    The 007 Book 
  • Complete Monster: Dr. Julius Gorner is a pharmaceutical mogul who uses his position to mask his massive drug-running enterprise and vitriolic hatred for all of England. Peddling tons of heroin through the streets of London to addict as many youths as he can, Gorner uses his right hand psychopath Chagrin—real name Pham Sinh Quoc—to rip out the tongues of, stab the ears of, or just end the lives of any who cross him. Upon capturing and torturing James Bond, Gorner cheerfully shows off his massive drug factory where he uses drug addicts as slave labor until they drop dead and he quickly replaces them, all while regularly supplying his men with groups of women to gang rape and kill as "entertainment". Having subjected countless women to this horrible fate and threatening the same to Bond's lover Scarlett, Gorner's intended master stroke is to nuke a variety of Soviet cities, killing his own men in the process, and frame it all on England so that the country will be wiped out in a nuclear retaliation, all to sate his inferiority complex and unexplained rage against England.
    The Syfy Animated Series 
  • Alternative Joke Interpretation: At the end of the pilot, Beans asks Devil if "that" (a file folder stapled to his crotch) hurts. Devil replies "Fuck yes," with a strange expression on his face. Based on expression and personality, he's either saying "Fuck yes, this is the most pain I've ever been in," or "Fuck yes, and I am loving it". Knowing Devil though, it may very well be both.
  • Fridge Brilliance:
    • In "The Shipment", it's revealed that all of God's angels look exactly alike except for colour—it's also revealed that He evidently left these same angels in charge of creation on Earth. Looking at the identical angels, it makes sense why God would put them in charge of making life instead—He needed new ideas.
    • Why wouldn't it occur to Devil that humans don't like pain? The guy's a masochist, so he must have thought everyone else liked pain too.
    • Helen of Troy being in Hell makes sense if you subscribe to the idea that a nonbelief in the Christian God is enough to bar you from heaven. Helen was born in Ancient Greece, and so would have believed in ancient Greek or Roman gods.
  • Fridge Horror:
    • The first guy to get sent to Hell wasn't a bad person—he was just kind of gross and ignorant. Ever since, Heaven's standards have been keeping potentially great people from entering—donate everything to charity but talk too much because you love people? Hell. Spend all your time helping abandoned animals find homes, but maybe you tend to burp after eating? Hell. Sure, it's nice now, but for eons it was a place of torment and suffering. How many people were seperated from their more virtuous families for eternity just because of an annoying minor habit or two?
    • Hell is shown to be a single, huge city in the middle of a vast lava plain. While the city is nice and livable, there's no indication of any others like it—what's going on in the rest of Hell while Devil's mucking about with Chit-Chat?
    • Beans can't have been the only casualty in that freak bus accident—what happened to the rest of the souls who were either on the bus when it fell or standing nearby when the shrapnel started flying?
    • The Atheist and his friends all went to Hell, but the elderly neighbor woman who came to check on him is nowhere to be seen despite dying within minutes of him. If her final words were anything to go by, she had some really strong romantic feelings for him—if she truly went to Heaven instead of Hell, her worst fears are true and she really will never be with the man she loves.
    • Beans' rambling when Gloria picks him up in the pilot implies he was hooked on ketamine in life, and he later thinks of his run-down Hell apartment as an upgrade. The man's life may be quite a bit darker than we're initially meant to believe...
  • Funny Moments:
    • In the pilot, Devil tries a sexy roleplay with his wife and claims to be a pizza delivery man with no money to pay for the pie. When Regina points out that it's the customer who has to use that line, Devil just giggles and gives a cheesy grin as he's pulled into the apartment.
      • Later, while trying to deal with the widespread cat attacks, Devil is still naked from his time with Regina. Coma's solution is to staple a file folder to his penis, where it stays for the rest of the episode. It isn't mentioned again until the last lines.
    Beans: Doesn't that...hurt?
    Devil, eye twitching: Fuck yes!
    • Beans tries to involve Regina in a viral life hack video, reasoning that lots of videos only get views because they feature sexy women. Regina's demeanor through the whole thing is delightfully unimpressed, especially after the hack is done—she pauses for a beat and then awkwardly shimmies side to side.
    Regina, deadpan: Boobies, boobies, boobies.
    • From that same episode, McKinley's dancing in the "dance challenge" video is twerking.
    • In "The Date", Devil is so pleased by Beans' meet-cute that he starts sing-songing the words "Meet-Cute!" until a barista tells him his coffee comes to 92 dollars.
    Devil: For six cups?! A bargain!... Nope, ya broke me, that's actually bullshit.
  • Ho Yay: Devil is unusually touchy towards Beans, and has no problem with the latter seeing him naked.
