Spoiler below: (I cannot get spoiler text to work for me for the life of me)
I mean as true as that is, saying he’s in the bad place doesn’t really matter much considering everyone goes to the bad place in the show
The lead singer of Spinal Tap would totally go to the Good Place, though.

I missed the word “in” when I first read it and was wondering is the city was much worse than it’s reputation in ways I wasn’t aware of.
Can confirm, I have spent a lot of time in Columbus Ohio.
ol ted seems a bit taken aback, or hes wanting to take her a-back to his place
Is that woke "humour" I hear about?
Facts about one of the worst people in history, along with the jokey implication that he's in hell, are so woke, aren't they?
Clearly the non-woke thing would be to celebrate the guy who was so atrocious to the natives that even the Spanish royals were outraged and had him brought back to Spain in chains.
But hey, he "discovered America," am I right? Ignoring the millions of people who already lived there at the time, along with the Vikings who got there 500 years before he did.
It's a scene from a show. The joke is that woman being a killjoy. Yes, the scene may need to be explained, but so does, like, that "this is my hole" meme. If you don't understand context, then it may miss you.
And, honestly, even if it is "woke," okay? Like, I don't understand the issue. Just that you don't think it's funny?
Being a killjoy can be a funny joke.
Having something of noteworthiness just for being woke is meaningless.
Like whats the point? Oh wow Columbus is bad. What insightful, thought provoking idea, no one has ever thought that before. It is so original and so funny. Classic. Absolutely brilliant, I wish I could shake your hand.
No it achieves nothing. It is showing your tribe that you hold a view that is already strongly established in that tribe and everyone congratulates you and themselves for holding a view that everyone holds and announcing it to the world. That's why its woke, its pointless. It's not interesting or funny.
I think you're really hung up on that they brought up that Columbus was a shitty person. The joke isn't even about that. Like you said, it's well known, it's the context in which the information is being given that makes it funny.
I don't know if you've ever seen Scrubs, but there's a scene when a character burst into the scene singing "It's a Beautiful Morning." Turns out he's at a funeral. That isn't funny because the character sang a song, it's funny because of where he was singing it and how it's juxtaposed with where he was. What you're doing right now is, "so what's the joke? That it's a beautiful morning? We already know that! This is woke bullshit!"
If you put that scene up would you cut out the part that involves the funeral?
