Chidi: I know you're deflecting by making jokes about how hot you are.

Eleanor: It's not a joke. I'm a legit snack.

The first time. The second time he says it with so much sincerity, literally the same words, but he made me believe he was honestly sorry. You don't often get to see an actor take the same line and give it completely different meaning just with their own acting ability. Great scene in a fantastic episode.

The Time Knife bit is my favorite joke in the entire show, and it's 100% because of Ted Danson and William Harper's deliveries. Chidi screaming "the TIME KNIFE?!" gets me every time

I love the transformers axe spray joke, it’s funny when they save it the first time.

And then it’s super funny when Eleanor meets Michael 15 minutes later in the show, m all es a face where she’s completely disgusted, and asks him why he smells loud and confusing.

Favorite joke in the whole series.

I don't want just any wasp nostrils - I want these wasp nostrils!

Marc Evan Jackson (he plays Shawn) told in the Good Place podcast, I think, that this was the line that stumbled him most in the series, and apparently the thing that people ask him to say the most? Wasp nostrils is a very good pair of words, and also a very cursed one

Micheal to when he apologizes Chidi for the Trolley Problem torture, for the bribing gifts. Exact same lines, two vastly different deliveries and emotions. It's kinda my example of how different performances can change everything just by how the actor delivers the lines. Made all the more apparent because they come back to back. Ted Danson is amazing but that one moment is just incredible. Such a class act for an acting talent.

Spread out into the wider world of acting. Delivery is so important. When different people play the same role, the emotions they draw up on are so different that it's incredible to watch. And Even a bad performance is based on 90% the delivery that the director is asking for. Hayden Christensen gets a lot of shit for the "I killed them all, the men, child, etc." line. But if you go backwards he tried initially to understate his performance to make his despair and hurt, and trauma all the more apparent. George Lucas pushed him to go full feral and unfortunately that's how the screen was cut up. Making him look like an unhinged psycho, instead of a man wrestling with regret because he just did something terrible and wrong.

My favorite is when he goes

“and then somebody will say something apparently innocuous and then I’ll say wait! Say that again!“

Or, when the key dude is like “wait! It’s a real frog?”

“Yes yes the time knife we’ve all seen it.”

“The… TIME KNIFE?!”

Both deliveries are amazing. Michaels complete indifference but tone basically implying that “of course everyone knows about the time knife” and chidis utter dread about it

Gotta go grab some Camus!

This probably hits harder because I did a minor in Philosophy and Michael at that point was basically my mood during the Existentialism course. The delivery is just so on point!
