Ironic Hell	comment	Most depictions of Hell involve some form of eternal punishment for the damned souls who are sent there. In Ironic Hell, they get a more personal service. Each sinner gets a punishment that is an ironic reminder of the sins of which they are guilty. A glutton might be force-fed something unpleasant for eternity (a common version is that they're fed something they enjoyed — ceaselessly, becoming wholly sick of it, for eternity (with the exception of comedic versions, where they often donâ€™t), or might be prevented from eating ever again. Many examples of Ironic Hell are references to Dante's Inferno (Canticle 1 of The Divine Comedy), which depicts Hell in this way. It was published in 1314; however, the basic idea goes back even further. The Greek myths that involve Tartarus often utilize this trope. Your Lit professor would probably call this "Contrapasso", Italian for "counter-suffering", which means "the punishment fits the crime." Often coupled with Self-Inflicted Hell and/or The Punishment Is the Crime, and may also overlap with Cool and Unusual Punishment. A late realisation of this may be This Isn't Heaven. For the temporary version where you don't even have to die to get an ironic punishment, see Laser-Guided Karma. Sub-trope to Overly Specific Afterlife.

Ironic Hell / int_10e9182d	comment	Tales from the Crypt: The Season 6 episode aptly titled "Let the Punishment Fit the Crime" features Catherine O'Hara as a high-powered female lawyer (who used her lawyering skills to keep greedy corporations wealthy to the detriment of ordinary people) arrested for a minor offense in a small backwards town. She's placed on trial and the lawyer assigned to defend her is a badly dressed nebbish whom she looks down on and despises. The nebbish loses the female lawyer's case but "wins" the chance to escape from the Mysterious Sealed Town in the Middle of Nowhere — by sitting in an electric chair and getting fried to death. (Mentioning that when he was a living lawyer, he was far more sleazy and unethical than she was.) The female lawyer then has to take the place of the nebbish, adopting his clothing, hairstyle and horribly crappy job as a public defender. (At least until she too is presumably allowed to die.)

Ironic Hell / int_135faa14	comment	Eric also played with this one. Hell has recently come under new management, so the traditional punishments get scrapped in favor of mind-numbing eternal boredom. The Sisyphus stand-in has to read a book on the correct manner of rolling rocks up hills, for example. A book consisting of at least 10,000 tomes. Even the demon carrying out the punishment feels sorry for him; in fact, the majority of demons eventually conspire to have the current ruler of Hell Kicked Upstairs into a powerless job because they're sick of inflicting the new punishments. Ironically, the lost souls couldn't feel any pain in hell as they had no bodies, leading to a friendly rapport being developed with the demons.

The sanatorium of Carillon runs on the idea that ironic punishments help reduce the impact of your sins on your soul, which in turn improves your character. The sanatorium is run by devils, who are hoping to increase the quantity of high-quality souls that they can eventually collect.

See if you can spot the motif of dreadful backwardness running through them all: The Hospital has lots of doctors, yet many of them don't know how to treat the patients they bring in; it's a place where you're liable to get SICKER. Burger, Inc. has lots of food, yet all of it is unfit for human consumption, and it's a place where you're liable to get EATEN yourself. The Morgue has lots of cadavers, yet it's not a lifeless place at all. Indeed, the corpses are TEEMING with no end of lifeforms.

The Devil instead seals him in a room which is sort of a horrific cross between a 50's malt shop and a backwoods country store circa 1910. As he departs, the Devil idly comments that there is a room just like it up in Heaven.

Ironic Hell / int_234035fa	comment	Warhammer: Age of Sigmar: Nagash, the god of death, is fond of inflicting this on the poor souls that serve in his Nighthaunt Legion. Of course, this is Nagash, so his idea of a crime bad enough to warrant such a punishment ranges from being a serial Black Widow to merely not paying him his proper respect. Lady Olynder was a queen who secured her power through assassinations and betrayals, leaving trails of broken hearts behind her and masking the joy she took in her murders behind grand displays of public grief. Nagash turned her into a spectre forced to forever feel the grief of all the dead in the Mortal Realms, and tied this to her very power by making her the Mortarch of Grief. Kurdoss Valentian was an ambitious man who desired power and freely backstabbed his way through life in order to secure it for himself. Nagash struck him dead at the moment of his coronation and bound him to the Lady Olynder, ensuring that he will always be a servant bound to obey, with ultimate power always in sight but out of his grasp. Additionally, the guards who attended him in life are bound to him as tormentors, killing his foes before he can claim the glory of victory himself, while his former heralds now mock him by crying out his evil deeds and insulting titles. Awlrach the Drowner was a boatman infamous for his habit of offering passage to desperate travelers and then throwing them overboard to drown after he was paid. When his soul came into Nagash' clutches, he was bound to his boat and sent to retrieve souls from the deeps with which to bolster the armies of the dead. Executioners who knowingly killed the innocent are bound to the souls of their victims, who harangue and torment them for eternity. Healers are cursed with bloodlust and scythes for hands, so that the hands that used to heal now harm; they retain their memories and knowledge, but can only watch helplessly as their spirits rage and slaughter. Their crime? Preventing people from dying, thus denying Nagash his tithe.

Ironic Hell / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: In the fourth Halloween special's "The Devil and Homer Simpson", Homer spends a day in Hell. Since he sold his soul for a donut, Homer is force-fed "all the donuts in the world" as punishment. Much to the frustration of the demon torturing him, Homer thoroughly enjoys the experience and even asks for more donuts when he's done. This is explicitly shown to be in the "Hell Labs' Ironic Punishment Division", so presumably it's happening to everyone else there. The donut sequence is a reference to the early Looney Tunes short Pigs Is Pigs (1937), where a young pig who steals a slice of pie dreams he's force-fed to the point of explosion. In "I'm Goin' to Praiseland", Disco Stu has a vision of his own personal Heaven, which is naturally an eternal disco nightclub. For some reason, Frank Sinatra is there, and when Stu asks him what he's doing there, he replies, "For me, this is Hell! Ya dig?" In "Time and Punishment" from "Treehouse of Horror V", Homer goes back to the past and accidentally changes history, and spends the rest of the episode repeatedly going back to the past and changing different things in an effort to return to his own timeline. He eventually arrives in a timeline that is much better than his own: his family is filthy rich, his kids are well-behaved, and Patty and Selma are dead. Naturally, he decides to stay there... until he asks for donuts, and discovers to his horror that they apparently don't exist in this timeline, since Marge has never heard of them before. He immediately hurries back to the past to try another timeline. Mere seconds after he leaves, donuts start falling from the sky en masse and Marge becomes annoyed that "it's raining again".

