* NewTechIsNotCheap: Subverted. Mammon, the embodiment of greed, is selling a multi-functional robot that can serve as a passable imitation of a fully living imp for just $69.99.
** It's possible the economics in Hell make $70 a prohibitively expensive purchase for most families, but assuming the value of the dollar is the same in life and in Hell, Mammon is most likely exploiting the monopoly he has on production and the low overhead of exploiting his workers to massively increase the volume of sales while maintaining a high return on individual models. Basically, he can sell $70 robots to a hundred families to make $7,000 rather than selling a $700 robot to one family.

* PaedoHunt: It's not really clear how old Fizz, Blitzo, or Arick are during the flashback scene, but Blitzo is young enough to have dental braces and Fizz is about the same age, while Arick is old enough to have the beginnings of facial hair, implying there's at least a couple years' gap. Fizz is definitely young enough for it to be gross for ''anyone'' to be sneaking around his dressing room and demanding romantic interaction from him, but an age gap makes it even worse. Everyone in the crowd also seems creeped out when Mammon goes on a rant insisting making sex dolls of his contest winners isn't weird after he just invited kids to enter it.

* BitchAlert: Glitz and Glam are introduced acting haughty while talking down and insulting Fizzaroli while he tries to be polite with them. Soon enough they start insulting ''each other'', showing they're such unpleasant bitches that they themselves can barely get along [[SuperiorTwinTeamwork despite being a talented twin team]]. Their bitchiness is eeven enough to make the usually aloof Blitzo take an interest in the competition.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: "Good" is a bit subjective in this case since Asmodeus is still a demon of Hell and one of the Seven Deadly Sins. However, he is still portrayed as a protagonist and has a moral high ground over Mammon, who is the main antagonist of the episode. Mammon tries to blackmail Asmodeus by threatening to reveal the secret that he and Fizz are dating, only to be surprised when Asmodeus outright declares to love Fizz in front of thousands of witnesses, and all of those witnesses reacting positively to the news by sharing their thoughts online while giving fangirl cries of "I knew it!" Mammon is left only able to say "Well... shit." at losing his leverage.

Added DiffLines:

* FlippingTheBird:
** Glitz and Glam flip off Flizz when telling him how they plan to win at the end of their first meeting.
** At the start of Fizz's "2 Minutes Notice" routine, when he declares he is "standing on top of the world, with some bitches to defeat" the spotlight moves to Glitz and Glam, who are watching from backstage. The two are momentarily stunned before flipping Fizz off for the insult and shutting the curtain.
** Fizz constantly gives the middle finger during his "2 Minutes Notice" routine, and when Mammon confronts him over quitting he gives Mammon two middle fingers as he mocks him and walks away.
