Helluva Boss - TV Tropes

• The disclaimer at the beginning of the video stressing that the video's content is for adults, especially the crude drawing of Blitzø with a speech bubble reading "Me say bad words".
• The tone of the office is established immediately when Blitzø states to everyone that business is down and that it's nobody's fault... only to then quickly pin the blame on Moxxie and change the subject.
• This gem after Moxxie criticizes I.M.P's recent expenditures:

  Blitzø: Uh, hey, excuse me? What's "obnoxious" about a super-fun jingle, alright? It's a fun distraction when an advertisement's spittin' bullshit.
  Millie: People love musicals, sir!
  Blitzø: Exactly, Millie! And we're basically doing a musical. (suddenly becomes somber) Are you gonna crush my musical theatre dreams like my dad did?
  Moxxie: (annoyed) Sir-
  Blitzø: Because right now, all I see is just my dad's asshole talking to me, crushing my dreams of being who I truly am inside...

  • The "musical theatre dreams" becomes a bit funnier in "Truth Seekers".
  • Moxxie's picture for his Employee of the Month picture frame.
• In the ad for I.M.P:
  • When referring to people who got sent to hell rightfully, the picture is of Blitzø twirling a mustache in front of a burning building with the sign "Orphanage for Elderly Blind Newborn Dogs".
  • The picture of Blitzø representing those sent to Hell "wrongfully" has him in an angel getup, complete with lopsided cardboard halo, in what appears to be a coffee shop, throwing his cup away in the trash rather than a recycling bin.
    • Given how easy it is to get sent to Hell in this series, failing to recycle a coffee cup probably would bar you from Heaven.
  • The demon who murdered his wife and sentenced to death by the state of Ohio has a shirt appearing to say "Ohio #2".
  • When the trio is faking a suicide by hanging their victim, checking out the background reveals that their current victim is in fact one of the show's own animators.
  • Moxxie tripping over the spellbook as they enter a portal to the living world. When they come through the other side, after he quickly pulls himself up, he, Blitzø, and Millie realize that they're in a church, with everyone, excluding someone who's apparently asleep and a woman who's happy to see them for some reason, staring at them in shock.
    • Bonus points, the people in the church are the animators who worked on the show!
  • The trio killing a couple apparently in the moment of some 69, with Millie trying to pull out a blade, Moxxie looking away in embarrassment, and Blitzø going through the underwear.
  • Blitzø repeatedly stabbing someone in the head with a goofy expression.
  • In one of the freeze-frames, someone was crushed by a piano, then Blitzø started playing it while M&M are singing on top of it. Alternately: they were doing that before they dropped it on someone and just didn't stop.
  • In another freeze-frame, the group is controlling a shark to eat their victim. However, Moxxie appears to be seasick. Just picturing a demon from hell as being seasick is worth a few laughs.
  • Just as the singer was about to say "professionals", Moxxie accidentally shoots a child.
• The Hospital:
  • When Eddie (the child) is shot, he is rushed to the hospital. The obviously female nurse has a voice more gravelly than Thor.
  • When the doctor calls for "More water, STAT!", the nurse slams a bucket of water into Eddie's face, leaving a massive mark.
    • What's more, the nurse sounds genuinely shocked and upset when he says "It didn't do ANYTHING!"
  • The doctors using defibrillators on Eddie. With three units. Simultaneously. And it WORKS.
  • This little bit:

    Doctor: Well, he appears to be in stable condition, but he'll need surgery. What insurance provider do you freaks have?
    Blitzø: (confused) The fuck is insurance?

  • Immediately after asking, it cuts to the gang being thrown out the window. And then it turns out that it's still a part of the ad and it cuts to the logo.
  • The fact that the doctor isn't even phased by three imps literally from Hell sitting in front of him and manages to throw all three of them outside the window!
• The montage of Loona after Moxxie says that she's awful:
  • Millie calls the office, having been stabbed... and Loona immediately hangs up.
  • Blitzø tries to give Loona an "adoption anniversary" present, only to fumble when she asks if it's a cure for syphilis. Since it isn't, she gets mad and tosses it to the ground, releasing a horde of spiders that covers her completely. Blitzø, now outside the window, apologizes.
  • Faxing Moxxie an ad for weight loss.
    • The ad is a flyer for "Chub-B-Gone", which could also imply something other than weight loss.
  • Eating Moxxie's avocado salad because she's hungover (not from last night, but that morning), then getting mad when this is pointed out and kicking a baby carriage to blow off steam.
  • Loona telling Blitzø the "clingy rich asshole" was on the phone again and wanted to talk to him, saying it was urgent.

