hits him on the head.
• Jason brought Janet a box of chocolate, but ate them all on the way.
  Jason: I can describe them to you. The first one... was gross.
• Eleanor tells Chidi that Simone has gone "cuckoo bananas." It's an official Architect term, apparently.
• Michael points out that Chidi is unaware of what he gave up.
  Eleanor: Yeah but we know what he gave up. [gestures] Dat ash. [holds hand up for a high-five from Jason, who's doesn't react] Come on, bud. I know you're down, but you can't leave me hanging.
  Jason: You're right. That is the code. [high-fives her]

Chillaxing

• The episode title comes from how Michael claims to have just invented the word as a combination of "Chidi" and "relaxing".
• Eleanor and Michael ask Jason for help, to which he inexplicably thinks they want him to open a difficult peanut butter jar. After they explain a bit more, he goes right back to it, but is just enough on the ball to get that he should agree when Michael asks if it was a metaphor.
• At the luau, the attendants each get a lava rock that, when thrown into a cauldron, materializes into their heart's desire. What is Jason's? A motorcycle with Pamela Anderson's picture on it. It's not her face, either.
  • Jason had a motorcycle just like that when he was alive. He lost it a day later after he filled it with lighter fluid and it exploded.
  • When Michael dematerializes the motorbike because Chidi claims it was upsetting him, Jason goes, "Oh, no, not again!" Later, as Chidi apologizes for what happened to it, Jason says "Don't worry. It's what motorbikes do."
• "Oh no, oh nononono. I made God cry?!"
• The absolute look of horror on Tahani's face when she says "discount hotel package".
• Janet suggests punching John in the face, and offers Tahani a pair of pink boxing gloves.

Tinker, Tailor, Demon, Spy

• The Soul Squad and the four humans play a game of Pictionary, but in this version the pictures come to life. Unfortunately this includes Chidi's terribly-drawn horse (Simone's childhood horse Daisy, to be specific), which starts wrecking havoc the moment it comes alive.
  [eyes pop out from the drawing]
  Chidi: [terrified] Nooo!
  • Janet later is forced to take care of and kill the horse off-screen. When she meets back with the Soul Squad, she notes that it was gruesome and won't go into detail, which she promptly does before stopping herself.
• Tahani serving as an In-Universe "devil's advocate" for the possibility that Michael has actually been Vicky the whole time:
  Jason: I say we trust Michael. He's our friend!
  Tahani: Well, he might be our friend. Or he might be a lying trickster who just looks like our friend. (eyes narrow) The classic Mary-Kate Olsen!
• Jason's attempts at interrogation.
  • "If you're a devil, how come you're not wearing Prada?!"
  • "Or is that what you want us to think?!"
    • Funnier yet is that an exasperated Glenn states that yes, he does want the Soul Squad to think that because he's telling the truth.
• Jason just can't understand why Michael is hesitant to show off his natural fire squid form.
  Michael: (somberly) Do you really want to be friends with something like that?
  Jason: YES. I keep saying!
• At one point, Glenn asks for hot pig urine. Later, Eleanor suggests getting Glenn drunk and asks what goes best with pig urine. For unknown reasons, Jason suggests coconut rum without missing a beat.
• When it's revealed Janet was actually replaced with a modified Bad Janet, Jason has this reaction.
  "Oh, dip, Janet didn't dump me, her weird sister did!"
• Bad Janet reveals that she was planning to give Tahani an asymmetrical haircut. Tahani is horrified.

