I'm not sure, but I think Alastor is the only main character that doesn't swear. Which I think makes sense, since he's a radio host from the 1930's, and I'm pretty sure they didn't allow swearing on the air back then.
I’ve heard people say the thing that makes Alastor the most terrifying is that you can’t tell what he’s feeling because of his constant smile, but I think there’s a more terrifying alternative. He’s not faking anything. He’s always smiling because just being in a place of misery and suffering, where he can get away with ANYTHING, makes him unbelievably happy
Notice when he said that it was QUITE a pleasure to meet Charlie, the radio voice effect dropped for when he said "quite." That means he's deadly serious that he's happy to meet her, or at least that's what I take from that.
A negative times a negative equals a positive, and BOY is their daughter positive. That girl has the purity of a DIsney princess and the optimism of Wander.
Alastor died in 1933, but Tom Trench is the oldest that we know of. A theory is that he died from a gas attack in WW1 in the trenches, hence his mask, and last name. Also, if I remember this right, Alastor was a serial killer, and a radio host in the early 1900s, and it’s theorized that he was shot by a hunter who though he was a deer, hence the antlers on his head. Vaggie died in 2014, the youngest, but it’s not known how. Katie killjoy died in the 1990s, but I can’t remember how she died. Angle dust was one of 3 siblings in a mob family, and either died from a drug overdose, hate crime, or during the second mafia war I think, placing his death in the 1980s, along with cherry bomb, though I don’t believe she had any relations to Angle before death. SirPentious died either in the Great Blizzard of 1888, or on the titanic, moving to the US to earn more recognition for his inventions. I really hope you see this, took a hot sec to type this up.
@@noox13 With the titanic theory, yes but according to the wiki, the great blizzard of the US is in the 1980s. Though I may be wrong. Also, I don't think there's much of anything on Husker.
Sir pentius and Baxter are the oldest so far. Since Baxter died in the 1910s but perhaps Tom might be older by a lil bit. Angel died in 1947 by a drug overdose Cherri died in the 80s
Vaggies design and some of the comments from the pilot tell me her death had something to do with her hatred of men and her design is very 'dont touch me' with lots of x's...sooo...take of that what you will
Here’s how I think nifty died: She was a little girl the 50’s that was born weak. Usually if a kid was born weak they would push them down a chimney and make them clean. Most of the time the chimney was lit, therefore making the kid fall into their fire demise. When nifty was “summoned” by Alastor, she was in the chimney fire and covered in ashes. That why she is so youthful and preppy to clean. That how I think nifty died, it kinda just falls into place.
That is an interesting theory but please realize they are in hell, and basically every character that was named in this was a serial killer. And once again, they ARE in hell so she kinda deserves to be there for something
@@awkisweird Well either way I'm pretty sure she is either based off of someone, evil obviously, or is just there as her own character without a back story as to why she's in hell. But from other comments I've read on the original video I'm pretty sure it was stated she's based on someone but can't remember what the story was
Characters that are driven by boredom are pretty easily aligned as Chaotic Evil because they just care about being entertained, so Yeah, I think Alastor is super dangerous
@@_XVIII_ Alastor is definitely Chaotic Evil though. Charlie I could interpret as Chaotic Neutral/Good (she is trying to reform demons because she cares about her people not because she cares about the good or evil) or Lawful Evil (she is a purebred infernal creature but she wants a system to avoid destroying hell on a yearly basis). Angel could be Chaotic Neutral (maybe evil leaning) he doesn't care about good or evil just getting what he wants he's a remorseless sinner but his sin of choice is lust and greed... he'll kill to protect what's his or he likes but he isn't just gonna outright kill you for no reason he'd rather "suck ya D" and he isn't needlessly cruel except unless his roasts count... but Alastor is pure evil that got bored and wants to spice up his shenanigans... He's the type of demon who does something good not because they aren't evil just because they got bored and had a whim and wanted to see what sorta things the peasants do once they learn that the Ultimate Relic of Forbidden Power that was given to them can be used for more than ending famine and disease 10 years later.
@@andveeterfeuerstein6265 There are many people bored with life doing all kinds of dangerous stuff, just because you're bored doesn't mean you're evil. That's why I don't believe in hell, cause there are no evil people, just people that think differently than you and have different morals than you and by human nature you don't like them and think that they are sinful and evil.