    Loona: Sounds kinda DTF-y.
    Blitzø: (frustrated) Oh, god, it was one time!!!

• It's revealed that Blitzø had a one-night stand with Stolas in order to get the grimoire I.M.P. uses to access the living world. It then cuts to Moxxie staring at Blitzø after a beat and gives a confused, "You what."

  Blitzø: (sneaking away with the book) ♪ Got the book. Got the book. Got this fucking heavy book. ♪

  • When leaving, he crashes into a cake Stella and her friends were having and casually apologizes for having sex with her husband. Becomes Harsher in Hindsight when considering what happens in the opening of "Loo Loo Land" and Stella's later reactions.

    Blitzø: Sorry, I fucked your husband! (awkward smile)

• Stolas and his... graphic conversation with Blitzø.

  Stolas: You know what happens when I get lonely, Blitzy....
  Blitzø: Oh, god fucking dammit.
  Stolas: When I become lonely, I become hungry. And when I become hungry, I want to choke on that red (bleep) of yours, (bleep) your (bleep) and lick all of your (bleep), before taking out your (bleep), and (bleep)—ing with more teeth until you're screaming (extended bleep) like a fucking baby—
  Blitzø: (horrified; hangs up, breaks the cell phone, smashes it with his desk phone, blends the remains into a smoothie, and gives it to Loona) Eat this.
  Loona: (obediently pours it down her throat)
  Blitzø: And then you know that bridge over the freeway?
  Loona: Yeah?
  Blitzø: Shit off it.

  • Let this sink in: the collective universe this series and Hazbin Hotel occupy use Black Comedy and cursing like most people use oxygen, yet Stolas' little speech is so utterly depraved that it's not just the only thing Censored for Comedy in either show; it gets a Cluster Bleep-Bomb.
  • The icing on the cake is that he's listed as "Creepy Mouth (aka one-night stand bird dick)".
  • Before the phone call even starts, Blitzø has this gem.

    Blitzø: Soooo, what can I do you for this time, Stolas?

  • The fact that Blitzø destroyed his phone with another phone.
  • Bonus points for Blitzø keeping his deer-in-headlights expression throughout the process of destroying the phone, only recovering when he orders Loona to eat the phone smoothie.
  • Brock Baker revealing the "uncensored version" on Twitter. Apparently, the actual script just shows a bunch of asterisks in place of the bleeped-out words and Baker improvised his lines by saying things like "pee pee poo poo".
  • The best part is that despite Loona being apathetic, disobedient, and standoffish with her dad and coworkers, she's had just about as enough of Stolas as her dad and is more than willing to eat Blitzø's phone and shit off a bridge for him just to get rid of Stolas.
  • 5 years after the release date of the pilot, Vivziepop released the studio recording of the episode, which reveals what Stolas said:

  Stolas: I want to choke on that red dick of yours, toss your salad and lick all of your shit, before taking out your teeth and filling it with more teeth until you're screaming "peepee poopoo," like a fucking baby—

• Before that, Stolas informs Blitzø that he wants I.M.P. to off a political candidate who's trying to convince people that global warming exists. When Blitzø points out that it does exist, Stolas says "Well, yes, but more people die if nothing is done about it."
• Blitzø is a little too interested in Moxxie and Millie's home life.
  • He actually hangs out in their fridge. Especially funny is Blitzø's big goofy grin and sparkling eyes while sitting all cramped inside (pictured above).

    Moxxie: What the...?! WHY ARE YOU IN OUR FRIDGE?!

