-->-- '''Charlie''', pilot

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

The colourful cast is rounded out with Creator/KeithDavid as misanthropic bartender Husk, Creator/KimikoGlenn as neat freak Niffty, Creator/AlexBrightman as both tryhard villain Sir Pentious and the first human Adam, Krystina Alabado as spunky anarchist Cherri Bomb, WebVideo/BrandonRogers as 666 News anchor Katie Killjoy, Creator/ChristianBorle as technomancer Vox, Lilli Cooper as his selfie fiend associate Velvette, Joel Perez as Angel Dust's pimp Valentino and Creator/JeremyJordan as Charlie's father and ruler of Hell, Lucifer Morningstar. [[Music/TheLivingTombstone Sam Haft]], Andrew Underberg, Evan Alderete, and Creator/{{Gooseworx}} compose the soundtrack.

* CastingGag: In the Japanese dub, Creator/RisaShimizu, as Charlie, pulls this thrice: Not only she had voiced [[Series/GameOfThrones more]] [[Franchise/{{Frozen}} traditional]] [[WesternAnimation/OnceUponAStudio princesses]], she also had voiced another character named ''Charlotte'' in ''Manga/KaiketsuZorori''.

* MusicalWorldHypothesis: It's implied that Lilith, and by extension Charlie, have the power to turn the world around them into a type 1. We see Charlie apparently have some reality warper powers during her song in the pilot that were picked up by the cameras. The StorybookOpening for the first official episode said Lilith empowered demon kind with her voice and passed on her dream to her daughter.

* SirSwearsALot: Most characters swear quite often, including Charlie despite her being depicted baiscally as an out-of place Disney princess-style character. In season one alone minus the pilot, the amount of swears throughout the whole thing is 302.

* WhatIsEvil: [[spoiler: Turns out to be a central OntologicalMystery of the show: even the highest-ranked angels have no idea what actually qualifies someone to enter Heaven, and the best they can do is [[TautologicalTemplar construct a rough model of goodness based on the kind of people that seem to end up in Heaven]]. It's pretty strongly implied that trying to [[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow figure out specifics]] was part of what drove Lucifer to the events that led to [[FallenAngel his fall]] in the first place.]]

** In the pilot, multiple characters that have been revealed for the series in promotional material, but have yet to be properly introduced at that point in the show proper, make some cameos:

* AerithAndBob: On one hand you have names like Husk, Vaggie, and Crymini, and on the other you have names like Tom, Baxter, and Charlie. "Angel Dust" is confirmed by WordOfGod to be a stage name for [[spoiler:Anthony]], raising the possibility that many demons had more typical names in life and now use pseudonyms.

** Vaggie's is ([[InformedAttribute allegedly]]) moths.

** Lucifer has both snakes and waterfowl, especially ducks.

* AsideGlance: Tom Trench gives a brief one when Charlie starts singing.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: Adam considering the Exterminations to be entertainment is considered a sign of his own personal sadism. But there really are Christian philosophers who have argued that one of the greatest rewards of Heaven will be to see God's justice done by watching the punishment of the sinners in Hell.

** In the official LyricVideo for "Poison", the "poison"s in the chorus have the second "O" replaced by a spinning skull.

* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Near the end of "You Didn't Know", Adam, along with Lute, reveals to Charlie and the whole court that Vaggie was a ex-exterminator.]]
-->'''Adam''': What's the fuss? [[spoiler:Why hide the fact that you'e an angel just like us?]]

* Too a lesser extant, Adam pronouncing Vaggie's name with a soft 'g' could be seen as someone intentionally deadnaming a trans person.