I think he’s more of a Lawful/Neutral Evil because I believe it was stated that he would not chase after any fleeing victims and he would not kill a child, possibly to the point of raising a child if he finds them abandoned.
Shinigami Sama i mean the idea of angels fighting and defeating demons isn’t new, just this interpretation within this context of that really makes it different
Maybe those are fallen angels. They definitely aren’t normal angels, as their punishment they are tasked with exterminating demons every year. Stuck between realities and if they try to defy whomever is sending them, they are placed in Hell and become full demons. Just my theory 🤷♀️
Shinigami Sama I mean, biblically, angels really aren’t that good looking, honestly. Like, they are described as being horrific and unsettling (even though paintings and statues have them looking very human-like). Angels are forces of good, but their looks tend to be amorphous. If the creator is aware of this biblical connection, that could explain why the angels in this show look as scary as the demons. But hey, I guess we’ll find out eventually. I’m also eager to know why Charlie is in Hell, considering she didn’t really do anything to stay there. Yes, I know that she’s the daughter of Lucifer and Lilith (?), but as far as I understand, you don’t go to Hell just because your parents were sinners. You have to earn going to Hell, and Charlie doesn’t seem like she deserves to spend eternity there. Again, I guess the show will eventually explain itself, but still. That just stuck out in my head the entire time.
RobbyTheRogue Also an older Viv reference, as she made a video with her dream voices for them a while ago and that song was her idea of what Alastor would sound like.
He also referenced the Crash of 29 as well as referring to TV as 'picture show' a reference that TVs were extremely new to him when he died. Heck, I'm sure he'd call a modern movie a 'Talky'
i also feel like they just used it to characterize him as old timey "misogynistic" because it has become increasingly rude over the last few decades to tell a woman to smile, but was pretty normal in his time
@Cameron Mendez I'm a woman and totally agree. I never got why other women get so pissed over something pretty much everyone, man and woman, gets told at some point. But yeah, /hellbound souls/ being sexist, racist, and homophobic, what a boundary-breaker, lol.
Yes but animation is always the last part of the project so that could have taken only 2 years one and a half if we're really dedicated however animatics were released I think three years ago so yeah this is Been a Long Time Project it's just I can't say how long the actual animation took
@@nekohallowking4762 I've not been following the news on this series only heard it from second-hand account so I haven't heard anything about planned episode length but then again I haven't heard anything about planned episodes. I know that they're not going through with any further episodes until the pilot gets full exposure and I think they're trying to get a network deal based solely off of that so it would be unwise for them to start so soon even if they hadn't expelled basically all their resources. Seriously though they do need a break after all the work they put into this Also even though there's not going to be any further production for the foreseeable future that doesn't mean that they aren't going to keep on writing obviously they are probably going to have I mean I assume they are going to be writing some stuff and jotting down ideas for future episodes. I'm sure they already had plenty of ideas in advance
Tae TM First please calm down a bit and Second during Charlie’s phone call it is implied that her mom does not answer the phone. “ I know you’ve been busy( really busy). “ So if the sound on her phone tells us her moms phone is disconnected that could be a reason why she’s not answering serving as a plot twist.
6:06 and 14:15 both those characters are voiced by Maxwell Atoms, creator of the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. Apparently the creator of this befriended him a while back.
To answer your question at the end Vivzie and some of the others did a Q&A after the episode launched and stated that they've not started working on further episodes yet and are waiting to see reactions to the episode and based on the level of attention and funding they get from the pilot they'll continue the series (Edit) To confirm some of the replies yes they've said that they plan to continue the series regardless, the funding and attention is mostly just to determine how exactly they continue from here. They would like to have the series picked up but still intend to continue even if it's just as an indie project, would just take a lot more time and effort between episodes.
Charlie was literally BORN in hell. Also she is a joke on how Lucifer (An Angel) fell from grace and became a demon while his daughter Charlie (A demon) is rising Edit: Also Satan and Lucifer are two different beings in this show.
Wait... So Lucifer is in charge yet Satan will be like some final boss esque villain? That sounds interesting. Like in that world all the stories connected to the two were simply blurred Because creatures of legend had very similar actions once he was sent there? I wonder how they'll handle that split.
For those who don't know Sisyphus was punished by Hades to roll a boulder up a steep hill only for him to trip and the rock to roll back to the bottom making him do it over and over again.
