The guy who played Pillboi is in everything. And he'll always be Pillboi to me.
I was just chilling, being nothing. And then all of a sudden, I was!
He's my favorite character in lower decks
Yeah, he does a ton of VO work too. But he'll also just pop up all over the place in live action shows and I'll see him and invariably say, "it's Pillboi!"out loud.
Sorry, but the correct thing to say when he pops up in something else is, "Oh dip! Pillboi!"
I hope you rectify your behavior.

How is Pillboi a hacker in Brooklyn all of a sudden?! (Nine nine!)
Im prerry sure I've heard him in Wendy's commercials voiceovers selling me burgers or somewhere like that and it was just so funny because I can't shake that roll from him either.
Anytime I had a problem, I threw a molotov cocktail, and BOOM! Now I have a different problem. 😀
Jason was one hot chick lecturing him on class solidarity away from being a true comrade
Yo, Jason, mah boi! Got a big brain buster to tell you about. You know when you're working at a company, and the work you do makes the company money? And you know how they give you a paycheck at the end of the week? Well get this: The paycheck they give you is ALWAYS worth less than the work you did for them! That's what profit is! It's the money you made for them that they didn't pay you for. Profit is just stealing from employees!
That show ended at the perfect time. Didn't drag it out, and left you wanting more. The opposite of the walking dead.
The show was the real zombie all along.

How did you make that so fast?
Sith art of Bortling.
Fun fact; Hitler is in the good place.
... It was a technicality.
Flashback:
Architect: "man this Hitler dude is so awful, whoever kills him goes to the good place, no questions asked."
Sounds like a rule that would end up landing Hitler in the Medium Place with Mindy and Derek.

I like to think of Chidi's wave line when I'm feeling down. We're all just riding that wave until we're back to being part of the ocean.
Picture a wave. In the ocean. You can see it, measure it, its height, the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through. And it's there. And you can see it, you know what it is. It's a wave.
And then it crashes in the shore and it's gone. But the water is still there. The wave was just a different way for the water to be, for a little while. You know it's one conception of death for Buddhists: the wave returns to the ocean, where it came from and where it's supposed to be.
Thanks for that! I need more of the good lines distilled. People miss that there's a ton of legit philosophy in the show (I mean beyond the scenes where Chidi is directly teaching of course). It's not just a side bit to use here and there where it helps the jokes or the narrative or whatever. I really fell in love with that, like not only was the show hilarious and FULL of interesting and likeable characters, they really made it kind of a class in (or "love letter" about?) the strengths/weaknesses/clashes to different approaches to existential philosophy.
And they did it in a way that wasn't ham-fisted, ya know? If you already knew some, you'd pick up on it, if not, maybe you'd pick up a few tidbits here and there but otherwise, just a great show without any of that! That's so hard to do well, idk, I'm just so impressed lol.
This is why The Good Place is my comfort show. Chidi’s monologue both brakes me and puts me back together. Every moment in the finale is a work of art but that scene on the couch, there just aren’t words.
Every time someone I know passes I watch that whole episode and it helps me find peace.
I was introduced to Advaita Vedanta through the wave metaphor. Nondualism is a helluva drug, man

If all these Christian nuts are lining up for heaven, I think I'll follow the lead of Chief Hatuey and go to hell to avoid all these idiots ....
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatuey
The chief then said without further thought that he did not want to go there but to hell so as not to be where they were and where he would not see such cruel people.
Sort of the opposite of Moctezuma II, who converted to Christianity at the last minute in order to save his life.
It didn't work.
When AI images took off like a year or two ago, someone made this image of our favorite architect. I stole it, and when I had the lady watch the show, I showed it to her.
People who haven't seen the show can be confused how TF this relates to architecture. Get rekt lmao go watch the good place it's like second to Breaking Bad on shows I don't regret spending time watching.
Bro I literally can't stand either of those shows. It's almost like taste is subjective
And I love The Good Place but did not get into Breaking Bad at all (I generally don't get into shows where everyone is awful). It's a big world out there!

that's funny because while the good place is one of the best shows I've watched, breaking bad was one dragging slog full of abandoned plot points, inconsistent characters, and dei ex machina, only carried by amazing actors who acted the shit out of a script that didn't deserve half their effort. 4 seasons too long.
I understand the problem of it being slow for a lot of people, but I was working long hours where the days ran together so it was like one episode a day and then bed, so it all kind of made the months go by faster and bearably.
Who is Chidi? Why are there multiple Christopher Columbus memes today, is it a holiday for him or something?
is it a holiday for him or something
Technically.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbus_Day
It shouldn't be though.

Watch The Good Place, it's on Netflix.
I don't have Netflix but thanks! Chidi is a character from that, I guess? :)
Yes, a professor in moral philosophy and a Good Place resident
Highly recommend to watch (widely available through the green streaming service, if you know what I mean)

That wasn't fun at all.
The fun part is imagining him suffering for his crimes.
He never will, but it's still fun to imagine it.
Spoiler below: (I cannot get spoiler text to work for me for the life of me)
I mean as true as that is, saying he’s in the bad place doesn’t really matter much considering everyone goes to the bad place in the show
Whoa spoilers!
If Janet didn't specifically mention the rape, genocide, and slavery to mention specifically the rape, genocide, and slavery that'd be a solid point.
The lead singer of Spinal Tap would totally go to the Good Place, though.

I missed the word “in” when I first read it and was wondering is the city was much worse than it’s reputation in ways I wasn’t aware of.
Can confirm, I have spent a lot of time in Columbus Ohio.
