Why would there be an ocean in Greed? In real life, the oceans are full of resources that are often exploited for profit, such as fish, seaweed and pearls. A greedy bastard like Mammon would no doubt want an ocean full of fish and resources to exploit.

* While driving from the school to her house to punish her cheating husband, Mrs. Mayberry drives her car through a white picket fence. It's just a gag, but "2.4 children and a white picket fence" is a common saying used to describe the American dream of having an idyllic family life, married with children and a nice house. When Jarold cheated on her, it destroyed their dreams of having a family and their future together.

* Mammon does to a limited extent incarnates some (relatively) positive posture about greed: he's result oriented. Because he prioritizes whatever gives him the best results (AKA: Money and sales) he's willing to discard any potentially undesirable belief: he discards the idea of women not being funny once Glitz and Glam's play impressed him, his events have no arbitrarily entrance requirements so imps and lower classes can get in without a fuss, [[KnowWhenToFoldEm and avoids indulging in collateral damage knowing he'll have to fix the place aftewards.]] Contrast with the other sins which, if weren't because their incarnations are AffablyEvil, would capable of accept bigotry, short-sighteness or even pointless hedonism if weren't because Lucifer, Asmodeus and Beelzebub take a DoWrongRight approach. [[EnlightenedSelfInterest Mammon would reject indulging into discrimination or pointless destruction if only because those things are largely unprofitable, even if he's still not a good person at all.]]

** The other possibility is that rehab clinics are only for hellborn and not for dead sinners; Hell has been shown to be ultra-capitalistic and based on deal-making. The rehab clinics are there to make the demon useful for whoever owns them and to turn said demon into a FunctionalAddict, not to make them completely clean and sin free. Basically, Verosika was there because she is so addicted to alcohol she couldn't perform on stage and whoever is in charge let her out on probation to do a job for them. Which makes her words technically true: Verosika only got the probation deal because she is a bigger star than Blitzo's sister and thus more valuable to whoever holds her contract. That leads to another bit of fridge brilliance: the reason Verosika accepted Millie's blackmail about the hell-booze is because she didn't want to be sent back to rehab and that's literally the best case scenario for her: if she causes enough problems for Hell's higher ups, they might conclude that she is more trouble than she is worth and cannot be rehabilitated enough to be useful. As a consequence, they could decide to cut their losses and kill her, even making it look like an accident for that sweet insurance and fan money on merchandise that would roll in after her "tragic" death.
* Drunk Moxxie actually makes a good point when he tells Verosika; "A human called me a possum.... I am NOT a possum!". All the humans are so drunk or high that they are unable to make sense of what the Imps really are, mistaking them as a leprechaun and a possum, so they technically upheld the {{Masquerade}} much better than Verosika did. She performs a loud, obvious concert after quickly taking over a public venue (her banner on the stage is a crude tarp instead of something more professional), and causes some giant and ''Hellish'' sea monster to nearly rampage through a coastal town. I.M.P.'s kills can be easily passed off as Spring Break crimes and any witnesses are "obviously" hallucinating, but that sea monster can't be explained away.

** Beelzebub makes honey like a bee but looks more like a butterfly. Beelzebub is traditionally called the "Lord of the Flies", which could cover multiple flying insects. It also references the old saying about catching more flies with honey than vinegar.

* Stolas says his powers are limited in the mortal world without his grimoire. That might explain why he possessed Agent 2 and summoned himself in "Truth Seekers" as it counted as "in Hell."

* Fizz's nickname "Froggy" isn't just a cute pet name Ozzie gave him based on his "froggy" voice - ''it's his AnimalMotif''. Not only does he physically resemble one (his cheek circles and pointy-lipped grin bear more than a passing resemblance to a frog's mouth and "ears"), he shares their tendency for energetically springing and leaping around from place to place with his robotic limbs!

* Stolas being so powerful fits nicely into the world-building of the series if you know about his lore. According to Viv, angels are more powerful than demons which is why Lucifer is Hell's ruler and according to the ''Literature/ArsGoetia'', Stolas himself if also a FallenAngel who was cast down in Lucifer's failed rebellion. Granted, "The Circus" put that idea to rest but the overall point still stands as Stolas is still of heaven descent.

* For all her friendliness, Bee's lyrics noticeably contain one rather worrying line: " I'm what you want, ''not what you need.''" This is a subtle way to remind viewers that, despite how incredibly friendly and benevolent Bee may ''seem'' to be in this episode, she's still the [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Queen of Gluttony]]. All the things she gives people are things they want, but not what they actually ''need''.