Yes, wholesome kids...in hell... But mad props to Vivziepop for this series, even though it's been tough on her and everyone working on it. The effort is there in every frame
And Charlie's mom was likely meant to be Lilith(the first wife of Adam who was banished from the garden for trying to dominate Adam, then was replaced with Eve that was made from Adam's rib. According to Christian mythology) And the Radio Demon is likely the spiritual personification of radio talkshows. Lol
Actually, Alastor was a southern radio-host and a serial-killer from the 30's. It's speculated he was accidentally shot and killed by a hunter who thought he was a deer, and that his powers comes from him drawing from the chaos of everything happening in the 30's.
Lilith was also the wife of Lucifer within Jewish lore, and the first Demon, after her arrival in hell due to her sins and transgressions. (Yeah so by jewish lore, sinners do become demons, which might be a worse fate overall if you think about it.)
I_Am_Dragoon hm one little petty thing, I believe that Lilith believed her and Adam to be created as equals, yet Adam kept trying to dominate her which led to her fleeding out of Eden. When Adam asked God to retrieve her God asked Lilith through angels and since God refused to consider her equal (which was her condition for returning) she didn’t and that’s where she became monstrous and considered an enemy.
I love how they show Charlie's "demonic" side when she sings of hell, burning and screams because she is the princess of hell but chose to be a good person.
That isn't them, they're quite possibly one of the bigger power demons that was supposedly toppled by Alastor, like the TV head man in the intro that's referenced in Vaggie's story.
"Don't ever let a reaction video be your first exposure to the subject matter." To my knowledge, this channel is one of the very few who cared enough to give that warning/advice. It's wisdom I have always followed, but the fact that you guys actually *said* it puts you above so many others, in my book. Thanks for that.
@@izumi4914 I kinda want to see her grow in power because I'm assuming she doesn't use a lot of it. the creater of it also said that it's like a leveling up system, although it might just be a joke.
Charlie's parents are Lilith and Lucifer. Just to clarify I absolutely love the pilot. A friend of mine work on the clean up crew for animation on this pilot, so I was able to get a little sneak peek every so often about this. I was definitely on board before the trailer even came out. I know the Creator and her team worked very hard on it, and it definitely shows. I look forward to anything else relating to this
6:19 You know what's sad about this part? The fact there 2 eggs making out in the background and in the end when Alastor is destroying the ship one of them is crying over the others dead body.
@@jjsstikbotvideos4421 yeah so there was lots of grabbing slashing and punching which means that she just completely threw out the window that she doesn't touch and gays
welcome to the Hazbinverse you gonna love it here :D Funfact you talk about Dr.Facilier. Alastor Is from new Orleans and died in 1933 vivzie stated he was a serial killer and radio host during his lifetime so Yeah :D
Love Alastar's sound, being the Radio Demon it makes sense obviously but goodness it's just so old school radio show and I always loved listening to those old news radio shows.
My two favorite jokes in this I think are one the drugstore sign you pointed that out I just love the sheer lack of ambiguity and just the fact that apparently a store's name is a full sentence. Second okay this one I couldn't tell if you guys noticed it or not but go back to the news scene and watch the scrolling text at the bottom. I didn't notice it until is pointing to out when that clip came out it was pointed out in the comments and so I watched it and I watched it on the slowest playback speed oh my God it is worth every single second
before i found the theory to alastor’s life, i genuinely thought alastor was falicier, the villian of princess and the frog. hes got friends from the other side AND in the other side!
"inside of every demon is a rainbow!" Angel Dust: *exists* Total side note from me, but Alastor creeps me out AND makes me so happy at the same time. NEED! TO! SEE! MORE!
I was listening to this with my headphones on and at one point I yelled at my cats “what do you want?” before I realized the audio was in the video. They must think I’m crazy.
Absolutely love Alastor :) His design, voice, how he acts. I cannot wait for more! Only thing about him is that he died in 1933, and the jambalaya reference could be a clue he resided in New Orleans.
When Megan said "I love the eye motif" it suddenly clicked, the eyes are the window to the soul after all (this is like my fifth time seeing the pilot lmao)
23:10 I like how his eyes switch from small murderous-looking pupils back to "normal" and the static or tuning sound that plays as if he snaps out of hell-lord mode and back to his "normal" non-murderous persona.
I'm so happy you guys reacted to this. It's such an entertaining watch, and I figured you guys would love it. Hope they keep going so you can watch more with us.
