* ValuesDissonance:
** Shadwell has rather racist[[note]]and other -ist[[/note]] views for which his defense is "I'm a jerk to everybody and anybody, so that doesn't count as bigotry", two characters make homophobic comments, and Newt's Wasabi model car has a voice with an AsianSpeekeeEngrish accent. While the first two examples weren't really supposed to be positive and were more about demonstrating how ignorant said characters are, none of this would be considered very funny today. Creator/NeilGaiman himself has acknowledged that those moments haven't aged well since the time the book was published, and as a result they were removed from [[Series/GoodOmens2019 the series]].

* EvilIsSexy:
** War, a redheaded DarkActionGirl who is described as stunningly beautiful in the same way as a forest fire, and regularly has men fighting over her (though that is at least partly caused by her power).
** Pollution is youthful-looking and apparently quite attractive (in a creepy way of course).
** Crowley also has quite a lot of fangirls who see him as this. His many HoYay moments with Aziraphale definitely contribute to it.
