ABOUT THE GOOD PLACE
From creator Michael Schur (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “Parks and Recreation” and “Master of None”) comes a unique comedy about what makes a good person. The show follows Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell, “House of Lies,” “Veronica Mars”), an ordinary woman who enters the afterlife, and thanks to some kind of error, is sent to the Good Place instead of the Bad Place (which is definitely where she belongs). While hiding in plain sight from Good Place Architect Michael (Ted Danson - “Cheers,” “CSI” - in an Emmy Award-nominated performance), she’s determined to shed her old way of living and earn her spot.

Eleanor: “I’m trash.”
Micheal: “As someone who cares about the environment, I’m here to pick you up and turn you into something better.”
I will willingly turn you into a park bench or 2/3 of a coffee cup.
Best comment ever.
No show can pull off funny, and serious like The Good Place can.
SyrioHghar88 What about Johnny Bravo?
@@MiNombreEsElCamaron I stand by what I said.
Brooklyn99
@@berealvarez6346 B99 does bring up some very serious topics, but not that often. The main reason I put the good place above it in this case is bc the whole series has a pretty serious theme. Morality, righ, wrong, and the human condition. And comedy all along the way.
Don't misunderstand me, B99 is hilarious, and covers sexuality, and prejudices a few times. I'm just thinking about the shows as a whole.
Fraggle Rock
“We have to try?”
“I mean what do we have to lose?”
Both are Elenor quotes. Take your own advice.
I think thats the point, shes doubting herself
There is wayyyy to much to lose this time thought. It's the fate of afterlife humanity now instead of just 4 people.

"You beat me in three months..."
THE DELIVERY OF THAT LINE
Its that pure bluntness that Eleanor needed to be told "Hey, you're better than this" when she didn't want to hear it
The fact that Michael is quietly letting Eleanor talk in the beginning, just looking at her...makes you realize how far he's come to understand humans more than he gives himself credit for
My favorite thing about this clip is that while Eleanor is ranting about her being “a girl from Arizona,” the sign behind her says “this was your life.” Maybe I’m digging too deep but I think it’s pretty cool if that’s the universes way of telling her that she is worthy now despite what she did before
Karen Chang holy crap I love that! Great find!
Writers do little things like this all the time you’re defo not reading into it, awesome you found it! 😁
I'm already crying great observation!
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LEAVING A COMMENT ON WHAT YOU FOUND
Michael Shur wrote this so I’m 1000% that was on purpose
It's OK to cry... but you're still gonna have to pay for that plunger.
Jason certainly had to pay for HIS plunger tonight.
You can cry all you want*
Eleanor being a normal person from anywhere represents that any normal person can make a difference to the world
No shes a normal girl from Arizona.
I was gonna make a joke out of it but then I realized theres nothing really weird about Arizona-
Michael's genuine kindness is a beautiful thing to see. I would argue that it's a miracle of sorts that Eleanor has helped to bring about. That's the kind of miracle I can believe in - not raising the dead or parting the water, but the simple power of one person to touch and transform another just by virtue of being in their life.
It's basically a love/compassion-based miracle, rather than a (super)power-based miracle. 🙂
I mean a literal demon being kind is a sort of miracle
She genuinely deserves an Emmy nomination. Shes fantastic
“maybe the only one who can save humanity is a girl from arizona” my heart can’t deal with this
OMG I read this at the same time the video played it!
It's cute that, in her afterlife, she got what she never had: a parent who cared for her 🥰
Can Ted Danson come give me a pep talk?
westrim he can give you a Ted talk 🙃
Danielle Lumbis eyyyy🤣
I think we all need a pep talk from Ted Danson
Can I have one two?
How Michael looked at Eleanor at 0:55 feels like
"she did not realize that her being a normal human who have gone through many hardship is the reason she's the answer"
She knows What's it like to be a bad human and she know why she does what she does. This is a perfect scene
Michael: "Human beings, it turns out, are weird. *And I will never truly understand what it's like to be one.*
This sure hits different after seeing the end.
The more times I watch this, the more profound it gets. Eleanor is all of us.
Eleanor: I'm trash 😭
Michael: True, but you still have a job to do.