Think of Alistair as a kid playing GTA with cheats. He got past his "destroy everything" phase and now is doing the inevitable, "I am going to try to obey traffic laws in GTA" phase.
to give a random note for size scale: Charlie is 6 foot friggin' 2 so that must mean Katie Killjoy is like, 8 ft... otherwise known as: Death by Snu Snu.
Everyone is going for more lol. We have to wait sadly until they get more funding or hear any news from them lol they had the creator from billy and mandy in it so hopefully he helps them xD
Charlies mom is Lillith, the wife of Lucifer and the first Demon. By Judeo-christian lore she was the first women, created from the same clay as Adam, but was led astray by Lucifer and fell in love with him, being banished from the Garden of Eden for joining him, and upon her arrival in hell, was transformed into the first demon for her transgressions.
My headcanon: Alastor was known in life as Aleister Crowley. There's so much about him that fits, from his remarks about the Stock Market Crash, to the date he died versus when he arrive in Hell. Yeah, unless the story flat out tells us otherwise, I'm sticking to it.
21:04 First reactors I've seen realize that. If you think about it before that actually he pushes his friend out of the way before an egg dude shot that arm gun. Angel I feel might be redeemable.
The reactions to the episode was so fun to see, and I'm glad they find it to be good. I heard a lot of people didn't like it, but I find it very entertaining. I love this Hazbin Hotel.
Sir Pentious died in 1888 by snake poison (suicide or because of one of his experiments), Alastor died in 1933 because he was attacked by hunting dogs and mistaken for a deer by a hunter (he was a cannibal, a serial killer, and practiced voodoo and hoodoo), Angel died in 1447 from an Angel Dust overdose (he was in the New York mafia, hence his accent), Nifty died in 1953 (she was a maid (clean freak) for a rich family (idk what she did to get in hell though, maybe she killed someone), Husk died in the 70's by alcohol poisoning (he had PTSD from Vietnam and drank and gambled his problems away), Cherri died in the 80's during a turf war (she was in a gang), and Vaggie died in 2014 by suicide (using a knife, that's why that's her weapon). Some of this is fact some of it is what I think may have happened, so take it with a grain of salt. Also () is why they are in hell. Also angel’s face at 30:12
Based on all the portraits in the hotel, there is a strong possibility that Charlie's mom is Lilith. I understand that was the original plan as well, but I prefer to focus on canon evidence over meta confirmation, since some things inevitably change in the process of creation.
When alastor’s voice goes in and out of radio, when he’s out and sounds normal, it means his true intentions are showing through. So creepy and detailed and I love it!!!
9:14 Simple: one was born in hell and just so happened to turn out good. And the others was sent to hell but is actually seeking redemption...somewhat.
Sir pentious "...constrictive grasp" while crushing an egg with his tail implying that he's a bow constrictor and hisses every time he makes an s sound Two women "I think he's a snake"
I'm 40 years old and Hazbin is one of the most amazing pieces of animation I have ever seen, and I've been watching animation since the early 1980s. Don't sleep on this one, HH is going to be big. And if it doesn't it's going to be one of the biggest shames in the history of animation.
I have a theory that Heaven is just full of holier than thou pricks which would both explain why someone like Vaggie would be there and why they need a cleanse in hell every year, and that's going to be a big plot arc that shows that Charlie made everyone better souls, even Alastor, but heaven still wouldn't let them in
Creative Cupcake dear God, those two would either be best friends and destroy the world in their entertainment or just try and kill each other at the first meeting.
@@shadowwriter329 Ikr! And they both sound the same in voice type. Bill also has a slight radioish sounding demonic voice just like Alaster! He also has that same type of energy and fast-paced talking, as well as actions like Alaster! So many similarities to those two. I'm just sitting here hoping someone would make a crossover with those two. 💜
I'm not sure, but I think Alastor is the only main character that doesn't swear. Which I think makes sense, since he's a radio host from the 1930's, and I'm pretty sure they didn't allow swearing on the air back then.

I’ve heard people say the thing that makes Alastor the most terrifying is that you can’t tell what he’s feeling because of his constant smile, but I think there’s a more terrifying alternative. He’s not faking anything. He’s always smiling because just being in a place of misery and suffering, where he can get away with ANYTHING, makes him unbelievably happy
One active theory is that dropping the "radio voice" effects is a sign of him breaking through his usual facade and being deadly serious.
