The Good Place Iceberg Explained | Feat: Extended 

What should I talk about next? Comment it here!

Chiding didn't joke about almond milk being his downfall- he truly believed it. I think the almondmilk theory is bogus because the whole point of them mentioning it is to illustrate that Chidi was completely unaware that his actual downfall was his lack of ability to commit to something and make decisions.

I like how the showrunners avoided the red colour to prevent associations with hell but they told us about "retirement"

I think it would have been cool to include the theory that Micheal is actually being tortured the whole time, Eleanor even suggests it in an episode in season 3 that a ‘mega demon’ is the one torturing him

I have always been amazed at the fact that the entire plot is revealed in the very first episode when Eleanor says that her parents must be used to torture each other in the bad place 😁

Please do a b99 iceberg next

In the final episode, during Tahani’s goodbye party, a panda brings Eleanor champagne!!! More magic panda? 😏😏

SE E11 is not showing Trevor, it's showing Chidi. Check the outfits. The little dude you focus on is wearing a mailman outfit. Trevor was wearing his patented leather jacket. The whole point of the IHOP is that it's multi-dimensional and not limited by time and space. Chidi falls into a pancake, gets made tiny and flies around all of space and time (even seeing the Time Knife!!) including to a point BEFORE when he stepped into the pancake (Jerimy Bearimy remember). The flying Chidi before he gets shrunk is a brilliant little foreshadowing as well as a mini-gag run in reverse.

I don't like the theory that Michael is God. I feel like it really undermines his character arc if he was just pretending to be a demon the whole time rather than actually being a demon and learning how to be more human. The same goes for Chidi being a demon, it undermines the point of his character arc.

my mom pointed out that “architect michael” sounds a lot like archangel michael. it makes sense because both michael and the archangel were in the war versus good and evil!

Absolutely incredible iceberg! I love that “Catch that magic panda use her powers” is actually supported. What a fun Easter egg!

I've always been hoping for the existence of a Good Place iceberg, oh boy is this going to be a treat

The show explicitly says he went to the bad place for his indecisiveness so anyone who believes this theory hasn’t really watched the show that closely

this is more of a good place _theory_ iceberg rather than a good place iceberg in general, but still really well made!!

Oh my god, I thought the ‘magic panda’ was Janet… I can’t believe I’m still learning new things about this show, even after watching it for about 10+ times… 😳

I would love any Arrested Development content- such a good show

Chidi was not joking about the almond thing, he was serious 😂

You do know that in the second to last episode when Elenor was creating the system they if you keep rebooting people over and over again they will never change their solution to that was to give them a little voice in their head that would them what they’ve learned from previous reboots

i audibly gasped when i saw this video, i LOVE the good place, but i almost never hear anyone talk about it or see any content about it, i’m so excited to watch this!

this is by far my favorite sitcom NBC has released since community.

The good place is literally my favorite show, so excited to watch

Tahani actually mentions dating Larry Hemsworth towards the beginning of season 2, which makes it a stronger callback than just the ep before he shows up in season 3

If you go by certain philosophies/religions it can be assumed that when Chidi, and i guess Eleanor, make the choice to end it (i forget the actual lingo in the show) that is sorta like them choosing to get off the karmic wheel. So in a Buddha sense, they dont reincanate anymore and reach Nirvana. Sooooo, Nirvana can be seen as the actual Good Place of the show because there may have been subtle nods to Buddhism. I think the same might be said for Gnostic Heaven too. Anyway,they didnt show Nirvana cuz thats something...youd have to be a Buddha yourself to have any clue about. And maybe they didnt call it Nirvana because that would be leaning too much to any one philosophy over any other. Also the guy that Michael meets at the door in the final episode was a reincarnated individual right? Cuz they seemed to infer that Michael knew him.

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG THANK YOU! :D

Love your vids, love this show, time to see how many of these theories I know of :D Right off the bat, if the Schuverse theory is to be believed, that would also rope in New Girl since they did a crossover on B99. Trying to think of other shows that have been connected, but none other come to mind immediately. I absolutely love this show. It's actually what made me take both a Philosophy and Ethics class for my college electives :)

You forgot about one more magic panda that appeared in the finale, the panda was the waiter, it offered Eleanor a glass of wine, she took it and said "Thank you Panda"

Love the content! Keep it up!!!

