Honestly the dumbest person on earth figuring out your mastermind plan can be deeply hurtful. And the disappointment on Michael's face just shows it flawlessly.
Think of it as the best laid plan being solved by a five year old. Usually a sign that you overprepared and probably need to lie down for a bit and get your priorities straight.
I mean, maybe if I'd been following along, but I heard someone say "The Good Place has a mindblowing twist," and well... yeah, if you know there's a twist, you already know what it is.
Yeah, it was conceived, plotted and executed perfectly. Really catches both the characters and you off-guard and makes the story far richer. It's the best type of twist.
@@TheDamnBeast It actually caught the actors off guard cause the only ones who knew about this before they received the script for the season 1 finale was Kristen and Ted
When I watched this live I said to myself "I can't believe Eleanor just said that! How stupid for all this build up she took us on." Then when Michael came up with that diabolical laugh, I questioned everything 😂
Yeah I wish I could experience my amazement when I first watched again, I was so caught of guard (like everyone) and that moment was definition of WTF is happening :D :D :D and I was so upset when my friend explained this tv show to my other friend and spoiled this, fortunately the other friend did not want to watch it, so it was not spoiled for her, but imagine that someone would spoil this moment for you, that would be torture. Honestly I cannot believe they did this plot twist at the end of the season, usually the plot twist is shown in pilot, in worse case scenario in trailer...
ATTEMPT 108 "Eleanor always realizes this is the bad place-" "Sorry door was open, are we in the bad place?" ATTEMPT 109 "I locked the door." 'Checks' "Yup."
The fact that Chidi is a literal professor but couldn't figure it out and Eleanor just kept figuring it out over and over. Hell even Jason. Moral of the story, always believe you belong in hell😂
I think the difference isn’t book smarts insofar as Eleanor was naturally cynical and like Jason, always knew she wasn’t supposed to be in The Good Place. From there, the conclusion that she actually has been in The Bad Place this whole time is easier to get to than Chidi and Tahani who have every reason to believe they belong in the Good Place and Eleanor and Jason being weird mistakes. But Eleanor had reason to suspect the afterlife from the very moment she got there
Everything Janet knows abt Eleanor is bullsh*t. Her profile is a torture device that says she loves things she can't stand. Lol! They made her favorite meal fasting. Every1 is enjoying their favorite meal and u can't eat anything! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'd still choose it over Jason's sponge! 🤣🤣🤣
Have you listened to the podcast? It's hosted by Mark Evan Jackson (who plays Shawn) and he interviews cast and crew and it's a great companion piece to rewatch the entire show.
Sorry to ask, but I've not watched the series and I'm curious. Why do they laugh together in the last one? Did Eleanor join his side? Is it a good thing?
I just realized that the solution to the whole afterlife mess in the final season hinged l on the idea that when you reset someone they don't fully reset and their lessons stick with them and nowhere is that clearer than Eleanor (and Jason) catching on quicker and quicker through each rendition.
They also explicitly say when they’re explaining the new system that the lessons someone learns from the previous attempts stick with them in the form of their conscious, like a little voice in their head.
Nothing in the show suggested that they remembered a little from each reset. The vague memory thing was introduced to solve the problem of how to get people into the good place in season 4.
@@burgersurplus I mean granted we don't keep track of how quickly they figure it out on each reset but it is weird that Eleanor figures it out every single time eventually. If she truly was getting reset each time then eventually Micheal would find the right combination of events to get the result he was looking for. While it isn't brought up to till season 4 I think the only logical conclusion is that the reset isn't a complete reset. Something must stick with them.
@@alexblake5369 I don't think so. Michael just gets desperate and starts piling issues on top of each other. He slowly sinks into a mess and his staff is getting less and less 'supportive' towards him causing more and more issues to the point where they don't even care openly removing their human suit or smoking outside. so even without remembering anything the system gets more and more broken down which allows the Arizona dirtbag :) to find the answer all the time - she is always expecting the worst from everyone, so for her to jump the conclusion is not that difficult. She does not trust anyone (except perhaps Chidi) so when she looks for an answer that is what the heck is going on, she finds the right answer. The answer to all the issues is to retain some memory after each reset, Chidi points it out at one of the occasions when they are at the medium place that this is an epistemological nightmare that they are being constantly rebooted without the chance to learn from the earlier mistakes / lessons - so they are always starting from scratch, while Michael supposed to be building the knowledge about the humans to get better at torturing them. (but he fails regardless, thanks to the demons constantly rebelling to the point where Vicky 'takes over') sorry for the long answer 4 months later :)
Eleanor standing in a field of cactii with a bunch of balloons saying "this is the bad place" is so underrated. Of course balloons and cactii don't mix. Even the pitch of her voice makes it seem so obvious.
For me it's Chidi running across the field shouting, " Bees! Bees!" The physical humor is perfect, not least because it is exactly the kind of thing real people laugh about when it happens to someone else!
@@chrissalazarm indeed that was a fucking awesome moment but the way the whole season of the good place was set up and Michael's truly horrifying laugh as the 4 stood in disbelief was something i have never seen.
I had it spoiled (and also had previously read No Exit, so I had an idea what was going on the instant Eleanor's house showed up), but it was still an incredible twist to watch happen
2:48 - Michael is like, "What is Eleanor about say? She doesn't think this is the bad place again, right?" 5:15 - And then thinks, "No way Jason is going to say this is really the bad place, right?"
I recently finished The Good Place and I think this is the first of many compilations and related videos from the show I'm gonna watch. The last season was so different from what I thought it was going to be, and that last episode just... changes you.
