Michael also told her she was in the Good Place. Everything Michael said before the reveal should be assumed to be a lie.

I wanna believe it's true just because Jason successfully guessed they were on a prank show.

Janet reminds me of all those cell phone/car insurance commercials with the super helpful woman, which is probably intentional, but I also could have sworn that the literal actress playing Janet was IN some commercial like that and I can't find it and ahhhhh it's driving me sideways.

The actress did a bunch of background extra gigs for Funny or Die so you might recognize hr from there.

I never thought The Medium Place was a ruse anyway, so it's good to see that Schur confirmed it. It was interesting to see that only Bell and Danson knew from the start about the twist.

Guessing that the big clue for how pizza will be handled is in that restaurant episode. It won't be the pizza they actually want, but what the "real" versions of Eleanor and Jason want. For Tahani and Chidi, it'll be what they're supposed to like based on their ideas of themselves (probably something pretentious and super "ethical" like soy cheese) even though what they would actually like is a meat lover's. And everyone around them will have the pizzas that the main four will be craving.

Pineapple with Canadian bacon or pepperoni is a party in your mouth, to which all the pizza ingredients are invited. I think the idea of fruit on a pizza (besides the tomato, and sometimes olives, eggplants and bell peppers :eng101:) is more disturbing to some people than the execution.

Now, anchovies, on the other hand... eating bones and brains and poo poo is a Bad Place thing for sure.

drat, Michael is brilliant at this.

The subtle torture isn't fruit on Pizza at all. It's the tedious, neverending debates that will result.

Season 3: Hot Dog & Sandwich shops, lining up constant arguments about condiments, and if the categorization is redundant.

Season 4: In the greatest longterm troll NBC has ever attempted, every food/drinking establishment is named The Local. TVIV implodes as we all realize that we were in the bad place all along.

Pineapple is ok on pizza but is has to be paired with something particularly salty or spicy because most pizza sauce is sweet af. Also a lot of people hate it because 95% of places that offer pineapple use syrupy canned pineapple and don't bother to grill or roast it

I feel like there's been this massive backlash against pineapple on pizza lately. My entire life Hawaiian Pizza has been a mainstay, 'normal' pizza. Probably second most common after pepperoni. How did the backlash start?

What if I think both are equally important? It's the main challenge of finding a good pizza place. One will have a good selection and distribution of toppings, but the bread's sub-par. Another will have great bread, but their Capricciosa has a total of three whole olives and is 90% mushroom.

For a long time, "normal" people thought that pinapple on pizza was some rare abomination that no one really, actually like outside of some weird hosed up freaks. But because of social media, they have realized that those people do exist and are serious about the qualities of pineapple on pizza. Horrified, the "normal" people are spurred to vocalize their disgust as their way of life is threatened.

Hell is boring people endlessly arguing about their arbitrary and meaningless culinary preferences, forever. You try and get away from the pizza shop where people are bickering about pineapple and you wind up at the sandwich store where the insufferable debate of whether or not a hotdog is a sandwich is further compounded by a particularly fat and unlikable dork bloviating about exactly what hot dog toppings are acceptable. With a knowing smile, Michael recommends ketchup as he walks by.

Hawaiian pizza has ALWAYS been divisive, I don't know what planet you're living on.

but I'm sure it's deeper than "ONLY HAWAIIAN". Unless it's all pizzas, and you can't get a simple cheese pizza. So you order a sausage/olive, and you get a sausage/olive/pineapple. You order a margherita pizza, you get one that also has pineapple. You order a pizza with pesto sauce, and there's the pineapple. It's in the strombolis. The calzones. THE PIZZA BAGELS.
