- I adore these two and their whole enemies to BFFs relationship. Eleanor helped Michael become human, in more ways than one, and she was definitely his favorite cockroach.

He's just the sweetest 600-foot-tall flaming squid demon in a human suit.
I love how shy he is about that fact too. Like just a lil 600-foot shy guy about his flaming squid self
6000*
He’s a real boi as of the end
Good thing he took ted dansons disguise, so he is silver fox
I thougth he was a squirrell, not a squid XD
I love how Eleanor calls michael "bud" and "buddy" like he isn't a whole ass demon I love it so much
RIGHT?
in her defence she switched from "buddy" to "demon buddy" when she discovers the truth hahaha
He is a fifty foot tall fire squid in a human onesie.
IKR SHE ALSO DESCRIBES HIM AS FRAGILE IT'S HILARIOUS!! Also unrelated to Eleanor but sometimes the demons in the show and Michael himself sometimes call Michael "Mikey"😭😭
Dont hurt the squid feelings waaaaaaaaaahhhhhh
I like to think when they were hanging out in season 1, singing karaoke and everything, that was the real Michael. That wasn’t evil demon Michael, he briefly broke character to enjoy doing human stuff.
Yes! And his little head shake after she says "see you tomorrow." that's so him remembering to slip back into demon mode!
@@RoseNoir90 the foreshadowing in this show is spectacular
Yes! I always thought that, too!
Super agreed, He was just having so much fun that he forgot that he was supposed to be torturing Eleanor. And he knows they both vibe equally cause of their chaotic vibes that's why he wanted a high five from Eleanor after joking about torturing Chido.
😮 MICHAELS A DEMON😮😢
Their relationship was truly the heart of the show. They really just turned out to be the most earnest of friends; they just _got_ each other in a way that nobody else did. Man. I love them _so much_
like he’s a demon from hell and she’s a demon from arizona, they’re pretty similar as it is
@@stevievaughan5096both were raised in burning environments, checks out
They literally couldn't have picked better actors to play these characters. Kristen Bell and Ted Danson knocked these roles out of the park and their chemistry is so strong. Their arcs ended so well.
I feel like Michael was the one to truly get Elanor. Like I think everyone loved and came to appreciate her but Michael GOT her. Understood her struggles and habits, was able to call her out on her bs, and became sort of her most stable person in her life
And vice versa!
Both took a twisted sense of pride when it came to being a dirt bag, her words not mine. But also deep down felt like there was more to how they felt and acted and were scared of confronting it. It really wasn't until they supported each other that the truth came out. Chidi had a huge part of course there's no denying it, but I feel as if that seeing each other wanting and trying to improve inspired the other to try to. Ultimately they saw each other as the worst of their kind and yet they were capable of being better.
I'm still mad we never got to see Michael's fire-squid form...
someone actually drew Michaels fire squid form awhile ago if you search up 6,000-foot-tall Fire Squid on google! :-) looks pretty accurate based on the description Michael gave
This made me realize so many things. I've seen the good place many many times, and I've always known their friendship was special and awesome, but seeing all their moments put tigether like this made me realize something.
I always asked myself: when the humans kept finding out they were in the bad place, and Vicky threatened to rat out Michael, of course he had no other choice than team up with them, but how come he agreed to take ethics lessons? How come he didn't put up more of a fight to it (he could have said "No, end of story, or I'll send you to the actual bad place")? How come they actually... worked?
I think Michael was actually already becoming friends with Eleanor even before. Even as he was trying to torture her, he was also having actual fun like while singing Karaoke and bowling and winning the minion. I think he was actually starting to see the good in her (and she made him realize the good in humans as a whole) when she tried to help him even if it endangered her because she promised and she didn't want to see him suffer. A human, endangering themselves to help him, a demon trying to torture her. I think this really shifted his perspective.