That tough love tho. 💙
Ye. I like my friends how I like my coffee, not lying to my face.
Eleanor in a suit tho...
Honestly i loved the scenes whare Elinor pretended to be an architect during this season. i would pay good money to watch a spin-off set in an alternate universe whare Elinor was born as an architect and not a human and is actually running a neighborhood
@@b.d6642 and michael was one of the four original subjects (oof im late)
@@b.d6642 same, I wish there was more of it, it was so enjoyable and she plays the role so well. Especially with how she and Ted Danson play off eachother
I just realised... Eleanor is basically The Good Place's version of Jesus. She went through years of suffering to finally save the humanity and open the gates of heaven for the people again.
A hot, blonde Jesus Christ
@@IuriMrs i agree, a jesus-like figure, but don't sexualize Jesus (lol, what Michael would say)
@@lyric939 I hate to say this cos it's gonna send me to the bad place, but internet rule 34.
Iuri I-
@@cautiouslyhopeful I hate to say this... you would have ended up in the bad place, if you didn't say it
I just love the metaphor that they're standing in the ruins of a game show while the experiment seems hopeless
That’s true. About you making lots of mistakes. Not the thing where you sexualized a cartoon.
But the part of the cartoon isn't totally wrong either
OMG, I just finished the second episode and I died when Brent started naming his friends and I realized his whole character is supposed to be based on Kavanaugh even the names are similar! Genius.
That's a hell of a motivational speech
I think this is my favorite scene in all of the good place. The acting (especially on Miss Bell's part) is perfect, and the entire series seems to build up to this moment; everything Eleanor has gone through, struggling to become a better person, to ultimately make a 100% selfless decision to keep trying to save humanity in spite of not knowing the outcome. Wish I could watch it again for the first time. Thank you to the writers and cast for creating this. One of the best shows ever made.
Anyone else come back to this clip when they need a little pep talk? lol I mean damn Ted Danson is good.
Ele-ner (after watching the clip where Ted realize he’s been saying her name wrong the whole time)
EPIC foreshadowing starting at 1:45. Really gonna miss this show!
He’s the father she never had. I absolutely love their relationship.
Let me just say, this scene was SO good
Sometimes being the simplest person can turn into something better in the future. You just gotta wait and make your mark when it happens
So much emotion in her acting, made me tear up regardless of context
Sounds like the meltdown I had as a first year teaching. Shout out to all the teachers out there who had the same breakdown.
What occurred to me watching this scene was that somewhere in 1982, while Ted Danson was playing Sam Malone on Cheers, there was a two-year-old Kristen Bell stumbling around a living room and possibly staring at Danson on the TV screen. In 1993, a 12-year-old Bell possibly watched the series finale of Cheers. I bet the last thing on her mind was, "I'll be working with him in 23 years."
Michael was in her place not so long ago.
David Gonzalez it was like 1000 years ago I think-
Terrifical or maybe it’s a 1000 years in the future? 🤔 Jeremy Bearimy confuses me. lol.
Obscure_Bajan maybe it’s the dot in the i. That... that broke me
But he's not human so that's why he failed.
Obscure_Bajan jeremy bearimy is just a non ending loop
I can’t have enough of this show
This scene always makes me tear up because its so human and how far she's come in the course of the series. Real character development for both of them and a real genuine moment
Scenes like these make me think twice about the suggestion that this isn't Michael, but one of the Bad Place guys in a Michael suit. I'm going to be guessing until the end of the season, and FORK, THIS SHOW IS GOOD, I'M NOT READY TO SAY GOODBYE.
We’ll probably get the answer in episode 4 seeing how it’s called Tinker Tailor Demon Spy
I don't know about that theory. The obvious place for a potential switch would have been on the train, but it falls apart for me because Janet followed him onto that train. There's no way Janet would not noticed the switch.
People are saying it’s a bad Janet disguised as Janet but a bad Janet can’t act nice or they melt unless it’s another good Janet Who they’ve made to act like the regular Janet
Mr Critical couldn't good Janet not act bad... until she could? Anyway, at this point it's solved lol
Wow so yes micheal is micheal here
janet is bad janet here because she was reset 2 million times by shawn so that she could act nicely. and yes the switch was made on the train
which the bad place demon took marblelized janet to torture her.