I read that smiling symbolizes for him superiority and victory. So his constant smiling is there to show dominance.
Ninjaananas i never thought about that, and got chills, but then you responded and made it even creepier, thank you-
Notice when he said that it was QUITE a pleasure to meet Charlie, the radio voice effect dropped for when he said "quite." That means he's deadly serious that he's happy to meet her, or at least that's what I take from that.
I believe it was said; something along the lines of it showing his superiority in some way? But that also would make a deal of sense-
Dad is Lucifer. Mom is Lilith... quite the power couple.
you can say that again

Tae TM First please calm down a bit and Second during Charlie’s phone call it is implied that her mom does not answer the phone. “ I know you’ve been busy( really busy). “ So if the sound on her phone tells us her moms phone is disconnected that could be a reason why she’s not answering serving as a plot twist.
"You alright there?"
"That just hit all my FNAF buttons all at once."

6:06 and 14:15 both those characters are voiced by Maxwell Atoms, creator of the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. Apparently the creator of this befriended him a while back.
N-NANI!?
I absolutely love the relationship between Vaggie and Charlie. They're so wholesome
Funny you mention that, they are a canon couple
@@sadlobster1 I know
@3Ragnu3 Thats impossible as Charlie was born in Hell and Vaggie was a human sent to hell.
Tristan Lawhorn they are a couple, but also bestie’s !!

To answer your question at the end Vivzie and some of the others did a Q&A after the episode launched and stated that they've not started working on further episodes yet and are waiting to see reactions to the episode and based on the level of attention and funding they get from the pilot they'll continue the series
(Edit) To confirm some of the replies yes they've said that they plan to continue the series regardless, the funding and attention is mostly just to determine how exactly they continue from here. They would like to have the series picked up but still intend to continue even if it's just as an indie project, would just take a lot more time and effort between episodes.
Hopefully they get the funding they need, this show is so good
Or pitch it to a company an hope that it’ll get picked up
@@0Magicallywild0 hell, HBO could be interested or VRV, I mean they have a lot of good series like Cyanide and Happiness and Camp Camp.
They said they wanted to continue making episodes, just haven't started
Omfg. It needs to be a full serious. Because I just need it to be! It's zo great.😭😭
Charlie was literally BORN in hell. Also she is a joke on how Lucifer (An Angel) fell from grace and became a demon while his daughter Charlie
(A demon) is rising
Edit: Also Satan and Lucifer are two different beings in this show.
Courage Wilkerson wait how? Did they say that?
aldrick universe
Look it up. It was confirmed by the makers
It’s also on the wiki page
Wait... So Lucifer is in charge yet Satan will be like some final boss esque villain? That sounds interesting. Like in that world all the stories connected to the two were simply blurred Because creatures of legend had very similar actions once he was sent there? I wonder how they'll handle that split.
Fariko Wishless
I really don’t know.
"Sisyphus is three doors to the left..." NICE.
That got a powerfull air expulsion from me when she said it i had to recover for a few seconds.
For those who don't know Sisyphus was punished by Hades to roll a boulder up a steep hill only for him to trip and the rock to roll back to the bottom making him do it over and over again.
And you wanted a shorter episode lol
@@robbieking4070 Yeh and capture Thatantos
@@robbieking4070 OH! I remember him now. I just forgot his name.
Yes, wholesome kids...in hell...
But mad props to Vivziepop for this series, even though it's been tough on her and everyone working on it. The effort is there in every frame
And Charlie's mom was likely meant to be Lilith(the first wife of Adam who was banished from the garden for trying to dominate Adam, then was replaced with Eve that was made from Adam's rib. According to Christian mythology)
And the Radio Demon is likely the spiritual personification of radio talkshows. Lol
Also note that Alestor would lise his static and start sounding really "real" whenever he'd be completely honest. :0
Actually, Alastor was a southern radio-host and a serial-killer from the 30's. It's speculated he was accidentally shot and killed by a hunter who thought he was a deer, and that his powers comes from him drawing from the chaos of everything happening in the 30's.
To tie into this, Charlie's father is apparently Lucifer. Who she technically takes after if you go by what he was originally.
Lilith was also the wife of Lucifer within Jewish lore, and the first Demon, after her arrival in hell due to her sins and transgressions. (Yeah so by jewish lore, sinners do become demons, which might be a worse fate overall if you think about it.)