  • Also from that scene:
  • Moxxie wakes up in the middle of the night to find a purring Blitzø staring right at him while he sleeps, crouching on top of the bed. The kicker is when he mentions that he apparently finds the dream he was having of his parents being murdered preferable to that. Becomes even more funny in hindsight upon finding out Moxxie's father is a sadistic, evil mafia boss who is strongly implied to have murdered Moxxie's mother.
  • Blitzø recording Moxxie and Millie on date night.
    • Keep in mind that Richard Steven Horvitz, the voice behind Dagget, Billy, and Zim, is the one that drops this!
• Blitzø's reaction to finding out that the bratty child is actually the target they were hired to take out?

  Blitzø: Well, Christ on a stick, I guess there is a God. (immediately shoots Eddie)

• Blitzø's closing speech is a mostly professional spiel on the company's benefits that's juxtaposed over everybody desecrating and dismembering Eddie's corpse.

  Blitzø: Y'know folks, with this company, I really wanted to prove that we're capable of doing the same things anyone else can. Like killing people! So from us here at the Immediate Murder Professionals group, we promise to settle your unfinished business or your money... is gone and you're never getting it back and you can write us a bad review but we'll play dumb to it because it's Hell and no one fucking cares.

• The final shot of the pilot is of Eddie's mom on the news with a drawing of him, begging viewers to help her find him. The headline? "Mom Sucks at Drawing Own Kid."
  • She is then abruptly interrupted by I.M.P. dropping the sack containing Eddie's remains on her arms through a portal. After Blitzø expresses that they should handle his remains respectfully.
• A bit of Fridge Humour: The jingle states "Kids die for free". If Eddie actually was the target, even after all the grief that he put them through, I.M.P didn't get a dime for him. Unless he was the reason they introduced that policy in the first place.

Hell's Belles

• The opening of the episode features Millie waiting for a bus from Wrath to arrive. When it does and opens up, Millie giddily goes to hug Sallie May, only to hug a complete stranger instead by mistake. When she realizes she isn't hugging Sal, she immediately shoves him while acting like he was creeping on her.

  Millie: Ugh! Get offa me!

• In the background when Millie first catches up with her sister, there is a billboard featuring Loopty Goopty and Lyle Lipton. The billboard says "Injured? Good."
• When Sallie May asks what the first thing on their sister trip will be, Millie gets a whiff of her and announces the first trip to be to a mud spa on account of her smelling like "hog ass". Sal is at first offended before she sniffs herself and agrees.
• Sallie May being absolutely baffled by the whole mud bath treatment. When she asks Millie about why they pay to bathe in mud, Millie tells her it's "special mud" for relaxing. Sal is amusingly not impressed with the response.
• The first two outfits Sal wear when they go clothes shopping have Millie being disgusted. Especially amusing for the first being a cowgirl outfit given their southern depiction otherwise.
• The two sisters spend time in an arcade owned by Wally Wackford which they end up burning down when they get too rowdy with one of the games.
• Mil and Sal end up getting hit on (read: aggressively sexually harassed) by a random demon at a club. Both of them beat the demon senselessly in retaliation. The bartender who witnessed this isn't even horrified but instead impressed and rewards the two with free drinks.
• After their earnest and emotional talk on the rooftop, the sisters start playfully nudging each other... which escalates into a broken bottle vs. bare knuckle beatdown. By the time they're happily watching a movie, both are heavily bandaged and bruised.

Mission: Antarctica

• The episode opens up with a contract detailing the job that the imps are hired to do. Not only is the contract pretty bare bones with the target marked as "???" and the description saying "A man-eating beast, no clear description". If what is in the info is any indication, Blitzø asked Moxxie to write that part down before realizing Moxxie wrote more than he should have. The info on the contract reads as follows:

  "Client wants us to hunt down the man-eater that killed him and now poses a risk to his fellow researchers.
  Personally I think he's being a little bitch, he's already dead so why go through the trouble of hiring someone to... why are you still typing? Are you writing this all down? Moxx, I swear to fucking Satan you are beyond stupi"

• When the imps see a penguin on a nearby cliff, Blitzø orders Moxxie to "Drop him!". One bullet, and the penguin just comically drops dead in a rather amusing way.
  • A swarm of dozens of penguins appears, accompanied by a low rumbling. Blitzø's reaction? "Fuck, that's like ten!" implying that he can't count to ten but somehow he can speak penguin.
  • Millie hopes the penguins are friendly. We then get the penguins squawking with subtitles of them asking “Who are they?” before one says something that is subtitled as *Slurs*. This gets Blitzø to immediately cry, "They're not! RUN!"
  • As the penguins come after the imps, their squawks are constantly translated as “*Slurs*”.
• It turns out Blitzø hasn't exactly figured out how to use the Asmodean crystal Stolas gave him as he desperately tries to get the crew out of their predicament. When Millie suggests "use your tongue," Blitzø starts licking it.

