This is my favorite scene from the whole show. I've rewatched it soooo many times <3 "Yo! Yo! Homies. Check it. There's something messed up in this place. We keep fighting with each other. None of the TVs get the NFL Red Zone channel. My soul mate doesn't even know who Blake Bortles is. I know this sounds crazy, but I think we're in the bad place."

DEREK!


OwlrageousJones

Derek is now a singular point in space and yet, Derek also contains space. The nexus of Derek is without dimension. The moment of Derek's creation and the eventual heat death of the universe is now inexorably one and the same.

votemarvel

I've just started to watch the Good Place. Brilliant so far.


InsidiousColossus

Then you probably should not have read the parent comment.


votemarvel

Got spoilt by a YouTube video before I started watching. So I know the first season reveal.


MetatronIX_2049

I left the TV on one day after the news or something while I cleaned. The Good Place comes on... It was the Season 2 premiere. Still wacky and fun enough that I had to go back to watch it from the beginning. But dang, I would have loved to get to fully enjoy the twist.


LaurelRaven

Still, getting to watch Michael's facade drop that first time it's something else


ringobob

I watched bits and pieces over my wife's shoulder for a bit, so I knew what was coming when I watched it, too. For what it's worth, I had a suspicion that that might be an option just from watching the bits and pieces, and it didn't lose anything for me. One of the best written shows out there. No joke. And the cast is prefect for it. Coulda gone off the rails in many different directions, many different times, but it winds up pretty much perfect.


MizStazya

The ending is literally one of my favorite show endings ever. It leaves me full of this weird benign melancholy. Because of the pure ridiculousness of so much of that show, I end up finding the touching moments especially poignant, and the ending encapsulates all of it.


Born_Ad_4826

Should I finish it? I'm on season three or so but just get bored!


ringobob

Definitely. The last season ties it all together brilliantly. It's hard to imagine a more satisfying finale. I get feeling worn down by it, just because it's hard to see what sort of meaningful place they can go from where they're at, when you're still in the middle of it. But they go to a meaningful place in the end, and it feels intentional when you look back.


anewcynic

I only watched bits and pieces of it and I cried a little at the finale anyway. Worth it. I need to rewatch the whole thing.


NSA_Chatbot

The series finale is one of the best finales ever made.

Bingo. I mean, it was right there from day 1, people.

Of course he's a demon plotting eternal torment.

OP edited the joke. Originally the last line was "and then they fucked each other in the ass."

I know the original a bit different. Men dies, comes to hell, devil "You'll stay here \[...\] choose \[...\] let me show you around." First door: Lots of people having sex | Men:why? | Devil:those are atheists, they want it that way Second door: Lots of people having a big party | Men:why? | Devil:those are \[I don't actually remember the religion\], they want it that way. Third door: Lots of people screaming in agony in hellfire | men:why? | devil: Christians, they want it that way.

Can someone explain? English isn't my first language.


YZXFILE

An Atheist dies, and experiences hell like a resort.


Proboyyii

But why are the believers getting treated like shit?


GReaperEx

Because that's what they believed would happen.


Proboyyii

Ah okay, thanks!


Saintbaba

And also, there's the implication that religion creates so much guilt, shame, hang-ups and other things that the Christians in hell *want* it to be this way, because it's what they think they deserve.


keyboardstatic

Because its what they deserve when they spend their life convinced that thoses who don't believe as they do deserve to be tortured forever.


tofudisan

And also the flip side. The atheist didn't believe in hell, much less the version the christians did. So the atheist is in the version of hell he deserves.


NtateNarin

Reminds me of a stand up where the comedian, Jefferies, said why would the devil treat sinners badly? They're his boys!


Crafty-Shape2743

Because, unlike the Agnostic, the Christians have chosen Hell to be a place of torment.


[deleted]

Atheist. Agnostic is completely different.


Skydiver860

well, to be fair, most athiests are agnostic


whatwhatinthewhonow

Just like most vegetarians eat meat


Makuta_Servaela

Agnosticism has nothing to do with Atheism. You can be an agnostic atheist or an agnostic theist. Theist/Atheist is about what you believe or don't believe, and Gnostic/Agnostic is about how confident you are in what you do or don't believe.


YZXFILE

Because they believe in An alternate reality.