I_Am_Dragoon hm one little petty thing, I believe that Lilith believed her and Adam to be created as equals, yet Adam kept trying to dominate her which led to her fleeding out of Eden. When Adam asked God to retrieve her God asked Lilith through angels and since God refused to consider her equal (which was her condition for returning) she didn’t and that’s where she became monstrous and considered an enemy.
I love how they show Charlie's "demonic" side when she sings of hell, burning and screams because she is the princess of hell but chose to be a good person.
Charlie: "And my dreams have all been denied"
Megan: THATS AWESOME!
I wonder what she wanted to do before opening the Happy Hotel. Maybe she wanted to travel to earth? Or heaven?
Charlie's parents are Lucifer and Lilith, the king and queen of hell respectively. And that was them in the portrait in the hotel.
@@teacupcarson4603 yes, when Vaggie is talking to Charlie about Alastor, hes looking at a family portrait of the three of them
I believe they are also in Charlie's opening number. I think that was Lilith opening the drapes and Lucifer sitting the background.
@@CarlosGarcia-fb9qs I don't think so, they didn't match the painting unless that was their demon forms.
That isn't them, they're quite possibly one of the bigger power demons that was supposedly toppled by Alastor, like the TV head man in the intro that's referenced in Vaggie's story.
@@juggerNOTtoday those are them in the painting. It's been confirmed.
The goat demons names are Razzle and Dazzle. Just FYI
I tought its Baphomet
Now we just need Glitts and Glamm
Good, thank you. Is hilarious that Razzle and Dazzle were just there just waiting for Charlie to start singing.
Chicago, anyone?
@@j.h-j5j they are also her bodyguards, stuffed dolls brought to life by her father when she was young
"Don't ever let a reaction video be your first exposure to the subject matter."
To my knowledge, this channel is one of the very few who cared enough to give that warning/advice. It's wisdom I have always followed, but the fact that you guys actually *said* it puts you above so many others, in my book. Thanks for that.
Also, at 31:37 when Nifty gets hit by the door, I could swear I heard r2d2 screaming.
If alastor is this powerful imagine her father coming in.
Popular fan theory: Alastor and Charlie's Dad are secretly one and the same.🤔
@@monsterhunter66 that's already debunked. By the creators.
Really? That's...very interesting.🤔
If Alastor is this strong imagine how strong Charlie might be if you push her too far and she snaps
@@izumi4914 I kinda want to see her grow in power because I'm assuming she doesn't use a lot of it. the creater of it also said that it's like a leveling up system, although it might just be a joke.
Charlie's parents are Lilith and Lucifer. Just to clarify
I absolutely love the pilot. A friend of mine work on the clean up crew for animation on this pilot, so I was able to get a little sneak peek every so often about this. I was definitely on board before the trailer even came out. I know the Creator and her team worked very hard on it, and it definitely shows. I look forward to anything else relating to this
6:19 You know what's sad about this part? The fact there 2 eggs making out in the background and in the end when Alastor is destroying the ship one of them is crying over the others dead body.
Let’s get an *F* in the chat for our fried chicken foetus/fetus couple that didn’t last even an entire episode.
Oh noooooo
It's funny because the girl said I don't touch gays but she ends up poking her five times through the last 8 minutes
Yeah, and then they had a fistfight lmao
@@jjsstikbotvideos4421 yeah so there was lots of grabbing slashing and punching which means that she just completely threw out the window that she doesn't touch and gays

welcome to the Hazbinverse you gonna love it here :D Funfact you talk about Dr.Facilier. Alastor Is from new Orleans and died in 1933 vivzie stated he was a serial killer and radio host during his lifetime so Yeah :D

32:06 the mixed reactions between happy grinning and utter dread is AMAZING. XDD
Love Alastar's sound, being the Radio Demon it makes sense obviously but goodness it's just so old school radio show and I always loved listening to those old news radio shows.
Kuuppon Same here! Old-timey radio shows are so fun!
