History Trivia / HelluvaBoss

* ExiledFromContinuity: WordOfGod has confirmed there will not be much crossover between this and ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'' outside of small cameos[[note]]such as Loona watching Charlie's song on her computer in the pilot, or Travis's brief background appearance in “Spring Broken”[[/note]] due to the latter being picked up by a network in the form of Creator/{{A24}}, and the former being a simple [=YouTube=] series, which means we probably won't be seeing a Charlie vs. Blitzo confrontation.

** [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=oXgIyBN3hnE&t=1320 Blitzo and Moxxie were originally]] intended to be supporting characters in ''Hazbin Hotel'', but Viv was worried that with all the other side characters, there wouldn't be much room for them. Thus, ''Helluva Boss''.

** Like the ''Hazbin'' cast, [[CharacterBlog several characters had their own Instagram accounts, where official artwork was uploaded and presented as actual posts the characters had made]]. This included Octavia, Stolas' teenage daughter. Unfortunately, Octavia is a favorite of many fans, and the account was quickly bombarded with porn featuring her (and on the squickier side, occasionally featuring her ''[[ParentalIncest and her father]]''). The manager of the account finally got sick of it around January 2021 and [[https://www.reddit.com/r/HelluvaBoss/comments/kz9fd0/the_via_situation/ archived the account]], even breaking character in both Octavia and Stolas' accounts to explain that they were incredibly uncomfortable with how the fandom was behaving.

* WordOfSaintPaul: After a heated debate regarding Stolas' genitals was revived and trended on Twitter a week before the premiere of "The Circus", the storyboard lead of Helluva Boss and storyboard artist for Hazbin Hotel [[https://twitter.com/R2ninjaturtle/status/1550610667002011649 tweeted out]] (with Viv's permission) that Stolas indeed has a cloaca. Six hours later, the show's [[https://twitter.com/IMPmurderpros/status/1550704706149687296 twitter]] mentioned that they saw Stolas trending for "reasons."

* WriterConflictsWithCanon: On November 18, 2023, Viv [[https://twitter.com/VivziePop/status/1725566557320028525 tweeted out]] that the pilot is non-canon to the rest of the series. This comes after previous episodes indicated that [[BroadStrokes the pilot did happen with some details changing]], such as Blitzo asking if they got "that insurance thing" in ''C.H.E.R.U.B'' and, most notably, a shot of the imps getting thrown out the hospital in ''Truth Seekers'' when the D.H.O.R.K.S were monitoring footage of I.M.P's previous missions.

** For the original English series.

* CreatorsFavorite: Vivienne proclaimed Deerie the angel from "C.H.E.R.U.B." as her favorite character, talking about how much she enjoyed voicing her. In fact, she has had Deerie set as her profile picture on social media.

** In November 2023, she [[https://twitter.com/VivziePop/status/1728902261169123653 responded]] to the criticism of the show's excessive use of profanity and sex jokes after an edit of WebAnimation/TheAmazingDigitalCircus featuring them as a TakeThat gained traction on Twitter. She claims that she doesn't agree with the criticism and finds them funny, mentioning that she was influenced by Creator/SethRogen comedies and shows like WesternAnimation/SouthPark. The user who made the edit claimed that she blocked him as well.

* FakeBrit: Creator/BrockBaker and Bryce Pinkham use a British accent for Stolas. This also applies to Barrett Wilbert Weed as his daughter Octavia, and Jonathan Freeman (recycling his [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Jafar]] voice) as his father Paimon,

* DearNegativeReader:

* AllStarCast: From several angles -- the cast is made up of veteran voice actors (Creator/RichardStevenHorvitz, Creator/EricaLindbeck, Creator/CristinaValenzuela, Creator/EricaLuttrell), Broadway stars ([[Theatre/AGentlemansGuideToLoveAndMurder Bryce Pinkham]], [[Theatre/MeanGirls Barrett Wilb]][[Theatre/{{Heathers}} ert Weed]], [[Theatre/{{Beetlejuice}} Alex Brightman]], Creator/JamesMonroeIglehart, [[Theatre/{{Aladdin}} Jonathan Freeman]]), various other well-known actors (WebVideo/BrandonRogers, Creator/MaraWilson, Creator/JinkxMonsoon, Creator/NormanReedus), and even [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking pop stars]] (Music/{{Kesha}}).

* AscendedFanfic: The fan song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrZ2vqVPTFM Just Look My Way]]" by [=PARANOiD DJ=] is a song about Stolas [[StarCrossedLovers pining for Blitzø]]. This song would eventually receive an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rATbtwj1qls official animated music video]], sung by Stolas' voice actor and animated in the show's typical style.

** As of “The Circus”, Blitzo is credited as "Blitzø", which fans had adopted during the first season, to distinguish the "silent 'o'" pronunciation of his name from the original pronunciation his enemies use.

