Quote from Janet in Don't Let the Good Life Pass You By
Janet: Michael, face facts. Doug is not the blueprint of how to live a good life. He's become a happiness pump. Michael: What? Janet: Remember from Chidi's lessons? Michael: I remember the term happiness pump. That's just mostly because Eleanor and Jason made a bunch of dirty jokes about it. Janet: It's a criticism of utilitarianism. A happiness pump is someone who is obsessed with maximizing the overall good at his or her expense. Doug will do literally anything to make other people happy even if it makes him miserable.
