Well, and two of his homies are named Mexican William and White Guillermo, and a third is named Squirtman. Pretty clear who they’re referencing. 

I think this is one interesting view, while there’s also the other straightforward view of white male entitlement that when you do a thing you deserve praise and acclaim. Like, if you put enough nice coins into a woman then sex is supposed to fall out. Or just basically how mediocre white men seem to fail upward while…

Him golfing without the automatic win feature on shows he wants to be better, at golf so that's unimportant, but he's actually trying. When he could just as easily go back to pretending he's great and living in denial.

Making the outcome of the show hinge on four three characters we have no attachment with always felt weird. So having the true experiment secretly revolve around Team Cockroach makes a lot of sense.

I think it’s got to be a mix of denial and egotism. The belief that you don’t actually deserve to go to the bad place.

It only really hit Eleanor when she basically said something along the lines of an exasperated sarcastic “I’m in hell” when it hit her “oh crap...that’s it...I’m in HELL!!!”

But in other reboots she presumably came to the realization much faster. And remember that one time it was so obvious that Jason figured it out. 

One of the fascinating things in this episode was the idea that Brent’s incapacity for empathy may be rooted in his lack of experience with adversity. When you go through your entire life with other people shielding you from the consequences of your actions, you’re shielded from the vital experiences that cultivate…

I mean, Glenn clearly has come around to that *and* Bad Janet seemed...reluctantly receptive. 

I mean, Eleanor didn’t have that revelation until the end of the season 1 finale, so...

I mean, the first season involved a bunch of demons unintentionally creating purgatory.  And with not just Michael but Glenn and a tiny sliver of Bad Janet having doubts, it doesn’t seem like Bad Place natives are wholly unpersuadable.

That Brent stuff got really tough to watch. I mean it in a good way - they so perfectly captured that white male entitlement. And the problem of everyone else always having to walk on eggshells and be the bigger person and apologize and forgive. It’s infuriating, and the show just nailed it.

It’s an interesting idea. I’m increasingly persuaded by the theories that enough of The Bad Place comes around to humanity’s ability to change that the demons play a big role in saving humanity.

Me wonder if in end, humanity’s fate will hinge on fact that new foursome not get significantly better, but original humans did in making sincere effort to help them.

Neighborhood hero.

I’m giving out full-sized Hershey bars, not because I’m rich, but because I have a Costco membership. 60 full-sized packs of candy (reese’s, hershey’s, skittles, starburst) for under $30? Yes, please.

I’m imagining there must have been a lot of Toblerone’s and imported Cadbury bars to make that kind of assumption.

Omg I lost a baby tooth whilst biting into a Bit-O-Honey as a kid. The tooth was stuck to the candy. It was so gross.

Jesus, I used to be given those fucking awful Mary Jane candies by the older neighbors. Break my damn jaw.

Esther, what are you sitting here slandering Hershey’s chocolate as the worst Halloween candy when Charleston Chew, Good & Plenty, Bit-o-Honey and Necco Wafers are floating around? Not to say anything of raisins!

If Hersheys is the worst you can conjure, you grew up in some high end trick or treating territory.