0:52 HEY! THAT'S THE NAME OF THIS EPISODE!
The 2 episodes. Part 1 and 2
Oh this show was such a special shining moment in television. There will never be another show like this.
The Ted Talk we ALL need right now!!!
DAMN tgp yt fifteen minutes after the scene aired live??? i'm impressed
this is one of my favorite moments in the whole show. shows how human she is and the fact that “human” is imperfect.
"May the 1001st idea will work" - The Thomas Edison approach to saving humanity!
"Human beings are, as it turns out, *weird* "
''..and i will never truly understand how it's like to be one'' :)
The girl from arizona episodes were amazing. Some of the best in the show. Plus Eleanor's character growth was amazing. ❤
Great no “good” episode loved it. Although it felt a bit short.
im not ready to say goodbye to these 2 at the end of the season🤧🤧
Every now and then, I watch this clip to remember it's okay to feel lost, that it's valid to worry, but that through it all, you are only a failure once you stop trying
Only the good place can tell you a joke yet somehow still make you cry
I use this clip as therapy
If these two don't get an award for this scene alone then I will forking lose it
1:15 that little crack in her voice & facial expression was just perfect how was she not emmy nominated for this
I'm so FORKING mad they're stopping the show after 4 seasons.
krissy crossway WHATTTT???!
@@ellatucker5069 yes sadly this new season will be the last :(
krissy crossway They always kill off the best shows early on 😞
cat lover Oooh well that’s good then- still a bit sad but at least it will have a good ending
As sad as I am that the show is ending, this was 100% the creative team's decision. They decided to give the show a definitive beginning middle and end. A complete story from beginning to finish rather than deciding to drag out the premise perpetually until it gets worn out. And the show is much more tightly written and better paced as a result.
What was that quote from Blade Runner? A candle that burns twice as bright lasts half as long?
Imagine the points that is being calculated is actually them not the four new one.
I think so.
I think all of the Test-Humans, are Demons in Suits.
@@carealoo744 That can't be true as there's a canon series on The Good Place TH-cam channel where the demons select who the test subjects are gonna be.
Here's the first episode if you're interested:
th-cam.com/video/_DZcLh9c1_s/w-d-xo.html
Real inspiration here: Humanity didn't need a zealot, nor a monk who spent 50 years contemplating reality. They needed someone who fought in life's trenches and was willing to go back in after everyone else.
I literally just finished watching this episode 😁🙂I love this show so much
Man michael has become such a great person
this scene is really good because it actually shows and makes us realize that these 4 humans are, in fact, one of the most important humans in the universe.
I love you Michael Schur, thankyou for this amazing journey. Also, my country doesnt have NBC and season 4 cant be watched 😥😥
I LOVE THE GOOD PLACE :)
btw great monologue
The acting in this scene is just... unreal. I mean, I knew that Ted Danson was a hell of an actor, but Kristen Bell is just amazing here.
"Human beings are weird. I will never truly understand what its like to be one." And yet at the end he is one of the only afterlife beings who ever will. God this shows writing is phenomenal
Elenor is the savior. I like the way this story turned.
I Hope The Judge is put under The: 'Point-System.'
She's no better than any human, and she's actually a lot worse than quite a few of them.
She has infinite Free-Time, with even: 'The Jerimy-Berimy,' Timeline, on her side, and she doesn't use it other than to binge T.V. Shows.
There's no way, she'd get into: 'The Good-Place.'
Is she in the good place? Isn't she in a void?
IDK, the other beings don't really have "free will" in a traditional sense. The Judge, the Demons, the Accountants, the Doorman and the Angels are all made with a singular purpose in mind. The only reason our Janet and Micheal are different is because they both went through countless time lines interacting with Humans that still had some form of will. Plus the Judge does know she is screwed when it comes to the Point System. She went down to Earth and realized how convoluted
it is.
@@DavidDaliva she's in a neutral zone where the janet warehouses are
@@saintbrodee8021 I just find it very strange though, that not only is the System convoluted, but she would probably not get in, Anyway.