Moreover, the parallel between Michael and Eleanor is often played up for laughs, but actually, they ARE very similar. I think that Michael, initially, could respect her a little bit more compared to Tahani, Jason, and Chidi, because Eleanor is a messy bench but is actually very smart at it. The whole t-shirt thing, all the stuff she did on earth, that stuff was clearly bad but also smart and well executed. I think Michael (at the start) could appreciate that. Many times in the series we hear other demons saying that some messed up human is "a legend" in the bad place and Trevor actually says that about Eleanor when he first sees her in the fake good place. I don't think it was just to torture her, I think it's kinda real. And I really think it was definitely how Michael felt.
So Michael designs the fake good place, and brings on Eleanor thinking "oh, that will be so easy, she will keep on finding ways to fork everyone around her for her own advantage, as she always did". But this bench starts actually doing good things, she starts improving, she is EVEN good to HIM, a demon who is doing nothing but deceiving her.
And of course this drives him crazy, because it means that his experiment is not working. But slowly a realization starts to dawn on him: if they are so similar, and if Eleanor was able to become a better person with Chidi's philosophy lectures, then maybe he can become better too.
He agrees to take the ethics lessons because of this, and also because Eleanor is so smart, and keeps beating him, and that makes him secretly admire her/have respect for her, and that's why they were already starting to become friends even before the deal, and so he might just as well try to be friends with the humans and become good.
And then he actually becomes the humans' best friend and so good he saves the entire human race.
But all of that was because of Eleanor, because of her brains and heart.
Yes
This was amazing to read and spot on.
@@sushijones Thank you so much!
Extremely well put!! Hit the nail on the forking head
This beautiful comment deserves to be its own UA-cam video so that even people who don’t scroll through the comments can appreciate your beautiful assessment.
I clicked on this expecting it to be just another compilation with just scenes and wii music but holy shirt the editing is actually top notch. The way you paired up scenes to show how similar they are is amazing. Good job
I did originally put the wii music over it but it didn't feel right. Glad you liked!
@@RoseNoir90 good call to change it. im also impressed by the effort that went into the editing ^-^
I hate the Wii music so I’m happy
Their friendship is everything to me 🥺
editing together the scenes of Eleanor asking if Michael wants a cool ranch baby to eat with Michael getting Eleanor a shrimp dispensery was sooooo good
Eleanor's "ya basic" is so well delivered. I love it.
i really like michael because even from the beginning you can just tell how interesting humans are to them. and as he learns about humans and does 800 tries of the same experiment, he wants to be one, he wants to know what its like to do spontaneous things that don't make sense just for the hell (haha, hell) of it. he's always wanted to be human, even if he didn't know it, and thats wonderful i think
Honestly, when Eleanor did the hottest savior of the week, I expected it to be just a bunch of pictures of herself.
We credit Mike Shur shows for giving us some of the best TV romances in recent years (Pam and Jim, Ben and Leslie, Jake and Amy, Eleanor and Chidi), but credit must also be given to them also giving us some of the best platonic male-female friendships across all of fiction (Leslie and Ron, Jake and Rosa, Pam and Michael, and Eleanor and Michael)
I don t think michael was ever really evil demon, just very ambitious. And instead of hatred, he found people to be interesting. Just remember, he was the first demor architect who wanted to live in his neigbourhood among humans
Ross and Phoebe were literally the worst combo of friends to pick 😂😂😂
Maybe that was his way of subtly hinting at her they weren't friends idk 😅
@@RoseNoir90 he wasnt really wrong though. One is a very out there person who can be quite aggro and has a difficult history but a big heart, and the other is a very down to Earth glass half empty working class human who spends their whole life as a very self serving person until they meet an incredible group of people and the love of their life who changes them for the better. And Ross and Phoebe were good friends really. Michael is definitely the Phoebe and Eleanor is definitely the Ross
I kinda reasoned it was because Michael was tall, has glasses, and similar body build to Ross, and Eleanor is blonde like Phoebe, who's the only blonde in the Friends group. 🤔🤔🤔
@RoseNoir90 good point 😂
ted danson aged REALLY well
Did you like him in Cheers?
I know I did ☺️
Their becoming friends was honestly the best idea the writers had. I remember my bf and I gasping after the end of season 1 thinking that Michael was such a lovely character and I didn't want him to be evil and then boom Eleanor made him love her as a friend and an equal. It was such a nice turn of events to see them bond.
