** Mother Theresa recommends that the Mrs. Dowling name their son "[[Film/TheOmen Damien]]."
** Crowley's disguise looks suspiciously similar to Film/MaryPoppins, including carrying around a hand-bag and an umbrella with a parrot-head for a handle and being a nanny that miraculously appears.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Mr. and Mrs. Young showing up at the convent was a complete surprise for the Chattering Order, with none of them the wiser on just how big of an impact their presence really has. When Crowley drops off TheAntichrist, Mr. Young specifies that the birth (of his child, not the American) tells him the birth is happening in Room 3, thus causing the big baby-switcheroo that caused this whole mess.
* SuddenlySober: When Aziraphale and Crowley gets sick of their inebriated states, they will themselves into being sober, every bottle they drank out of magically refilling themselves and leaving a bad taste in their mouths.
* TakeThat: Aziraphale is unimpressed that TheAntichrist is supposed to be raised by an American diplomat "as if [[DisasterMovie Armageddon were a cinematic graphic show you wished to sell in as many countries as possible.]]"
* WeirdnessCensor: Aziraphale asks if anyone would notice a large hellhound suddenly appearing to be Warlock's guard, Crowley remarks that his RealityWarping abilities will prevent suspicion.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: We don't get confirmation on what happened to the Young's ''real'' child, but God claims that "it would be nice to think" that the nuns had him discreetly adopted where he grew up to be a prize-winning fisher uninvolved in anything supernatural.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: One of the points Crowley makes about the apocalypse is that once its done, there will be nothing left for any of them to do ''forever.''
--> '''Crowley''': And you know what's worse? When it's all over, you've got to deal with '''''[[SuddenlyShouting ETERNITYYYYYYYYYY]]!!!'''''
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Crowley disguises himself as a nanny to be Warlock's "bad influence."
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: As soon as the Youngs and the Dowlings leave, Hastur dissolves them. When they voice their concerns, Hastur kills Theresa and burns down the convent ForTheEvulz.
* LoopholeAbuse: Crowley manages to convince Aziraphale to help him thwart the end of the world by arguing that while Aziraphale cannot go against the divine plan, he is obligated to thwart whatever evil any demon (including him) is up to, so if Crowley where to try and corrupt Warlock, Aziraphale has to step in and prevent it.
* MagiciansAreWizards: Being an angel, Aziraphale can do ''actual'' magic in the form of miracles, but is ''terrible'' at [[StageMagician stage magic]]. He insists on doing slight of hand because a) he gets complaints from his superiors that he frivolously uses miracles as is, and b) because it's more fun that way.
* NatureVersusNurture: Crowley argues that they could potentially thwart the apocalypse by making sure that TheAntichrist is raised properly, Crowley volunteering to be the bad influence that Aziraphale is obligated to thwart.
* OhCrap: Aziraphale and Crowley's reactions when they are told that the {{Hellhound}} has been released and hey have yet to see it.

Aziraphale and Crowley have been enemies for years. Well, more like millenia - see, they are the ones on Earth at the very beginning, following humanity throughout the years.

** For Aziraphale, he had just given Adam his flaming sword so that he and Eve can survive out in the wilderness and then shields Crowley (his assigned enemy) from the rain while offering up a friendly chat. This establishes that not only is he predisposed to be an affable NiceGuy, but he is like this in a manner that defies his duties as a member of Heaven's armies (since giving someone else his flaming sword is a massive no-no) and as an enemy of demon-kind (as his friendly conversation with Crowley would indicate).
** For Crowley, he has just finished tempting Eve with the apple, leading to her becoming pregnant and she and Adam leaving the garden. Crowley (then named Crawley) watches them leave the garden alongside Aziraphale, he remarks how knowing the difference between good and evil (which is what eating the apple granted Adam and Eve) does not seem as big a deal as everyone claims it to be. When Aziraphale points out that Crowley wanting it to happen makes it evil by design, Crowley waves it off as just wanting to "make some trouble," then going on to poke holes in the setting (like the location of the tree). This establishes that while Crowley does take some delight in the strife he sows, it is [[PunchClockVillain more of a job to him]] and he is willing to question the ethics of what they do (unlike other angels and demons, who are fully committed to objective morality).