I was genuinely surprised at how lovely the final episode was. It was very bittersweet, but also hopeful and captures the human experience beautifully. I don't think a sitcom has ever made me feel so understood.
@@oliviarettberg7173 that’s the first thing i thought! and at that point she’d been rebooted so much that she would probably be capable of missing people and having to take almost everyone she bonded with to the next life was really sad🙁
@@darknight0dc yes exactly. the show is such a masterpiece. incredible actors, the writing is funny but has realistic, human love stories, moments that tug on your heart strings but makes u laugh every episode. it’s so so so good
Well I think that was just part of a compilation in probably season 2 when it was obvious to the audience it was the bad place so not like the writers had to try and hide it
This show absolutely made me take a new look at Ted Danson as an actor. Not that I ever thought he was bad at it, I just never thought he was great. But that laugh -- that laugh is positively demonic!
The original "this is the bad place" was a great twist/ reveal. I had 0 idea it was coming. For something that on reflection/ 2nd watch was so obvious, I was oblivious. The show did a great job of not leaving a trail of breadcrumbs for a first time viewer. Not many reveals like that have been done so well. The first series is an underrated masterpiece in my eyes. Amazing writing and storytelling
The last one... the fact that Eleanor (and Michael) made the choice to go with that reaction to Chidi figuring out that was the bad place is the best thing.
the bit at 0:24 where eleanor realises how shitty the situation she's in is is absolutely the best her expression is just >>> and in true eleanor fashion she covers it up a second later
Bortles!! I'm not into sports and thought he was a made up character for the show, but when I heard he signed with the Green bay packers of my state I yelled his name like Jason.
Michael is like a sims player who made a custom neighborhood but instead of removing pool ladders and locking sims in rooms with burning ovens he prefers creating intricate emotional torture.
@@haddy106 I did the pool ladder, burning oven, just removing the door and leaving them to their fate but I never caused emotional pain. They got too whiney when I tried
I love the discrepancy between when she first figures it out and subsequent times. It’s a great way of writing it because it could have gotten stale. That first evil laugh, and then him depressingly drunk and over eating
This show was brilliant. It did not treat the audience as stupid and continued to surprise . The first reveal that it was the bad place shocked me, but the clues were really there.
No matter how many times I see it, Chidi running through the field yelling, *"Bees! Bees! Bees! BEES!"* cracks me up and makes me laugh hysterically every time. *The Good Place* was such a phenomenal show!
My favorite part directly after this is when Chidi is trying to figure out why he's there and he says "well there's something you don't know about me." And Eleanor's eyes go absolutely massive and you know she thinking " wait a minute, is Chidi a serial killer. Have been completely fooled."
That first reveal and Michael's laugh gave me chills when I watched the first time. I wish I could experience that again. No show or movie have ever come close in making me feel that way with a plot twist.
One of the greatest shows of all time. This montage gives me a laugh every time I need it. During the pandemic (I’m an ER nurse) and during the worst parts of my shifts, I would just think “oh THIS is the bad place!” and it would give me a boost to be going.
These are all so iconic but Eleanor Shellstrop saying "holy motherforking shirtballs" will always be my favourite thing. I say the same phrase every time I realise something and it always garners the most confused expressions from other people
I feel like Chidi realised they were in the bad place in episode 1 to 3 but couldn’t figure out how to tell everyone/ didn’t so the rest of their afterlife would be ruined
4:21 Eleanor: This is the bad place Chidi * figthing with the pig: The pig is getting angry 4:23 Eleanor: This is the bad place*again* Chidi *while being persecueted by bees*: Bees Bees can this poor guy can get a rest
2:02 lol 4:15 When a new student enters high school and reliazes on the last day of school "this is the bad place!" 4:27 causally says OH THIS IS THE BAD PLACE just because you know
I hope at least once in my life I'm blessed with the opportunity to have the steel balls confidence Eleanor has at 1:00. To stare someone down and say try me
She's too vain and self-absorbed. She thinks she absolutely deserves to be in the Good Place, she's Tahani fucking Al-Jamil. Similar to the guy in the last clip, who thought he was getting to the Best Place.
@@WillowJordan1979 Yet over the show she did get better as a person.. I just think she never had a chance because she changed more long after she would of been in a position to figure it out
Probably. There have been 803 attempts on the original neighborhood. It just wouldn't be as good of a joke showing her figuring it out as it was with Jason.
Of all of them, she'd be the least likely to suspect that she wasn't in the good place. Chidi really tried to be good and concerned with ethics when he was alive so he had less of a reason to doubt it, and Jason is just not very observant. It really says something about Eleanor with her being the one to figure it out most of the time, that she's both cynical and observant. She could have been totally wrong about them being in the bad place, but she's defiant enough to challenge authority (since she's had little respect for authority figures from a young age) and enough knowledge of philosophy and ethics to realize that things don't add up.
I recommended this show to someone in seminary and when they watched S1 finale he and his wife texted me like "what?!?! This is the bad place?!" They LOVED it
Ironically, Michael was being tortured for centuries as well. Throughout the struggle, he learned his notion of humanity could be wrong and finally retrieved himself with the help of humans. What a decent character-building it is!
You know what? Having to constantly go through the same motion of finding out you're in hell and then have your mind erased for it to repeat for all eternity all the while never realizing what's happening is pretty good torture in my book.
Well he's used to torturing humans beyond imaginable limits, it's very likely he just has a problem with figuring out what amount of torture a human can endure before questioning it.