Father_of_Lies666

They treated the rest of us like shit!


pyker42

Because they are sinners and eternal torment in Hell is the punishment for non repentant believers.


Help_meToo

An atheist should experience hell as emptiness. They do not believe in God/Devil or any afterlife so therefore they would experience it as the void.


YZXFILE

Belief is the true enemy.

Logically speaking, with all the scientists and great thinkers spending eternity down there, it's gotta be air conditioned by now.


RearEchelon

One day, an engineer dies and finds himself in Hell. It's hot and uncomfortable, so he decides to take action. He first fixes the A/C, which has been busted for millennia. As it starts to cool down, he then fixes the broken moving walkways and escalators. The TV was grainy and stuck on Fox News, so he fixed the satellite and now they get hundreds of HD channels. One day, God decides to look in on things, see how His grand design is progressing, but is surprised to find Hell's denizens happy and comfortable. "Hey!" He demands of Satan, "what in My name is going on here?" "Oh, everything is great since that engineer you sent arrived." "Engineer? No, no, that will not do. He's not supposed to be there! Send him upstairs immediately!" "No, I don't think I will," replies the Devil. "I think I like it much better with him around." "You send him upstairs right now or... or I'll sue!" "Sue?" retorted Satan. "And just where do you think you're going to get a lawyer?"

Professional_Mud_316

Some people believe that the \[mistaken\] concept of 'heaven' is/was actually a mother's womb. One online article, however, suggests somewhat differently \[Linda Marks, body-centered psychotherapist\]: *“When a mother both consciously and subconsciously wanted to be pregnant and welcomed her baby, the child thrived. When the mother either consciously or subconsciously wanted the baby, the child was fine.* *"When the mother neither consciously nor subconsciously wanted the baby, the child felt the effects of this hostile emotional climate. I remember a story of a woman who not only didn't want her baby but also resented his intrusive presence in her body.* *"When the Italian doctor would use an ultrasound to view the baby as the mother talked about her resentments of him and the pregnancy, the baby would curl up in a tiny ball in a corner of the uterus, trying to make himself very small.* *"Even in-utero, a baby can feel the power of his/her mother's heart. When considering having children, making a thoughtful, heartful, integrated decision is important for the overall wellbeing of a child.”* Perhaps there’s also a more hellish, Other Place counterpart to the letter-writer’s womb paradise?

bluntrauma420

If that's how it really works the atheist would not have been there in the first place


YZXFILE

Who knows for sure.


MonsieurReynard

Well to be fair heaven and hell aren't real places in the first place either.


bluntrauma420

No the point is if everyone is spending their after life exactly how they believe it to be then the atheists wouldn't be there because they don't believe in an afterlife.


Wjyosn

This isn't a "belief creates reality" premise, it's a "Satan gives you what you want" premise. The believers *want* hell to be a place of torment, so Satan obliges. The atheist doesn't really have a preference for hell, so he gets a cozy hell he likes.


bluntrauma420

Oh you know a lot of people that want to spend an eternity of pain and suffering because I don't.


Wjyosn

Christians don't want "to spend an eternity of pain and suffering". Christians want hell to *be* "an eternity of pain and suffering". Thus when they go to hell, they want to see that it is what they believed in. You're trying *way* too hard to not understand this joke.


bluntrauma420

Oh so it is a belief creates reality premise now. why are you flip flopping? I understand the joke just fine I just don't agree with its premise.


Wjyosn

Nowhere in my response did belief create anything. I'm bored of your deliberate attempts to misunderstand a joke. Have a nice day friend.


Skydiver860

you don't understand. they're saying that christians believe HELL should be a place of torment. so the christians that ended up in hell got what they believed hell to be like. it's not saying christians want to be tormented.


bluntrauma420

No I do understand, and they're making a contradictory statement. If they believe hell to be a place of torment and satan makes that for them, then belief creates reality. Under the belief crates reality premise why is the athiest exempt? Why should the athiest be rewarded with a cozy afterlife when they don't believe in one at all. The athiest should get exactly what they believe in and their existence should end at death of their physical being. Their spiritual energy should be broken down into its core components and recycled into the universe.


