Line 145:
** In another episode, a church carnival has a mirror that shows what you'd look like in Hell. When Lisa looks into it, she sees herself and ragged clothes being eaten at by flames. When [[Big Bad|Mr. Burns]] looks into it, he sees himself dressed as a king and eating a human head. "[[Catch Phrase|Excellent!]]"
** ''Treehouse of Horror IV'' features Ned Flanders as [[Satan]] (explaining "Always the one you least suspect") who manages to get Homer to sell him his soul for a doughnut. Though Homer is able to wrangle out of this before an infernal court trial he still is consigned to hell for a day. Hell is played dead straight as a place of suffering and torment, but an attempt at [[Ironic Hell]] backfires as Homer is fed all the doughnuts in the world in an attempt to drive him mad; it fails and Homer just keeps asking for more.
** In another ''Treehouse of Horror'', Bart and Lisa are [[Dragged Off to Hell]] due to a spell inscribed on a desk, and find themselves in a hellish grade school. Bart actually likes it much better than his old school, as he excels in the classes they offer, so much that he wants to enroll even after Lisa finds a portal back to Earth. It's even somewhat of a nicer place for Lisa too, as she's popular with the evil female classmates (causing it to be a [[Literal Metaphor cold day there]] for a while) but she isn't as eager to stay.
* Hell is completely inconsistent in ''[[South Park]]''. Sometimes it'll be a place of suffering and torment, and sometimes we'll drop in on Satan throwing a luau of the damned and people having a decent time. What is somewhat consistent (or at least given the occasional [[Continuity Nod]]), though, is that it contains everyone who isn't a Mormon. From what they've shown, Heaven seems like a pretty boring and annoying place filled with stereotypical Mormons.
** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Satan in this show is a flippant and fickle [[Man Child]], so the Hell is probably oscillating between this and a "regular" Hell, depending on his whim.
