  • While Loona & Octavia are spending time together at the Mall, Stolas & Blitzo are out shopping for Hawaiian Shirts ending up with matching, crude shirts that are so hideous, Octavia immediately petrifies them upon sight.
  • Octavia is in utter disbelief to learn that Blitzo is not only dating her father, but also used to dated popstar Verosika Mayday. Even she receives undeniable proof from images on Loona's phone, that someone like Blitzo could be that lucky.
    Octavia: So, first he bangs a pop star and now my Dad. What, does his dick cure cancer?
    Loona: Maybe? With the way your Dad seems to want to suck him off every other day, I figure he must have at least a stage four ass tumor.
  • Moxxie is quite surprised by Loona's small subtle changes in look and personality in Chapter 6. He tries to ignore it and pretend it doesn't bother him, only to finally crack in the end, believing that this Loona is an imposter and demands to know what she's done with their regular receptionist. Loona just rolls her eyes and tells him to take out the garbage.
  • The Anti-Climactic end to Dr. Crest, after I.M.P., deals with his undead horde is pretty great.
  • While it's also quite terrifying, Rufus' instantaneous change from a cold, ruthless and terrifying debt collector for Blitzo to friendly and upbeat friend towards is kinda fun, in a jarring way.
  • Drakon Borowski may be a big, scary bear sinner, in charge of his own assassination company, but his fanboyism towards Verosika & his embarrassment from his coworkers' teasing of it, can quickly drain much of his intimidation. His reaction upon learning that Blitzo used to date, has him absolutely flabbergasted.
  • In Chapter 12, everyone's reaction to seeing Octavia holding an actual gun, is quite humorous.
  • After helping Octavia and Stolas with some gardening, Loona jokes that her father might think the two of them are romantically involved. The joke causes Octavia to have a large Spit Take much to Loona's amusement, and demanding that she take the first shower, after a trade of thrown pillows and middle fingers.
  • Blitzo & Stolas have a quiet movie night in Chapter 14, where they watch the infamous The Room (2003). Afterwards, Blitzo suggests they finally kill the photographer who took images of them and their kids during their playdate; only for Stolas to reveal he already petrified him and made him into a pigeon litter box. Blitzo jokingly calls the Prince cruel for this, causing Stolas to exclaim: "You are TEARING ME APART, BLITZY!"
  • It's pretty hilarious seeing Octavia, expertly defeat a team of grown, musclebound hellhounds in a game of frisbee, using her skills in ballet. Especially, with her victory cry of “Five years of ballet, bitches!
  • The Octavia's 18th Birthday segment comes to an end, when Alastor the radio demon shows up uninvited, gifting the princess with a sudden song and dance; closing out that the party took a "decidedly un-Goetic turn." During the next segment, we find out that Stella, the usually in control and stone cold perfection, was so outraged by the sudden turn of events she gave Alastor a Megaton Punch mid-song, sending the radio demon flying through a wall! As if that image wasn't humorous enough, the punch ends up becoming a meme on Deddit.
    • At one point during Loona and Octavia's emotional talk, it at one point evolves into them just saying "bitch" as often as they can in a single sentence.
  • After Octavia explains to her mother, why she loves Taxidermy and how it's a way for her to keep her beloved pets close to her after death, Stella jokes if she plans on doing the same to Loona. Octavia takes it surprisingly well, joking that she'd be bankrupt just by attempting to make her hair look right.
    • Seeing Octavia tear into and criticize a parody of Downtown Abby's portrayal of nobles and their fashion, is wonderfully delightful, given her own noble heritage.
    • The chapter ends on a heartwarming if humorous note, of Stella & Octavia sitting down to watch Castlevania, with some champagne. Stella decides to regale Octavia, of her & Stolas' honeymoon where they came across a factory with the lower class on strike from work. Stella's response was to organize a pillage with her fellow Goetias and captains, that ended with her and Stolas having sex on the battlefield. Her daughter's response is to demand one of their old drinking horns.
  • Loona gets to ride a horse with Stella & Octavia in Chapter 22. At first, she seems uncomfortable but able to handle it, comparing it to riding a running bike…until the two goth teens go for a ride by themselves; Loona claims to want to go all out on this run, and Octavia is more than happy to oblige, smacking the rump of Loona's horse, sending it into a wild run, that has the hellhound clinging to it for dear life all the while Octavia watches in amusement. Needless to say, Loona does not enjoy the ride.
    • It also leads to a fun bit of wordplay, with Loona calling Octavia a "first class, diamond-studded classhole."