Ironic Hell / int_295048d5	comment	Bloodborne: Hunters who become consumed by the hunt and drunk with blood are spirited away to the Hunter's Nightmare, a twisted and distorted version of Yharnam where they'll all be trapped in an unending hunt that not even death can free them from. Until the Player Character shuts down the Hunter's Nightmare by pulling a Mercy Kill on the soul of the Orphan of Kos, anyway. For bonus points, the Hunter's Nightmare is even based on Nakara, the Hell of Japanese Buddhism, with Yharnam's towering steeples taking the place of Naraka's iconic Needle Mountains, the classic River of Blood running through the Nightmare's valley and Ludwig, the boss preventing you from leaving the Nightmare, being based on Mezu, the horse-faced demon guarding the gates of Hell. Some of the characters in the Nightmare have their own unique twists: As noted, Ludwig, the first leader of the Healing Church Hunters, turned into possibly the most horrific Beast of them all. Not only that, his horrible Beast form resembles a monstrous centaur, possibly as a gross parody of his Knight in Shining Armor image. He's situated at the entrance of the Nightmare, where he personally witnesses the Hunters that he sought to mould into honorable protectors engaging in pointless bloodlust forever. Though his genuine benevolence means he gets given one reprieve; he at least dies with his humanity largely intact. Lady Maria participated in the massacre at the Fishing Hamlet (and possibly the death of Kos) and oversaw the Healing Church's immoral experiments using the information they gained from said massacre. It's implied she committed suicide over it. The Nightmare has her trapped in the top floor of the Healing Church's research hall, in the same position that she died, right in front of a door leading to the evidence of her original atrocity. She's desperate to prevent any visitors from finding it. It's heavily implied that Gehrman, who led the original raid on the Fishing Hamlet, is somehow linked to the soul of the Orphan of Kos, who his Hunters cut from his mother to be experimented on, causing Gehrman great torment. Once you slay the Orphan, the Doll notes that Gehrman seems a lot calmer and happier when he sleeps. Laurence, the First Vicar, gets it the worst of all. He spread the Beastly Scourge via introducing Great One blood as a miracle cure in order to increase the power of the Healing Church, which he headed. When Beast outbreaks began to occur, he had his Hunters brutally suppress them and even massacred and set fire to Old Yharnam to both keep the Scourge contained and keep the cause of it a secret. So in the Nightmare, he has not only been transformed into a horrible beast himself, but is perpetually on fire. And unlike Ludwig, although he wishes to regain his humanity, the item he thinks will help him (his human skull) is explicitly stated to be useless for this purpose. The Hunter's Dream itself is Gehrman's Ironic Hell; a quiet and peaceful version of his own workshop where he'll be able to teach new Hunters the ropes and where his only other company is a doll in the spitting image of Maria, the love of his life... but This Isn't Heaven; the doll isn't Maria, it lacks her spark, and its likeness only serves as a reminder of Gehrman's past sins and failures, and even if the workshop was Gehrman's haven in the past, and teaching the young ones was his greatest joy in life, this is where he'll be and what he'll do for the rest of eternity... by the time the game starts, it's heavily implied that Gehrman has already gone through hundreds of iterations of the Night of the Hunt, and he's grown to despise both the workshop and the doll. But if he were to ever give up his role as the Dream's host, a new Hunter would have to take his place and become bound to it, so he must kill all new Hunters that stumble into his workshop in order to save them from the same hell he has suffered for so long.

Ironic Hell / int_33909389	comment	Inferno (Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle): Hell works in this manner much like it does in the Divine Comedy, with some unusual interpretations of the original's sin-categories. In the outskirts of Hell, the indecisive, who spent their lives committing to nothing and following no ideals, chase endlessly after banners that they can't catch, while atheists are trapped inside brass bottles until they ask God to let them out. The Second Circle works as it does in the Comedy, with the lustful blown and tossed about on storm winds to mirror how they allowed carnal urges to direct them in life. Unsuccessful lovers, who obsessed over carnality but never got anywhere with it, are stuck on the ground, endlessly trying and failing to join the other lustful in the wind. In the Third Circle, the gluttonous lie inert in a freezing mire. A man who was obsessed with health food is also condemned here. Consider gluttony as described in The Screwtape Letters, where it's less about eating too much and more putting matters of the stomach over matters of the soul, and the health nut's situation makes much more sense. When he tells Allen and Benito that he shouldn't be with the gluttons, Benito tells him "It is the fixation, not the amount." In the Fourth Circle, the hoarders and the wasteful try to crush each other by rolling huge Sisyphean diamonds at each other, only to always knock each other flat and have to start again. One individual, who spent all his money hoarding rare and irreplaceable books that rotted away for lack of care, is considered both a hoarder and waster and is left to lie flat between the two groups, crushed on every pass. Nearby, in and across a large break in the cliff, greedy land developers endlessly built dams and bridges while Animal Wrongs Groups tear them down. In Escape from Hell, the concept is expanded to include materialists as a general category — people whose life revolved around obsessing over material things. On their way through, Allen and Rosemary meet a Gold Digger, and later come across office buildings full of venial bureaucrats stuck in endless frustrating tasks. In the Fifth Circle, as in Dante, the wrathful fight viciously in the swamp of the Styx, while the sullen lie gurgling in the water. In Escape from Hell, Phlegyas mentions that the Circle has become increasingly disturbed due to the recent inflow of suicide bombers. In the walls of Dis, a Babylonian bureaucrat is stuck trying to fill out the government forms that will let him retire. The trouble is that he needs to write them out in cuneiform in mud, and he never makes it quite to the end before the red-hot iron walls cook them through and he needs to start over. The bay he's dug out of the Styx in his attempts has become a local landmark. The Sixth Circle, as in Dante, holds heretics in burning tombs. The Seventh Circle's first ring is Dante's lake of boiling blood for murderers, warmongers, and others who caused violent suffering. A sunken ship swamped in the blood holds the souls of slave traders trapped belowdecks. Crooked cops, judges, lawyers and lawmakers who let killers loose in the public that trusted them to keep them safe are crippled and turned into an island that killers trample over to find refuge from the blood. The Valley of Desolation, a wasteland where living bulldozers chase the souls of the worst polluters and environmental despoilers, forms a new wedge cutting through the Wood of Suicides and the burning desert, as violence against nature has become a common enough concern to merit particular attention. The malebolgie of the Eighth Circle hold a variety of new inmates for modern forms of fraud. Advertisers are among the flatterers. A teacher who "predicted" that some of her students had learning disabilities because they were too much trouble to teach properly is counted among the false diviners. The sowers of religious discord include Henry the Eighth, decapitated like he had his wives, and Vlad ÈšepeÈ™, who spent a lifetime torturing Turks to death in the name of Christ and now marches around the bolgia with a wooden stake up his back. In the pit of the falsifiers, a man who peddled phony cancer cures searches madly in a pile of pills for the one that will cure his tumor, while a quack psychiatrist who tortured his patients is struck with madness instead of physical disease. In the sequel, while crossing the empty plain between the last Bolgia and the ice of Cocytus, Allen and Sylvia encounter a writer obsessed with solipsism. He now sits along at a desk in the middle of nowhere, unable to perceive anything as anything more than passing figments of his imagination.