** Vivziepop voices the male demon client and Monica Franco voices Counselor Jimmy in episode "Unhappy Campers".

** A youtuber by the name of Schjiro had made videos compiling animation errors for almost all of the episodes released so far[[note]]as of October 5th, 2023, they have yet to do Western Energy and Unhappy Campers[[/note]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO_nBE6vo1iWuY70OZU0HuDERLBLSU-dZ Season 1 can be found here]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO_nBE6vo1iUq90N-oc406gULd6C_5Qjn Season 2 can be found here]]
*** A consistent animation error pointed out in the videos above is Blitzo's horns consistingly switches from being smooth curved to edged curved

* ActorSharedBackground: While her husband Stolas and daughter Octavia are voiced by {{fake Brit}}s, Stella is the only member of the Goetia family to be voiced by an actual British actress in the form of Georgina Leahy.

*** Striker is voiced by Creator/NormanReedus ([[HeAlsoDid yes]], THAT [[VideoGame/DeathStranding Norman Reedus]]) in "The Harvest Moon Festival" and Creator/EdwardBosco in "Western Energy" and "Oops" due to scheduling conflicts.

* IKnewIt:
** Many in the fanbase had predicted that Stolas and Stella were in an ArrangedMarriage before “The Circus” confirmed it.
** Many in the fanbase had also predicted the exact circumstances of Loona's adoption - that Blitzo had adopted her because he saw how alone she was.
** One of the most persistent theories was that Blitzo accidentally destroyed his family circus, by fire, resulting in the white mark over his right eye, Fizz’s limbs being destroyed, and the death of Blitzo and Barbie’s mother. "OOPS" confirms this was indeed the case.

** "Queen Bee" features none other than {{Music/Kesha}} herself as Queen Bee-lzebub.

* MissingEpisode: After “OZZIE’S” aired, nearly eight months passed before it was announced that Episode 8 of Season 1 would not air and that they would skip straight to airing Season 2. Their explanation was that forces "literally out of [their] control" they would not be able to air Episode 8, and that Episode 8 wasn't very plot-critical and was more of a visual spectacle intended to cap off season 1. They mentioned that episode 8 will be repackaged as a special and it was finally released on June 24, 2023.
* NonSingingVoice: While {{Music/Kesha}} provides Queen Bee-lzebub's speaking voice, her singing voice is provided by Rochelle Diamante due to legal issues with Kesha's record label.

*** Striker is voiced by Norman Reedus in "The Harvest Moon Festival" and Creator/EdwardBosco in "Western Energy".

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: According to the official Helluva Boss Twitter, [[https://twitter.com/IMPmurderpros/status/1532884688414486528 Episode 8 took so long to come out due to legal problems]]. When the episode was finally released, it turned out to be due to hiring {{Music/Kesha}} to voice a character while co-writing the "Cotton Candy" song, which caused problems with Kesha's record label.

* TheWikiRule: Since they are set in the same universe, the [[https://hazbinhotel.fandom.com/wiki/Hazbin_Hotel_Wiki Hazbin Hotel Wiki]] also documents ''Helluva Boss'' content.

* WordOfSaintPaul: After a heated debate regarding Stolas' genitals was revived and trended on Twitter a week before the premiere of “The Circus”, the storyboard lead of Helluva Boss and storyboard artist for Hazbin Hotel [[https://twitter.com/R2ninjaturtle/status/1550610667002011649 tweeted out]] (with Viv's permission) that Stolas indeed has a cloaca.

** “OZZIE’S” aired on October 31, 2021, on the one year anniversary of “Murder Family”, the first episode of the series proper. Fitting for both the same reason as the former, and because part of the episode is about Moxxie and Millie's first year anniversary.

* CrossDressingVoices: The pink-haired nurse in the pilot is voiced by Brock Baker.

* DearNegativeReader: In March 2023, Vivienne [[https://twitter.com/VivziePop/status/1635001106874114049 wrote a Twitter thread]] addressing the rising number of criticisms regarding the use of Millie, as many accused her and the writers of failing to give the character any significant depth outside being Moxxie's wife. Medrano argued that fans were overlooking what characterization had already been given, and that the complaints stem from people wishing that Millie had DarkAndTroubledPast like the rest of the cast. However, she did concede that the character hadn't gotten too much focus up to that point, and assured fans that she would in future episodes.

* PopCultureUrbanLegends: Many fans found it odd that Loona had no lines in either "Exes and Oohs" or "Western Energy", especially the latter, since it had a subplot about Blitzo taking her to the vet. Since her voice actress Creator/EricaLindbeck's boyfriend Creator/BillyKametz had died of cancer not long before the episodes were produced, it was speculated that the episodes were rewritten to remove her dialogue so she would have time to grieve. However, both series creator Creator/VivienneMedrano and Lindbeck herself [[https://twitter.com/VivziePop/status/1669459017641656322?cxt=HHwWhIDUmbSIjqsuAAAA later stated]] that the episodes were produced as originally intended, meaning Loona not having any dialogue was planned before Kametz died.