Holy motherforking shirtballs
The absolute defeated look on Michael's face when Jason got it right is so hilarious
Never gets old
😂
Not even angry just defeated
This is a real low point. Yeah this one hurts.
That is my favorite scene in the entire show 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Michael’s laugh when Eleanor figures out they’re already in the Bad Place the first time, is positively creepy.
IKR!
It’s really scary.
I'm having nightmares tonight
I totally didn't see it coming and it was like a punch in the gut.
He really played it well, great acting
Eleanor just shouting "this is the bad place" while dressed in monks robes will never not be funny
...kinda want to do that as a group cosplay at comicon....once there IS a Comicon again i mean
Arms dropping and everything.
@@WardNightstone omg yes. That would be be great.

And her scathing "Oh, no best place?"
What a show! The best shows, especially sitcoms, end at exactly the right time.

Just finishee the show. Great show ✌✌
If your master plan is solved by Jason, anyone would start to rethink their decisions in life

Yeah, there's a line in the Evil Overlord guide about that very issue...:P
The very first time Eleanor figured it out and Michael’s reaction to it was so genuinely creepy and unexpected 😅😩
I had nightmares
And the 2nd time at season 4, when Eleanor joined in with the laugh.
Literally my jaw DROPPED
i remember getting so upset and down because i loved him sm
I mean, maybe if I'd been following along, but I heard someone say "The Good Place has a mindblowing twist," and well... yeah, if you know there's a twist, you already know what it is.
"Im to young to die and to old to eat off the kids menu what a stupid age i am" -jason
Wait, he was already dead then
Still a great quote though
@@oliviarettberg7173 that’s the joke
Jason would eat off the kids menu anyways and complain when he didn't get a toy
I feel this deeply. 19 is a dumb age, get me my chicken nuggets.

Alright so we gunna go into the moral philosophy of how to be nice to everyone then

Not a sitcom. Also those "better than any Hollywood movie" jokes are getting really tiresome.