She's constantly teasing Eleanor about Chidi.
Not to mention, She's crushing on Chidi, despite she Knows that there's a Good-Chance, he'll end up tortured forever, by a System, She Herself Approves Of.
Not to mention, isn't the entire purpose of hell, supposed to be torturing People, for the pain they caused Others?
Well... That makes The Judge the more hypocritical Thing, in the entire universe, doesn't it? She's allowing a system, where Billions of People, are experiencing the highest-level of pain, imaginable, while she binges T.V. Shows, flirting with Chidi, and teasing Eleanor, not thinking for a Second, about what she's actually doing.
The more I think about it, the more I realize The Judge isn't just a jerk.
She's actually Evil.
@@carealoo744 Tbf, that isn't "evil" more like "functionally neutral".
The way she did beat him exactly 800 times since Jason figured it out once and on the 802nd run he joined them.... this script was made with so much attention to detail.
My favorite part about all these heartfelt scenes is the shrimp flying across the screen at the end
Incredible acting!
This is such an underrated show ❤️
"Because people are weird"
Yeah, they have so many emotions as well, they only need two: confused and angry
Though it's hard to pick a favorite scene from such a brilliantly crafted and incredibly well-acted series, this scene might be it. So, so good.. Raw, real, and totally out of left field. Anyone who followed these characters' journey up to this point was surely hit hard in the feels by this powerful scene.
This is the greatest scene of this entire show.
Such performances, those two. Beautiful!
When this show was good it was some of the best stuff ever put to television.
Such a fantastic scene.
Guys ive figured it out. The real subjects are the main first 4. The new subjects of the experiment are not the ones being tested, they are just being used. The real test is to see how good the main 4 have become and how good they can be in the situations they are in. They are all put in tough spots which proves they are being tested on how good they can be when things are against them or when they are put with people they hate. This explains why Michael fakes the nervous attack. It was part of the plan to make Eleanor the leader. When Eleanor figured out Michael faked the nervous attacked Michael got a little nervous because he thought she figured everything completely. Luckily, she just figured that one part and that was it. Michael acts very strange and serious and seems like her knows something else is going on throughout the episodes.
Aaron Galvan im scared your right, and that you just spoiled the series for meh!😅
2:47
Hit waaaay to hard...
That moment reminds me SO much of Buffy, the TV Show. 'you're just a girl; that's what I keep saying.'
I can’t wait to watch the season and understand the context behind these clips
Eleanor Shellstrop: A hot blonde Wile E. Coyote with a big heart and a world class BULLSHIRT detector!
Man...what I wouldn't give to be told "you can do this" the way Michael tells Eleanor she can do this.
Well 799 times Jason got one, nearly put myself into retirement after that one
'Deckhead'
Now that's a new one
nobody could have played Eleanor better than Kristen Bell
Bruh the episode hasn’t even released for me yet
GeekDefinition aye same. I thought maybe it was last weeks episode but now I’m pretty sad that I can’t watch it yet
These episodes finally convinced me that Chidi and Eleanor are a match
Maybe the 1000th and 1st idea might work. Just keep swimming. You got this.
elanor is awesome
I love this show so much, and scenes like this are why. I am so forking angry that this is last season.
I remember first watching this and I cried
world class bullshirt detecter is the best thing I heard all day
amazing. cant wait for season 4
It's like they're using the "chosen one" trope and putting it on its head, because Eleanor wasn't destined for this. None of the Soul Squad/Team Cockroach was supposed to do this. Michael simply just wanted a new way of torturing people and in the process they're on the cusp of changing the entire afterlife system. There wasn't some cosmic reason before the show started that they would become the saviors of humanity, it was an organic process that we were with them all along that makes its believable that the only people who can do this is a "girl from Arizona" and her friends.
is this the second episode??
Of: 'Season 4,' Yes.
Damn I love this show
She did the next right thing *pun intended
Michael got scared
Eleanor goes crazy
Can someone tell me the track name for the music used at the beginning and end of this clip?
The only one who could save all the humans, living, dead, and not yet born, every demon, angel, and immortal being... is Eleanor.
Love that girl