@@megansalinas2789 I'm surprised that you didn't notice loonas beta design as well as blitzo
My two favorite jokes in this I think are one the drugstore sign you pointed that out I just love the sheer lack of ambiguity and just the fact that apparently a store's name is a full sentence. Second okay this one I couldn't tell if you guys noticed it or not but go back to the news scene and watch the scrolling text at the bottom. I didn't notice it until is pointing to out when that clip came out it was pointed out in the comments and so I watched it and I watched it on the slowest playback speed oh my God it is worth every single second
My name is Martha, going back and watching that was a little surprising
Wow. I feel accomplished just reading it. The blurr from slowing down the video so much made my head hurt. XP
Angels face when Niffty said why are you all lady's was PRICELESS
Ninja_ Wolflegend
wait he actuallt reacted to that? and i thought i was keeping a close eye on him throughout the past few times i seen this... damn
Opening song: (talking about how Charlie feels like a failure and her dreams are destroyed)
Megan: :D
Me during the song number towards the end: So THOSE are the friends that one guy on the bayou kept talking about.
LMAO glad I wasn't the only one! xD
I_Am_Dragoon righhttt!! Like it so similar to Princess and the Frog Voodoo Doctor even the dance scene was similar
I know rightttt hahahaha he also have friends on the other side 😂
before i found the theory to alastor’s life, i genuinely thought alastor was falicier, the villian of princess and the frog. hes got friends from the other side AND in the other side!
24:48 I LOVE your reference because I actually studied Greek Mythology.
Alaster: *breaths*
Katie: O-O
"inside of every demon is a rainbow!"
Angel Dust: *exists*
Total side note from me, but Alastor creeps me out AND makes me so happy at the same time. NEED! TO! SEE! MORE!
I was listening to this with my headphones on and at one point I yelled at my cats “what do you want?” before I realized the audio was in the video. They must think I’m crazy.
Absolutely love Alastor :)
His design, voice, how he acts. I cannot wait for more!
Only thing about him is that he died in 1933, and the jambalaya reference could be a clue he resided in New Orleans.
When Megan said "I love the eye motif" it suddenly clicked, the eyes are the window to the soul after all (this is like my fifth time seeing the pilot lmao)
Alastor and Angel Dust are my favorite characters so far. This series will definitely inspire some awesome cosplay. Lillith is Charlie's mom.
Those were pretty much the main characters of the pilot. Since charlie and vaggie didn't really do anything :p
It's weird how innocent the radio demon looks when he's humming
23:10 I like how his eyes switch from small murderous-looking pupils back to "normal" and the static or tuning sound that plays as if he snaps out of hell-lord mode and back to his "normal" non-murderous persona.
Vaggie and Charlie are the cutest couple.
@GamerBear Dang, you've got a point.
I'm so happy you guys reacted to this. It's such an entertaining watch, and I figured you guys would love it. Hope they keep going so you can watch more with us.
Is that fidget?!?
@@Bunihime It is indeed. I couldn't pass up using this as an avatar for something, because it's too gosh darn cute.
Think of Alistair as a kid playing GTA with cheats. He got past his "destroy everything" phase and now is doing the inevitable, "I am going to try to obey traffic laws in GTA" phase.
Interesting analogy.
"Wow! That was shit!" That's the best part xdd
to give a random note for size scale: Charlie is 6 foot friggin' 2 so that must mean Katie Killjoy is like, 8 ft... otherwise known as: Death by Snu Snu.
Everyone is going for more lol. We have to wait sadly until they get more funding or hear any news from them lol they had the creator from billy and mandy in it so hopefully he helps them xD
Charlies mom is Lillith, the wife of Lucifer and the first Demon. By Judeo-christian lore she was the first women, created from the same clay as Adam, but was led astray by Lucifer and fell in love with him, being banished from the Garden of Eden for joining him, and upon her arrival in hell, was transformed into the first demon for her transgressions.
*"DOWN AT THIS HAZBIN H-O-E-"*
A quote by Alastor
My headcanon: Alastor was known in life as Aleister Crowley. There's so much about him that fits, from his remarks about the Stock Market Crash, to the date he died versus when he arrive in Hell. Yeah, unless the story flat out tells us otherwise, I'm sticking to it.
21:04
First reactors I've seen realize that.
If you think about it before that actually he pushes his friend out of the way before an egg dude shot that arm gun.
Angel I feel might be redeemable.
Thank you for insisting we watch the actual video! I've watched it like eight times now, so I can watch reactions guilt free! ^_^

3:25 "and my dreams, have all been denied." thats awsome!
I was hoping either of you guys would react to this, hopefully you continue this
The reactions to the episode was so fun to see, and I'm glad they find it to be good. I heard a lot of people didn't like it, but I find it very entertaining. I love this Hazbin Hotel.