    • Loona's horse misery doesn't end there, as she and Octavia get in the receiving end of a long line of slapstick. When they end their ride and dismount their horses, Loona ends up falling off her's landing right in the middle of large, disgusting pile of mud & shit, before being pissed on. Octavia has a good laugh at Loona's expense, only for karma to bite her in the bum, as she also falls off her horse and ends up face first in the piss stream; her beanie being stomped for good measure. From there, the two have a fight, throwing mudpies at each other, the horses leaving them to their fight, dropping their belongings on the ground and resulting in both of them getting soda in her faces, when Octavia tries to wash out the taste in her mouth. It makes for a fun series of escalation, as the girls suffer from one annoyance after another.
  • After the two of them make peace with each other, Stella inquires Blitzo on how he and Stolas regularly make love. Blitzo, while surprised at first, is more than happy to divulge everything he and the prince do in bed…while he's still in the room. When he brings this up, both respond in unison with: "Shut Up, Bitch."
  • Rufus & Stolas share a laugh over Blitzo being ambidextrous, the two making a few fun hand-based puns as a result.
  • After Blitzo's rousing speech in Chapter 35, Stolas points out his brief slip up when he referred to the prince as his boyfriend. The blushing response to which is great.
    Blitzo: "Hey, I had to say something, and boyfriend's a lot simpler than 'we laugh and we fuck but I don't know how to label it on my Hellspace profile yet so It's Complicated.'"
    Loona: "Get a Room!, you two."
  • Moxxie reveals that Blitzo always hides like a baby whenever the tax collector comes for his money. His boss promptly tells him to shut up.
  • After a nice and quiet chat between him & M&M about Rufus' relationship with Yoshimo and his reluctance to be public with it, Millie suddenly asks the Warden what sex with her is like. Rufus is flabbergasted by the sudden question, Moxxie rolling his eyes, to which Millie counters he would want to know what sex with the real Angel Dust is like. Her husband doesn't respond.
  • Wally Wackford shows up, amongst the many refugees inside Stolas' palace during the Extermination. His presence makes for good slapstick to help ease the tension of Heaven breathing down the necks of everyone.
  • The Exorcists eventually break into the palace via an open bathroom window. The gang hastily barricades the door, but the magic will take a minute to kindle and one of the beasts punches through reinforced wood to grab Moxxie by the throat. Millie's reaction is to grab Stolas' broadsword, which in her hands is tantamount to lifting a greatsword and cleave through all their reaching hands while shrieking "LET HIM GO YOU SPARKLY COCK GOBLINS! YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM! HE HASN'T PUT A BABY IN ME YET!!!."
  • Everyone wanting pancakes, steak and LOTS of booze after surviving Extermination Night.
  • After having a stressful couple of days, dealing with the Extermination Day and the aftermath, Rufus finally find some time to relax, with some music and privacy…only for that peace to be guttered, when Blitzo and his coworkers show up, all of them thoroughly and completely plastered, to get him to join in their celebration. The tired Warden's reactions to the group, before eventually joining in and even inviting Stolas at one point, who shows up in a simple shirt and lounge pants, is nothing short of great.
  • Once the Extermination and the worst of the Uproar are seemingly over, Blitzo is all the more eager to return to his cocky CEO self, cocking up several new ideas to drum up business utilizing their now semi-celebrity status, much to the chagrin of Moxxie, including charging for autographs and advertising themselves as Angel-killers; despite the fact that that they didn't even technically kill the one Exorcist.
  • While also rather off-putting and worrying, given what the trio have been through, it is rather humorous and a fun Mood Whiplash moment to hear Stolas, Blitzo & Loona erupt into fits of laughter after the prince reveals Pringles took the day off, while they encountered horrible eldritch abominations and found out about Octavia's true fate.
  • Angel Dust's introduction is priceless. He walks in and upon learning that Moxxie is a closet fan of him, he immediately begins flirting with the poor imp. While Millie initially steps in to talk him up, she then flips the table offering he join them for a night, to celebrate her husbands upcoming birthday. All the while Moxxie just stands there completely floored and flabbergasted.
  • Even in a universe as crazy and wild as this Hellaverse, where Heaven & Hell can coexist between Wonderland and Eldritch, Lovercraftian Horrors, even Lucifer scoffs at the suggestion that Scientology is real.
  • It's revealed that Lucifer cursed the Hazbin Hotel while drunk at once point, so that whenever he enters it plays none stop accordion and polka music, much to the annoyance of the residents with Vaggie cursing to try and stop it.
  • During their night of relaxation in chapter 51, the girls eventually end up talking about Tolkein. This leads to some really humorous exchanges, as Charlie hates that the movies cut out the songs from the books, which everyone else found to be immensely boring. Including her own girlfriend Vaggie, who couldn't even get past the second book, much to Charlie's horror. This then leads to a detour as they talk about various musicals, ending with Loona wondering if Octavia is the One Ring in this scenario. And asking if she'll have to drop her into a volcano by the time the quest is done.
