I could be looking for meaning where there is none and it is just a quirky promo video. But the show plays a bunch with morality, decision-making, and what makes a person good versus complacent. I think you could make an argument that they are trying to say that by just watching a relaxing video of a bunny in a bucket we are ignoring thinking about who put the bunny there, why it is there, whether it wants to be there. In short, it is a pleasant image on the eyes, but there are other hands at work that we are likely choosing to ignore. Or it could just be a video of a quirky bunny in a bucket.
Definitely a good season premiere. I'm glad they didn't go the cliche route of Eleanor being jealous of Simone. Also, Ted Danson being an immortal demon who is overly fascinated in trivial Earthly quirks will never not be funny.
It was so fun seeing dorky Janet as their waitress. I hated Trevor to the point of not enjoying watching though, and Maya Rudolph started to grate on me too... Loved the restaurant theme though, I wonder if there are any restaurants out there themed like this. Especially loved the manifest destiny kick someone out of their table option
That was a fantastic episode! Jeremy Bearemy had me cracking up! "The dot over the i broke me." I love the way this show burns through plot. Especially after watching Better Call Saul.

The dot on the "i" just totally breaking Chidi, so good.
"It's Tuesday, July, and sometimes, never."
I love that this season they're mixing in psychology and Neuroscience and time theories in with the ethical philosophy.
The "we got tacos/married!" part also had me cracking up.
Still holding out hope that the guys binge this show someday and we get to hear their thoughts on it.
Here's something really cool that I didn't actually catch on first watch, but someone on Reddit posted about it and then it was confirmed by writer Megan Amram on The Good Place: The Podcast (which is absolutely awesome if you're interested in behind the scenes stuff). There are a few Leftovers easter eggs in The Good Place because they're such big fans. The guy who asks Chidi if he wants "to talk to God" is a direct reference from something that happened with Kevin Sr. in The Leftovers, and that character was named Damon, after Damon Lindelof. Eleanor's birthday is October 14, and the plaque on the wall with Doug Forsett's picture also says October 14. Megan Amran also joked on the podcast about getting hung up on a funny character name that she loved and wanting to cast Justin Theroux in the part. I just love that they put things like that into an already incredibly clever and funny show and I'm going to have to be on the lookout for more references in the future.
Just caught the last episode and am I a bad person because I can't get enough of the Jacksonville jokes? I've never had anything against the city before but the jokes from this show kill me. I might be from when in the first season Jason said he went to Lynyrd Skynyrd High School which is three tug boats tied together in a junk yard. That still makes me laugh. This episode's Randy Macho Man Savage Non-International Airport was almost as good, almost.
The actor that played Donkey Doug did an excellent job of copying Jason's speech patterns.
It seems like such a silly, nothing show but every time an episode ends I wish it wasn't.

Yeah, Donkey Doug was some great casting. Looked like he could easily be related, very similar mannerisms, and the "Blake Bortles!" as he ran from the cops had me dying.
Edit - Also, the whole "You never talk about your dad" "what do you mean, I talk about donkey doug all the time" was one of the funniest lines in a show full of hilarious lines.

I'm not a native Floridian, but I've lived in Central Florida for most of my adult life and I have to say that the Florida jokes in general just amuse me to no end! They're right up there with this gem from "Atlanta." Watch out for Florida Man.

Yeah, that's the stuff

Ok, maybe they are right because that would explain a lot. Goddamit. Now I have to keep an eye out to see if it holds up.

Loved Andy Daly and all the silly Hooters architecture jokes.
