History YMMV / Reaper

* AcceptableTargets:
** The main trio all lived with their parents when the show started. While this was never truly made fun of, it was considered [[LoserProtagonist "pathetic" and used to show that the trio lacked drive each in their own way]]: Sam was purposely encouraged not to try to hard by his parents (who assumed he was going to be taken to hell for their sins), Sock was lazy, and Ben was too weak-willed to get out from under his mother's thumb. All three overcome this when they move out halfway through the series and get an apartment together.
** There's a portal to Hell in the DMV. What do you mean that's not normal?

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: At the end of second episode, Andi jokes about [[spoiler: being in Hell together.]] Then the end of the series happens and it looks like [[spoiler: she was right.]]
* HarsherInHindsight: In "Acid Queen", the Devil takes Sam to a photography studio as the women are posing and ask him if he's an "Boob man, ass man, or leg man" and simply says "What's a little locker room talk between friends" when a disgusted Sam tells him to stop making these lewd comments. 9 years later in 2016, Donald Trump would face controversy by making similar remarks about women and justifying the conversation as "locker room talk".

* CrazyAwesome: Sock.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Andi at various points in the second season, when she starts attacking Sam when he seems to be making the best of his impossible-to-escape situation with the Devil. Potentially justified, as Sam isn't the most motivated person and him eventually just accepting his lot rather than trying to get out of it is a possibility, but a lot of her comments do come off as mean-spirited. [[spoiler: [[HeroicSacrifice More than redeemed]] in the finale, however.]]

* MagnificentBastard: The Devil not only arranges for Sam to get an apartment next to a pair of rebel demons whose plan to destroy him would actually have worked, and manipulates Sam into infiltrating the rebellion with a new (doomed) plan to kill him, he also signs Sam's lease with his name and sends him clues as to what is going on that Sam, Sock and Ben can only work out moments after it is too late to do anything about it. He then repeats this plan with the few survivors of the rebellion, and is still witty, charming and diabolically affable.

* RomanticPlotTumor: The aforementioned Sock/Kristen plot in the first half of Season 2, which many fans felt took up too much time.

* AcceptableLifestyleTargets: The main trio all lived with their parents when the show started. While this was never truly made fun of, it was considered [[LoserProtagonist "pathetic" and used to show that the trio lacked drive each in their own way]]: Sam was purposely encouraged not to try to hard by his parents (who assumed he was going to be taken to hell for their sins), Sock was lazy, and Ben was too weak-willed to get out from under his mother's thumb. All three overcome this when they move out halfway through the series and get an apartment together.
* AcceptableTargets: There's a portal to Hell in the DMV. What do you mean that's not normal?

* MagnificentBastard: The Devil, often mingling with CrowningMomentOfAwesome. Consider, for instance, ''The Cop'': [[spoiler:he teleports Sam into a high-class restaurant and presents him with an expensive watch and a dinner of fresh lobster, supposedly as a reward for a job well done. Then vanishes a split-second before the check arrives, leaving Sam to pay for both meals. Oh, and the watch was taken from the corpse of a recent murder victim, which makes Sam the top suspect as soon as a cop notices it.]]

* AcceptableLifestyleTargets: The main trio all lived with their parents when the show started. While this was never truly made fun of, it was considered "pathetic," and used to show that the trio lacked drive each in their own way.. Sam was purposely encouraged not to try to hard by his parents (who assumed he was going to be taken to hell for their sins), Sock is lazy, and Ben was too weak willed to get out from under his mother's thumb. All three overcome this when they move out halfway through the series and get an apartment together.

** When Sam performs CruelMercy on a corrupt Sheriff, letting him suffer by letting him live; Nina notes that she was wrong and Sam truly ''is'' evil, then promptly grabs him and gives him TheBigDamnKiss. She apologises, pointing out that she's a Demon, she can't help evil being a major turn on.
* FridgeBrilliance: Sam is [[spoiler: the only one of the Devil's children who's openly defiant to his face and willing to tell him off...which is ''exactly'' the relationship the Devil had with his own father, God.]]

* NightmareFuel - Possibly in Coming to Grips after beheading a soul, Sam wants ham to eat and supposedly ham tastes alot like humans.
* RomanticPlotTumor: The aforementioned Sock-Kristen plot in the first half of Season 2, which many fans felt took up too much time.

** Nina tells Sock she was't sure if he was gay or straight, thinking he was attracted to Ben. Although she probably just said that to annoy him, as it was in a nightmare she sent him.* LargeHam: Sock

* MoralEventHorizon: Greg, Andi's ex-boyfriend, also counts, [[spoiler: what with selling his soul for a Jedi mind trick to force Andi to be with him.]] Arguably also a KarmaHoudini, with a dose of UnfortunateImplications, considering the ending of "Greg, Schmeg".

* UnfortunateImplications: They probably didn't intend to imply that being a rapist is OK if you're an insecure self-loathing coward, but that's kind of how [[spoiler: Greg]] comes off.

* CompleteMonster: Most of the escaped souls are somewhat balanced, but some of them are downright evil. One of the more notable ones can mutiply and is a borderline rapist without committing the act.

* MagnificentBastard: The Devil, of course, often mingling with CrowningMomentOfAwesome. Consider, for instance, ''The Cop'': [[spoiler:he teleports Sam into a high-class restaurant and presents him with an expensive watch and a dinner of fresh lobster, supposedly as a reward for a job well done. Then vanishes a split-second before the check arrives, leaving Sam to pay for both meals. Oh, and the watch was taken from the corpse of a recent murder victim, which makes Sam the top suspect as soon as a cop notices it.]]
