* IronicHell: Hell in the story is basically this. Aside from the general torments of torture and mutilation inflicted by demons, the sinners are also inflicted with punishments having to do with their sins (like a pedophile being set upon by monster children). It's also a bit of SelfInflictedHell as the sinners choose where they go but unlike the Creator/NeilGaiman version from ''ComicBook/TheSandman'' in which people are condemned by their own guilt (so innocent people can damn themselves or be tricked into going to hell), people who die are shown the absolute truth of who and what they were, a truth so powerful that, in Wormwood's words, "cannot be denied. Not even by the truly insane" and afterwards know where they have to go. Later on, Pope Jacko, who had become the lord of Hell, states that for most, this realisation is the worst part of hell. Knowing, with absolute certainty, that you are a monster and deserve to be in hell.

* MasturbationMeansSexualFrustration: [[LoserDeity God]] is insane (and stated to have gone nuts shortly after giving free will to humanity), appearing as a GrandpaGod constantly masturbating with one hand under his robes. Even after [[spoiler: he and Satan are impaled on the Spear of Longinus and cast adrift through space]] he's still going at it.

** While one assumes that other souls that committed similar atrocities in Heaven's name are receiving similar "heavenly rewards", this trope is very much averted for most souls. While Jimmy complains that Heaven's endless peace is boring, Danny assures him that that's only because they're visiting. The souls of the dead are more in tune with the place, and are genuinely happy. If nothing else, they can entertain each other:
