History Recap / DisenchantmentS2E2StairwayToHell

* {{Mooning}}: Elfo does this to God in an attempt to get send to hell.

* PortraitPaintingPeephole: Zøg cuts some holes in a tapestry of himself but gets the alignment off.

* KickedOutOfHeaven: After waking up in Heaven, Elfo receives a message from Bean and Luci that he needs to go to Hell so they can bring him back to life. Initially, Elfo asks God to cast him to Hell, but He refuses since Elfo is [[IncorruptiblePurePureness far too good of a person]]. Then he tries being rude enough to get kicked out, but God easily sees through it... at least until Elfo makes a passing rude comment towards a [[UnacceptableTargets severely mentally handicapped man]], which gets him immediately and ''brutally'' thrown to Hell. Although, the ending of the episode reveals that this was God's plan all along.

Zog, alone in the kingdom, finds Merkimer, and the two hit off out of loneliness. While they are resting the Bozaks attack, still mad about the death of their admiral by Merkimer. While the two hide, the invaders end up finding Merkimer and taking him to turn into lunch. Zog gets his battle axe, and moved by the smell of bacon, finally fights the invaders.

* ActorAllusion: When [[Creator/JohnDiMaggio Zog]] attacks, he yells for them to bite his [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} shiny metal axe]].

* PortraitPaintingPeephole: Zog guts some holes in a tapestry of himself but gets the alignment off.

!Tropes

* HeroicSacrifice: Luci gives up his immortality and the Power-Ups he got during his FakeDefector gambits to save Bean and Luci from Hell.
-->'''Asmodium''': Leave now and you lose your powers, your immortality, your parking space. Everything!\\

** Elfo also gives up Heaven to reunite with Bean and will likely be damned when he dies again. [[spoiler:Though it's later implied that God was just testing him.]]

* PokeThePoodle: God laughs off Elfo's lame attempts to be offensive, which are transparently insincere. To be fair, he also implies his good intention (wanting to help Bean) also prevents his actions from being irredeemable. When Elfo genuinely insults Jerry, God deems that a Hell-worthy offense, so Elfo thanks Him on the way down. [[spoiler:Once again, it's later implied that God was just playing along.]]

* CallTheOldManOut: Jerry calls out God for letting Elfo get resurrected and not him - and also for all the bad things he has created like cancer or malaria.

In Heaven, Jerry is angry at God for letting Elfo ressurrect and not him, procceding God for not working, creating cancer, malaria, etc.

* ContinuityNod: Bean meets Hamsel and Gretel again, in their personal hell, they are forced to re-watch their deaths over and over.

** The first instance is when Asmodium catches Luci and Bean with the Book of the Dead. Luci seemingly sells Bean out for a promotion to a Level 2 demon. This is because a Level 2 demon has wings and is able travel in and out of people’s personal hells, so this way he could get Bean and Elfo together in the same room and fly them out of hell without anybody else noticing.
** Secondly, Luci drops Elfo and Bean into a river of lava, giving him a Level 4 demon promotion. This gives him enough strength, speed, and flying ability to catch Elfo and Bean before the get consumed by lava and get them out of hell.

Bean and Luci get to the Book of the Dead, only to be cornered by Asmodium. Luci turns on Bean, delivering her and Elfo to him and getting a promotion, which gives him wings. Both Bean and Elfo are dragged to their personal hell, where they relieve their worst moment over and over. It turns out that they're both locked together, being forced to watch the moment that bean chose to bring back her mother instead of reviving a dead Elfo. The two have a fight that ends when Luci comes back, revealing his plan of making them suffer in order to get more power and be able to burst them out of Hell. Luci is able to just barely fly them away, when Asmodium finds them, he trows Elfo and Bean into a river of lava in order to get promoted again, this time bigger and more powerful, is able to fly them off into the real world, but losing his powers and immortality in the process.
