The Anti-Hero (or the villain) has finally perished and gone to the afterlife. Of course, his track record denies him entry to Heaven, so he finds himself tumbling to that Other Place. But the strange thing is, it doesn't seem to be that horrible. Sure, there's fire everywhere, the paintwork's flaking, and the occasional moans of the damned ruin the ambience a tad, but overall, it's a place you could get used to. Often combined with the Ironic Hell (if a particularly Jerkass character dies, then Hell for them may well involve being showered with love and pretty pink ponies), or Lord Satan just not wanting the badass hero to screw things up for them. Sometimes, it can be that Hell is only a nice place to the evil — the merely "not quite good" still suffer for all eternity. Of course, if Satan Is Good, all bets are off — Hell may even be a nicer place than Heaven. Also often combined with Rock Me, Asmodeus! and The Dead Can Dance. Joining the fun may be the motivation for the Hell Seeker, and someone who thinks damnation is fun will likely be Not Afraid of Hell. Hell of a Heaven is the inverse, when Heaven isn't all it's cracked up to be. Usually a form of Mundane Afterlife. See also Unishment and Too Kinky to Torture. |

Hell starts out as a spectacularly horrible aversion in The Salvation War, but once the human invasion force arrives things improve noticeably, with Julius Caeser recreating the Roman Empire. They even find oil and tons of minerals in hell. | |

Most of Nippon Ichi's titles (Disgaea, Makai Kingdom, etc.) take place in various Netherworlds, hellish realms populated by demons and monsters... who are having a fairly normal and good life, generally. The demons claim that they are all evil and terrible and all, but most of them live fairly normal, decent lives with only the occasional Poke the Poodle moment. The worst they can get is beating up someone for angering them or taking their stuff by force. Sinners ending up there tend to become full demons and have ample opportunity to kick butt and get comfortable around the place. Serious sinners have to work off their debts as prinnies first, though. | |

Although Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey mostly features Ironic Hells tailored to the characters, a deleted scene would have added some aspects of this; before catching Satan's attention, the duo would have been forced by a demon to break rocks with hammers. Bill discovers he actually really enjoys doing so. In-Universe, however, this is averted when the guys see Hell and say "We got totally lied to by our album covers, man." | |

Magical Pokaan has Yuuma going to Hell after being involved in a romance with a ghost. However, after finding out she'll be doing stuff like stacking stones for eternity, she thinks she might as well get used to it and enjoy herself. As a result, she gets kicked from Hell into Heaven. She finds Heaven boring, though, so she's sent back to Japan. | |

In Achewood, everyone drives a 1982 Subaru Brat, there's a KFC, a Best Western where Robert Johnson performs (and the wallpaper mocks you), and a Friendly's that contains the secret to escaping. If you try calling your still-living loved ones on a payphone, your side of the conversation is secretly replaced with a random telemarketer's pitch. The Alt Text sums it up nicely: "Hell is kind of a weird place". | |

The Simpsons: A episode has Bart experiencing a vision of Hell after being hit by a car. This version is directly inspired by the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch, but Satan seems like a fairly affable guy who takes an immediate liking to Bart, and sends him back to Earth with an apology when he finds out he shouldn't be dead yet, though he reminds him to "lie, cheat and steal" as he does so. In another episode, a church carnival has a mirror that shows what you'd look like in Hell. When Lisa looks into it, she sees herself in ragged clothes being eaten at by flames. When Mr. Burns looks into it, he sees himself dressed as a king and eating Smithers' head like a candied apple. "Excellent!" "Treehouse of Horror IV" features Ned Flanders as Satan (explaining "Always the one you least suspect") who manages to get Homer to sell him his soul for a doughnut. Though Homer is able to wrangle out of this before an infernal court trial he still is consigned to hell for a day. Hell is played dead straight as a place of suffering and torment, but an attempt at Ironic Hell backfires as Homer is fed all the doughnuts in the world in an attempt to drive him mad; it fails as, much to the annoyance and bewilderment of the demon "torturing" him, Homer genuinely enjoys the experience and keeps asking for more donuts. |

