* Creator/{{Pochik}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFcTikZySkI animatic]] of Paranoid DJ's ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'' fan song "Smile Like You Mean It (Alastor's Offer)" ends with the pig demon, in his haste to get away from Alastor, climbing down a ladder that comes loose and starts to fall. Alastor grabs the ladder, keeping it from falling, then extends a hand to the pig demon as he is dangling over a deadly drop and once again offers to make a deal with him.