Awesome video! I wish it had more views like the other Iceberg videos!

OMFG This absolutely broke me. I definitely need a part two...

Love the video 🔥

Hello, bill. I love your videos, they are fantastic. Make sure you keep making videos you enjoy. You've done a lot of iceberg videos, just don't get burnt out. Love you man.

The explanation of the tittle pretty much sums up what people explaining different math concepts to me is like 😂 Def feeling Chidi's reaction there!

For the first iceberg point about Eagleton, I wish you had commented on the fact that Kristen Bell plays both Eleanor in The Good Place and Ingrid De Forest in PnR. Doesn't that essentially destroy the theory that PnR and The Good Place exist in the same universe?

a part 2 would be great 👍

I finally just finished watching this. It’s the bravest show of the Schurverse!

I honestly feel that Tahani was the most inproved

1:57, don't forget, New Girl is in the Brooklyn 99 universe as well.

Idk if you're into all these shows but icebergs for: new girl (or a where is the bear video for new girl, there supposedly is a bear in -almost- every episode), archer, arrested development, Atlanta, broad city, curb your enthusiasm, Malcom in the middle, modern family, the sopranos, workaholics. Some might not even have enough theories for an iceberg video but I would probably watch any video made by the channel about any of these shows :)

That last point hits almost as hard as the end of the show. Great video guys.

Phoebe wouldn't go to the good place either, she was jealous towards her sister, she locked up Mike to a pipe for whatever reason, she mugged multiple people including Ross. Now she did do the mugging to survive due to being poor, but that wouldn't help her in the old good place.

13:11 Also to add to the magic panda cameos, you can actually see it on the wall that has the framed pictures of demons in S4 EP5, when Michael & Jason are in the bad place trying to save Janet

great stuff, plz do a B99 iceberg so Michael Schur’s iceberg mega will be conplete

Please make the second part of this iceberg

I need another iceburge of the good place! I learned so much just from this one!

Part 2 please, love the good place

Not even close to a religious person but absolutely love this show great cast

YES!, this universe NEEDS more attention

I'd like to point out that those were indeed 9 Rings/Circles above the bed, not 9 gears, it was a cheeky subtle hint to where they were.

Didn’t want this video to end.

But Brooklyn 99 and New Girl are canonically in the same universe. Which has always been pretty strange to me

Loving the DBZA references 😂

More Good Place,please. :) Oooo,Welcome to Night Vale-iceberg. That would be amazing ^^

Golly, I just love this show, and I've rewatched it more times than I can count. I'm glad that there's an iceberg video for it!! :)

The panda does show up in other episodes too, there is one where he is holding a tray with drinks.

i would love to know what would happen to kids and babies that passed away like if everyone got sent to the bad place what about babies tthat dies or little kids

Hm on the "Bettering Place"/Purgatory theory, it could be theorized that they are already specifically in the test phase for the good place that they ended up "devising" at the end? Basically what if the entire group is in a simulation like the ones they came up with at the end of the show to test you and make you better in order to get into the Good Place. In that sense, the afterlife is already not cruel or "fixed" by someone else before the group and they are just participating in it. Their 4 season run is essentially the test that made them "confront their moral shortcomings" and get into the Good place. The next question is, who is being tested. Maybe one of them is "real", maybe all of them. 🤓

I want to ask Michael Shur if he was inspired by the Twilight Zone episode "A Nice Place to Visit" It's the first season in 23 minutes

This was my favorite show

21:59 in the episode Jermey Bearimy approximately 4 minutes 9 seconds in he tells tahani “almost 300 actually”

So happy with the algorithm right now.

the Eleanor test theory just blew my mind

I believe on The Good Place podcast Shure said that 322 is from skull and bones but it was because one of the writers "may or may not" have been in the club.

This graph shows that almond milk is only bad for water usage where rice milk is close to almond milk in every category except for water usage.

