Contrary to popular belief, and countless online videos of Fortnite lovers making it look easy, flossing ain't that easy.

But that didn't stop Ted Danson, who was caught by his The Good Place co-star Jameela Jamil learning one of the most popular dance moves of 2018.

Danson picks it up pretty quickly, shown the ropes by co-star William Jackson Harper presumably between takes filming the NBC series, then taking it away.

The student truly outflosses the teacher.

True magic. Danson learning how to floss forever is what we would request in our version of The Good Place. In the meantime, maybe he could ask Janet for some flossing tips?
