* "Employee of the Bearimy"
** Remember Shawn's plan to torture the four humans by having Vicky wear a Michael suit? At Demon Con, he reveals that he wants to expand this form of torture to ''everyone.'' People who go to the Bad Place would be tortured by demons disguised as their spouses, their friends, family... Imagine being tricked into believing that someone you love deeply is hurting you and ''you don't know why.'' For ''eternity.''

*** Think about everyone who ever died since 1497. Every child, every ''baby'', who ever died in any way, since 1497, is being tortured, most of them without the intellectual maturity to even comprehend what is happening to them, for all eternity. Fred Rogers is in hell. Abraham Lincoln is in hell. Steve Irwin is in hell. Every victim of every unjust murder, every terrorist attack, every freak accident and every genocide since 1497 is in hell as are their perpetrators. To borrow a turn of phrase from Carl Sagan, who is also in hell- every saint and sinner since 1497 is being eaten by four-headed flying bears for all of eternity.

* The whole concept of the afterlife the show presents. Your entire life, from birth to death, is monitored by bizarre and unknowable entities who assign point values to every single decision you make. If you fail to reach a high enough standard, you get left to suffer horrific physical or psychological torture forever. And that's ''before'' we find out that, not only is the system fundamentally flawed, making it so achieving a high enough point total been impossible for over ''five-hundred years'', but even the souls that ''do'' make it into the Good Place end up literally losing their minds from boredom, as they all eventually run out of things to keep them entertained. Every human who has ever lived has had a ''miserable'' afterlife experience, yet everyone involved, from the accountants to the heads of the Good and Bad Places to Gen herself, either doesn't notice, care, or have a solution to the problem. It takes incredible effort and ''massive'' amounts of luck to get them to change such an obviously and horrifically flawed system. Just imagine if the heroes had failed, and the system was left to go on as it had been...

** Michael reveals his true form is a gigantic Cthulhu-esque squid monster with "spikes everywhere" and "so much juice." It's apparently such a horrifying sight that he refuses to reveal it even when it's the only way to prove his identity, as he's afraid his friends would never be able to look at him as anything else. To repeat: He would rather blow himself up for a few months than have his friends see him as he truly is.