  Moxxie: How do you not know how to do this?
  Blitzø: Moxxie, I'm a fucking top!

  • Moxxie tells Blitzø to spell the alphabet (blushing immediately afterwards). Blitzø messed up on the first three letters ("A...C, B?") before being reminded to use his tongue.
  • Moxxie’s forced to pleasure the crystal himself, causing Millie and Blitzø to blush as they watch.

    Blitzø: Oh, damn.
    Millie: (with a smirk) I taught him that.

• The ending: A lone penguin waddles into the middle of the rubble, stands still for 2 seconds, and then proceeds to shake its left flipper angrily while squawking in *slurs*.

Mission: Weeaboo-Boo

• Blitzø’s entire interaction with the titular weeaboo Emberlynn, especially when she starts acting like Stolas did when he thought Blitzø had come to “ravish” him.

  Blitzø: Ohhh, you're one of those.

• The reason Emberlynn is on Blitzo's hit list? Someone didn't like the ship she backed between two fictional characters, because according to them, it involves incest. The only further context we get is that Blitzø doesn't believe the ship can be considered incest and that the incident happened seven years ago.
• Blitzø first appears in the short talking to Millie on the phone. Millie isn't heard on the phone at all, but judging by what Blitzø says to her, she went with Moxxie to watch a musical (implied to be one of Les Misérables) in the meantime of the short's events and is apparently desperate to find an excuse to get out of it and participate in the short's assassination, even as Blitzø nonchalantly tells her that he doesn't need her for the mission. It seems that for all her supporting of Moxxie, Millie can't withstand staying throughout a musical with him.

  Blitzø: Aw, thanks, Mills, but I don't think I need backup to take down some suburban college girl. You enjoy that bullshit musical and stop trying to use an excuse to get out of it—Hey, look! If I had to sit through that miserable French hog shit, well so do you, okay? Bye, Mills!

  • Adding to the honor, the fact that the conversation implies that Moxxie manages to rope Blitzø into going to see "Les Misérables" with him BEFORE getting Millie, his WIFE to go.
• The song Blitzø sings right before he tries to stab Emberlynn the first time.

  Blitzø: I love killing, shooting things, I'll use a saw! I’ll use a fork, too! I love killing things with any kind of weapon, give me a knife and I’ll kill someone and today it’s gonna be a stupid bitch!

• If you look closely, you will see that Emberlynn is watching her show on a site called Illeganime.net, poking fun at how real-life anime fans, especially those in Western countries, often tend to watch anime through piracy as opposed to official, legal channels.
• One of Emberlynn’s bits of merchandise is a very obvious stand-in plush for Charlie. Even funnier when you realize that Emberlynn’s VA was the voice for Vaggie, Charlie’s girlfriend, in the Hazbin Hotel pilot, and even funnier still if you learn that it's based off of a real-life bootleg plush◊.
• Another bit of merch on the same shelf as the Charlie plush is a My Little Pony-like figure inside a jar partially filled with a white liquid. While it's doubly disgusting, it can be hilarious if you know that it's referencing an infamous incident from the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom^{Specifically...}.
• The complete lack of explanation as to why Emberlynn's necklace (which should be a normal bit of merch for an anime) actually protects her from demons.
  • The necklace seems to project a holy-like Halo/forcefield around Emberlynn whenever it activates, suggesting that it's somehow a genuine blessed item despite its origins. This means that Emberlynn literally has the power of God and anime on her side.
• When Emberlynn asks Blitz, whom she calls "Blitzy-Kun", what he will do to her, Blitz can only casually state that he can't exactly do anything to her as long as she is wearing the necklace.
• Emberlynn's parents don't like her either, her mother even desperately asking "Why won't she leave?!?"
• Blitzø's facial expressions as he's reacting to Emberlynn.
• After enough overt sexuality to make even Blitzø uncomfortable, Emberlynn finally takes off the anti-demon necklace and allows him to kill her. He stabs her fatally... and it's exactly what you'd expect.
  • What does Blitzø do after she finally dies? He gets a few more thrusts in before he goes.

