"What the...?! WHY ARE YOU IN OUR FRIDGE?!"
If you're at all familiar with Vivienne Medrano's previous work, don't be surprised if you find yourself laughing hysterically at this show.

    Pilot 
  • The disclaimer at the beginning of the video stressing that the video's content is for adults, especially the crude drawing of Blitzo with a speech bubble reading "Me say bad words".
  • The tone of the office is established immediately when Blitzo 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:
    Blitzo: 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!
    Blitzo: 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-
    Blitzo: 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 Blitzo twirling a mustache in front of a burning building with the sign "Orphanage for Elderly Blind Newborn Dogs".
    • The picture of Blitzo 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, Blitzo 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 Blitzo going through the underwear.
    • Blitzo repeatedly stabbing someone in the head with a goofy expression.
    • In one of the freeze-frames, someone was crushed by a piano, then Blitzo 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?
      Blitzo: (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.
    • Blitzo 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. Blitzo, now outside the window, apologizes.
    • Faxing Moxxie an ad for 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 Blitzo the "clingy rich asshole" was on the phone again and wanted to talk to him, saying it was urgent.
      Loona: Sounds kinda DTF-y.
      Blitzo: (frustrated) Oh, god, it was one time!!!
  • It's revealed that Blitzo 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 Blitzo after a beat and gives a confused, "You what?"
    Blitzo: (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.
      Blitzo: Sorry, I fucked your husband! (awkward smile)
  • Stolas and his... graphic conversation with Blitzo.
    Stolas: You know what happens when I get lonely, Blitzy....
    Blitzo: 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—
    Blitzo: (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)
    Blitzo: And then you know that bridge over the freeway?
    Loona: Yeah?
    Blitzo: 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, Blitzo has this gem.
      Blitzo: Soooo, what can I do you for this time, Stolas?
    • The fact that Blitzo destroyed his phone with another phone.
    • Bonus points for Blitzo 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 Blitzo's phone and shit off a bridge for him just to get rid of Stolas.
  • Before that, Stolas informs Blitzo that he wants I.M.P to off a political candidate who's trying to convince people that global warming exists. When Blitzo points out that it does exist, Stolas says "Well, yes, but more people die if nothing is done about it."
  • Blitzo is a little too interested in Moxxie and Millie's home life.
    • He actually hangs out in their fridge. Especially funny is Blitzo'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:
      Blitzo: Spoiler alert, the butter's spoiled.
    • Moxxie wakes up in the middle of the night to find a purring Blitzo 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.
    • Blitzo recording Moxxie and Millie on date night.
  • Blitzo's reaction to finding out that the bratty child is actually the target they were hired to take out?
    Blitzo: Well, Christ on a stick, I guess there is a God. (immediately shoots Eddie)
  • Blitzo's closing speech is a mostly-professional spiel on the company's benefits that's juxtaposed over everybody desecrating and dismembering Eddie's corpse.
    Blitzo: 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."
  • 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.

    Helluva Shorts 
  • "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 senseless 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 knukle beatdown. By the time they're happily watching a movie, both are heavily bandaged and bruised.
