    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Fake Eleanor (Kristen Bell) comments that being Rapunzel would be the dream. Kristen Bell auditioned for Rapunzel for Disney's Tangled (2010).
    • Goofs
      In the Pilot Chidi tells Eleanor he is speaking French but in the Good Place each person hears the language that they are familiar with. However, in Chidi's Earth sequence he is speaking English with his friend. This is explained further in 'Everything is Bonzer!' when he reveals that he learned to speak English in an American school and worked as a professor in Australia.
    • Quotes

      Eleanor Shellstrop: [to Tahani about Jianyu] He's a simple man. I once watched him eat electrical tape right off the roll. He thought it was a Fruit by the Foot that had gone bad.

    "What?"
    Chidi finds himself gloriously out of his comfort zone in this emotional rollercoaster of an episode.

    "What the actual fork is going on here?"

    Sure, he is not one to swear, but I swear this is the actual phrase going through his sweet, innocent mind by the end of this chucklefest.

    I've loved his acting since the start but blimey, he absolutely nails it in this episode.

    What a class act.
