“The Good Place” is among the beloved television shows of the last decade, and for a good reason. The series focuses much on the afterlife and tackles the morality of different characters and the consequences of their values.

Besides the storyline, fans love each character's story and how they contribute to the show's overall excitement. One character fans learned to love is Jason Mendoza, a peculiar yet funny man.

Although Mendoza isn't the ideal man, given his mislaid moral compass, he has added humor to several episodes. Many describe him as lacking in intellect but enjoy praise from those around him.

Unlike the show's other characters, including Tahani, Eleanor, and Chidi, Mendoza's personality and lack of EQ often put him in The Bad Place.

Unfortunately, his character doesn't have much development on the show. Nevertheless, his hilarious lines make a good spectacle for the audience.

Fans who enjoy a good laugh while learning life lessons should also watch "Criminal Minds," "Invincible," and "Freaks and Geeks," all of which have great quotes from characters.
