Does Chidi remind anyone else of an older, male version of Diane from Black-ish?

“Michael you frightened me! Jason’s making me watch this horror film about two ex-convicts who try to rob and murder a neglected child!”

Speaking of, Janet’s statement “I’m gonna toss this steamer trunk containing the lifeless husk of my ex-boyfriend into a remote corner of my limitless void” should be a liberating internet meme any second now.

Having to wait two months for another episode is how I know we’re in The Bad Place.

Chekhov’s Derek

Or vice-versa.

I looked online for proof that Jason Mantzoukas and New girl’s Jake Johnson are NOT the same person, and, voila!

And I think I like Jason Mantzoukas ten times more than the people who cast comedies like Jason Mantzoukas. If my math is right, I like him 100x more than you.

The “it’s barely a game” line made me laugh so hard and I’m not even sure why. Part of it was her breezy delivery, which seemed blissfully unaware of how ridiculous she sounded. I like Tahani actually trying to enjoy herself. It’s endearing.

Kristen Bell posted a photo on Instagram of the ethics homework made by the props department, and of course it is hilarious and impressive the level of thought they put in making it fit perfectly for each character.

“For example, most of human history” is an excellent sentence for almost any conversation.

Goodbye until January, TGP. I hope we same place again very now

I can only hope they have reached out to Stone Cold Steve Austin.

An abrupt two-months-and-change hiatus may be complete bullshirt, but at least we’re heading into it on the best possible cliffhanger. As usual, I have no idea where this is going, and I love it (although wherever things go next seems likely to be a prime opportunity for lots of Marc Evan Jackson deadpan, which can…

That sound Michael made after saying “best news is, none of this is suspicious”, I rewound it several times just to listen to it again.

And suddenly I am heavily invested in Eleanor & Janet’s friendship, when like two episodes ago Eleanor couldn’t remember Janet’s name & was just calling her “busty Alexa.” All of the character pairings this show does just seem to work.

Chidi ethics pedant corner - the review implies that utilitarianism is a selfish philosophical framework. It actually demands that the individuals practicing it sacrifice their interests for the benefit of the greater good. The only problem is that people are extremely talented at convincing themselves that their…

Derek introducing himself to the tree branches again made me laugh as well as everything else he did all episode. I rarely laugh out loud at shows but the first exchange you quoted had me giggling hysterically.

Just because his lifeless husk has been sent to the far reaches of the void, doesn’t mean Derek won’t be back. That may sound sarcastic, or delusional, but I fully expect Mantzoukas (his brain is wrong) to be back at some point. The last time we saw him, in his closed casket, he said ‘Derek!’