The Good Place is the greatest show I've ever watched when it comes to brilliant writing and I can honestly say there is not one thing I wish I could change, everything was perfect and made so much sense, from beginning to end.
6:01 that parallel wow
"I was so scared for you" breaks my heart every time
Micheal has the BEST evil little chuckle. So friggin adorable
I’m really glad Michael got a redemption because I was very sad when he turned out to be evil lol. I really liked him
I love the way this is put together with patterns and parallels!!!
My only regret about this series...is we never got to see him as a giant flaming squid.
Really? I have not seen season four yet, but let me ask you something;
Are you sure Michael was telling the Truth about that?
Michael is a demon, lying comes as first nature to him.
You should be suspicious of anything he says, ever. 😒
I literally binged the show just last month (it was probably the 3rd or 4th time I'd watched the whole thing). I now want to watch the whole thing all over again.
This is probably the most bingeable AND rewatchable show out there
I can honestly say that I have watched it at least 12 times. Its my comfort show!!
I'm not crying, you're crying
I’ve rewatched this show so much I have it memorised- how did I not notice the paperclip bracelet!?
This video deserves so much. The editing between each scenes is so good. So so much works have been done.
these two have the absolute best friendship!!! 😭❤️🥰
She was the one who figured out what he wanted and talked to the Judge to get it…to have him become a real boy. 😭😭😭
I have not seen season four yet.
But, I suspect that Elanore is actually an Angel who used to know Michael before he was cast to the Bad Place.
But, Michael doesn't remember her because his memory was erased, just like he did to mortals.
But, Elanore is actually trying to get Michael to change and grow enough that he can return to the Real Good Place.
Remember how he got the idea for the "Good Place" from the lady who was getting antimatter coffee?
Maybe that was actually Elanore dressed up in a demon suit. 💡
in my mind, Michael was secretly genuinely having fun with Eleanor in these S1 scenes
I couldn t help but think that michael is like eleanors soulmate, more than chidi
I think they're platonic soulmates.🥰
@@RoseNoir90 maybe, if not such age difference and the fact that michael is...a demon...they would be romantic soulmates...idk...
Exactly what I thought 😭😭 Also, she decided to retire only after helping Michael become human so he can die eventually not after Chidi left
He is too old nah, chidi is conveniently attractive like elenar
@@OGrandomunknownperson disagree. Chidi isn t particulary attractive, there are many more attractive actors (and actresses than k.bell), while mr. Danson was very atractive in his prime, and still looks handsome for his age. (Of course,jason is the most attractive, so is tahani)
I need a best friend who I can be my absolute worst self with
just make him doctor who and be done with it
started sobbing to this video 😭
is it time for my yearly the good place rewatch
Came here for the chaos (the iced tea moment, whole ep for that matter, is one of my favourites of the series if not my favourite) but got reminded of their friendship and they almost brought me tears. It’s one of my favourite relationship dynamics ever
this is sooooo forking beautiful! ive never seen parallels compiled together so well! its remarkable

This took so long and it’s still not done cause I need to sleep so please just like
It's taken me this long to realize that the Minion should have been another dead giveaway that they were in The Bad Place.
OMG... "because the Machine says it's a prize" ... and with that, it all makes sense...
I mean Micheal is an ancient informed designer who lead designing The Good Place and various other punishments so when he says he really likes paper lips that isn’t just him being dumb and naïve, he just really likes paperclips. A lot of designers come to appreciate efficient aesthetic minimalism at some point even if it’s not their personal style. Standard paperclips do what they do with the bare minimum material and also effectively interlock.
2:10 kills me EVERY TIME
This is such an excellent compilation! What an awesome show!
not me crying from the supercut . . . you did a great job finding the parallels, awesome editing!!
I love the way you put these clips together!
This was so beautifully cut together! The parallels are amazing
this is so well edited, oh my god
❤ Thanks for this, it made me love The Good Place *more*... I'd forgotten some of the little touches that make this friendship so awesome
This is so well done, congrats
Amazing editing! This had way more effort behind it than I was expecting, really good work.
Wish I could watch this for the first time again soo good
Me love some parallels in the narrative.