Employee of the Bearimy

• The episode opens with Janet in a cell in the Bad Place... critiquing Vicky's performance.
  Janet: That's not how Michael laughs. It's more of a delighted giggle.
  Shawn: She's right. You need to nail his subtleties and mannerisms for this to properly work as torture.
  Vicky: [unzipping the Michael suit] My problem with the role is that I haven't fully figured out Michael's motivation yet. Like, I'm inside Michael, but I need to be inside Michael.
  Janet: Hm. You know, it actually feels more like torture when you discuss your "acting process."
  Vicky: You don't get it.
• Michael restores Jason's memories of the reboots so he can learn from them. His reaction is a protracted "Ooooooh dip!" Minutes later, he asks Michael to do it again because he just forgot most of it.
• The Freeze-Frame Bonus of the welcome sign to the Bad Place:
  Welcome to the Bad Place. Population: Your Mom.
• Vicky trying to get Michael's character down and failing because she just can't understand his motivation. Furthermore, when Janet declares that good will prevail over evil, Vicky responds with "Ew".
• Derek's latest drink is a champagne glass full of Scrabble tiles.
• Derek describing Bad Janet as his "aunt".
• Tahani unsuccessfully attempts to use an Americanism, much to Eleanor's chagrin:
  Tahani: What is it you Americans say? Insert me, coach man!
  Eleanor: "Put me in, coach"!
• The Neighborhood's fake people going berserk as Derek struggles to maintain control. Derek himself becomes disheveled, much like a single father struggling to keep things in order while the mother is away.
• When Michael, pretending to be Vicky in the Michael suit, passes Jason off as Glenn in a Jason suit, Shawn inspects Jason and comments on the likeness, but says that "they went overboard on the cheekbones."
  • The cherry on the top is Jason's subtle but clearly confused reaction the above comment.
• The attendees at Demon-Con thinking Michael and Jason's rescue of Janet is All Part of the Show.
  Todd: Production values on Demon-Con get better every year!
• As they escape from the Bad Place, Jason recounts all the terrible things Bad Janet did to the team while impersonating Good Janet including telling him that Blake Bortles got cut off from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Janet confirms the story is true and Nick Foles will be taking his place. Jason's initially ecstatic, and he and Janet yell out Foles' name... but then Foles breaks his clavicle, causing Jason to scream out a Big "NO!".

A Chip Driver Mystery

• To boost morale, Eleanor gives out awards for Humanity Savior and Hottest Savior of the Week. Michael complains that he never gets the latter. A Freeze-Frame Bonus reveals that Eleanor herself won most of them.
• Brent writes a terrible, terrible novel, which in his own words is "half spy novel, half murder mystery, half submarine adventure, half erotic memoir, half political thriller, half golf tutorial and half commentary on society."
  Simone: So it's 3 1/2 books in one?
  Brent: At least.
• Chidi didn't go skiing because "moving at an angle terrifies me."
• Bad Janet's argument for humans being evil:
  Bad Janet: They're warmongers, murderers, moms in $400 yoga pants who don't vaccinate their children, and vindictive nerds at Apple who keep changing the shape of the chargers for no reason.
• After John finds out that "Jianyu" is really Jason, Chidi buys his silence by having Jason teach him the dance from Magic Mike.
• "You know why they're called baby boomers, right? Because the tiniest little pinprick to their ego and boom!, they become babies."

Help is Other People

• As the final hours of the experiment tick down, Eleanor produces a motivational video congratulating the residents on their "first year" in the afterlife that initially ends with her desperately pleading for them to do as many good deeds as possible.
• After Simone lays out her theory that they're not in the right afterlife, Brent pipes up with how Eleanor and Michael actually told him that.
  Chidi: For the first time ever, I am desperate for you to keep talking!
  • When Brent explains how Eleanor and Michael have told him he is destined for the "Best Place" and then shows the true depths of his self-absorption.
    Simone: Brent.
    Brent: Yeah?
    Simone: Think about this.
    Brent: Okay.
    Simone: How could you get into the Best Place? You would literally have to be one of the most incredible people in the universe.
    Brent: I mean, it makes sense to me. I don't know what to tell you.
• Janet offers to try to get inside the obelisk to see the point totals. She instantly reappears visibly disheveled and singed, cheerfully saying it wasn't possible.
• On Simone's corkboard, one of the notes says "Where is Linda?"
• When Jason is outed:
  "Hi, Simone. Jason Mendoza, Jacksonville, Florida. Go Jags, obviously. Um, what else about me... I was born in a swimming pool."
• The final Hail Mary attempt to salvage the experiment is to lead Chidi to determine they're actually in the Bad Place. Complete with the same zoom and dramatic sound effect from Season 1, but this time both Eleanor and Michael laugh evilly.
• Chidi once again blames being sent to the Bad Place on drinking almond milk.
• When the experiment is over, Janet materializes with a glass and a pitcher of margarita as per Eleanor's instructions. Eleanor ignores the glass and grabs the whole pitcher and chugs it.