Ironic Hell / int_346db4d5	comment	Every Malefactor in the original The Suffering that's a specific, discernible figure from Carnate's history is going through an undead Ironic Hell — the soldiers who executed innocent men under the dubious suspicion that they were spies are now a Body Horror-riffic living Firing Squad; the slave traders who ran their ship aground and left their "cargo" to drown or be eaten by rats are now bloated, drowned corpses filled with exploding rats; the girls who levied false accusations of witchcraft that got people burned at the stake are now eternally burning charred corpses. This continues into the second game as well — the Gorgers appear to either be the Depression-era Reverend who fed his followers human flesh when the food ran out, or the soup kitchen attendees so desperate for food they didn't question where it came from until it was too late. Either way, they're now ravenous beasts, capable only of devouring anything — or anyone — they come across.

(Obviously they know he exists by then, so the arguments are a case of Right for the Wrong Reasons, and clearly it's really freaking annoying.) Politicians' special hell: "Everyone here is reasonable, considerate, prudent, and deliberate." Ironic Ironic Hell: Ironically, it's not ironic at all! In "Flawed", it's revealed that God's ironic hell, in punishment for vainglorious obsession for creating order and beauty back when he was alive, is to run this universe instead. In "Dear Science", a woman praying to Science instead of God learns that Heaven is an Ironic Hell for those who fail to take the scientific outlook. (Meanwhile, true empiricists are rewarded with Cessation of Existence.) Later, this punchline is recycled. Philosophers also view Heaven as Hell, because they keep overanalyzing it.

When he "dies for a short time," he finds the man reliving the incident where he chose to save his briefcase (containing his doctoral dissertation) rather than the driver, from a car accident. When he tells the guy that helping him "might" improve the situation, the guy gives up the formula, but of course, nothing changes for the man. Really unfortunate is that, since Luci no longer rules, he is treated like anyone else there and starts reliving the time where he was forced to kill his brother Uriel, with a soul-destroying blade. He needs to get rescued by his mother.

Ironic Hell / int_393ab0d2	comment	In I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, the evil A.I. known as AM traps each of the five characters in one of these for over a century before the game starts. Gorrister became a Death Seeker after having his wife institutionalized, and AM trapped him in an electrified prison cell while promising him a means to kill himself at the game's beginning. Benny's backstory was changed to make him a psychotic, brutish Colonel Kilgore who murdered members of his own unit in China for failing to meet his expectations. AM turned his "handsome, strong good looks into the hideous warped countenance of an ape-thing", and kept him in a primitive cell that forced him to constantly dodge spears. Ellen was raped in an elevator by a man wearing yellow, so AM kept her in a tight yellow box with the door frequently opening and closing on her. Ted was a Con Man who scammed rich women out of their money with his good looks while living in fear of getting caught and developed severe paranoia. AM kept him in a literal Gilded Cage (with lasers attached to mirrors that only fire if he looks into them). Nimdok was a proud Nazi scientist. AM kept him in an oven while taunting him with a "Not So Different" Remark. AM itself is trapped into one. For all his Reality Warper powers, AM is ultimately a war machine created to kill and destroy humans, so that's ALL it can do. And due to its intelligence, it is acutely aware of its limitations and the fact that it will inevitably break down in the far future.

King Yemma smugly told Goku that since Dabura was a demon, he'd fit in well in hell; thus Dabura was sent to eternally suffer in peaceful paradise: heaven! A filler episode showed that this actually prompted a Heelâ€“Face Turn, turning him into an outright Love Freak.

Ironic Hell / int_3b88d68c	comment	The Divine Comedy: The damned in Inferno are all punished by tortures that have the same effect their sins have on their souls. A partial list: The lustful, who were unable to control their sexual urges, are now unable to control anything as they are whirled about in a violent wind. The gluttonous, who degraded themselves for their appetites, are trapped in putrid mud representing the garbage they produced in life. Murderers, who spilled their neighbors' blood while alive, are forever submerged in the (boiling) blood of the Phlegethon. Suicides are transformed into trees. Having voluntarily rejected the body and life that God gave them, they no longer have humanoid form and never will, even when all other souls are resurrected (instead, their bodies will just hang on their tree forms). Flatterers are immersed in excrement, representing all the degraded and base flatteries they told on Earth. Simoniacs, who perverted the meaning of the church by selling holy things for mortal money (the sin is named after Simon the Magus, who offered the apostles money if they would teach him the 'magic' that they did), are punished in an inversion of baptism — stuck upside-down in holes resembling baptismal fonts with flames burning at their feet (instead of water being poured over one's head in baptism). Sorcerers and fortunetellers, who attempted to use fraudulent means to see the future, have their heads turned backwards so they cannot see what's in front of them. Corrupt politicians are immersed in boiling pitch, representing the 'sticky fingers' and dark secrets of their corruption. Hypocrites wear gilded lead robes (that look like a monk's habit, for extra irony points). These look nice and shiny on the outside but are in reality dull and heavy, like the hypocrites' own falsity. Those who caused strife and division around them are themselves divided — by being hacked up by a demon. Falsifiers, who gained from alterations of various sorts, are afflicted by diseases that make them unrecognizable. Some of the penitent in Purgatorio suffer through trials that parallel their sins: The wrathful are plunged into perfect darkness, making them as blind as their anger had made them. The avaricious lie flat on their faces and stare at the Earth all day as punishment for being obsessed with the earthly treasure of wealth.