A Simple Survey File 13 features a world where humans discovered a mean to view hell and discovered it was actually a beautiful beach resort. The demoness Ashtart claims that demons are too lazy and contrary to follow their assigned role of punishing the wicked, instead building an afterlife that might be more pleasant than heaven. Potentially subverted when Gabriel appears at the end and warns that the resort is just an illusion to lure in humans. | |

In one Beavis and Butt-Head episode, Beavis dies after striking his head and goes up to Heaven (though it later turns out it's All Just a Dream). Beavis ultimately finds it boring and after reviewing enough of his deeds in life Saint Peter ultimately decides to send him down to Hell. Beavis has a much more positive reaction after arriving there. | |

Cuphead: Hell's Casino looks like a classy joint full of wealthy supernatural entities. The ostentatious luxury and glamour is evident as you battle King Dice. Of course, then you consider that all the spirits here gambled their money and lives away. Worse still, when you go down into the basement for the final battle with the big guy himself, you find a much more traditional Hell. Lampshaded in the final boss' title screen and in the bad ending, where the Devil tells the player they will have one hell of a time. | |

One Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal strip featured a man being presented with a banana split by a giant demon. When the man comments that it doesn't have enough whipped topping, the demon shouts, "That's because you're in Hell!" The comment notes that because demons are mostly fallen angels, they're not very good at torturing people. And then, as SMBC does, it goes one step further. | |

In Paradise Lost, Mammon suggests making Hell look like Heaven by applying "Gemms and Gold" to the realm as the demons grow accustomed to their tortures. The trope is subverted when Beelzebub points out that God didn't put the demons in the Inferno to create a happy empire, but to imprison them in a dungeon still under the rule of his iron scepter. Whatever they design, Hell will always be Hell. | |

Glowfic features Downside, initially a Mundane Afterlife managed by the Admin, an omnipotent Cosmic Packrat, who dislikes things ceasing to exist and doing anything. Some people bothered her into separating it into the eponymous Downside and Upside, having people going downside tortured. Naturally, the Peal of Bells takes over and gives the whole place an overhaul, creating this trope. | |

Rocko's Modern Life: In "Heff In a Handbasket", it's revealed Heffer's cranky grandma has gone to Heck, but she isn't tortured or anything. (In fact, she bosses around the demon who is supposed to be her overlord!)

SCP Foundation: SCP-6167 is an abandoned dimension that once was a hell that didn't go as its creator intended. The prisoners were a group of immortal beings that suffered from Horror Hunger, and the only thing available to eat was each other. They were expected to spend eternity fighting and eating each other in an endless war, but instead they figured out a way to cooperate with each other by having one prisoner act as a food source for everyone else and they would all take turns until they eventually escaped. | |

In The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Daedra seem to be the resident equivalent of demons, therefore making the realms of Oblivion the equivalent of Hell. Sure, Dagon's plane isn't all that great, but, say, hanging around Sheogorath's realm of Oblivion is quite fun, making this a straight example. Somewhat. Sanguine, despite looking like a Big Red Devil, is the fairly friendly Prince of Debauchery. His realm is a drunken feast in a misty grove, very much Dionysian. Hircine has those hunting grounds of his, where his own followers (werewolves, for example) go on an eternal hunt as his hounds. One long plotline in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim involves a member of the Companions who wants to get out of this reward so he can go to Sovngarde instead, but most of the others are fine with the idea. |