THISNIS THE BEST EDIT I EVER SEE
oh this is Great it highlights so many parallels i never caught!!
excellent editing!
3 years later, he's finally coming back
Kristen's and Ted's camaraderie just flawlessly showed in their fictional characters too✨
Eleanor and I have a lot in common. Here's how you can tell us apart. One of us is a manipulative demon who's an expert at making other people miserable, and then the other one is me!
Is she a demon?
Or is she an Angel pulling the same scam on Michael because they were once BFFs before Michael and all other demons walked out of The Real Good Placeand got _their memories_ deleted of their past lives deleted?
I have not seen season four yet, but after the end of Season three,
But I wonder if the whole thing with Chidi's memory being erased and not knowing that he used to know Elanore....
Why couldn't that be done with Michael and other demons, as well?
Elanore (who's name means bright or warm light) could be pulling this on Michael because she wants him to become Good enough that he can return to being an Angel in the Good Place?
@@TheNoiseySpectator haha cool theory!
This is art. I have never seen the bit of them dancing at 2:01, and I LOVE it.
I love them so much :(
THEY ARE THEY'RE BESTIES FR
i wish i could watch it again for the first time.
Literally sobbing 😭🥰
I am dying this is so funny
They such an underrated duo
"youre my friend and i wanted to save you!" 😭😭😭😭😭 pls dont make me cry
These two were adorable I love them lol
Made me weep. 10/10
bro i miss the good place, especially because of their friendship
Omg the paperclip bracelet 🥹 I never noticed that. So cute
Tears. Real tears.
For some reason I didnt' expect this video to be so wholesome, but I should have.
Love this video! I ship this two so much! My one gripe with the finale is that they never had a real moment together before Michael became human and Eleanor went through the door.
At least they completed each others storylines; Eleanor made Michael human and that also allowed Eleanor to find peace. Platonic soulmates definitely.
I think the Homestuck fandom’s got you covered:
Eleanor ♦️Michael
There you go, it’s done, it’s official and absolutely beautiful :3
Oh Elener
2:09 lol
Iconic
Well that’s it! Now I’ll have to watch the whole show one more time 🤷🏽♀️
Eleanor's peaceful moment being when all of her friends were safe, happy, and ready to pass on/move on with their lives/afterlives is everything to me.
And the fact that Michael was the first one she met makes sense he would be the last one she needed to save!
the fuck why am i crying at a seven minute youtube compilation
Who wouldn't want a Cool Ranch Baby?
I never realized all the parallels
6:33 he solved the trolley problem
My favorite part was when they do the evil laugh together 😂
Because this is the bad place
…..
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
AWE MAN YOU FIGURES IT OUT!!
4:20 off topic but I love this specific Eleanor outfit
What ep do they do the evil laugh together
s4, e7!
I like that Michael's name is... well... Michael (duh).
Just a wild guess, but Michael could be based off of Archangel Michael. Archangel Michael is known to assist people in the hour of death, especially before Judgement Day (the day when souls are chosen to go to Heaven or Hell).
This show was damp near perfect. Any complaints I may have about it are really just nitpicks. Eleanor and Michael's friendship was the screw that kept everything together. And the ending scene...oh, that forking ending scene with Michael on Earth was probably my favorite moment from any live-action TV show. Holy shirt, I love this show.
Ted Danson saying Eleanor happily lives rent free in my head
They're Joey and Phoebe obvs. Eleanor is Joey double obvs
4:57 "oh eyeliner"
He might be an old white dude, but he’s kind of attractive.
He's the definition of a White Fox
Ted Danson is one good looking gentleman
Ted Danson aged really well.
Michael is the best demon. Since the actual creator of the show is also named Michael, I choose to believe that Michael the demon also created the show
if she hadn't been born a human, Eleanor would have made a very good demon employee in the Bad Place.
I’m gonna tell my kids this was Hazbin Hotel:
You just earned 1000 good place points for making such a heartwarming video of two manipulative demons lying about their identities that become besties. And lost 200 for capitalism side effects.
Friends like Ross and phoebe weird combo but okay.
How amazing would it be if stealing skee-ball tickets was actually a net positive in the point system.
