Hazbin Hotel - Episode 5: Dad Beat Dad

Welcome back, Hazbin Hotelians...At this point, Mista Malave has officially vanished. No note. No phone call. No excuse. The faculty has reviewed the situation and unanimously agreed to give him a big ol' F.

Today's Lesson: Episode 5 — Dad Beat Dad:

Tommy James keeps the semester rolling alongside Sabrina Ace and Mr. A-Town Ryan, who immediately confesses that he cracked under pressure and watched Episode 6 ahead of schedule. The man's supposed to be taking this class one episode at a time and instead he's speed running the curriculum.

This week, we check into one of Hazbin Hotel's biggest episodes yet as Lucifer Morningstar finally arrives at the hotel. Most people picture the Devil as some giant terrifying ruler of Hell. Instead, we got a short king with crippling self-esteem issues, an unhealthy obsession with ducks, and enough charisma to make everyone forget he's literally Satan.

We break down Lucifer's relationship with Charlie, his pissing match with Alastor that leads to the musical showdown that is "Hell's Greatest Dad." A song that somehow feels like Disney got drunk, wandered into Hell, and started writing diss tracks.

Also discussed:

• Sabrina's completely unbiased and definitely not concerning admiration for Lucifer

• Lucifer proving that confidence and insecurity can somehow exist in the exact same sentence

• Mr. A-Town accidentally becoming a Hazbin addict

• Tommy once again finding a way to compare something to Disney

Between family drama, giant egos, musical numbers, back flipping ducks, and one of the best character introductions in the series, this episode proves that Hell isn't run by the biggest demon in the room...it's run by the loudest one.
