The Good Place - The Ballad of Donkey Doug

🎙️ In this episode of The Rank Podcast, John returns to Sitcom Rankings with a heavenly (and slightly chaotic) dive into the brilliant 2016 comedy series "The Good Place."

This week, he reviews Season 3, Episode 5 – "The Ballad of Donkey Doug", where Jason and Michael head to Florida to convince Jason’s not-so-bright (but well-meaning) dad, Donkey Doug, to turn his life around. Meanwhile, Tahani and Eleanor team up to help Pillboi and uncover what it means to be good—even when it’s incredibly inconvenient.

John explores how this episode balances heart, ethics, and absurd comedy while digging deeper into Jason’s backstory and the show's broader philosophical questions. Does “The Ballad of Donkey Doug” hit the right note, or does it get lost in the moral madness?

Find out where it ranks in the ever-expanding sitcom hierarchy!