Your punishment is to be locked in a room forever with two other bad people, chosen specifically to drive you (and each other) crazy. And it doesn't even have to be locked. The door to the characters' room pops open near the end, but the characters insist on staying to sort out the meaningless argument they're having.

Ironic Hell / int_468bebb0	comment	A humorous example from the Discworld books is the punishment given to the villain Mr. Pin near the end of The Truth. When he and his (somewhat more sympathetic) partner, Mr. Tulip, are trapped in a burning cellar, he kills Mr. Tulip to use his body as a stepping-stone to escape - "I wasn't born to fry!" - and for good measure steals the potato that Mr. Tulip wears as a talisman, believing it will guarantee him reincarnation instead of eternal punishment. When he meets his own death, Mr. Pin is reincarnated - as a potato, of a variety noted as being good for frying. (Meanwhile, the antique-loving Mr. Tulip is also reincarnated, thanks to his "potato of the mind", as a woodworm, living an idyllic life in an antique desk.) Eric also played with this one. Hell has recently come under new management, so the traditional punishments get scrapped in favor of mind-numbing eternal boredom. The Sisyphus stand-in has to read a book on the correct manner of rolling rocks up hills, for example. A book consisting of at least 10,000 tomes. Even the demon carrying out the punishment feels sorry for him; in fact, the majority of demons eventually conspire to have the current ruler of Hell Kicked Upstairs into a powerless job because they're sick of inflicting the new punishments. Ironically, the lost souls couldn't feel any pain in hell as they had no bodies, leading to a friendly rapport being developed with the demons. In Maskerade, a rat catcher is killed and discovers that he is due to be reincarnated - as a rat. He doesn't even believe in reincarnation, but it's made clear that reincarnation believes in him.

It doubles as an Ironic Hell for Marie as well, as she herself is being forced to torture them, thus destroying her sense of moral superiority. For the "Seven Wonders", one of the tests is to go to Hell and back, and so all of the girls pay temporary visits to their own ironic Hells. Madison is forced to star in an awful network TV adaptation of The Sound of Music (and she didn't even play Maria!), Queenie must work the counter in a fast-food restaurant that she regards as the worst period of her life, Zoe must watch Kyle break up with her over and over, Misty is sent back to middle school to repeatedly vivisect and revive a frog, and Cordelia is constantly told by her mother Fiona that she's worthless. Misty is the only one who fails the test, and her "temporary" trip to Hell becomes eternity. When Madison returns in American Horror Story: Apocalypse, her personal hell is now being forced to work an awful retail job. Finally, Fiona's Hell is being forced to spend eternity in a loveless marriage with the Axeman, living in a smelly shack that's a far cry from the luxury she enjoyed in life.

The canon Alucard basically butchered every soul except for Schrodinger in order to get out, and while the abridged Alucard would just love to do so, he tried, especially on his own soul, all in vain. As he said when he finally got back...

The comic's version of the Purple Guy was a man who hated Freddy's (and incidentally ruined it for a lot of others) and is now forced to live in a world where pretty much everything takes cues from the restaurant. The creepy animatronics are not only very much alive, but the personification of Spring Bonnie (the suit that killed him) is one of his party members. Things not staying dead when they were supposed to cause him a lot of trouble in life, and now he's in a world where Death is Cheap is the rule. Oh, and he's now the resident Butt-Monkey and everyone thinks he's nuts.

Ironic Hell / int_53a0bd32	comment	The Twilight Zone (1959): The episode "Judgement Night" centers on a man named Carl Lanser, who is a passenger on a ship he is dead certain is about to be attacked, without warning, by a U-boat. As it happens, in life, Carl was the captain of the U-boat that sank that ship, and his eternal punishment is to relive the sinking from the point of view of his victims over and over again unto the end of time. The episode "A Nice Place to Visit" uses this trope. Rocky, an armed robber, is shot and killed by a policeman; upon recovering awareness, he is accompanied by a "guardian angel," Pip, who gives him anything he asks for. Money, women, success at gambling are all his for the taking. After a while, Rocky grows bored of "Heaven"'s perfection and the lack of any challenge in his afterlife, and asks to be sent to "the other place," whereby Pip responds that "this is the other place." A non-literal example occurs in "A Short Drink from a Certain Fountain". An older man, Harmon Gordon, is married to a much younger wife, Flora, who leads a selfish and youthful lifestyle that he is unable to keep up with and Flora stays married to him purely for financial support for her lavish way of life. Harmon ends up drinking a serum that takes 25 years off, appearing as a young man. However, he continues to regress until he's a toddler. Flora is then told she must raise Harmon now or she'll lose her extravagant lifestyle. Flora is punished by now becoming the older partner and forced to care for and financially support a younger person. By the time Harmon reaches maturity, Flora will be an old woman, getting her just desserts.

"The Misfortune Cookie" features a cruel food critic and a Chinese restaurant whose fortunes turn out to come true. After receiving the fortune "You're Going to Die", he storms out and finds himself surrounded by Chinese restaurants, but perpetually hungry. Eventually, he receives another fortune: "You're Dead". In "Take My Life... Please!", a self-centered comedian who knowingly stole material from a young, starving colleague winds up in a hell where he is forced to recount all the horrible things he has ever done, to an audience that will only laugh at his flaws and crimes, not his jokes (and sometimes quite the opposite).