Side note: the iceberg illustration used in the thumbnail is widely used, but wrong-an iceberg that shape would not and could not stably float with that orientation. (I say this as a physicist.)

I thought this was an iceberg about good things and the deeper the good

17:08 yeah that was very heavily implied. it wasn't exactly a subtle metaphor.

In season 1 when micheal is asking Janet for the list of people who were at the restaurant you can see someone hand her papers at the corner of the screen.

Weird there was no mention at all about the "Judge" (Who is she then?) And you guys didn't talk about the shrimps.

"May 10th means nothing to most people" my birthday being on may 10th 😰

Phoebe was a sociopath, she totally would have ended up in the bad place.

Lmao the DBZ abridged “void” 😂😂

13:42 ok i didnt think a panda could ever be this terrifying

Can’t believe we didn’t get into the mike is in the bad place theory

The name Michael is transliterated on the question in Hebrew "Who is like El?". El means God. It is also the name of the prime Archangel in Catholic Christianity and the prince who protects the people of Israel / Judah in the Tanakh. Some baby name books mistranslated the name to mean "one who is like the Lord" rather than "who is like God?" One would assume that the real good place was created by God and that Michael was creating his "Good Place" in emulation of God. Michael's progress from Demon to ultimately human being through torture and ultimate self-redemption by creating his own moral path is ironically a purgatorial exercise which allows him to ultimately be redeemed and to enter the Good Place on his own merit. This is scarily deep stuff. Who is like God at the end of the whole series? All those who progressed and developed into being the best they could be and ultimately returned to the universe from which they originated. Although, God remains outside the series as a whole and yet is included in the human move to become better than they were, ascending to a higher state of being.

Those are circles. For the 9 circles of hell. You even say 9 circles of hell in the very next part of the video lmao..

You missed a panda there was a photo of it in the demon of the bearmy hall or something when they went to rescue Janet

finally an iceburg that i know everything abt

DBZA reference at 4:42

Phobe wouldn't go to the good place either, she was jealous towards her sister, she locked up Mike to a pipe for whatever reason, she mugged multiple people including Ross.

I just liked it and it went from 999 to 1k I feel so powerful 👹

I was born on a Tuesday in July … am I the tittle ? Am I the VOID ?!

Why did the voice suddenly change at 11:36?

So you think you would get bored and delete yourself? Every book and tv show could be a real thing, time would move, new people, new ideas, new media, just take some breaks get a job , sleep for 20,000 years, reset yourself / delete what you did, live a full life in your fav tv show try new ideas, make a earth like Rome did not fall.

interesting

please do brooklyn nine-nine next

Wasn’t Phoebe pretty violent, manipulative and a former mugger? Yeah, I think she’s actually got the fastest ticket to The Bad Place 😂

I looooved the good place

What about the panda in the last episode that gives Eleanor champagne?

About friends..Ross drowned Chandler. He is going to do the same to all his castmates. Then he is going to start a show call,"friend".

Wouldn't it make more sense for Michael to have secretly been... The Archangel?

As someone born on a Tuesday in July, can confirm nothing never happened

Dante also said there's 9 circles of heaven

Love the content but the graph @ 4:03 couldn’t be more wrong 1 sq mile of land can feed 150 cows every year just from grass alone so it grows back every year and 150 cows at 40-45 litres a day of milk, which is average, is almost 11 million to 12 million cups of milk a year also cows only drink about 75-100 litres of water on extremely hot days and over the year it averages out to be 60-70 litres of water. Either way love this iceberg content you got going been watching a few of them on your channel. Keep up the great work just defending the agriculture industry since it gets the most misinformation about it.

Please do Brooklyn 99 netx

OK so now that we now you're a fan of dbz abridged... iceberg please 🙏

Post the lost video now

Come on lads! You didn't even mentioned the possibility that the whole show us actually Michael's bad place!

the 9 gears -> circles above her bed was a joke, right?.....RIGHT??

My guy really said eagleton was full of rich powerful snobs instead of rich snobby jerks

also! very minor but new girl would also take place in this universe bc b99 and new girl had a crossover episode :)))
