Stop everything, y'all. 'The Good Place' and 'Parks and Rec' exist in the same universe.

The BEST place.

On a list of best TV crossovers, we think we might have found the absolute best.

It turns out two of your most beloved shows — The Good Place and Parks and Recreation — take place in the same universe. We may now all start referring to it as the BEST place.

On Tuesday Twitter user @ShinraAlpha pointed out that Eleanor Shellstrop's fave magazine, Celebrity Baby Plastic Surgery Disasters, features not one but two advertisements straight from the world of Parks and Rec.

Needless to say everyone is FLOORED.

In two screenshots from The Good Place, ads for Dennis Feinstein's cologne and Jean-Ralphio's champagne — both booming products in the city of Pawnee — can be seen on the magazine's back covers as Eleanor is reading.

Mind. Blown.

Are these simply some of the best easter eggs ever? Or is Mike Schur, the creator of both shows, trying to tell us all that Chidi, Tahani, Eleanor, and Jason all live in the same damn universe as Leslie Knope, Ron Swanson, Andy Dwyer, and Tom Haverford?? Cause that is the reality we want to be true.

This is the crossover episode we never knew we needed. Just imagine...

Even Netflix is on board with the universe clash.

Though a potential merge of fictional worlds does seem perfect, we must remember that both Kristin Bell, who stars as Eleanor in The Good Place and Adam Scott, who played a demon in the Bad Place, have been on Parks and Rec. I guess that would make things a bittttt complicated, but it's 2018 so anything can happen. Right?

Regardless, we're happy we know where Leslie Knope will go when she dies.