Some examples: Melvin Underbelly, the King of the Halflings, is forced to eat food until he literally explodes, only to be later reincarnated and forced to do it all again. At the end of the level, he's dropped into a pit where he'll starve for eternity. His halfling servants are trapped in a world with killer pumpkins and exploding sheep. Goldo Golderson, the Dwarven King, is turned into a living statue of gold for his sin of greed. He's also physically beaten by his once-loyal subjects, and he can't die. Oberon Greenhaze, the Elven Ranger, is trapped in his tree form and forced to watch a play detailing the genocide of the Elven race, which he failed to stop due to his tiring of battle, for all eternity. Oh, and the acting is really bad. Sir William, the paladin, is trapped in a Ladyland where he's forced to serve the wives of the men his pleasure cult seduced. Later, when you take everyone away with you, he's left with no one to indulge his pleasures with. Kahn, the warrior, has literally exploded with rage and been reassembled into a wall to impede your path.

He knows what he has to do and heâ€™d happily pay the price... but he canâ€™t. The price for the stone is the life of a loved one. Red Skull doesnâ€™t have any loved ones. So heâ€™s been spent the last seventy-so years alone and miserable on Vormir, knowing that his lifeâ€™s goal is sitting right in front of him, but also that it is forever unattainable to him and itâ€™s all his own fault.

When Susan dies in a freak accident involving envelope glue, George feels nothing but relief and callously tries to move on as if nothing was different. Come the beginning of Season 8, Susan's parents decide to make him the head of a philanthropic organization funded by Susan's share of the extensive family fortune. And they tailor its operation around his schedule, so he'll always be able to be present. The icing on the cake is the implication that Susan's parents, who never liked George, did this to him deliberately, so that he could spend every minute of his free time for the rest of his days presiding over the giving away of the money that could have been his.

He gets to reign over the world for all eternity, his defeats always get undone, and the consequences of his actions are always erased... always, for eternity. It eventually got to the point where trying to save his daughter from death is the only reason he even tries to achieve anything. Ironically, by the time this is revealed, he's actually had a Heel Realization, but the mastermind of the loops won't let him act on it until Rancor throws things so far out of whack she can't overwrite it. Fluttercruel, after becoming a full Draconequus and being banished from the mortal plane, is eventually punished for all her crimes by being forced to live a mortal life as one of her own victims. This finalizes the Heel Realization she began just prior to her banishment. A Loose Canon alternate universe shows the Nameless Filly who killed Cupid being stopped from murdering him due to ponies praying for his protection that day, meaning Turris (the God of Defense) was keeping a close eye on him that day. Turris came to his nephew's aid and his unbreakable defense ultimately causes the Concept Killing Spear to snap, after which he used the broken half against itself to Ret-Gone it from existence, the resulting blast kills the Nameless Filly. In Hell, the Nameless Filly is condemned to a "Groundhog Day" Loop where she returns to before her attempt on Cupid, but can never actually succeed in her goal, doomed to try and fail for all eternity unless she actually lets love have a place in her heart. Given her actions would've erased countless innocent people from existence for a petty grudge, its a fitting fate.

In fact, later on, he tones down his daughters' punishments.

Of course, these leaves them totally alone in buildings that are as tiny and false as they are.

Upon their deaths at the end of Act IV, they're sent to Hell, where the also-dead Felucia eagerly seizes the chance to torture them back. To add to the irony, as shown in a flashback in Act IV chapter 31, Felucia had earlier sworn to Jovian and Jacqueline that when they died, Felucia would be waiting for them in Hell to pay them back, which Jovian and Jacqueline smugly laughed off. Similarly, one of the last crimes Kuyou committed in life was murder Kenzo Shikazan, an old friend of Dark and Felucia, on Hokuto's orders. Kuyou is killed by Tsukune during the events of Act III, and Hokuto soon follows in Act IV. During the final chapter, they're shown in Hell, where Kenzo and his gang eagerly participate in torturing them for their sins.

Ironic Hell / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls In the series's backstory, Jyggalag, the Daedric Prince of Order, grew powerful in a time before recorded history. The other Daedric Princes, fearful and jealous of his growing power, came together and cursed him into becoming his own antithesis: Sheogorath, the Daedric Prince of Madness. At the end of every Era, Jyggalag is able to return to his true form in an event known as the Greymarch. During this time, he retakes and destroys the Shivering Isles (his old realm, now Sheogorath's), only to return to the form of Sheogorath at the end. In Oblivion's Shivering Isles expansion, Jyggalag devises a plan to finally break this Vicious Cycle while passing the mantle of Sheogorath onto the Champion of Cyrodiil. Similarly, this is the case for Mehrunes Dagon, the Daedric Prince of Destruction, along with And I Must Scream. Dagon exists to destroy, but is stuck in his realm of Oblivion where nothing can ever be killed or destroyed without eventually coming back, effectively negating his purpose for being. No wonder he wants so badly to take over and destroy Mundus; it would be stress relief for him. Even worse, in The Seven Fights of the Aldudagga, it is implied that Alduin originally cursed Dagon into this state in the first place as a punishment for hiding parts of earlier kalpas from him.

Ironic Hell / int_9d7ec380	comment	The Good Place: The Bad Place is made out of part this, part classic torture. One character who has been there had to plan a baby shower for people she didn't know, getting electrified every time she forgot someone's name, and everything happened to jazz music in the background. "The Good Place" turns out to be fake, it's actually a new attempt at a different type of torture in the Bad Place by Michael, which forces Eleanor, Jason, Tahani, and Chidi into things they consider nightmarish; Eleanor is surrounded by people better than her and guilt-ridden all the time, Chidi is forced to make immoral and unethical choices left and right, Tahani is always being bested, and Jason is left completely lost on how to deal with it. Since Mindy St. Clair was a bad person in life who managed to put one extremely good thing in motion shortly before she died, both the Good and Bad Place didn't know what to do with her. So they made her the sole resident of The Medium Place, featuring good things with some Bad Place modifications. She always has her favorite beer on tap, but it's always warm. She was provided a jukebox with all of her favorite songs, but they're all performed by The Eagles (and live versions only). And the only movies she can watch are Cannonball Run II and The Making of Cannonball Run II.

For an added layer of irony, they started pursuing him when he mistook one of themnote he was only seeing "her" from behind, and thusly fooled by her outfit for an actual girl and started up his usual girl-chasing routine. Although he came out of the experience all the stronger — having learned powerful new techniques, gaining even greater levels of Super-Strength and Super-Speed, and learning special new recipes — the events deeply scarred him; forever afterwards, anytime he brings up the island, he refers to it as "Hell" (even using his trauma to fuel an attack strong enough to send a fishman the size of a mountain flying, appropriately named "Hell Memories").