Al Bundy's hell in the Married... with Children episode "Damn Bundys" shows the devil (play by Robert Englund) punish him by giving him only Weenie Tots (his favorite food) to eat because it'll make him go to the bathroom for long periods of time (the reason why is his favorite food) and not allowing him to see his family ever again, so from his perspective, is heaven. However, once Satan figures this out, he quickly turns it on Al when the rest of the Bundy's, along with Marcy and Jefferson, also end up in Hell (the family died in a car crash after taking Al's body to the dump, and Marcy and Jefferson slipped and died while dancing on Al's grave). Satan subjects Al to a Fate Worse than Death - eternity with his family pretty much exactly like their old life, with a few added infernal punishments (Peggy can't buy stuff from the Home Shopping channel because her hands have turned into hooves and she can't lift the phone, Kelly keeps scaring off all her boyfriends because her face turns into a monster, and Bud's hands have become lobster claws and keep popping his sex dolls). | |

The Discworld book Eric features the Disc's version of Hell and the description of how it used to be before the book's villain took charge doesn't sound that bad - people did get tortured, but since they didn't have physical bodies this wasn't a problem and the demons were quite friendly. But the new management has switched to psychological torture by boring the souls of the damned out of their minds. | |

Played with in Hazbin Hotel and its sister show Helluva Boss. On one hand, Hell's denizens are seemingly allowed to do whatever they like. On the other hand, "whatever they like" usually means all kinds of mayhem, and the overpopulation is so bad that Heaven sends death squads once a year. Despite this, the characters who are most miserable in Hell aren't the sinners who were sent there, but rather any native-born demons who somehow ended up developing strong moral compasses, such as Princess Charlie (in the former show) and Moxxie (in the latter). | |

Played with in Bongo and Luna. When Luna died and landed in Hell, it wasn't a picnic to a sane person. Lakes of boiling blood, gigantic and horrid demons with vibrator tipped pitchforks (She landed in the Lust section) and so on. But to Luna, it may as well have been Heaven. Even with the aforementioned demon. | |

In Overlord: Raising Hell, the Heaven's Peak Abyss is this for the women, as part of its being an Ironic Hell for Sir William and the men. As well, although the Mellow Hills Abyss is intended to be torture for the human peasants, since it's only an Ironic Hell for Melvin and his Halfings some of them see being chained to a wall forever in a Fire and Brimstone Hell as an improvement over toiling as your slaves for the rest of their lives — as one puts it, "In the warm, a bit of a stretch, giant exploding halfling to watch. What more could a man want?" | |

In the infamous The Twilight Zone (1959) episode'' "A Nice Place to Visit", this trope is actually used as a punishment; the Villain Protagonist also requests to be transferred to Hell in implicit hopes of a more straight case of this, immediately before being informed that This Isn't Heaven. | |

Hircine has those hunting grounds of his, where his own followers (werewolves, for example) go on an eternal hunt as his hounds. One long plotline in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim involves a member of the Companions who wants to get out of this reward so he can go to Sovngarde instead, but most of the others are fine with the idea. | |

Old Harry's Game is set in Hell - and while the descriptions of individual punishments sound unpleasant (The Devil's Bumbling Sidekick is ordered to literally eat himself for instance) they don't seem to actually bother the protagonists much, or last long. The unhappiest person actually appears to be Satan himself, a miserable, self loathing prison warden who can never escape his job and only painfully remember his days as an angel. | |

In Something*Positive, Hell is an eternal ferret rave. The chains and fire and brimstone for wicked souls are there too, but still... ferret rave! Additionally, Hell turns out to be where Pepito and Avogadro are reunited. True hell for Pepito, although Avogadro apparently is a thorn in the side of the local administration by complaining that there isn't enough torture. |

In the Incarnations of Immortality series, Hell is definitely a bad place, but the current Satan has instituted various "reforms" to make it more efficient, and has also visited Heaven and found it to be dreadfully dull. More literally, he's set up a special annex of Hell for the souls that properly belong in Heaven but were misclassified. This annex is really nice, the way Heaven is supposed to be, and when he does finally manage to get an exchange program set up, most of the souls don't want to leave. This also gets a playful nod in earlier books, where Hell is actively advertising how much more fun it is than Heaven, complete with a pair of comical devil mascots. | |

