Unless you're having Joey Tribbiani over as a dinner guest, anyway.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I probably won't combine them. Probably.

The Good Place: The Donkey Doug casting was perfect.

What is even happening?

I agree, sj.

I haven't checked her Twitter page yet, to see if she's commented on this, but I'm pretty sure Jameela Jamil had to draw on some other-worldly strength not to break during the Donkey Doug/Pillboi " Shark Tank" presentation (and ensuing scenes).

They even end one scene with Michael looking to Tahani for a reaction to the idiocy, but they never show her reaction.

I loved the episode, because it's The Good Place, but I was a little taken aback by the time jump. I'm so used to one episode picking up in the same scene where the last one left off that I thought I missed something.

After dh and I finished "The Ballad of Donkey Doug" the first time, we re-watched "Jeremy Bearimy" again, to see what we'd forgotten, only to realize we hadn't really forgotten anything.

Since he fell asleep, I then watched "The Ballad of Donkey Doug" for a second time, and want to make clear I didn't notice (what I perceived to be) Kameela's superhuman effort not to laugh, until that second viewing.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I follow her on Instagram, and she posted today that it was almost impossible to keep a straight face during those scenes. (Her Instagram is the damn best.)

She's terrific. Her Twitter is a good place, too.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

it was almost impossible to keep a straight face during those scenes

I don't think I could have managed it!

The slow realization that they also needed to rob a bottle factory was PRICELESS.

I could not stop laughing at the fact that Donkey Doug is Jason's dad. Because of course he is.

Also, Michael's delighted reaction to the monster-truck taxi was PERFECT.

Donkey Doug is what, maybe 12 years older than Jason?

I really hope that's not the last we see of Simone, she's pretty great.

Also "Go, be a person" is my favorite advice ever