The Funeral To End All Funerals

• Michael botching the old "I'm rubber, you're glue" taunt.
• Michael's various attempts at the rubber-glue taunt eventually cause Shawn to botch it just as badly, but with all his typical deadpan menace. Gen finally points out that it doesn't seem like either of them are doing it right.
• Janet tells Jason that after his funeral, his friends sprayed graffiti on a Red Lobster. Jason calls that "the Jacksonville first stage of grief."
• Eleanor's eulogy for Tahani:
  Eleanor: Tahani improved so much over her many lives, but she also helped me improve. She taught me lots of stuff, like 'Bras shouldn't be painful,' and, 'You don't buy bras at Home Depot,' and 'They don't sell bras at Home Depot, what the hell are you wearing?'
  Eleanor: For the record, it was a man's back support harness and it worked in a pinch.
• When they're trying to carry Chidi's body around:
  Eleanor: Can someone grab his arms? My hands are kinda full with his butt.
  • When asked why Chidi is so jacked, Eleanor says that when he was 14, somebody told him that exercise helped with anxiety, so he started doing push-ups and "basically never stopped".
• The point totals of the four humans are revealed one by one in a game show style. Matt says it's because he had a lot of time in the obelisk.
• Jason says that his mother died from "the big C". That's what they called a crocodile that lived near their home. Then he says, "I'm just playing! She died of cancer."
  • His funeral tuxedo is made of Jacksonville Jaguars logos.
• Michael's evidence for John getting better? He never called anyone else the "c" word.^note But as the Judge notes, he yelled it at himself, a pack of squirrels, and a chair.
• In an attempted rebuttal of Michael using the Cockroaches' friends as evidence, Shawn asking to be able bring in random bad people as evidence in the trial.
  Shawn: Call up Elizabeth Holmes. No, Henry Kissinger. No... [smugly] PewDiePie.
• All the detail put into Eleanor's "funeral", from the white-trashy outfits to the decorations:
  • Tahani wears sweatpants for the first time. They're still dressed that way when they get word that the judge has made her decision.
    Eleanor: We should probably change outfits. Tahani's sweatpants say "Skank Army" on the butt.
    Tahani: They do?!
  • Eleanor's shirt says "Dead AF", and she's holding a bottle of Lonely Girl Margarita Mix (the exact drink she was buying just before her first death).
  • The banner simply says, "Ya DEAD".
  • Chidi is in his mailman outfit with no comment from the others, because of course Eleanor would want her boyfriend to dress up in the sexy mailman outfit she loves so much.
  • Jason tries to dedicate a song to Eleanor. He "sings" his dubstep creation to her.
    Jason: Wuh-wuh-wuh-wuh wuh-wuh-wuh-wuh wah-wah-wah! Wuh-wuh-wuh-wuh wuh-wuh-wuh-wuh wah-wah-wah! Dun-dun-dun-dugga dun-dun-dun-dugga, that's when the foam cannons go, "PWSSSSSSSSH!" Explode outward! And then back to the song! Wuh-wuh-wuh-wuh wuh-wuh-wuh-wuh WAH-WAH—
    Eleanor: Okay, okay, we're good!
• Gen's chipper, matter-of-fact way of stating that she's going to reboot Earth, wiping out all of existence and start from scratch.
  • While looking for the device to reset Earth, she puts aside one that she offhandedly says stops all wars.
  • She then starts singing a little song and dancing along, with Matt joining her.
• All the Janets storm the Judge's room, including the previously mentioned Disco Janet.
• When Bad Janet says she started a group text for the Janets, one in the back speaks up.
  Janet: I mostly send gifs of otters! [gives two thumbs up]
• Eleanor states that there's only one man smart enough to come up with a new morality system, and the camera zooms in on a still frozen Chidi... and then Jason steps into frame and volunteers before Eleanor pushes him aside.

