The Lord Bude posted:Obviously the ol' Faithful is ridiculous but I'd totally eat the Grand Canyon Dog. I'm not a hot dog fan, but I love the idea of two feet of "freedom" baugette filled with chilli hot dog mac. And the notion that they called it a "freedom" baugette is just a perfect caricature for an American themed restaurant from hell. Actually... how positive are we that they're not just in an even bigger bad place? Because that restaurant was not much different than the pun-themed Good Place Neighborhood restaurants. The Mount Rushmore was even more preposterous, with four deep fried heads of lettuce and barbecue ranch sauce (among other things).

The Grand Canyon Dog sounds like the successor to the Sloppy Jessica from Brooklyn Nine-Nine (mac-and-cheese chilli pizza on a bun):![]() (I would eat both and probably regret it immediately.)

What if there is no "bad place", merely different layers of the material realm overseen by a cold bureaucracy that decides when a person has accumulated enough punishment/good deeds that they go up a "level" or down depending on how they've responded?

Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but I love how Jason recognized that Trevor was evil when he named him as Megatron despite being amused by him.

You misunderstand. Megatron was the name that he wanted Trevor to call him.

BlueBayou posted:The menu includes "The Paunch Burger" The World's Largest Tater Tot A potato the size of [sic] human head is stuffed with tater tots, cornmeal and a can of Pabst blue ribbon. Served with a side of ground beef ketchup and a stick to bust it open with. This better not be Megan Amram again. You're going to make a comedy singularity and implode the Earth. Stop!

the only criticism I have with that menu is the misspelling of Four Loko and also the one menu item that doesn't contain anything "world famous"

Also, (since apparently some of you haven't watched it) the Paunch burger was also referenced many times in Parks and Recreation as the prototypical terrible fast food local joint.

I sent that menu to several friends who are from the same garbage place I am from and they totally believed that it was real. The only thing they questioned was the hubcap.

I’d guess “landfill fries” is a riff on the classic upstate garbage plate.

It’s amazing that they can generate this insane quantity of jokes for something that’s just a location for 1/3 of an episode at most. Like it can’t all be Megan Amram can it? (I am reminded of the time P&R’s writers made up a full community college course catalog.)

From the episode 1 podcast, "We crumb from a land down under" wasn't Megan Amram, so I guess all the writers are in on the game now.

I was convinced the Judge was going to toss in "and there is a comedy on Network TV about ethics" when listing everything going off the rails.

Does his actor improv bits because I remember seeing one of the gag reels from S1 where he basically does the same scene over again (him guessing how he died) but with incredulously dumb things that are still very Florida. Or is it a case of the writers having multiple options and letting the actor do them all and then picking the best one in editing? Because I think this is a case of that.

From the podcast, it seems it's mostly the latter, where the writers will have alt-lines available for different takes, but the actors do get some leeway to improv.
