''And then tomorrow it will be a fucking happy day in Hell!''

* ShownTheirWork: The [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/634/071/157.png sigils]] that Alastor produces are actual representations of the symbols of the Haitian Vodun deities Loko, Kalfou, Santa Muerte, and Papa Legba.
** In addition, the radio distortion on his voice varies between the English and Japanese dubs, based primarily on the kind of radio technology available in the respective region during the period Alastor was alive.

* CrapsackWorld: It's Hell, what do you expect? Almost every denizen is an unrepentant jerk and every year, the population is culled to hinder overpopulation. Charlie is the only demon who wants to find a more humane way of dealing with Hell's overpopulation. Meanwhile, Heaven is willing to enact these culls, makes no effort to help Charlie's efforts, [[EasyRoadToHell allows people to be damned for things as minor as watching porn and being a screaming baby]], and [[WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss there's a group of imps who use a grimoire that allows access to the mortal world (and do this on a frequent enough basis that a small startup company can be made from it) to do horrible things to innocent people at the behest of damned souls and nothing is done about it]].

--->'''Adam:''' ''(to Vaggie)'' Did you really think I wouldn't recognize [[spoiler:[[FallenAngel one of my top girls]] just because she's out of uniform?]]

* ThePowerOfLove: Carmilla credits this as the crucial factor that allows her to [[spoiler: kill an angel]], and advises Vaggie to tap into it in the song "Out For Love".

* HumanoidAbomination: Essentially all of the more powerful angels and demons [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith appear humanoid]]. However, when they go OneWingedAngel, they take on numerous inhuman traits. Sera and Emily have [[AngelicAbomination dozens of eyes]] [[EyesDoNotBelongThere in all the wrong places]]. Lucifer and Charlie grow devil horns and tails. And Alister is, well, Alister. Since everyone is a manifestation of a soul, transformations are to be expected, and the stronger you are, the more you transform.

* DragonsAreDemonic: A few of the background demons have vaguely draconic designs. One such example is a dragon-like demon in a leather jacket seen watching Charlie's interview in a bar.

** Charlie's full name in the pilot is Charlie Magne -- a reference to the Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne. In the series, it's Charlie Morningstar -- a reference to the morning star used to guide people's way in the darkness. With the star, it's literal; with Charlie, it's metaphorical.

* SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale: The Living World is implied to be similar to our own. In our world 60 million people die every year, and 110 billion humans have lived and died, with all but 10 billion living in the past 10,000 years. Neither Heaven nor Hell seem to be built for those kinds of numbers, and the numbers mentioned in dialogue don't even come close.

''Hazbin Hotel'' is a 2024 adult animated musical [[BlackComedy Black]] [[HorrorComedy Horror]] {{Dramedy}} television series created by Creator/VivienneMedrano, and produced by her [=SpindleHorse=] Toons studio in collaboration with Bento Box Entertainment.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In something of a carry-over from the Pilot, the first episode has Vaggie and Angel comment on Charlie randomly bursting into song and dance as though it's unusual. As the show leans into being a musical, this no longer happens in later episodes.

SelfInflictedHell: Other than the yearly exterminations, the only torment of Hell seems to be the abuse the damned inflict on themselves and each other.

* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: When Alastor shows of his GameFace [[DoNotAdjustYourSet the screen goes staticy]].

* SelfInflictedHell: Other than the yearly exterminations, the only torment of Hell seems to be the abuse the damned inflict on themselves and each other.

** From the same episode, after seeing Angel Dust's CharacterDevelopment, Emily questions why he isn't in Heaven now. The silence that follows makes Charlie realize the following line, that [[spoiler:Heaven is as much in the dark as Hell on how/why a soul gets sent to either afterlife]].

-->''We'll make a difference, wait and see''
--> ''We're gonna do this, you and me''
--> ''And then tomorrow it will be a fucking happy day in Hell!''
