In The Good Place’s afterlife, numerous amusing scenarios could lead an individual to the Undesirable Realm instead of the Paradise. The scoring system in The Good Place evaluates humans by doling out positive or negative points for each action they performed during their lives. Accumulate enough points, and you’ll enjoy a delightful life in heaven… however, falling short will result in an eternal stay in the Bad Place instead. This system appears to be flawlessly logical, but of course, there’s always a loophole.
Certain deeds leading to the Unpleasant Realm might seem clear-cut: murder, burglary, and other major offenses we generally concur are detrimental to human civilization. However, the actions that land characters in The Good Place aren’t on par with the vilest of humanity. It turns out there are some less apparent – and downright amusing – behaviors that also add to a person’s negative score. Let me share some of the most humorous methods one could earn an eternal ticket to living with spiders crawling over them for eternity.
12. Scamming Old People
Yes, You Get Paid, But At What Cost?
In her previous life, Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell) had a habit of putting herself first, and one of her self-serving acts was swindling the elderly. One aspect of Eleanor’s job involved peddling ineffective supplements to the elderly, and she didn’t mind that her employer wasn’t entirely honest. As long as Eleanor received her wages at the end of each week, she paid little heed to the fact that the supplements were ineffective, or that the company was exploiting the trusting nature of their customers.
11. Doing Charity For The Clout
“Like I Was Saying To My Friend Taylor…”
It can be puzzling because charitable acts are generally considered beneficial. However, one issue that many harmful actions share is that they are often driven by self-interest. Specifically, it’s not commendable to prioritize how your charity looks over what a charitable organization actually accomplishes for others. In fact, doing so can be detrimental. And Tahani Al-Jamil (Jameela Jamil) was punished for this behavior in the Bad Place.
In a nutshell: It’s worth noting that charities often attract influential philanthropists. However, associating with such organizations merely to rub shoulders with celebrities is essentially self-centered. Furthermore, using powerful figures for personal gain by mentioning their names excessively doesn’t necessarily mean they are close confidants. Even if they’re in your contacts, that doesn’t automatically make them intimate friends of yours.
10. Being An Artist
Not The Same Thing As Doodling
The show The Good Place suggests that artists often tend to be self-centered, and this kind of selfishness can quickly accumulate negative points. However, not everyone who scribbles in the margins is an “artist.” They need to be a type of artist who’s arrogant, detached, and somewhat inconsiderate, aiming to attract numerous admirers and followers. We’re talking about artists like Kamilah al-Jamil (Rebecca Hazlewood) here.
In the final episode of “The Good Place,” we were not provided with any specifics about how or when Tahani’s sister, Kamilah, passed away. This occurred during a lengthy timeframe in the series. By that point, the Soul Squad had successfully restructured the flawed system of the afterlife, meaning that Kamilah wouldn’t have been immediately sent to the Bad Place solely because she was an artist. However, working through her own ego issues likely played a significant role in Kamilah’s unseen journey towards redemption.
9. Having A Destination Wedding
You Get Extra Negative Points For Having A Themed Destination Wedding
Are you planning to request your closest friends and relatives to spend a substantial amount on airfare for your wedding that is far from home, and furthermore, expecting them to wear unusual costumes once they arrive? This decision may result in you losing goodwill, as not everyone can afford or wish to travel for such an occasion, and many might find it wasteful to use their valuable time off work to celebrate a family member who has already reached their peak in high school. A destination wedding, especially one with a theme, could be seen as thoughtless by some.
8. Having Personalized License Plates
Of Course, You Own The Road
As a movie buff, I can’t help but notice those personalized license plates and the attention they seem to crave. They’re not called vanity plates because modesty is the name of the game, you know? Instead, it feels like these custom tags are invitations for others to recognize us as the VIPs on the road.
Now, let me tell you, vanity plates are just one of many traffic offenses that can earn you a bad reputation. Take, for instance, the guy who rolls up in a flashy car with “BOOBGUY” on his tags, pulling into the breakdown lane when there’s gridlock. Or how about the woman, proudly displaying “MAMASBMW,” who stuffs a stolen scarecrow in her passenger seat to take advantage of the carpool lane? These folks are turning the road into their own personal red carpet!
7. Being A Contestant On The Bachelor
(Or Just Really Emotionally Invested In It)
It’s common knowledge that shows like The Bachelor (and The Bachelorette) aren’t authentic representations of real-life dating, yet some individuals still find themselves manipulating feelings for a brief moment in the spotlight. As The Good Place suggests, even deeply caring about who receives and gives roses can add a few negative points to your emotional tally. Eleanor is one of many viewers who fuel the catfights and drama simply by tuning in week after week.
6. Microwaving Fish At The Office
Everyone Microwaves Fish In The Bad Place Break Room
If you’ve never experienced the horror of working in an office where a colleague heated up leftover fish in the communal break room microwave, then you can’t truly grasp how awful this situation can be. On the other hand, if you’ve had the unfortunate experience of being in such an office, you certainly understand. The entire office is acutely aware, and for the next week, everything will carry the fishy smell (and likely taste), until someone replaces it with the scent of burnt popcorn.
5. Taking Off Your Shoes and Socks On A Plane
Or A Train To The Medium Place
Just as heating fish in the office kitchen can earn you a ticket to an unpleasant destination, removing your shoes and socks during a flight might also land you there. The footwear itself is offensive enough, but the socks? That’s just taking it too far! All fellow passengers are simply asking for a little consideration. Similarly, the act of microwaving fish serves as a clear indicator, much like Eleanor’s extraordinary behavior that avoids this fate.
4. Starting A Fire In Your Mailbox To Get The Mailman Shirtless
… Eleanor, No
When people say that every action you perform on Earth earns points, they are referring to every single action, even those that might be less common such as the instance when Eleanor set a small fire on government property for amusement. If you do something entirely unprecedented, the folks at the Impartial Office will have to determine how many points it’s worth since the uniqueness of a completely new thing would likely bring a smile to the Accountants’ faces, were they not obligated to remain impartial.
3. Being From Florida
Being From France Is Also Bad
The primary motivations behind visiting the Bad Place often stem from poor choices individuals make out of self-interest, and then there’s being a resident of Florida (or France), which is depicted in “The Good Place” as a region rife with subpar education and economic prospects. This environment shapes characters like Jason Mendoza (Manny Jacinto) who, beneath their warm and kind nature, are hindered by their surroundings, making it difficult for them to consider alternatives or expand their perspectives beyond their immediate circumstances.
France, much like the characters in ‘The Good Place’, can sometimes come across as being insular, albeit from an inflated notion of their own superiority. As Michael (played by Ted Danson) explains, stealing a simple loaf of bread only earns you -17 points, while stealing a baguette, considered more typically French, results in a harsher -20 points deduction.
Or, another way:
France has a unique form of insularity, stemming from an overblown sense of superiority, similar to the characters in ‘The Good Place’. Michael (portrayed by Ted Danson) explains that while stealing a loaf of bread gets you a -17 point penalty, stealing a baguette, which is more characteristic of France, results in a more severe -20 points deduction.
