Line 53:
* [[Breakout Character]]: While Charlie is the protagonist, Alastor pretty much steals the show halfway through the pilot.
* [[Breakout Villain]]: Sir Pentious was originally just going to be a one-shot character [[The Chew Toy| for Angel Dust and Cherri Bomb to pound on]], but he became so entertaining that Viv decided to expand his role.
* [[Bullying a Dragon]]:
*
** There is also Alastor trolling Lucifer, the King of Hell, and hijacking his song. Considering what Lucifer does to {{spoiler|Adam}} in the first season finale, Alastor is either really brave or really stupid.
* [[Call Back]]: Deer-like [[Petting Zoo People]] appear frequently in ''[[Zootopia]]'', obviously the inspiration for Alastor.
* [[Canada, Eh?]]: VivziePop claimed in one livestream that this version of Hell has a town specifically for Canadians for... reasons.
* [[Cartoon Bomb]]: Cherri Bomb seems able to pull these out of [[Hammerspace]].
* [[Cassandra Truth]]: Both Vaggie and Lucifer warn Charlie that angels can't be reasoned with, or trusted. {{spoiler|Adam calls out Vaggie on the latter point since she hid from Charlie that she was a Fallen Angel.}}
* [[Cats Are Mean]]: Husk is a rude cat-like Sinner with a foul mouth. Supposedly, he used to be a soldier, he gambles, and is easily bribed by cheap booze. Later it is revealed he is a former Overlord who lost his position and power to Alastor in a game of cards.
* [[Chaos Is Evil]]: Vaggie claims Alastor is an unpredictable force of Chaos, the reason he's dangerous.
Line 136 ⟶ 139:
* [[Large Ham]]: Alastor's most prominent trait.
* [[Laughably Evil]]: All evil characters to date, especially Alastor.
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: The Hazbin Hotel staff and residents demonstrate this in the finale when {{spoiler|they prepare to defend themselves against Adam's army. It's the first time the Purges have a body count on the angel's side, with Alastor providing a forcefield that allows everyone to shoot at leisure. Husk shows that he is a master with magic cards, while Angel packs leads and is a crackshot. Sir Pentious serves as the lookout and launches a doomed but noble effort to fire Adam out of the sky. Vaggie wins her first round with Lute, resulting in the angel losing her arm. Even Charlie gets her moment when she makes Adam bleed and helps her dad punch him into the ground.}}
* [[Light Is Not Good]]:[[Our Angels Are Different| The Exorcists and their leaders Adam and Lute]], they are sadistic and violent [[Knight Templar]]s. (Vivzie [[Word of God| has confirmed that they are bloodthirsty killers]], very unlike any common depictions of angels.) Adam is as rude to Charlie as Katie was in the pilot, and are actually scheming to sabotage her efforts. He admits to her face that the annual purges are done for entertainment and at the end of episode 1, reveals he plans nothing less than genocide in retribution for the death of one of his soldiers.
* [[Mad Bomber]]: Cherri Bomb is more like a [[Crazy Awesome|Crazy Awesome Bomber]].
Line 165 ⟶ 169:
** 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]]: Carmilla as overlord. While she has no loyalty to Charlie or Lucifer, she is willing to {{spoiler|train Vaggie on how to kill an angel, after Vaggie proves that she is fighting not just to protect the hotel, but also her girlfriend. Carmilla refuses to put herself or her people on the frontlines for pragmatic reasons, but on hearing that the Hazbin Hotel will be the next Purge's target, she is willing to provide necessary support. When Vaggie's wings grow back after their sparring session, Carmilla gives a [[Grin of Audacity]] and supplies more than enough angelic weapons with her black market contacts.}}
* [[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.
* [[Riddle for the Ages]]:
** In-universe, it's revealed that ''no one'', not even the angels, know {{spoiler|how a soul gets into heaven. If Sera knows, she's not revealing it and justifies to Emily that things are more complicated than they seem.}}
** There is also how the heck Adam became such a douchebag. As the First Man, his worst sin was eating an apple when it was forbidden. He wasn't even the first murderer in life; that honor goes to his son Cain.
* [[The Rival]]: When Lucifer and Alastor first meet in episode 5, it takes them all of 15 seconds to despise each other, not helped by Alastor insinuating that he would be a better father to Charlie then Lucifer himself.
* [[Rousseau Was Right]]: Charlie truly seems to believe this, at least in regards to humans. Sadly, most of Hell has more of a Machiavellian outlook.