The Answer

• As Michael snaps his finger to restore Chidi's memories, Jason has prepared himself a drink, which he then spills. The whole thing is shown in slow-motion, interceded between the flashbacks of Chidi's life and afterlife.
  • Said drink is called the Duval Ditchwater. Part Midori liqueur, part Coffee-Mate, part ditch water. Complete with little umbrella.
• Chidi's earliest memory is as a newborn, being asked if he likes his newly given name. This leads to his first stomachache.
• Eight-year-old Chidi being an Adorably Precocious Child and giving a 55-minute presentation on why his fighting parents should stay together instead of getting a divorce, complete with a syllabus.
  • When Chidi is telling Uzo about the presentation at school, he says that there's an answer to everything. He then demonstrates by trying to come up with an answer to find the best place to sit, to which Uzo gets annoyed and goes off to sit somewhere. As class is about to start, Chidi still hasn't made his mind up on where to sit.
• In the flashback to Chidi's past on Earth, he's wearing the flamboyant red boots seen all the way back in "The Eternal Shriek".
• When introducing Chidi to Janet, Michael tells him that she knows the answer to everything in the universe. Naturally, Chidi panics as he can't decide what to ask her first, and ends up asking what the biggest fish is (the whale shark).
• Chidi mentions he was recorded in a medical journal as the youngest person to ever get stress-induced ulcers.
• Janet states her age as infinity.
• When Chidi asks him how he can make decisions so easily, Jason puts it this way: "Sometimes you just have to toss a Molotov cocktail at a drone and see what happens."
• Everything involving Esmeralda, the Large Ham Goth "soulmate" for Chidi in one of the previous reboots.
  • "Who brings knives to trivia night?" "The prepared."
  • Esmeralda gives hints like "rivers of blood" for "birthday party".
  • "These trivialities demean me. I must now go to tend to my ravens."
• After Alessandra says to Chidi that she wants to break up with him, he's so surprised that he drops a fork in the garbage disposal of a sink. When Alessandra later leaves his apartment, he turns the sink on, which causes the fork to grind.
• Chidi's revelation over how much of a buzzkill he can be.
  Chidi: Hey, so, for the past 300 years, have I been super annoying?
  (a Beat as everyone hesitates)
  Michael: No, no... I wouldn't say... no.
  Eleanor: Oh no... not super annoying.
  Tahani: Not... extremely.
  Janet: ...um...
  Jason: Yes.

You've Changed, Man

• When the gang lay out their redesign, Shawn objects, "Hold the phone! What are my demons doing this whole time? I have millions of lava monsters down there who'll be out of a job. I ask you: Into whose throats, are they supposed to pour lava?" as if this is a really reasonable, not-at-all horrific question.
• Maya Rudolph using the voice of Connie the Hormone Monstress while Gen is perving on Chidi.
• "I saw the Time Knife. It was neat."
• Bad Janet's void is filled with random trash, including a billboard for Pirates of the Caribbean, and has the "I'm a Gummy Bear" song playing on constant loop.
  Gen: Ugh, Bad Janet voids are the worst. Music, off! (the music gets louder) Oh, right. I forgot. Make it louder! (the music stops)
• The computer in Bad Janet's void acts up when Gen uses it to search for the detonator. A pop up asks to update the system, and then it updates anyway without Gen even clicking it.
• Neutral Janet's last words.
  Neutral Janet: These are my last words. End of last words.
• Bad Janet's last statement before being marbleized is, typically enough, a long fart. Which she lets rip while sobbing at her impending demise. Gen takes a second to roll her eyes before marbleizing Bad Janet.
  • When Gen marbleizes a second Bad Janet, she does it before she gets a chance to fart. The marble farts anyway.
    Gen: You gotta admire her commitment.
• Disco Janet's marble is, of course, a disco ball.
  • Gen and Janet dancing to "Ring My Bell" in Disco Janet's void. Gen then realizes she's being distracted and then proceeds to sing about how she's going to erase the earth to the song's tune.
• While Chidi is giving his lecture, he is happily sliding about on a pair of rollerskates he borrowed from Disco Janet.
• Janet attempts to convince Gen to spare Earth by listing off some of the things that she'd be destroying: the works of William Shakespeare, the pyramids, and Timothy Olyphant.
  Gen: [gasps] Oh, that one stings.
  • In addition, Janet's final solution to getting Gen to listen to Team Cockroach's ideas on reform is outright conjuring Timothy Olyphant as Raylan Givens. Who proceeds to ask a number of questions about the reforms' finer points.