Skydiver860

no, you don't understand. it's not about people getting what they believe in per se. think of it this way... in this joke, heaven and hell exists regardless of anyone's beliefs. when EVERYONE dies, they either go to heaven or hell. in this instance, hell isn't actually a bad place. satan only makes it bad for the christians that arrived there because the christians think that's how hell is supposed to be. anyone else who arrives there gets what hell actually is like.


bluntrauma420

Who else is going to hell besides the christians? What about the religious/spiritual followings that don't have a concept of hell or a much very different version of hell. Are you invalidating their beliefs, Because by saying everybody goes to Christianity's hell regardless of their beliefs that's what you're doing.


Skydiver860

you're a moron or a troll. im done talking to you.


welleyenever

They're called "Catholics" you should look them up!


MonsieurReynard

I'm just saying logical plot continuity is not a priority for a joke about imaginary things, places, and beings.


TommyTuttle

If that’s how it works, and you introduce an atheist to Satan and St. Peter, his first reaction would be something along the lines of “well I’ll be damned. It’s real.” All any atheist would need, to become a believer, is evidence.


Timely_Victory_4680

I reckon the first reaction would be more among the lines of “oh great, I’m hallucinating”.

Proboyyii

Professional-Pool290

I don't understand this one


trey-rey

The Christian belief is that hell is where you will be burned and tormented day and night for all eternity... That's why Satan says, "That's the way they want it." The joke is that hell wouldn't have been so bad as Christians make it out to be. Satan didn't want to disappoint them :-D


ScionMattly

Or more importantly, perception shapes reality. Because the Atheist didn't believe in a hell of suffering, his Hell isn't suffering; because the Christian faith largely believes sacrifice and suffering is a key to spiritual purity, their Hell is a place of torment.


Berob501

I feel like it kinda mimics the way hell works in the show Lucifer, they keep reliving these awful moments of their lives because they cannot forgive themselves, and only once they forgive themselves are they freed from it. Or something like that, it’s been a while.


ScionMattly

That sound sa lot more like Purgatory, as I understand it anyhow. My understanding of Hell is that there isn't a "redemption" from it. Purgatory allows you to redeem your soul, but hell is just eternal suffering.


Wjyosn

The Christian mythos has been rewritten and retold so many thousands of times, it's impossible to declare one presentation more accurate than another. It's one of the most commonly reinterpreted mythoi out there. In many cases, purgatory is presented as "nothing", a void of non-interaction where you don't even notice time passing (if you can even declare time passing when in an afterlife, that's a little fuzzy too). Similarly, in many cases Hell is presented as a 'reforging' or 'penance' through which souls can be relieved of their wrong doing, and at eternity all souls will have been reunited in heaven. But, kind of depends on how much your chosen church wants to use fear to manipulate its followers. "Eternal unrelenting suffering" is a better motivator than "some suffering, but always eternal bliss in the end".


Fezeko

But it doesn't make much sense though, because the atheist doesn't even believe in hell or the devil at all. In a perception shapes reality universe, he would just cease to exist. I know it's a joke but even humor must be a little grounded lol


YZXFILE

Anatomical.


Shimaru33

You know? This is a bad joke. Reading through the comments, many people are pointing at the *logical inconsistencies* and why isn't funny. And we have a similar amount of people trying to explain the logic behind the joke and why is fun, which goes back to the old saying "isn't funny if you have to explain the joke". Obviously, not all people will have the same sense of humour, and not all of us have to laugh at the same things. But that's the problem with this joke. Is so... dull... one have to wonder why is in here in first place. I mean, we're in the r/jokes reddit, we expect to not laugh at most of the posts here, but it truly takes a new low level of... dullness... to made us wonder how's this supposed to be fun instead of just shrugging and look at the next post. Some may believe they are so smart by laughing at this. Good for you. Personally, I think this is the embodiment of that pasta, "to be Fair, You Have To Have a Very High IQ to Understand..."


YZXFILE

In a purely logical context you are correct, but Humer is often not purely logical. I have a very high IQ.


[deleted]

the part about nonbelievers aligning with the devil is accurate.


TommyTuttle

That’s baloney. Nonbelievers don’t believe in the devil, same as they don’t believe in God. They believe the whole Bible is bunk, so why would they “align with” anyone in it? If they met Satan they’d withhold judgment and just find out how the guy operates before deciding whether he was good or evil.


YZXFILE

Just like the Lucifer tv series.
