* {{Tearjerker}}: Satan trying to crush the Professor's spirit by convincing him his wife has already moved on and is having sex with the only man he ever hated. Even ''Satan'' regrets doing it afterward, and Thomas nearly (''nearly'') apologises to him about it.

Cutting the woobie entry for re-evaluation. If anyone wants this back, please use the Woobie Cleanup Thread. Also cutting the MB entry and taking it to the cleanup


* JerkassWoobie; Satan, many times throughout the series.
* MagnificentBastard: Satan manages to avert a [[spoiler: demon rebellion]] by pointing out [[spoiler: that if they rushed him at once, about half of them would survive. The second half. Naturally, none of the striking demons are eager to be first, and Satan manages to stop the rebellion and put the check-in demons back to work in one stroke.]]

* GeniusBonus: In one episode, Satan tries to attract God's wrath by saying "you only picked the Jews as your chosen people because you knew the Welsh didn't want you!" Listeners familiar with Jewish tradition will note that this is very similar to the explanation given in an actual *midrash*, which states that the Jews were actually the people God ''least'' wanted to receive the Torah, but every other nation found its rules too burdensome.

-->'''Scumspawn''': I love you. I don't fancy you. No, that would be physical and weird and probably quite dangerous. No, I love you in the widest possible emotional sense.
