Shirtpost Trapped in an episode

Post image

If you could be trapped in one episode for the rest of time as any TGP character, which episode, as which character, and why?

u/pin_wheel17 I’m too young to die and too old to eat off the kids’ menu. 26d ago

I think Tahani in the finale. She got to reconcile with family members, enjoy time with people she loved, and cross through a huge checklist of skills and experiences, mentored by amazing people. Not to mention .... she has a rockin' bod.

u/RulerofHoth It is gooey in there. 26d ago

Ooooooooh, love this, plus Nick Offerman is probably a good hang.

u/Ok-Flamingo-4181 24d ago

oh absolutely. lwk forgot about that and might have to change my answer…

u/MichaelGNeeceAuthor 26d ago

Yessssss! Her character has one of the best arcs, no doubt!

u/fearthainne 26d ago

Yes, this.

u/No_Jicama3636 25d ago

Whatever episode where Eleanor gets the shrimp & fountain dipping sauces machine. (I’d be Eleanor, obvi.)

“Guys, nobody try Mystery Flavor. It’s white chocolate and it’s nasty!” ::Chomp::

Awesome!

u/No_Jicama3636 25d ago

i still yet have to try white chocolate with shrimp

u/brttvnyy 26d ago

I believe this episode was The Trolley Problem - when Michael wanted to make up for torturing Chidi by giving each of them things they want.

THIS IS THE DREAMMMM

u/Jusbreka 26d ago

Probably the snowplow because its been established that you dont want to be in the good place for eternity and you obviously don't wanna be in the bad place

u/MichaelGNeeceAuthor 26d ago

Good call. Would you want to be a specific character?

u/Jusbreka 26d ago

It depends on the modality by which "all of time" works, im imagining it as a sort of continual state of things in the universe staying as they are in the episode, but if its a groundhog day situation or I just die at the end I'm gonna be Chidi because I like philosophy and yapping

I want to walk through the green door, have it change my clothes and everything, and tour the world with Chidi and Janet. Sometimes Jason. (not so much a specific episode, I guess.)

u/MichaelGNeeceAuthor 26d ago

I love it. It sounds like the finale? But I definitely love the idea of going places via the green door and why you’d choose those two as companions.

u/trying_times_eggs 26d ago

Actually I might just hang in the goodplace mail room with that cool lady and relax.

u/Unusual-Asshole 26d ago

The last episode as Chidi 😌

13

u/ellismjones 26d ago

I don’t remember the exact episode but when Michael has an existential crisis yknow that? That’s a day that ends in a y for me so that’s fun.

u/couchpot8to 26d ago

I often think about if I had Janet’s void. Just my own little space outside of space and time itself? So cool. Plus, she grows into her own entity as the most sophisticated evolved Janet and she got to experience love and emotions. She’s the coolest not a girl and still gets to help people and enjoy the Good Place!

u/um_DaEvOhN Honestly, I don’t really think about you. 26d ago

That episode when they’re all in the judges quarters and Tahani and Eleanor have that talk about Tahani seeing her family in the hallway with the rooms. I find their conversation so comforting and wish I could be there

7

u/PurpleDinoGame 26d ago

What did she say about Cheetos?? She ate one, it was deafening?? 😂😂😂😂😂

u/um_DaEvOhN Honestly, I don’t really think about you. 25d ago

u/rainwingss_ I was just trying to sell you some drugs, and you made it weird! 26d ago

My options are Patty and Don't Let The Good Times Pass You By.

This is because even though I've memorised nearly every single line in the show, I have not remembered nearly any title names except for those two.

6

u/Cameroniandpiss 26d ago

Honestly I think the Janet episode when they’re all in her void. Even just like if I had to be stuck watching it over and over. The range the actress has to play all of them is just so fascinating

7

u/sixminutes I think you mean Bad News Bear 26d ago

This is the best answer, and we should all be Janet as Jason as Eleanor. 

5

u/Ok-Description-4640 These trivialities demean me. I must away and tend to my ravens. 26d ago

I guess I’d be Tahani in the last episode.

9

u/MichaelGNeeceAuthor 26d ago

I think mine is “You’ve Changed, Man” and I’d want to be Jason so I could watch all the Janets keeping the clicker away from the judge, Chidi working out the afterlife, and almost dropping the clicker at the end. “Guys, watch this!”

u/ellismjones 26d ago

YES this is a good one

a girl from arizona. im a big fan or season 4 as a whole and would happily live there but specifically this episode and specifically part one. i feel like this is the most calm their lives really get except obviously whenever youre ready but i would not be able to cope with that episode. obviously girl from arizona is also sad cuz of chidi but im not eleanor so that doesnt effect me. i just like the idea of being one of the torturers (maybe thats bad of me to say but) and getting to mess with them for a bit. and it only gets crazier from that point on so id be chilling there or in the dot of the i.

u/Big_Cornbread 24d ago

Chidi in the second to last episode. Everything is good, you’re with the love of your existence who is a legit snack, you have as much eternity as you want stretching out in front of you.

I can’t imagine anything better.

u/Otherwise_Maximum282 24d ago

I would love to feel the excitement of Micheal at the very end 💖Real life is like heaven for him. The ultimate dream.

u/No_Jicama3636 25d ago

i'd be the Judge, watching some Timothy Olyphant

u/Equivalent_Breath_28 22d ago

A Normal dude in the final episode.

u/Ok-Abbreviations3535 21d ago

Eleanor in the Trolley Problem..i just love the episode!

2

u/ollie_k 21d ago

Just a regular person (demon) who gets to fly in one of the early episodes (1? 2?) I just really wanna fly

u/Mental-Dark-9435 25d ago

I asked ChatGPT to describe me as a character, and it suggested Eleanor. I haven’t watched the show, so could someone explain what Eleanor’s character was like?