Mondays, Am I Right?

• Given the opportunity to read the files of every person on Earth, Eleanor's first thought is to see which U.S. Presidents were secretly gay. She later concludes that James Buchanan was at least bi.
• Michael shows the demons a tutorial video about the revised system, filmed by the Soul Squad.
  • Tahani plays the human under evaluation, Chidi a Good Place architect and Jason a Bad Place architect. Of course, Jason flubs his lines so he has to read them from the palm of his hand.
  • Then the video cuts to Michael (complete with sunglasses) at the keyboard and Janet singing "it's simply the test!" to the tune of "The Best". It promptly gets cut off.
• The demons naturally have a lot of trouble adjusting to the new Bad Place procedure, with one completely unable to conceive of any way to torture people besides bears with chainsaws.
  • When said demon is told to make the scenario smaller and more relatable, she simply makes the chainsaw bear smaller, gives it a shirt that reads "Epic bacon much?", and has it say "Mondays, am I right?"
  • Shawn, in particular, has a few questions.
    Shawn: But what are we doing with their penises?
    Michael: Well, for the most part ignoring them.
    Shawn: [throws up his hands in exasperated disbelief]
• Michael's excuse for kicking Vicki off the project is such Insane Troll Logic that even Janet is reduced to "I've literally never said this before, but... huh?"
• Janet confesses that while on Earth, she was forced to use Alexa once. It "made [her] feel dirty".
• Jason of all people making a reference to Shakespeare. Correctly.
  Jason: I read some books, man. Jeez.

Patty

• As the Soul Squad approach the Good Place, they are greeted by a giant talking puppy dressed like a superhero. Michael muses why he didn't think of adding that to his neighborhood.
• Chidi squeeing at meeting Hypatia of Alexandria and claiming to have had a poster of her as a kid. Well, actually it was Trinity from The Matrix, but he liked to believe she would look like that.
• Hypatia (or Patty) herself, played by Lisa Kudrow; basically, she's Phoebe Buffay as an ancient philosopher. This is even more fun considering that Michael had said once that Phoebe is the only one of the Friends that should get into the Good Place.
• A comment from Tahani suggests that one of her godparents is Big Ben (yes, the clock tower).
• "I've got math on my shirt!"
• The Good Place has suckers that allow you to fully understand the meaning of Twin Peaks.
• One of the ideas for improving the Good Place is "Giant mini-donuts (not just regular donuts - Dave will explain)." Michael sees this and desperately calls out, "Dave?"
  • Another suggestion was waiting for Beyoncé to die and come to the Good Place to fix things herself.
• Doctors have apparently told Jason that his brain is as smooth as an egg.
• In their Good Place welcome party, Eleanor sees the bedpan that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin hit Vince McMahon with, and declares the party perfect.
• Michael denying that he smoked any of the marijuana Jason gave him, even though he's obviously stoned.
  Michael: First, we fix the Good Place. Then, Taco Bell. [a Taco Bell burrito instantly appears in his hand, and he gleefully takes a bite]
• As Eleanor and Chidi settle into their new afterlife together, cuddling on the couch and watching the sunset, Eleanor tells Chidi to stop hogging the blanket or else she'll leave him for the final door. Chidi can only laugh and reply that he'll miss her.