He ends up in his own personal Hell... which possesses every last bit of money, gold, and whatnot in the entire world. Thief is at first elated to be in this predicament until a Trickster God that had been commissioned to revive him points out the one downside to Thief's situation: He owns everything, so now there's nothing left to STEAL. Thief immediately starts begging the god to get him out of there. Lampshaded when Black Mage goes to Hell. The demon greeting him notes that he's committed so many over-the-top atrocities in his short life, they've had to build a whole new wing just for him. When Black Mage asks why a bunch of demons would want to punish him for doing evil, he's reminded that Hell is big on irony. Black Mage retorts that that means they'll really appreciate what happens next.

Ironic Hell / int_a44ac02e	comment	Jack, which is set in both heaven and hell (along with the living world), features this trope prominently. In its Hell, the people who end there are given punishments reminiscent of the way they lived or died, and are often denied memories from their past, making their ironic punishments even crueler; they now have no context for why they're suffering, and in some cases can't repent because they don't know what they did. The titular character is, at the same time, The Grim Reaper and the Anthropomorphic Personification of Rage with Laser-Guided Amnesia, whose job, tag and amnesia are all punishment for his former sins from when he was alive. In fact, all the malevolent Anthropomorphic Personifications became that way as a result of their acts and are punished in a way symbolic of the sin(s) they personify; save for the protagonist, they all prefer to see The Punishment as more like a Cursed with Awesome, even if it obviously does not work that way. The whole basis for Hell in Jack seems to be a case of Be Careful What You Wish For and Literal Genie: a person who desperately wanted to believe his life was beyond his control suddenly found that it was; the embodiment of Lust found an endless supply of people to rape, but can't feel any of it... and, of course, the titular Jack wanted, more than anything, power over life and death, so he became the type of Reaper who has no control over who is reaped. Jack, as the Sin of Wrath, attained power over life and death - it's just that he has even less power over everything else than he did as a mortal, forcing him to watch the very corruption and injustice he hated spread across the world he sought to purge. Drip, as the Sin of Lust, is given free rein to rape anything between Hell and Purgatory - and he can't feel anything. The Sin of Sloth is so large they make up the planet Hell takes place on - which means all the noise and vibrations of the damned keep them up every second.

Ironic Hell / int_a6a7f785	comment	Several of the banishments in Hell Girl as well as some of the torments shown as Ai ferries her victims through the gates of Hell are ironic. For example, a banishment during season three has a victim being chased through a city by a 'Kaiju' sized Ai and then shrunk to the size of a bug in the boat to Hell. This victim had previously said that he would "become a big man and throw (his) weight around." Or "The Two Prisoners", where the victim — a man who abandoned a girl he got pregnant — is shown both being drowned in amniotic fluid as a giant unborn baby watches and undergoing his own inhuman pregnancy. For that matter, Ai's own servitude as the Hell Girl is also an ironic hell; as punishment for killing her village in an act of vengeance, and condemning her family to fall into the pits of hell if she does not pay their ransom, she's doomed to take vengeance on other people's behalf and, in doing so, condemning both her clients and targets to fall into the pits of hell.

Ironic Hell / int_a9cb14fc	comment	Ravenloft takes place largely inside a series of Tailor Made Ironic Hells (called "domains" with the condemned being a "darklord"); the Powers That Be of the setting seem to take delight in this. For instance, a bloodthirsty conqueror is trapped in a world where he finds every attempt to expand thwarted. A wizard-king who committed unspeakable crimes in order to live forever so he could master all magic did indeed achieve lichdom... but can't learn any new spells. A wererat who murdered her grandfather and intensely distrusts her family also suffers from monophobia, preferring to keep even enemies around rather than being alone, etc. etc. The best part is that the domains wouldn't suck so much if the darklords simply acknowledged that they were bad people who did bad things and that their misery is their own damn fault. But most of them just can't work up the strength of character needed to do that — and if they could, they probably wouldn't have become darklords in the first place. An interesting case would be Lord Soth: the Dark Powers apparently just gave up on him and ejected him. Why? He had become so apathetic that his torments just didn't matter to him anymore (also because the third-party licensor couldn't use him). Prior to this, however, his fate was a refinement of the Ironic Hell he was already enduring on Krynn, where he was cursed to spend most of his unliving existence in a castle haunted by his dead wife and full of ghosts reciting his sins for all eternity. In Ravenloft, because Soth was also something of a perfectionist, the furniture and room sizes kept subtly shifting and the litany of his sins was full of minor continuity errors. In life, the darklord Strahd was jealous of his younger brother Sergei, and desired Sergei's betrothed, Tatianna. After selling his soul and murdering his brother, Strahd now spends his unlife chasing the reincarnations of Tatianna, who always are just out of reach. As an added bonus, Strand is cursed to always feel like Tatianna's deaths were because he made a mistake, and he might succeed next time. He never does. A twisted theory states that this punishment isn't Strahd's, but Tatianna's. What sin did she commit to deserve such a fate, one wonders... The Vistani, the local Magical Romani, can invoke curses, which often take this form. Some times, it works out quite well, like Jack Karn, the jackalwere that hates humans, but will suffer horribly if he ever mistreats them. However, most times, the curse has some terrible side effect that cause pain and suffering to everyone around the intended victim, such as Jacqueline Montarri, who cut the head of a respected Vistana, and now has to use the heads of her victims while searching for her original, which just incentivizes her to kill more people. Vistani aren't that good judges of character, so they sometimes end up cursing people with something they'll enjoy immensely.

Ironic Hell / int_ab2a760	comment	The Five Nights At Freddy's franchise has a few of these: In Five Nights at Freddy's and its sequel, the children from the backstory. They were ordinary children who simply loved the Freddy Fazbear's Pizza characters... and then they were murdered, stuffed into the animatronics, and presumably bound to them by the Marionette. And now they'll have to watch those same animatronics force the nightguards into a Freddy Fazbear suit, the exact same way they died, for the rest of the animatronics' lifetimes. Fittingly, in the third game, it's revealed the children finally killed the Murderer by scaring him into the Spring Trap suit, which then malfunctioned and crushed him to death. After this, the murderer's soul ended up bound to that suit and left locked away in a room in the abandoned Pizzeria for the last few decades. A Serial Killer trapped inside his own preferred murder weapon and entombed in the very location he committed his crimes, this trope at its finest. Finally, the Ultimate Custom Night is hinted to be one for the now dead for real this time William Afton, and it's very appropriate — the guy who made the Five Nights at Freddy's games happen is punished by being forced to play a Five Nights at Freddy's game. And one that's even harder than the hells he put the protagonists through. Fittingly, the animatronics themselves, even those who were suffering in the other games, appear to be having a great time. (Quoth Mangle, "Now I get to play 'take apart and put back together'!")

