* ResurrectiveImmortality: Nicky dies a bunch of times during his time one Earth, but since he's the son of Satan, he just ends up in Hell each time and can immediately go right back. The only time he's delayed by this is because [[spoiler:he ends up in Heaven instead]].

* AssShove: The ass is Hitler's. The shoved item is a pineapple. Apparently, by law, he has to receive an ass shove daily for his crimes. He gets to pick the pineapple, though.
** On the other hand, it's implied he is often forced to pick one of the larger ones. Ouch.
** It gets better: it's prickly-side first. Double-ouch!
