There are fewer and fewer things to celebrate in this cold world, but I have good news. For a brief moment, this isn't The Bad Place. This is The Good Place. Or at least an outtake from the set. Stop whatever the fork you're doing and watch this perfect video of Ted Danson dancing in a parking garage.

The dance? Flossing. The execution? Questionable. Overall judges score? 11/10.

On Thursday night, The Good Place aired its final episode before a two-week hiatus for the holidays. Shortly after, Jameela Jamil (who plays Tahani on the show) started dropping video of William Jackson Harper teaching television's favorite demon how to floss. The original video doesn't look so solid, but by the end of the posts, it looks like Danson started getting the hang of things.

I don't want to say that the video is the answer to world peace, but it's pretty close to it. And the "wrong way" sign hanging out in the background just adds an extra level of perfection. The dance comes from a viral clip of "Backpack Kid" doing the dance during Katy Perry's Saturday Night Live performance of "Swish, Swish." Since, it has become a pretty clear indicator of who is an old and who is still within arm's reach of the youths. That is, unless you're Ted Danson, in which case you are timeless and a perfect dancer.

Keep dancing, Danson. The Good Place returns to NBC on Thursday, December 6 at 8:30 ET.