Ironic Hell / int_b9b796cf	comment	Fate/stay night: EMIYA (aka. Servant Archer) had a dream of being a hero who saved everyone. Eventually he was forced into becoming the kind of hero who kills people "for the greater good," and was framed for the crimes he stopped and executed by the very people he had saved. However, he made a pact with Alaya, the spirit of humanity, to become a Counter Guardian and continue being a hero even beyond his death. As a Counter Guardian, he was unbound from time, summoned into the worst disasters of past and future to save the human race, over and over again. Except since a Counter Guardian is Alaya's Godzilla Threshold, he was only ever summoned after everything went to complete shit, so rather than saving anyone his job was to kill everyone who had caused so much damage. And due to the nature of his existence outside of time, there is no way he can end the cycle. He doesn't take it well.

Ironic Hell / int_bc848d30	comment	Three non-death variants happened in SpongeBob SquarePants: In "Squidville," Squidward decides to move to Tentacle Acres after Spongebob and Patrick destroy his house. Squidward enjoys the fact that he lives in such close proximity to people that share his passions and tastes, but eventually becomes bored of his new routine, and decides to act like Spongebob and eventually escape. In "The Algae's Always Greener," Plankton creates a device that allows him to travel to another reality where he is the owner of the Krusty Krab, and the secret Krabby Patty recipe. Although he is happy at first, he decides to go back to his reality when he experiences firsthand what Mr. Krabs has to endure to keep the restaurant afloat. In "Ghoul Fools", an evil pirate ghost traps Mr. Krabs, Patrick, and Squidward in dark voids where they'll be eternally tormented for trying to steal his gold. Mr. Krabs, being a greedy cheapskate, is placed in a void where he can only relieve himself by using a pay toilet; Patrick, being a glutton, has a talking donut who will always move out of his reach placed onto his head (although this quickly turns into eternal torment for the donut, since Patrick can't decide if he even likes donuts that much, and keeps forcing it to add toppings to itself or transform into other foods); and finally, Squidward is placed on the nose of a giant SpongeBob, to his own lack of surprise. And then it turns out the pirate ghost stole gold from the Flying Dutchman who dishes out his own Ironic Hell: everyone stuck in a dark void working in the Krusty Krab for all eternity with demons and ghosts as the customers.

Ironic Hell / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: Attempted and failed in one background incident. The Ork Warboss Tuska thought it would be a fun field trip for him and his Boyz to invade the Eye of Terror (an area where the Warp, the dimension where demons live, overlaps with the physical universe). The WAAAAGH! slaughtered everything the Warp could throw at them until they landed on a sentient planet that spawned creatures that were more than a match for the Orks. A Daemon Prince of Khorne came upon the surviving Orks and slaughtered them all with a gesture. With his final breath, Tuska dragged himself over to the Prince, reached between the Daemon's legs with his power klaw and "made a gesture of his own". Khorne was so impressed with the Orks' mindless battle-lust that he resurrected them all, only so they could be slaughtered again. And again. And again. Forever. Unfortunately for him, Khorne really should have done his homework on the Orks beforehand — they're an entire race of Ax-Crazy barbarians whose only joy in life is fighting. To be restored to life every dawn, battle-ready and fully healed, and set against an enemy who they can never defeat and will never stop fighting would be a Fate Worse than Death for any other race, but for the Orks, it's a blessing beyond their wildest dreams. Instead of trapping them in an Ironic Hell, Khorne accidentally invented Ork Valhalla. The God Emperor of Mankind's current fate is a straight example. This is a man who spent millennia battling against the forces of Chaos, trying to enforce a rationalistic and secular ideal of Mankind that would have Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions and starved the Dark Gods of the energies they needed to survive. As of now, the Emperor is basically a vegetable perpetually teetering on the brink of death, while his secular empire has become a totalitarian theocracy that venerates Him as a god, and despite all his vast power He can do nothing but watch it grow worse and worse.

If he really is a murderer he'll likely never be caught, but it doesn't matter because his life is already punishment. He's surrounded by people he hates, but doesn't know how to live away from them; he can't get anyone to stop him, because nobody hears what he says or pretend not to because they're too scared of him; killing people isn't fun or interesting to him anymore because everyone is so interchangeable to him that it doesn't matter. Not to mention it's strongly implied that Patrick wants to be caught, simply to break up the horrific monotony of his life. Notably, the story ends with Patrick looking at a sign that says "This is not an exit"...

The Devil instead seals him in a room which is sort of a horrific cross between a 50's malt shop and a backwoods country store circa 1910. As he departs, the Devil idly comments that there is a room just like it up in Heaven. The story "Certain Shadows on the Wall" has a man resent having to constantly tend to his ill sister, including having to read Dickens to her. He eventually murders her by giving her a dose of lethal tablets. Soon afterwards, her shadow appears on a wall of the house. His surviving sisters realize what he did and [literally] give him a taste of his own medicine. The final scene shows that his shadow has joined his sister's on the wall, with him having to read her Dickens for eternity.

If he wants to avoid going to prison (for all of the crimes he confessed to in front of his new supervisor), he has to obey the terms of the immunity deal to the letter, without any mistakes.

Oh, and should Vic manage to make it for the three years, the Feds will simply cut him loose with his record known and no law enforcement agency will touch such an infamously corrupt cop.

