** Why is Alastor antagonizing Lucifer? Is he threatened Lucifer might supplant his role in the Hotel, or simply irritated Lucifer doesn't know who he is and is disrespecting the work he has put into the hotel? Given he drops his hostility at the end, it's even possible he was egging Lucifer on so he'd try to prove his usefulness to Charlie (namely by arranging the meeting with heaven).
** What does Alastor truly feel about the hotel? Him styling himself as the TeamDad in their FoundFamily seems obviously insincere, and he's ''directly stated'' he doesn't believe in Charlie's vision. But Charlie herself seems convinced he really cares about the place, and he has consistently been nothing but helpful to the hotel and her goals (despite having no formal agreement mandating that). His conversation with Mimzy afterwards also implies he might be taking the hotel's mission more seriously than originally expected, and he looks genuinely pleased when Lucifer agrees to help Charlie arrange a meeting with Heaven, though that latter could just be his implied [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas genuine love towards his mother]] if his fondness for her jambalaya recipe in the pilot is any indication.

Added DiffLines:

* AccidentalInnuendo: Lucifer is first introduced with his back to the camera, his hands near his crotch and grunting out the words "That's it... almost there..." right before showing off the rubber duck he made; while the scene was probably meant to look ominous at first, a few fans have noted that it also makes him look like he's masturbating. The fact that the scene prior to this one has Charlie point out that her parents are separated [[MasturbationMeansSexualFrustration makes it even funnier]].

Language nerd moment

Added DiffLines:

* {{Woolseyism}}: In the German dub, Alastor's PrecisionFStrike is translated literally, but Alastor notably continues to use the formal "you" rather than the informal one[[note]]"sie" as opposed to "du"[[/note]] even when saying "fuck you" to Lucifer. This indicates that he's still speaking formally while cussing out the king of Hell, adding another layer to the already SophisticatedAsHell statement.

Added DiffLines:

* AlternativeJokeInterpretation: Lucifer's surprised but positive reaction to learning about Charlie and Vaggie's relationship can additionally be read as relief that Charlie and Alastor are not romantically involved.

** Is Lucifer banned from heaven? or is he just too traumatised by his fall to return? His reaction during "More Than Anything" at the angelic spear turning on Charlie and his depression imply the latter.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Alastor transforming into a giant to eat the literal {{Loan Shark}}s about to attack the Hotel is pretty damn terrifying. Then he yells "I WILL DEVOUR EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU!!!" in an over-the-top manner while doing a couple goofy faces, pushing the entire scene into [[BlackComedy darkly comical]] absurdity.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The first half of "Hell's Greatest Dad" has a very similar rhythm to "[[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseTheMovie Other Friends]]" as compared [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PMDO-S72SI here]], where the background music of "Hell's Greatest Dad" matches the singing of "Other Friends" perfectly. Both songs are electro-swing. For bonus points, Creator/SarahStiles voices both Spinel and Mimzy.

*** The latest sneak peek of Episode 7 actually makes this lean more toward the CallingTheOldManOut interpretation, as in it she does acknowledge his desire to watch them all suffer and fail.
