I may have been drinking. Maybe it's time for a rewatch.

I'm fairly sure the show views these characters flaws as serious issues. It's not sympathetic to Chidi having an anxiety disorder, it's making a joke of it and arguing he's a bad person because of it.

I'm wondering if there will be a plot point where the Bad Place was originally intended to rehabilitate not-perfect humans but the place slowly turned away from character-improvement but kept the torture (something something demons being incapable of understanding how humans work). double nine fucked around with this message at 01:16 on Jan 29, 2018 |

I mean like well known in terms of references. I know it did well at the box office but that and "it's a female version of The Hangover" is literally all I have ever heard about it pop-culture wise. I'll take your word for it that it is well referenced and I'm just out of touch with the kids these days though.

The Good Place is reserved only for the best of the very best, it is not meant to be fair. You could also argue that Jason is too dumb to be responsible for his actions, and that Eleanor and Tahani’s parents were responsible for screwing them up. Ultimately it doesn’t matter since the whole point of the show is how unfair the system in the afterlife is.

NBC had a midseason preview program in the Carson Daly slot on Friday night, and there was a brief Good Place recap and briefer preview of the finale. I recorded it but someone got a cam of it uploaded so that’s good enough https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBPoc_ZWcC4 It’s obviously spoiler-ish, but suffice to say, they’re directly addressing the systemic problem of improper placement

Kristen Wiig made A-list off that movie, and as others said, it was the beginning of the end of the moronic "are women funny?" debate. It was a huge movie, and is considered to have opened the door for women to join in on '"gross-out" humor thanks to that food poisoning scene.

My problem with Bridesmaids is the trailer painted it as an ensemble piece, when it actually focuses on Wiig's character, who is the least likable of the group

The thing is with Chidi is he doesn't have complete option paralysis, otherwise he couldn't even figure out what to wear in the morning. He only has it where his actions impact other people. Not saying that makes him any less mentally ill, but it's a distinction.

He spends an enormous amount of time and effort considering what he imagines the needs of others probably are, but never makes an effort to see what other people's needs actually are. He's the kind of guy who thinks he's being extremely considerate by making sure to serve you almond milk, buy you the right color hat, and book the perfect venue for your bachelor party, while failing to notice the 5 extremely obvious problems you really need his help with.