IT TOOK THEM 4 YEARS (at least that’s what I remember, feel free to correct me) AND THEY MADE A HECKING *MASTERPIECE*
Sir Pentious died in 1888 by snake poison (suicide or because of one of his experiments), Alastor died in 1933 because he was attacked by hunting dogs and mistaken for a deer by a hunter (he was a cannibal, a serial killer, and practiced voodoo and hoodoo), Angel died in 1447 from an Angel Dust overdose (he was in the New York mafia, hence his accent), Nifty died in 1953 (she was a maid (clean freak) for a rich family (idk what she did to get in hell though, maybe she killed someone), Husk died in the 70's by alcohol poisoning (he had PTSD from Vietnam and drank and gambled his problems away), Cherri died in the 80's during a turf war (she was in a gang), and Vaggie died in 2014 by suicide (using a knife, that's why that's her weapon). Some of this is fact some of it is what I think may have happened, so take it with a grain of salt. Also () is why they are in hell.
Also angel’s face at 30:12
Angel Dust died in 1947
40:08: Alastor: "Stay tuned, folks."
And my dreams have all been denied...
That’s awesome.
The gals reaction to 23:04 is just priceless, pretty much what I though, its so damn unnerving but absolutely awesome at the same time.
Based on all the portraits in the hotel, there is a strong possibility that Charlie's mom is Lilith. I understand that was the original plan as well, but I prefer to focus on canon evidence over meta confirmation, since some things inevitably change in the process of creation.
35:21: Vaggie: "He's an unpredictable source if danger."
Maybe she is right because Alastor must have made lots of enemies that might want revenge.
When alastor’s voice goes in and out of radio, when he’s out and sounds normal, it means his true intentions are showing through. So creepy and detailed and I love it!!!
They plan to make more episodes but the next episode has no set release date.
My friend is Kenny Phillips and he's a sound designer for this show
9:14 Simple: one was born in hell and just so happened to turn out good. And the others was sent to hell but is actually seeking redemption...somewhat.
10:38 "hi Natsuki" nice DDLC reference.
Sir pentious "...constrictive grasp" while crushing an egg with his tail implying that he's a bow constrictor and hisses every time he makes an s sound
Two women "I think he's a snake"
I adore that this pilot exudes "Fuck it! Why not?".
That’s literally Allistors entire motivation
I can see a T-Shirt of "I would have done so already".
" Black Hat , what are you doing in this- "
🤣
35:30: YES! Thank you for mentioning this! :D
I'm 40 years old and Hazbin is one of the most amazing pieces of animation I have ever seen, and I've been watching animation since the early 1980s. Don't sleep on this one, HH is going to be big. And if it doesn't it's going to be one of the biggest shames in the history of animation.
"Hardet daddy ~"
" son! O,O"
I have a theory that Heaven is just full of holier than thou pricks which would both explain why someone like Vaggie would be there and why they need a cleanse in hell every year, and that's going to be a big plot arc that shows that Charlie made everyone better souls, even Alastor, but heaven still wouldn't let them in
Charlie's mom is Lilith the first woman and wife of Adam
6:01 I love how angry she sounded when she said that XD
29:35: I LOVE ALASTOR! XD
"Wow! .... That was *shit* !"
From the creator of the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy XD
11:30 that imp sure looks like he's one Helluva Boss.
It apparently is them! They just had a redesign

best reaction of the show i've watched so far!
I missed you ladies. Glad to have you back! It was a joy to watch you react to this wonderful program. More, please...
Vaggie: You don't want to make a deal with him.
Me: Bill Cipher?
Creative Cupcake dear God, those two would either be best friends and destroy the world in their entertainment or just try and kill each other at the first meeting.
@@shadowwriter329 Ikr! And they both sound the same in voice type. Bill also has a slight radioish sounding demonic voice just like Alaster! He also has that same type of energy and fast-paced talking, as well as actions like Alaster! So many similarities to those two. I'm just sitting here hoping someone would make a crossover with those two. 💜
Me wants crossover (1)
Fun fact, the wee goat demons that help Charlie in her song are called Razzle and Dazzle
"Smiling God" ... Does that mean they listen to Nightvale?

I saw an animated bit in the trailer with the creepy angel things from the opening of the pilot conducting the purge
Y'know, it's so *jarring* to see the two of you sitting the other way around. Eh, fitting, for a show that throws you off-balance like Hazbin Hotel...
