Line 183:
** In a [[Fantastic Racism]] version of [[Kill the Poor]], the Vees seem to have a low opinion of the lower class sinners; after {{spoiler| Alastor is presumed dead in "The Show Must Go On", all three of them are delighted at the prospect of claiming "ownerless cattle", referring to the souls that they assume are free due to Alastor's death. Clearly, they view such souls as little more than animals.}}
* [[The Purge]]: Hell seems to have an overpopulation problem that causes the forces of Heaven do this annually. The first episode starts with a clock (and later an hourglass) counting down the days until the next one, suggesting a time limit on Charlie's project...
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]:

** Lucifer is this when he comes to Charlie; for most of the series he's too depressed to be an actual leader of Hell. He's terrified when hearing that she wants to try negotiating with angels about redeeming sinners and tries telling her it's a bad idea. After seeing the Hazbin Hotel in-person, he tells Charlie that he's proud of what she's accomplished and thinks he could do more good helping her with the hotel itself such as improving its safety features and providing perks for the residents. (It helps that Alastor prods his jealousy about having supported the hotel since its first day.) When Charlie insists that she has to try and demands to know why Lucifer doesn't want her to meet the angels, Lucifer finally breaks down and explains that he's scared of them breaking her the way they broke him. He agrees to schedule the meeting when Charlie reassures him she'll be fine, and ''ensures'' that no one can harm his daughter while she's in Heaven, but warns Charlie that he won't be able to go with her or provide backup support. {{spoiler|Season one ends with him helping repair the hotel and move into it.}}
* [[Red and Black and Evil All Over]]: These are the prevalent colors in the series, with both clothes and architecture in Hell almost exclusively red and black. This is even the case with more benevolent characters, like Charlie and Vaggie. Ironically, Lucifer himself is an exception, wearing a white suit. Interestingly, this was a case of [[Real Life Writes The Plot]], as the show started with one YouTube web animation where the developers had a limited budget and consequently, limited art resources.
* [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]]: Sir Pentious initially, but [[Heel Face Turn| he reforms later]].