  • Vaggie's exasperated reaction to Alastor of all demons giving them a genuine pep talk, believing they've all already gone insane, is very amusing.
  • After Rufus proposes to Yoshimo, before the day of their rescue, the captain not only accepts, but demands they get married right this instant. By Lucifer himself, much to the shock and amusement to everyone, including the emperor himself. Despite Lucifer trying to delay it, Yoshimo insists causing a brief and great wedding between the two lawmakers of Hell.
  • As a nice reminder of what the source material is like, the key to finding Octavia isn't some magic spell but an April Fools gag that made her scent stick out like a sore thumb.
  • In chapter 57, Yoshimo is forced disinfect Stolas' wounds using the waters of the Phlegethon, which is often depicted as a river of fire residing in the Greek Underworld. Upon learning where the water came from, Blitzo furiously comment why she didn't just straight up burn him with acid.
  • Loona increases her body temperature in order to keep a freezing Octavia warm. Blitzo decides to lean against her for the same reason, and we get this fun exchange:
    Blitzo: "I feel like I just went eight rounds with one of those trolls we took out last month. But daughters make the best heat rocks."
    Loona: "Don't call me hot. Ew."
    Blitzo: "Fine. You're comfortable."
    Loona: "I'll take it."
  • The rescue party is forced to ride upon Stolas, Vaggie and Yoshimo in order to get to the location quicker. Alastor is very much against this, and spends the majority of the ride scared out of his rocker, screaming and coursing. Just seeing that from Alastor of all people is absolutely hysterical.
  • Loona and Vaggie's playful banter at the start of Chapter 58 serves as some nice levity and humor before things turn to shit. The two have surprisingly fun dynamics despite their limited time together.
  • When Blitzo is impaled and nearly killed during the final battle, Rufus immediately rushes over to try and save the imp. His supposed reasoning? He still owes him money.
    Rufus: "God damn you, cheapskate, you can't die yet! YOU STILL OWE ME EIGHT GRAND!"
  • After revealing her pregnancy to Moxxie, Millie starts getting scared about the future and their future child, worrying that their trauma and the eldritch horrors out there might ruin this for them too. After giving his wife an passionate speech how they won't ruin this for them, he closes it out by declaring: "that evil one eyed cunt ." Leading to a very amusing bit of banter and bed talk.
    Millie: "Moxxie."
    Moxxie: "You heard me."
    Millie: "Ah did. And that was kinda hot. Do it again."
    Moxxie: "Fuuuuuck that Cuuuuuunt."
    Millie: "So dirty. Raaaawr."
    Moxxie: "Stop making me want to put another bun in your oven, woman. I—I'm trying to be serious, here."
    Millie: "Yeah? You're a pretty serious baker."
  • Instead of leaving him milk to go along with his cookies, Octavia left Krampus a six-pack of Castor and Pollux's homebrewed beer. The spirit is very thankful for the switch up and finds the drink very quenching.
  • In an amusing moment of Bathos, the quiet, tender, bittersweet and comforting moment between Octavia and Krampus, where the still recovering princess is about to reveal her gift, is amusingly undercut by Loona bursting in with a gun, still wearing her flannel P Js, threatening to shoot the spirit until she realizes who it is. The hellhound is briefly stunned speechless and the old spirit greets her warmly, cracks a small joke, heals her leg and politely asks her what she would like for Krampusnacht.
  • At the hotel, Angel Dust is in charge of hanging the star on top of the tree, playfully making it as erotic as possible with Husk there. Vaggie and Alastor decide to have a bet, though she insists it's a wager so he doesn't have to pay, over what will happen next. Vaggie wages he'll accidentally fall off the ladder, wreck he tree and land ass-first on Husk's face. Alastor meanwhile bets that he'll do it without harming the tree even a little. Ultimately, he does falls over, with his ass buried in the disgruntled bartender's face, though since it was a genuine accident and he didn't harm the tree, both lose the bet.
  • At the Stolas' family Krampusnacht party, Blitzo convinces Al to dress up Rufus as a Christmas elf, complete with a hideous Radio Demon themed sweater, and candy-cane themed pants. The mental image of seeing the usually serious warden in the get up is nothing short of grand.
  • Loona's hellhound friends join the party, with Castor & Pollux of course supplying the drinks. Stolas tries out their best stuff, and is soon completed shitfaced after only a few drinks, offering to buy out their entire stock and trade on the spot. Then being so blown away by the quality, he accuses it of being illegal and demanding Rufus to arrest them. A joyful scene to watch, if only for drunk Stolas.
