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.
This show is one of my favorites, some high level giggles and memorable moments.
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.
How is Pillboi a hacker in Brooklyn all of a sudden?! (Nine nine!)
Sorry, but the correct thing to say when he pops up in something else is, “Oh dip! Pillboi!”
I hope you rectify your behavior.
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.
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
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 …

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.
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.

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? :)
Is that woke “humour” I hear about?
Michael is trying to get Chidi to start a new hobby. He suggested Chidi try cartography, like Columbus. Janet is currently undergoing maintenance and is stuck in fun fact mode. The joke is that Janet is harshing the vibe and being a downer because she’s broken. It is funny.
Facts about one of the worst people in history, along with the jokey implication that he’s in hell, are so woke, aren’t they?
Clearly the non-woke thing would be to celebrate the guy who was so atrocious to the natives that even the Spanish royals were outraged and had him brought back to Spain in chains.
But hey, he “discovered America,” am I right? Ignoring the millions of people who already lived there at the time, along with the Vikings who got there 500 years before he did.

“Hitler is in hell.” Omg that’s hilarious. You so wise and witty and funny, what a clever connection you made in a humours way. No, that’s not a joke.
It’s woke because it isn’t a joke. It is some feel good sense woke people can go “Yea!” too and pat each other on the back.

No really no. I guess a non woke joke in this context would be more like “hey I’m dead, I can see me uncle!” “Umm… No he’s in a different place” “no that totally make senses, I can see that”.
It’s not a joke set purely on the premise of circle jerking some social justice statement that people pretend is constructed into a funny joke because people want to feel like they are on the right side. But it does change the pace and direction, which is how a lot of jokes are constructed.
I don’t mind dark jokes and I don’t mind clean jokes. A woke joke isn’t about being funny it’s about commended for having the right view.

There could be a joke in there but it wouldn’t be a good one.
Just to be clear the additional context someone else added means that joke could have had humour in it.
Interesting that your real issue here is about “wokeness” and not people enjoying the idea of one of the greatest monsters in history getting what he deserves.
I’m guessing I know what you think about what “place” Columbus should have ended up in.
Who is that? She looks like that crazy jewish chick that was following Trump around for a while lol.
