* PunchClockVillain: Strictly speaking most of the demons have [[NothingPersonal no personal grudge]] against Stan and Evie. They go after them just to appease Eccles. In at least one case a demon seems to believe he can use their deaths to buy back his human life, and then take up the fight against Eccles himself.

Added DiffLines:
* EveryoneHasStandards: Stan is a heavy drinker and delights in what is often considered an unhealthy diet, but he does not smoke; he uses profanity but usually not a common one beginning with the letter 'f', and every sort of personal insult but never a common such implying a developmental disorder. (The last may be due to actor Creator/JohnCMcGinley's activism in that area.)
