Shout Out / Hazbin Hotel

• The drugs vending machine sells Bojack and SQUIP.
• The picture of Sir Pentious looking "Totally Radical" in the news report is a blatant reference to the 30 Rock scene involving Steve Buscemi as an undercover cop which has gained memetic status.
• One of the background demons in the pilot episode is a red-haired Monster Clown with sharp teeth and crimson pom-poms down the front of their outfit—clearly spoofing Pennywise from the 2017 It movie.
• Another background demon in the pilot, which is seen partially obscured among the background crowd during Charlie's initial entrance to the 666 News set, bears a fair resemblance to Billy the Puppet from the Saw franchise.
• In the Official Trailer, The Dover Boys can be seen playing on a TV whenever it cuts to the scene showing Charlie's interview being broadcasted to the denizens of Hell. In the actual pilot, the cartoon is instead seen playing on a TV during the bar scene.
• The clock that Niffty dusts◊ looks very similar to Doc Scratch's God Tier clock.
• There are actually two references to songs from Annie:
  • The "You'll be on Easy Street!" line and scene◊ in "Inside of Every Demon is a Rainbow" is a reference to the song "Easy Street". There's a nameplate that reads "Miss Hannigan" and the three demons that Charlie sings to are clearly meant to represent the three characters who sang the song, with Daniel "Rooster" Hannigan represented by a literal rooster demon, Lily St. Regis represented by the bird demon in the dress and fur scarf, and Miss Hannigan herself represented by an early-bird cameoing Mimzy.
  • Later, Alastor tells Vaggie to "Smile, my dear! You know, you're never fully dressed without one!" He then hums the first few notes of the song "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile" (which, in Annie, is played on a radio show).
• Angel Dust has a pet pig called Fat Nuggets, whom he loves very much, and Charlie's real first name is Charlotte. Now, what other story have we heard of that features a spider being close friends with a pig, with one of the characters being named Charlotte?
• One of the demons occasionally shown, such as in this shot, on the left◊, looks strikingly like Omnitraxus Prime from Star vs. the Forces of Evil.
• In the prequel comic Dirty Healings, when Vaggie asks Charlie if Angel Dust is really the demon she wants to talk to, Charlie replies "Yes. He's good. I can tell."
• In "A Day in the After Life", Alastor comes across a TV store with several commercials by Vox playing on the screens of the various sets. The products being advertised include Voot Floop◊ which is a parody of Froot Loops, Vogitek◊ which is a parody of Logitech, V&V's◊ which is a parody of M&M's, and the Valkyrie Speaker 2.0◊ which is a reference to an actual loudspeaker with the same name. The Vogitek commercial is also a shout out to Hannah Montana via looking like one of the series's covers◊.
• Alastor's Reprise brings "Friends on the Other Side" to mind, from its color scheme to his Vooodoo background. Plus, he summons a few Living Shadows during the song.
• During "Inside of Every Demon is a Rainbow," there is a pink neon sign that says "Hell Here" that resembles the one in Catwoman's apartment in Batman Returns.
• In the Happy Day in Hell clip, there is a brief shot of a couple recreating the spaghetti scene from Lady and the Tramp… with intestinal tract as the spaghetti.
• Valentino's contract for Angel Dust's soul looks like Ursula's contract from The Little Mermaid.
• In "Dad Beat Dad", Lucifer is shown playing a golden fiddle, a reference to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels Band where the Devil challenges a boy named Johnny to a fiddle-playing duel with a gold fiddle as a prize for winning.
• The Von Eldritch family, with their name and tentacle motif, are a clear one to the Cthulhu Mythos.
• The episode title "Hello Rosie!" is clearly one to Hello, Dolly!. Rosie herself (or at least her outward persona) is modeled on Dolly Levi; the aesthetic, fashion, and music of Cannibal Town is also based on that of Hello, Dolly!. In particular, Charlie leading a parade of cannibals during "Ready for This" recalls "Before the Parade Passes By."
• When Charlie, a princess, is trying to convince the cannibals to help her in "Hello Rosie!", an "ornery old bitch" named Susan yells "BOO!" and other insults at her.
• In the song "Ready For This", one of the cannibals is heard shouting "glorious food"!
• During a montage at the end of "The Show Must Go On", Lucifer is seen using KeeKee as a Keyblade, conjuring more materials to rebuild the hotel with.
• Also, in the same episode, Charlie is seen fighting the Exorcists using a shield that greatly resembles Save The King +++, one of the shields used by Goofy in Kingdom Hearts III.
