Go To

  • The joke on Crowley's new status, told in the same manner as his GO-canon one was: Crowley (A Demon who did not so much Rise as Get Dragged Up By the Scruff of His Neck).
  • The revelation that Crowley/Kireawal, just minutes after being 'born', decided to miracle himself things that wouldn't even exist for thousands of years just to make his life in Heaven easier - namely, his iconic sunglasses and car.
  • The new layers of Hell that the group gets to visit are certainly hilarious. Anyone who has ever read fanfiction will start cackling madly when Lucifer explains there are now layers for fangirls and one based on Uriel's fanfiction.
  • Serving as a Brick Joke (Haha) back to the first story, one moment in Paradise Thwarted is especially amusing. Just the image of Aziraphale standing, completely unsurprised, as he and Crowley get hit by a rain of bricks.
  • "The Gospel according to Michael" chapter. Told entirely in Michael's voice.
  • Gabriel being turned into Crowley's biggest fear: A mongoose.
  • Lucifer's utter joy at Crowley completing that task he had to complete so a demon could heal Aziraphale (it's complicated):
    "Ooo, he did it!" he exclaimed in joyful shock. "I can't believe it! I never thought what's-his-name had it in him. Spot. Sparky. Whatever."
    "Lord? Shall I send someone to heal the Principality?" Samael intoned.
    Lucifer snorted. "Psh. I don't care. I'm going to go kill Michael."
    • Also, Lucifer referring to Crowley as "Spot" for most of their conversations.
  • Death whining about Raphael making him feel guilty.
  • The return of the Running Gag—weaponized to get Lucifer to think over things.
    Aziraphale: Would you like some tea?
    Lucifer: Would I!
  • Belial's attempts to seduce the oblivious Uriel.
  • Crowley realizing his final, successful Fall was still part of the plan towards the climax.
  • Pollution vs. Pestilence. The other Horsepersons aren't too amused.
  • After Pestilence's zombie army falls off a cliff: "WE NEVER EVEN GOT TO REENACT THE THRILLER VIDEO!"