In Slightly Damned, punishment in Hell ranges from "tortured to death on a daily basis" to "absolutely nothing at all". As the title implies, we don't see much of the former, though the latter could be considered a punishment by boredom that comes close to sensory deprivation as The Ring of Slightly Damned features: small brown rocks, big brown rocks, huge brown boulders, brown plains, brown mountains and brown cliffs as far as an eye can see. Understandably, the number of inhabitants is one-digit. | |

Dr. Greta Helsing: What's shown of Hell is a mixture of this and a Mundane Afterlife — the Lake of Fire has a fantastic health spa (staffed by one Dr. Faust), the City of Dis has plenty of good restaurants, and existence there is fairly normal except for the residents' assorted horns and tails. Visitors tend to enjoy themselves after the initial Supernatural Angst at being escorted to Hell by demons. | |

The video game Atlantis 2 (also known as Beyond Atlantis) portrayed the Chinese Hell as not scary at all, and the only "hellish" thing about it was the Obstructive Bureaucrat running the place. People could also freely enter and leave it, at least living ones. It also portrayed the Mayan underworld, Xibalba, as a tropical paradise overseen by a slightly insane bat-god. | |

Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun has a variation. Suzuki Iruma had a terrible life on Earth, with abusive parents always exploiting him, and one day, his parents sold him to a demon and he is taken alive to the underworld, which is not a place where dead humans go; it's a world populated by demons and demonic animals. The demon who bought and adopted him turns out to be a nice guy who treats him well, gives him everything he wants and he gets to live in a mansion. He is allowed to eat all the food he wants, demon food looks scary and gross but he likes it, while in the human world he constantly starved. The wrinkle to all this is that when he has to go to school, he must keep the secret that he is human or else the other demons might eat him. At first he is scared, but he quickly likes his colleagues who become his real friends, some demon girls also become his love interests. on Earth he had no real friends, his parents didn't even allow him to go to school, at one point he realizes how his life in hell is much better than his past life and doesn't want to go back to the human world. The plot slowly explains why the demon world looks so nice and peaceful; demons used to be barbaric creatures that preyed on humans as food and had a lot of fights between them, but they slowly became a more organized society and mundane entertainment like music, sports and videogames are making demons calmer. Of course, the story slowly shows the downsides of living in the demon world, when he befriends a demon that at first looks kind and calm, but it's just a façade, he wants to bring demon society back to what it was and plans to blow up the entire school and kill all the demon students and teachers. Not all the demon brutality is gone, anger and stress can still bring back their natural instincts, and the school still has torture classes, and of course, Iruma needs to keep the secret that he is human intact. |

Résurrection, the Hell of Franco-Belgian comic Requiem Vampire Knight, is a bizarre inversion of the Earth where the oceans and continents exchange place, time flows backwards and people are resurrected as various fantasy monsters like vampires, werewolves, ghouls etc. Most importantly however, the world is completely unjust; the more evil you were in life the better you are rewarded in hell, so the people who committed the worst evils are resurrected as vampires and form the top clique in the world's demonic society, while petty criminals are resurrected as zombies that languish at the bottom as either slaves to the vampires or scavengers out in the vast plains where people first enter hell. The worst off, though, are the Lemures (or as the English translation somewhat inexplicably labels them, Lamias) — the setting's ghosts, these are good people who died as victims of someone who qualified for this world, and have to live in Résurrection as eternal victims, only able to escape if the person responsible for their being condemned to Résurrection is "expirated". The one perk is that they get to torment their killers in their sleep. | |

Used in Good Omens, where an angel and a demon discuss who gets the better entertainment (Hell wins, as all Heaven has is Elgar and The Sound of Music for all eternity). Overall, however, Hell is said to be extremely unpleasant. The real point of the argument is that the Earth, possessing the best of both worlds, should be saved. | |

It's a Fire and Brimstone Hell straight out of Doom, complete with demon soldiers, imps, barons of hell and a Cyberdemon... in other words, exactly the sort of thing that two spree killers who played tons of Doom would enjoy. It ends with the two defeating Satan himself and becoming his minions. | |

Venom's act is to rid the world of Bill Gates, but even in death he remains incredibly wealthy, so much so that he winds up buying Hell out.