    Blitzø: (in a flat voice) Stab. Stab stab.

• After Blitzø returns to the I.M.P. office, he lets the client know the job’s done and asks them to wire the money so he can go and forget the night ever happened… only to hear Emberlynn calling his name (which Loona in the background also shifts her attention to in surprise). He cautiously peeks through the window blinds to find out that she's become a Sinner demon and is standing right outside the building.
  • How does she already know where he works when he came back almost immediately after murdering her? She saw the billboard advertising I.M.P.
• Even Emberlynn's demonic form's design is over the top, as if somebody put everything they thought was cool on a single character. She's got a third eye, demonic horns, demonic bat wings, furry cat-like ears, and a furry tail.

Mission: Chupacabras

• The file on the target specifies that he 'smells strongly of hay and tequila'.
  • Because Blitzø doesn’t speak Spanish, he can’t understand the client at all, only guessing from a certain hand motion that the target “must be a real freak”.
• Blitzo's utter confusion that goats exist at all, to the point that Moxxie has to explain to him that goats are something that exist on earth.
• Millie is shown to have a goat in her mouth when the trio are discovered by Gerardo.
• If you listen closely, when Blitzo gets ready to kick a goat into the farm silo (which then causes an explosion for some reason) there's a gun-cocking sound.
• When the trio are discovered, Moxxie is in the middle of a slap-fight with a small goat, and later during their retreat, that same goat is dragging what looks to be a very beaten-up Moxxie.
• Blitzo attempts to ride a goat in an attempt to escape. The goat just drops to the ground.
• Gerardo's wife is very adept at using la chancla, which aside from Gerardo's shotgun is what prompts Blitzo to call a retreat.

  Blitzo: Ay caramba, he brought the big guns!

• During their retreat, Blitzo decides to fire randomly in all directions, shooting oil barrels, gas jugs, and a tractor, setting the latter on fire and priming everything for Stuff Blowing Up... only for another stray shot to hit the flames and put out the fire. And then the camera pans to an outhouse, which gets shot and explodes instead.
• When Blitzo is captured by Gerardo, he is put in a ridiculous-looking chupacabra outfit.
  • He has a stuffed goat stuffed into his mouth when he tries to protest his being caged and that he's not a chupacabra — particularly the fact that Gerardo can hablar inglés perfectly well.
  • Blitzo pushes ice cream into a kid's face. Twice.
  • Blitzo's entire rant on what he "sucks" (interrupted by having two animals shoved into his mouth):

    Blitzo: Look, asshole, the only suckin' I do is on cocks— [has a rooster stuffed in his face]— not that kind! Pussies—[has a cat shoved in his face] FUCK! Dammit, I'm doin' a bit!—and cloacas!^note 
    [Gerardo gives him a long, wide-eyed "WTF" look]

    • Gerardo's expression gets even funnier (and more understandable) if you know that cloaca means "sewer" in Spanish.
    • For a brief moment, Blitzo can be seen opening his mouth expectantly after mentioning that he sucks cloacas. He's greeted by Gerardo's shocked expression and is about to continue his rant, only to have a lizard tossed in.

      Blitzø: I’M GONNA PUT YOU IN THE FUCKING GROUND….hang on.

• The D.H.O.R.K.S. show up again, and they're just as inept as ever.
  • They show up in a van crudely disguised as a taco truck.
  • Neither of them brought cash to pay for the "chupacabra" that Gerardo is selling, leading to an argument between Agents One and Two that allows Blitzo to enlist one of the goats to help him.
  • The goat proceeds to headbutt Agent One in the nuts, prompting him to yell at him. This gets Gerardo good and mad, as goats are Serious Business with him, resulting in a Mexican Standoff. As Gerardo aims between the two agents, One and Two aim between him and each other.
  • When Blitzo's gun burns his hand, Gerardo drops it and it goes off, flattening one of the tires of the D.H.O.R.K.S. van and bringing the windmill down on him, completing IMP's hit.
  • Agent One and Agent Two immediately realize that Blitz's gun is of demonic origin because of the above. What is their response to that? Shoot at the gun itself to predictably no effect whatsoever.
  • Once Blitzo has his crystal back, he proceeds to make a fool of Agents One and Two, not only getting his gun back and dodging everything they fire at him, but causing a goat stampede that has both of them scrambling back to the van, with one of them eating Agent One's badge when he tries to present it and another even slapping him, and more of them trying to eat Agent Two's hair. It's little wonder neither of them want anything more when they finally get back to the van.