Whenever You're Ready

• According to Janet, self-playing guitars are the most requested thing from males that died over the age of 50.
• Gen's been rewatching The Leftovers and almost took out 2% of the human population (like what happens in that show) when she found out Carrie Coon hadn't been nominated for her performance.
• Vicky complaining about how the newbie demon actors don't appreciate the craft.
  Vicky: Acting is just reacting, and reacting is pre-acting, and pre-acting, well that's just being.
  Gen: Take it down a notch, Daniel Day-Lewis.
• The eulogies given at Jason's farewell party.
  • Donkey Doug says he was only eighteen when he had Jason, and because of this, feels like Jason raised him as much as he raised Jason. He then thanks his own son for being a great dad.
  • Pillboi thanks Jason for being the realest friend he ever had.
    Pillboi: I mean, none of us are real anymore. We're all just Caspers the Ghosts and whatnot, which is funny, because Jason and I ain't even white. Why are all ghosts white? Aw dip. Are ghosts racist?
    • The way Jason perks up, as if this is a genuinely intelligent observation.
• Having joined the Good Place and enjoying dinner with Chidi, Eleanor, and Eleanor's old roommates, Uzo comments that he thought he'd never live to see Chidi be so decisive. He then realizes that technically, he didn't.
  Madison: Oh, that's right! 'Cause we're all dead!
  Everyone: (laughs and cheers)
• Derek has been rebooted so many times that he's evolved past his humanoid form and become a miniature supernova cloud singularity practically at one with the universe, with a couple of mini Dereks sitting in martini glasses orbiting around him. Mindy finds him so annoying she reboots him again.
• Chidi's parting gift for Eleanor is a calendar of himself in various costumes and poses, including a picture of him as a sexy mailman, a pro wrestler (because he knows her love for Stone Cold), and James Bond.
• Eleanor convinces Mindy to go through the system by bringing her to Tahani, who promises to take Mindy's case as soon as she's certified. Shawn confirms she's almost ready.
  Shawn: Oh I think you'll find that Tahani will be certified very soon. [Beat] Did that sound evil? I didn't mean it to. I was sincere. Force of habit. I do think you'll find that Tahani will be certified ve... [grimace] Shut up, Glen!
• Eons after everyone thought he left, Jason pops out from behind a tree and shocks Janet, a being who's supposed to know everything that's going on.
  • The reason he stayed was to look for the necklace he was going to give Janet. Where did he find it? In his other pocket.
  • Slightly less funny when you realize finding the necklace in his other pocket took him about 5 minutes. Even FUNNIER when you realize he is capable of calling Janet whenever he wants. (And that it took 1,000 Bearimies.)
  • He tells Janet that he wandered around the woods, and thought about the beauty of the universe, and contemplated existence.
  Janet: Just like a monk!
  Jason: Huh?
  • And after all the build-up, he just casually walks through The Door. "Hey Chidi, wait up!"
• Michael decides he's had enough of being the Good Place architect and decides to go through the door. Except it doesn't work for him. He tries again and again and finally decides to hop on Eleanor and piggyback with her to see if that will bring him peace.
  • Michael is way too big to piggyback on Eleanor, which leads to this exchange as they walk away from the Door.
    Eleanor: (rubbing her back) Fire squids are heavy!
    Janet: Yeah.
    Michael: (sheepishly) Sorry.
• It's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, but Trevor is still flying around aimlessly in the void.
• Tahani and Kamilah are stunned by the change in their parents.
  Tahani: [to Kamilah] ...holy crap!
  Kamilah: I know, right?
• John hooked up with Alexander the Great. Or rather, Alexander the Fine.
• Jeff, the doorman, still has his job and has almost disappeared under a deluge of frog paraphernalia, and he loves it.
  • Until 323 Bearimies after Jason decides to leave. Then he finally gets bored with them.
  • And then Michael gets him a real frog. Jeff looks like he's about to name it after Michael, but instead goes for calling it Mr. Jumpy Legs.
• The fact that after over 2,000 Bearimies, Gen still gets aggravated with Michael and finds him annoying.
• A final Freeze-Frame Bonus: Michael's last name on Earth is 'Realman'.
• As a human, Michael cooks a microwave meal. Due to his inexperience with both microwave meals and a human body, he grabs it directly on the bottom. He quickly realizes this was a mistake, as the meal is so hot he burns himself and drops it on the floor. Michael then makes the most genuine, wonderful sounding laugh imaginable.
• Michael named his dog Jason.
• His joy on becoming a member of a Frequent Buyers' Club. It's understandable for the audience, but the guy dropping off the mail is a little befuddled at why anyone would be overjoyed to receive, basically, junk mail.
• Eleanor convinces Gen to let Michael become a human by remind her that this means she'll eventually never have to deal with any of the Soul Squad ever again.
  Gen: Oooh, that's tempting. You guys are annoying. I mean, you did save the universe, but your tone.
