History Recap / GoodOmensEpisode4SaturdayMorningFuntime

* SpottingTheThread: Hastur sees that Crowley is bluffing with the plant mister when a drop of water falls onto his trigger finger.

Armageddon begins to start, with phenomenons such as nuclear reactors vanishing, Atlantis rising from the ocean floor and the Kraken appearing. Adam begins to discover his abilities as the Antichrist. Aziraphale begins to have issues with the other angels, while Crowley has a date with the other demons.

* ActorAllusion: When Crowley says everything's gone pear-shaped, Aziraphale sadly says he likes pears. David Tennant's incarnation of The Doctor hates pears to such an extent that during a time where he had to live as a human undercover for a few months, he included a strong admonishment in his instructions to Martha Jones not to let him eat any. Though that portion of the video was not in the completed "Human Nature", it appeared in deleted scenes features, and Ten's dislike of pears since became a well-known and fondly remembered part of canon within the ''Doctor Who'' fandom and the series.

* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: While the courier assumes Pollution is male, the actor playing them is female, and God uses neutral pronouns to describe them.
* BadBoss: Hastur. A demon tells a joke, he burns that demon because "He doesn't like jokes", then burns another demon for mentioning Crowley's name, then when the third demon is nervously giving him the itinerary the other two were trying to give, he makes the same joke he burned the first demon for and laughs hysterically.

* DescriptionCut: Shadwell realizes he sent Newt into danger, and tells Madame Tracy that the witches could be doing all manner of horrifying, unimaginable things to him right now. Cut to Newt and Anathema having sex.

* ExactWords: Anathema knows a Witch Hunter is foretold to arrive at her doorstep in a "Robins blue chariot". However, not only is the "chariot" that specific shade of blue, but it's a [[TheAllegedCar Reliant Robin]].
* {{Fingore}}: When Hastur realizes the truth about Warlock, he angrily bites his pinky so hard it starts bleeding.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Newt asks if there are any relevant prophecies, Anathema gets embarrassed and says there's one about them, but it's nothing important.

* GeometricMagic: Aziraphale makes an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enochian_magic Enochian ritual circle]] on the floor of his shop in order to contact God directly. After Shadwell stumbles in on him using the circle and assumes he's some kind of demon, Aziraphale tries to reason with him but accidentally steps inside it while it's still active, which discorporates him.

* LackOfEmpathy: Metatron coldly tells Aziraphale that the point of the war is not to ''avoid'' it, but to ''win'' it, before casually listing the millions that shall die in the nuclear war once the apocalypse starts.
* MakeOutPoint: Before it became a trash-dump, the river where the Delivery Man finds Pollution was used not only as a recreation site to bring the kids, but a place to the delivery man had brought his wife to spoon and, on one occasion, "[[GoshDangitToHeck fork]]."
* MistakenForSuperpowered: Shadwell confuses Aziraphale for a witch when he sees the enochian circle he drew to contact God. When Aziraphale accidentally steps into the circle and gets discorporated, Shadwell thinks that his exorcism vaporized a demonic entity and for the rest of the series, he thinks that his finger is a WeaponOfMassDestruction.
* ModernizedGod: After Pestilence retired, he was replaced by Pollution who would go on to help the invention of petrol-engines, plastics and high-tech weed-killers.
* NewMediaAreEvil: Inverted. Adam cites that the fact that the various conspiracy theories in Anathema's magazines are more believable because they are in magazines instead of the internet.

* PunnyName: The name Hastur chooses when with the American Ambassador is "[[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay Hastur LaVista]]."

*** Other ''Doctor Who'' alumni make guest appearances in this episode. Derek Jacobi (Metatron) played The Master in "Utopia," David Morrissey (Captain Vincent) played Jackson Lake in "The Next Doctor".
*** About 34 minutes in, the short passerby who tells the angel "You're better off without him" is Dan Starkey, who played the Sontaran Commander Skorr in "The Sontaran Strategem" (from the Tennant run) as well as Strax from the Praternoster Gang of Matt Smith's tenure.
** The Kraken bares a strong resemblance to the Kraken from ''Film/ClashOfTheTitans1981''. Crowley and Aziraphale refer to krakens in the first episode, but given that it bares a resemblance to the Kraken from Anathema's magazines, it is very likely that this kraken does not resemble real ones and was created by Adam's RealityWarping powers.

* SpottingTheThread: Hastur sees Crowley is bluffing with the plant mister when a drop of water falls onto his trigger finger.

* SucksAtDancing: According to God, demons aren't very good dancers, but that doesn't stop them from doing it anyway. Angels, however, don't dance at all -- with the exception of Aziraphale, who learned the gavotte in the 19th century and had gotten quite good before it went permanently out of style.

* WitchHunt: Aziraphale makes an Enochian ritual circle on the floor with the intent of contacting a "higher authority", successfully contacting Metatron. Shadwell then sees it and thinks he's a witch or demon.

* PunnyName: The name Hastur chooses when with the American Ambassador is "Hastur [=LaVista=]."

* PunnyName: The name Hastur chooses when with the American Ambassador is "Hastur [=LeVista=]."

* ActorAllusion: A possibly unintentional one. When Newt reports encountering aliens to Shadwell, he tells him to forget aliens and concentrate on witches. Shadwell is played by Creator/MichaelMcKean, and one of his previous roles had him [[Film/{{Coneheads}} chasing aliens]].

* GeometricMagic: Aziraphale makes an Enochian ritual circle on the floor of his shop in order to contact God directly. After Shadwell stumbles in on him using the circle and assumes he's some kind of demon, Aziraphale tries to reason with him but accidentally steps inside it while it's still active, which discorporates him.

* MakeOutPoint: Before it became a trash-dump, the river where the Delivery Man finds Pollution was used to only as a recreation site to bring the kids, but a place to bring dates for hand-holding, making-out, spooning and "[[GoshDangitToHeck fork]]."

* SucksAtDancing: A distinguishing characteristic of angels. The only exception to this is Aziraphale, who learned how to dance the gavotte in the 1880s. Demons can't dance either, but that doesn't stop them from doing it anyway.

* AndIMustScream: Adam uses his powers to force his human friends to sit with him, listening to him talk about destroying everyone and everything they love, he takes away their mouths when he doesn't like what they have to say and then returns their mouths only to make them smile in uncomfortable rictus grins.

* BadBoss: Hastur. A demon tells a joke, he burns that demon because "He doesn't like jokes", then burns another demon for mentioning Crowley's name, then when the third demon is nervously giving him the itinerary the other two were trying to give, he makes the same joke he burned the first demon for and laughs.

* FreezeFrameBonus: When Crowley is going through the pages of an astronomy book, trying to find a new home after Armageddon, one of the pages shows Gallifrey, even listing it by name.

* OhCrap: Newt jokingly asks Anathema when the Apocalypse is coming. Then she looks at the ''clock''.