Also 2021, just sayin'...
@@angelica8000 that's why the Judge wanted to restart it
4:27 as someone who’s affraid of clowns, this one always gets me
well, if you go to the bad place, fake eleanor's house is yours!
That one always gets me. XD
Sean's expression at 1:35. Bewilderment with a hint of fear of Eleanor.
I love how kids movie villainy Michael's laugh is on the first time Eleanor figures it out.
Easily one of the best plot twists in the last 10 years of TV.
The one where Jason got it right always gets to me.
One of the greatest shows of all time. This montage gives me a laugh every time I need it. During the pandemic (I’m an ER nurse) and during the worst parts of my shifts, I would just think “oh THIS is the bad place!” and it would give me a boost to be going.
I didn't know that the original voice of Eleanor was so sweet, I think that it makes funnier her attempts to blame/saying bad words.
I like Michael saying “never change” at the end when inside he’s probably saying “CHANGE!!! For the love of all that’s good, CHANGE IMMEDIATELY!”
BAHAHA THIS XD
Michael’s face when Jason figured it out is priceless 😂
“Jason figured it out? JASON?!” Gets me every time
"I'm headed to the gym" gets me every time 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭
A consistently proper tv show with a good ending.
This is a rare thing.
“BUZZ OFF BAMBADJAN” on of the best lines in television history
One of the best shows ever - just a great ensemble cast and wonderful writers.
Michael's utter shock and disappointment at Jason figuring it out is the best
holding his stomach in shame, it musta really stung
Michael really said "hell is other people" and was right lmao
If I could have any show wiped from my memory so I could experience it for the first time again, it would be this show
You know why Eleanor always figures it out? It's because she believes nothing good happens to her deep down. Which is really sad.
“This is a real low point… yeah this one hurts” I laughed so hard when I heard this the first time😂
These are all so iconic but Eleanor Shellstrop saying "holy motherforking shirtballs" will always be my favourite thing. I say the same phrase every time I realise something and it always garners the most confused expressions from other people
I feel like Chidi realised they were in the bad place in episode 1 to 3 but couldn’t figure out how to tell everyone/ didn’t so the rest of their afterlife would be ruined
Nah, it had to be a fleeting thought based on his reaction when Eleanor actually says it out loud.
@@Diva380 it was in the back of his mind maybe, or he was shocked that someone else had figured it out ?
You're wrong. Stop trying to make Chidi seem omniscient just because he's black and you like his body
@@SirPunzalotW H A T 😭
-- "this is the bad place"
"the pig's getting angry"
-- "this is the bad place"
"bees bees bees"
4:22 I’m sorry chidis shaky voice gets me every time
"It doesn't matter, this one doesn't even count" this was peak Michael 🤣
4:21
Eleanor: This is the bad place
Chidi * figthing with the pig: The pig is getting angry
4:23
Eleanor: This is the bad place*again*
Chidi *while being persecueted by bees*: Bees Bees
can this poor guy can get a rest
The poor guy has had to put up with so much😂
The poor guy gets to get with Eleanor in most of the versions so he does get one hell of a forking break...
Don’t forget the time when he got trapped in the purple bubble in that one reboot 😂
You can see it on Michael's face when Jason starts figuring it out, he's just like "No...no...NO!"
2:02 lol
4:15 When a new student enters high school and reliazes on the last day of school "this is the bad place!"
4:27 causally says OH THIS IS THE BAD PLACE just because you know
It's always so funny when Jason figures it out.
I hope at least once in my life I'm blessed with the opportunity to have the steel balls confidence Eleanor has at 1:00. To stare someone down and say try me
Tahani is the only one of the original four to not figure it out
She's too vain and self-absorbed. She thinks she absolutely deserves to be in the Good Place, she's Tahani fucking Al-Jamil. Similar to the guy in the last clip, who thought he was getting to the Best Place.
@@WillowJordan1979 😲
@@WillowJordan1979 Yet over the show she did get better as a person.. I just think she never had a chance because she changed more long after she would of been in a position to figure it out
Probably. There have been 803 attempts on the original neighborhood. It just wouldn't be as good of a joke showing her figuring it out as it was with Jason.
Of all of them, she'd be the least likely to suspect that she wasn't in the good place. Chidi really tried to be good and concerned with ethics when he was alive so he had less of a reason to doubt it, and Jason is just not very observant. It really says something about Eleanor with her being the one to figure it out most of the time, that she's both cynical and observant. She could have been totally wrong about them being in the bad place, but she's defiant enough to challenge authority (since she's had little respect for authority figures from a young age) and enough knowledge of philosophy and ethics to realize that things don't add up.
I recommended this show to someone in seminary and when they watched S1 finale he and his wife texted me like "what?!?! This is the bad place?!" They LOVED it
Ironically, Michael was being tortured for centuries as well. Throughout the struggle, he learned his notion of humanity could be wrong and finally retrieved himself with the help of humans. What a decent character-building it is!
Big dad-daughter energy from Michael and Eleanor at the end
JaSoN figured it out!? Yea this one hurts 5:31
The laugh is good and all but the “sure, why not” has me cackling
"excuse me you wish you could have a bite of this pear" bicon
it’s the “i’m Eleanor im so smart we’re actually in the bad place blah blah blah” for me🤣🤣😭
and “this is the bad place i forking knew it”😭😭😭
5:37 might be one of the funniest moments in this whole series
2:06 TELEANOR FOR LIFE 🥺🥰😭❤
IN STAN TELEANOR
I love the 'hey I got it right' look on Jason's face when he figures it out. Like a little kid that found his parent's secret snack stash lol.
You know what? Having to constantly go through the same motion of finding out you're in hell and then have your mind erased for it to repeat for all eternity all the while never realizing what's happening is pretty good torture in my book.
when Jason got it must of hurt
@@spaceballs44 I mean, he literally says "ow", so yes, lol...
still one of the best tv shows of all time
Did Michael really expect eleanor to sit there for three hours and listen to spoken word jazz? No human would try to keep a cover for that long
Well he's used to torturing humans beyond imaginable limits, it's very likely he just has a problem with figuring out what amount of torture a human can endure before questioning it.
