* CoolAndUnusualPunishment / WaitingInQueue: After Crowley took over Hell, he made an endless line consisting of millions of people the standard punishment. No agonizing torture like what Dean experienced during his time there, and instead of FireAndBrimstoneHell we get what looks like a long hallway that contains a line that requires people who reach the front to go all the way to the back of the line again.

* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: There is a multitude of heavens whose form is established by the human souls within it, and the Angels live within whatever of these individual heavens they prefer. Castiel's favourite heaven is a beautiful garden created by an autistic man. Archangel Rafael's heaven is the office of a CorruptCorporateExecutive who repented.

to:

* TowerOfBabelTowerOfBabel: Castiel remembers when the Tower Of Babel fell...all thirty-five feet of it. And it didn't fall because of divine retribution, it fell because dried dung can only be stacked so high.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: When Castiel tells him not to worry about the Winchesters, Crowley's almost outraged and spits out a list of super-powered heavyweights that said the same thing about them, all of whom are either dead or locked away at the Winchesters' hands. All by two human boys who "shouldn't have been any trouble for them."

* EvilCounterpart: In [[Recap/SupernaturalS06E20TheManWhoWouldBeKing The Man Who Would Be King]], we briefly meet the demon Ellsworth, who Castiel describes as being Bobby's counterpart. Not only does he sort of look like Bobby, complete with trucker cap, but we see him handling multiple calls with his minions in much the same way Bobby is seen handling calls with hunters (he even pretends to be an FBI agent to back up one's cover story, just like Bobby does all the time). And he calls one of his under-demons a "frickin' yeti", when Bobby and Dean refer to Sam as "sasquatch".