    Agent Two: Too many goats...too many goats...

• Blitzø giving an IMP sticker to the little black goat that helped rescue him… which leads to the goat pulling a page out of a certain lamb’s book and forming a cult around Blitzø.
• A Black Comedy variant in which the side character designed after Maria, an Animal Lover in her own right, is just as hyped in seeing a "chupacabra" suck out a goat's blood as everyone else.

• 2024 Pride Month spread
  • Chaz, being his usual shameless self, is completely naked, only covering his privates with a sign reading "I will fuck anything" while leering at Andrealphus, who looks utterly repulsed by him.
  • Blitzo is shown to be buck naked as well, with the pansexual flag colors painted on his chest.
  • Wally Wackford is stated to not have a flag because his sexuality is "silly little guy".
  • Mammon is double Flipping the Bird at Fizzarolli and Asmodeus, who don't even notice him.
  • Alessio, of all people, is sitting at the roof of a nearby building, watching the parade.
• To tie into the "Mission: Antarctica" short, pins were released of Blitzo◊, Millie◊, and Moxxie◊. While Blitzo and Millie's show them posing with weapons, Moxxie's depicts the moment where he's sticking Blitzo's hand into his mouth to lick his crystal.

• The announcement video about the show coming to Amazon Prime provides a good amount of funny bits.
  • The announcement starts off with Charlie talking about how the Hazbin Hotel has been greenlit for three more seasons just before Blitzø arrives from a portal he opens up in the sky, which he falls out of.
  • Charlie's reaction to Blitzø announcing his show coming to Prime Video is adorable.
  • The way Blitzø goes into detail about how Helluva Boss is coming to Prime involves a Stylistic Suck board.
    • The sheer fact that Charlie's doodle during the whole board is better designed and polished than everything else in it adds to the humor.
  • Blitzø straight-up calls Vivziepop a bitch, while Charlie says she really loves her.
  • While Blitzø is quick to be insistent on how his name is pronounced to Charlie, he keeps getting her name wrong.
  • Blitzø boasts about how his cast will finally be able to interact with the Hazbin cast. Charlie has to shut him up to prevent spoilers.
  • When Blitzo starts bringing in characters he brings in Mr. P of all people and he isn’t animated like the other characters he simply floats above everybody while Blitzo makes an ooh sound.
  • When Blitzo brings Vaggie in he mistakenly calls her Vagooba.
  • Blitzo simply drags Husk in by his tail and calls him the cat.
  • When Blitzo brings Fizzarolli through the portal he has the most confused expression on his face.
  • The announcement ends with Blitzø bringing in characters from both shows to celebrate. This includes Alastor, whom Charlie frantically points out doesn't do well with cameras. Cue the video glitching out.
    • When Vox comes to the scene, he initially stares at Charlie and Vaggie with a devious grin, the former looking afraid while the latter glares back at him. His face immediately changes to a goofy angry expression the moment Blitzo brings Alastor in, staring at Alastor with Vaggie, Husk, Loona, Stolas and Vassago for the remainder of the video.
    • A really funny thing about Vox being there is that Blitz didn’t even bring him through the portal and doesn’t even acknowledge his prescience giving the impression that Vox simply went through the portal on his own.
    • The glare that Vaggie gives him is really funny to. It’s also funny when the only time she stops glaring at Vox is to start glaring at Alastor instead.
    • In a clear jab to everyone in the audience who feels attracted to Alastor, Blitzo refers to him as "the freaky red guy everyone's into."
    • If you look closely at everyone when Alastor starts glitching out the video nobody really reacts to Alastor’s glitching except for Charlie and Blitzo.
