Who is Chidi? Why are there multiple Christopher Columbus memes today, is it a holiday for him or something?
Watch The Good Place, it’s on Netflix.
I don’t have Netflix but thanks! Chidi is a character from that, I guess? :)
Yes, a professor in moral philosophy and a Good Place resident
Highly recommend to watch (widely available through the green streaming service, if you know what I mean)
Yes! Iirc, the guy on the right, in the meme.
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.
Sort of the opposite of Moctezuma II, who converted to Christianity at the last minute in order to save his life.
It didn’t work.
ol ted seems a bit taken aback, or hes wanting to take her a-back to his place
Is that woke “humour” I hear about?
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.
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.
Any joke is funny once it is explained.
Nevertheless just those two slides do not include what you have described as the funny part of the joke.
Drag guesses OP must have liked the true part of this scene better than the comedic context.
This show is one of my favorites, some high level giggles and memorable moments.
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
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.
Sorry, but the correct thing to say when he pops up in something else is, “Oh dip! Pillboi!”
I hope you rectify your behavior.
How is Pillboi a hacker in Brooklyn all of a sudden?! (Nine nine!)
Im prerry sure I’ve heard him in Wendy’s commercials voiceovers selling me burgers or somewhere like that and it was just so funny because I can’t shake that roll from him either.
How did you make that so fast?

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.
Thanks for that! I need more of the good lines distilled. People miss that there’s a ton of legit philosophy in the show (I mean beyond the scenes where Chidi is directly teaching of course). It’s not just a side bit to use here and there where it helps the jokes or the narrative or whatever. I really fell in love with that, like not only was the show hilarious and FULL of interesting and likeable characters, they really made it kind of a class in (or “love letter” about?) the strengths/weaknesses/clashes to different approaches to existential philosophy.
And they did it in a way that wasn’t ham-fisted, ya know? If you already knew some, you’d pick up on it, if not, maybe you’d pick up a few tidbits here and there but otherwise, just a great show without any of that! That’s so hard to do well, idk, I’m just so impressed lol.
Be like water.

I was introduced to Advaita Vedanta through the wave metaphor. Nondualism is a helluva drug, man
When AI images took off like a year or two ago, someone made this image of our favorite architect. I stole it, and when I had the lady watch the show, I showed it to her.
People who haven’t seen the show can be confused how TF this relates to architecture. Get rekt lmao go watch the good place it’s like second to Breaking Bad on shows I don’t regret spending time watching.
Bro I literally can’t stand either of those shows. It’s almost like taste is subjective
Then you won’t get the reference or be spoiled. That’s why I didn’t need to spoiler it.
Your taste is your own.
No, you’re just wrong if you don’t like either.
that’s funny because while the good place is one of the best shows I’ve watched, breaking bad was one dragging slog full of abandoned plot points, inconsistent characters, and dei ex machina, only carried by amazing actors who acted the shit out of a script that didn’t deserve half their effort. 4 seasons too long.
I understand the problem of it being slow for a lot of people, but I was working long hours where the days ran together so it was like one episode a day and then bed, so it all kind of made the months go by faster and bearably.
I missed the word “in” when I first read it and was wondering is the city was much worse than it’s reputation in ways I wasn’t aware of.
I mean as true as that is, saying he’s in the bad place doesn’t really matter much considering everyone goes to the bad place in the show
If Janet didn’t specifically mention the rape, genocide, and slavery to mention specifically the rape, genocide, and slavery that’d be a solid point.
Whoa spoilers!
The lead singer of Spinal Tap would totally go to the Good Place, though.
That wasn’t fun at all.
The fun part is imagining him suffering for his crimes.
He never will, but it’s still fun to imagine it.
Can confirm, I have spent a lot of time in Columbus Ohio.