Inverted in the Chick Tracts. Apparently, hell is presented this way in the media and/or among roleplaying gamers, Satanists and other sinful people. One comic had someone arriving in hell and expressing disappointment that it is not a huge party and another one had a sign at the gates of hell reading "Welcome to Hell. All parties canceled due to fire". | |

In Hell(p), the afterlife doesn't seem to have any rules. You just get transferred to a normal-looking location and then you're pretty much on your own.

Notably, the song isn't a literal depiction of hell - the narrator is in a hellishly turbulent relationship, and compares his girlfriend to a "demon" for doing things like cheating and spending all his money, but concludes "hell ain't a bad place to be" as long as she keeps making love to him. | |

Guitar Hero 3's final stage has you learning that your manager Lou is actually the devil in disguise, after you try to get out of your contract. He drags you to hell... Where you rock out a ridiculous concert with demon dancing girls on stage and in cages. You're doing so well he thinks you'll be able to get out of his arrangement, so he challenges you to a guitar duel. Over a heavy-metal version of Devil Went Down To Georgia. | |

Subverted in the Yogscast Minecraft parody video Screw The Nether. The Nether (the Minecraft equivalent of Hell) is at first presented as a great place to live, but any benefits it has to prove to be overshadowed by the incessant mob attacks. Lewis Brindley then goes into a rant about how he misses the Overworld, as well the fact that the titular dimension's hot and never rains, before leaving for the Overworld. | |

Toyed with in the first series of Black Adder. After being appointed Archbishop of Canterbury, Edmund is charged with ensuring a nobleman leaves his lands to the crown instead of the church. He does this by explaining that Heaven is for people who like praising God and watering pot plants, while Hell is for pillage, adultery, and so on (the nobleman admitted to all of these, including incest with his own mother). Judging from the man's reaction just before dying, this is probably not true, though this might just have been his death throes. | |

The setting of Jimmy Two-Shoes, Miseryville, is implied to be Hell (and was explicitly Hell during development). Despite being run by Lucius Heinous VII, who is absolutely determined to make everyone miserable, Miseryville looks pretty tolerable. Probably because A) Lucius is incredibly incompetent (at least compared to his predecessors); and B) Jimmy is endlessly positive and aims to make everyone in Miseryville happy. And that's without mentioning Lucius' top inventor and one of Jimmy's best friends, Heloise, who, while very competent at her job of making machines to spread misery, also enjoys giving Lucius a hard time, and the best way to ruin his day is to make things fun for everyone else. This includes the time she pranked him to think he lived in Smilesville, where everyone was happy, or when she tricked him into running a funfair by making it sound like something people would hate. | |

Early on in NationStates, the game developer gave players who were in control of their Regions the power to enforce their own regional rules by ejecting whoever they wanted to a "desolate wasteland" region named The Rejected Realms. Some of the players promptly took the Rejected Realms over and totally reinvented it. Several years of this trope later, it's an exceptionally well-respected region that prominent figures in the community regularly emigrate to on purpose. | |

Iron Maiden would like to remind you that "Hell ain't a bad place; Hell is From Here To Eternity". But they also told us of "the evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair". Maybe it's only not a bad place for girls like Charlotte. | |

Most of Hell in Unsong is a Fire and Brimstone Hell, but the very worst sinners get luxury treatment. Partly to encourage people who think they are going to hell to sin as much as they can and partially because, "These places pay for themselves, evil-wise. I just give everyone who died in the Holocaust a little magic stone that lets them know what Hitler’s doing at any given moment, and you wouldn’t believe how they howl." | |

In Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, the setting embraces Buddhist beliefs of the afterlife, with hell being a place of extreme damnation where those who end up there will be tortured for as long as it takes until their souls are cleansed to be reincarnated, as the series progresses we see several demons getting their ticket to hell, however, after the series’ end Gotouge made an oneshot chapter contained in the second Databook that is curiously humorous in tone, yes it shows many of the key demons faced in the story stuck in hell but instead of being tortured they are just having a group meeting, talking to each other about how they died, to which Breathing techniques they were killed with, only Muzan seems really annoyed while everyone else just accepts their situation. Then the chapter ends, revealing it is just a dream by Goto after Muzan's defeat, erasing the image of a funny hell. | |

South Park: Hell is completely inconsistent. Sometimes it'll be a place of suffering and torment, and sometimes we'll drop in on Satan throwing a luau of the damned and people having a decent time (except for the occasional demon mauling). What is somewhat consistent (or at least given the occasional Continuity Nod), though, is that it contains everyone who isn't a Mormon. From what they've shown, Heaven seems like a pretty boring and annoying place filled with stereotypical Mormons. The reason could be that Satan in this show is a flippant and fickle Manchild, so Hell is probably oscillating between this and a "regular" Hell, depending on his whim. This is pretty much confirmed in an episode where Satan broke up with his boyfriend. He addresses the damned with his Fire and Brimstone Hell spiel but breaks off in the middle, saying that he is not in the mood. One of the episodes also shows that Satan only does the whole fire and brimstone thing with real sinners. Because of the "only Mormons get into heaven" thing, he doesn't bother punishing those who just wind up down there for having the wrong religion. This was lampshaded in the show itself. When Saddam Hussein proves to be too much of a hassle for Satan himself, what does he do? Gets God to send him to Heaven. |

In Jacques Offenbach's operetta Orpheus in the Underworld, the gods hold a massive party in Hell and dance to the most well-known can-can tune. Though it's not the same thing as the Christian hell, in ancient Classical Mythology, hell is practically a portmanteau synonym of afterlife. | |

Hell in Dragon Ball Z is... Different. Namely it's guarded by ogres (oni) instead of demons, and everyone's soul (that isn't special - i.e. plot relevant) is just a little fluff cloud, but it's mostly a pretty decent place and you see things like a couple of souls having a romantic boat ride (in Blood Lake), a group of souls organizing a field trip (up Needle Mountain) and just generally a kind of do-as-you-please attitude. Well except that one time Janemba broke reality... Lampshaded in Dragon Ball Z Abridged, in which, upon Freeza taunting Goku by claiming that Vegeta went to Hell, Goku says he's been there, and it wasn't really all that bad. Freeza is nonplussed. HFIL continues this with the reveal that due to Raditz breaking the soul-scrubber used to cleanse evil souls, the evilest souls are now sent to the Home for Infinite Losers. This turns out to be an average suburban cul-de-sac where the "morally-compromised malefactors" undergo group therapy while complaining about getting crap soda instead of beer. Subverted in Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'. Frieza is shown in his own personal Ironic Hell: a Sickeningly Sweet fairy land where angels, fairies, and living stuffed animals happily sing, dance, and play around him, while he's strung from a cocoon in a tree and Forced to Watch. King Yemma sentences the demon king Dabura to Heaven because he figured he'd end up enjoying Hell. He ends up enjoying Heaven but does turn good. |

Rurouni Kenshin: No madman in his right mind is going to mistake where Shishio ended up for a holiday resort but he doesn't seem to mind terribly. In fact, if his words are anything to go by, he plans to have the trope name by overthrowing the Devil... Hell in Kenshin also seems to lack any sort of torments, demons, or much of anything; it's just a big mountain of skulls and bones, with Satan/Enma's castle off in the distance. Shishio and his lackies seem to be free to do as they please. Also it seems to be located inside a pocket-watch.... |

In the True Cheater Ending of Catherine, Hell turns out to be a pretty nice place for Vincent. He gets a replica of his old apartment in Hell and has a beautiful wife. Several weeks there, and he becomes a powerful incubus with an entire harem of succubi enamored with his power, including his wife Catherine. He also uses his demonic father-in-law as a throne. | |
