History YMMV / Diablol

* NightmareFuel: Prime Evils ruining the lives of the innocents? Those 'heroes' that murder and loot everywhere they go even when the [[AntiVillain 'bad guys']] were just minding their own business? ''Pussies''. The ''real'' NightmareFuel is [[spoiler:''Diablo Immoral'', the personification of the unanimously disliked ''Diablo Immortal'' game and the crapsack state of Creator/BlizzardEntertainment by the time of its making. Its appearance was enough to make a mighty Archangel like Tyrael scream a BigNo, and it easily [[BoundAndGagged subdues, ties up and gag]] a Prime Evil like Diablo, and nothing the heroes ever do works against it, one hit and not only the heroes are dead, they drop a shit-ton of money. The short ends with nothing but Immoral staring at the screen (and Aidan chiming in "The sanctity of this place has been fouled." Fitting chime, actually), [[EvilLaugh evilly laughing]] while stock sobbing sound (by Carbot himself) is repeatedly played until it suddenly gets corrupted into its own EvilLaugh to rhyme with Immoral's own. If this is the ending of ''[=DiabLol=] II'', then [[DownerEnding that's one depressing, yet accurate way to end the subseries.]][[note]]FridgeBrilliance here: Since when did a ''Diablo'' game ever had a happy, uplifting ending? This is Carbot's way to tribute that.[[/note]]. Thankfully, it's not: The episode was not numbered, so canonically the CurbStompBattle didn't happen.]]

* LootDrama: This starts in ''[=DiabLoL=] II'' when a level 99 Paladin fresh off the Ladder joins the server in "Free plz" to start dropping random items that everyone else dogpiles over, no matter how worthless.

* TearJerker: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwoUPMg9TLc There is no Cow Level]] finally highlights on how AntiVillain-ous the antagonists are. The Cow King saw his 'Moo York', once a peaceful city of bipedal cows, get ''utterly slaughtered'' by [[DesignatedHero the heroes]] in the name of loot, in a span of two minutes. In which our heroes killed a cow bride (her corpse was blown up by Xul right in front of the mourning bridegroom), three gymnastic-training cows, a cow trying to apply for a new job, a cow car driver (who was just trying to shoo a dog for getting in the way for the car, only to find out that it's the Druid's dog that proceeds to drag and kill it), an innocent talk show host and its partner, and a bunch of cows on the street due to AOE damages like the Druid's Tornado, the Paladin's Holy Fire and Isendra's Meteor (with her LaughingMad). When all was done, the Cow King is saddened at the whole grand massacre... and yet [[CruelMercy none of the heroes would kill him by the virtue of making sure the loot party would never end by sparing him]], meaning that he would respawn his Cow Level population... and see the massacre over and over again... Certainly hammers the question for the heroes: "Are we the bad guys here?"

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Much like ''WebAnimation/StarCrafts'', there's a fair amount of blood and violence in an otherwise simplistic and chibi parody cartoon, hence the "I'm being repressed!" ContentWarnings as of ''[=DiabLoL=] II''.

* AntiClimaxBoss: Diablo himself in the first ''[=DiabLoL=]'', if only by the fact he was [[OneHitKill one-shot]] by the strength duping warrior, who then proceeds to take the Soulstone from Albrecht's corpse and casually stab it into his head ''through his helmet''. A level 50 Sorcerer also does this by casting Apocalypse to blast Diablo and his flunkies without ever lowering the wall.

* GeniusBonus: Anyone can watch the series and have a laugh but the animations have a lot more humor if you understand the fine details of the games.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Effectively the idea behind "Tristrun" in ''Diablol II''. Deckard Cain is apparently living happily with the undead in Tristram until the seven heroes arrive, burn down the town, slay the monsters and drag poor Cain to the Rogue Encampment for the sake of free identification.