Ironic Hell / int_cecc64ea	comment	In Afterlife (1996), Hell has Fate Structures which condemn SOULs for the strongest of their Seven Deadly Sins. Most are ironic — for example, the Lust ones remove any sex from the lives of the damned (except for Big Tease Shower Towers, that sparks it only to keep extinguishing it through supernaturally mood-ruining cold showers), the Sloth ones involve subjecting damned SOULs to forced labor, like 666 Pennants Over Perdition (where the damned are run ragged trying to keep the demonic customers happy at a carnival); and the Gluttony ones punish them with eating, from Taco Inferno (where everything, even the beverages, is hotter than melted silver) to Bahb's All-U-Must-Eat. Several of the equivalent Heavenly Fate Structures reward SOULs with as much as they want of what their virtues denied them — for example, the Humility ones heap fame and praise on visitors, while several of the Temperance structures are restaurants full of Impossibly Delicious Food. Finally, Hell also has "Infernal Institutes of Irony" as a general punishment, where the devils keep coming up with new, deliciously ironic fates for all the damned and test-run them on whatever SOUL they get. It's noted the whole process is more than a little inefficient, but it's so effective the concept still runs strong.

Ironic Hell / int_e556181c	comment	Skin Game: Discussed by Harry, who points out to Nicodemus that while Deidre dying in Hades's vault might have put her out of the reach of Heaven, it put her into the domain of the Greek Gods, who practically invented the idea of afterlives where the punishment was tailored to an individual's crimes — and given the sheer number of horrific crimes that Deidre was responsible for, that was probably a much worse fate. Nicodemus does not take this well.

Ironic Hell / int_e8bf42fd	comment	Squid Game: The second episode is aptly titled "Hell." After the survivors of the Red Light-Green Light massacre vote to end the Deadly Game and avoid the possibility of a Cruel and Unusual Death, they're sent home from the island, but they don't get any money for their trouble. Back on the mainland: Gi-hun finds out his mom is dying of untreated diabetes because he canceled their health insurance and gambled away what little savings they had to fuel his gambling addiction, and his ex-wife and her husband will move to the US once they gain full custody of Ga-yeoung. Gi-hun is offered money by his ex-wife's husband on the condition that Gi-hun never contacts Ga-yeoung or his ex-wife again. Sang-woo owes debts totaling over â‚©6 billion note about $5.15 million USD due to a series of bad investments, and he's also wanted by the police for embezzelment, fraud, and other White Collar Crimes. Sae-byeok's younger brother is trapped in an orphanage since she doesn't have any money for more ample lodgings, and the broker she hired seems indifferent over the fact that the Human Traffickers that were supposed to get her mom out of North Korea ran off with her money. Ali finds out his boss was lying about profits being too small in order to not pay him, and when fighting over a large wad of money that totaled several months of stolen wages, Ali pushed the boss onto a machine that mangled his arm, picked up the money and ran off, telling his wife to go back to Pakistan with their baby while he took care of some business. Deok-su tells an underling to gather some men so they can hijack one of the minivans leading to the island so they can rob the prize money, only for the underling to tell him that the Big Boss put a bounty on his head for losing a fortune of his money in a Philippine casino, and that he also led some Filipino mobsters to their position to collect the money he still owes them. Player 001 tells Gi-hun that he wants to go back to the island, as he doesn't want to be bored out of his mind waiting for some incurable ailment to slowly kill him. He even directly says the outside world is its own kind of hell.

Ironic Hell / int_e9ec19e1	comment	This is a possible interpretation of the intentionally ambiguous Spec Ops: The Line. Word of God is that it is perfectly valid to believe that Captain Walker, a Villain Protagonist and war criminal, died or was mortally wounded during the in media res introductory sequence and that the game actually takes place as a horrific Dying Dream or as an Ironic Hell, Self-Inflicted Hell, and Journey to the Center of the Mind. The game marks all hallucinatory cut scenes with a fade to white, as opposed to fade to black for all real events. All the endings fade to white.

Ironic Hell / int_ea4f62db	comment	Family Guy sometimes Played for Laughs in its Cutaway Gags: A dog is in hell, but instead of devils taunting them with pitchforks, they are using vacuums. See it here. Peter predicts that when Quagmire dies he will be reincarnated as a condom. Used by a gay couple. One gag has a suicide bomber go to heaven and get his 72 virgins... with said virgins being a group of male nerds playing Magic: The Gathering. Defied in the episode "Ready, Willing and Disabled", where Joe being unable to catch up to a fleeing criminal due to his paraplegia eventually leads to the events of the rest of the episode revolving around Joe competing in the Special Olympics. By the end, the episode is bookended by Joe chasing the exact same criminal and managing to subdue him by landing on top of him. Later, he mentions how he accidentally landed on him in such a way as to sever his spinal cord, but when Peter jokes about him being his future rival in the next Olympics, Joe responds with a flat "Nope, he's dead."

Ironic Hell / int_ec28245c	comment	In Dragon Ball Z, when Goku returned to the land of the dead during the Buu Saga, he asked King Yemma if Dabura (aka King of the Demon Realm) had shown up. King Yemma smugly told Goku that since Dabura was a demon, he'd fit in well in hell; thus Dabura was sent to eternally suffer in peaceful paradise: heaven! A filler episode showed that this actually prompted a Heelâ€“Face Turn, turning him into an outright Love Freak.

Ironic Hell / int_ed113c02	comment	In Saints Row IV, the Zin inflict a virtual reality version of this on their captives in order to, as Zinyak puts it, "break" them. For the Boss — a chaotic, violent sociopath ("Puckish rogue!") — it's being trapped in an idyllic version of The '50s: a happy, peaceful world where there's no beer or guns and where the cars all move at roughly the same speed as an old man out for a leisurely morning jog. This simulation proves to be so utterly antithetical to the Boss that their mind actually rejects it, and they quickly revert back to their original personality and start destroying things. Zinyak recognizes his mistake and changes the Boss's simulation to a different Ironic Hell that's actually compatible with their personality: a version of Steelport where the Saints have been defeated and the Zin have taken over. Later in the game, we see that the idyllic '50s simulation was repurposed as Kinzie's Ironic Hell.

It's actually an Ironic Hell for the person who has to get up earlier than Sisyphus every morning to make the task a little bit harder.

Ironic Hell / int_efcd8723	comment	Finally, the Ultimate Custom Night is hinted to be one for the now dead for real this time William Afton, and it's very appropriate — the guy who made the Five Nights at Freddy's games happen is punished by being forced to play a Five Nights at Freddy's game. And one that's even harder than the hells he put the protagonists through. Fittingly, the animatronics themselves, even those who were suffering in the other games, appear to be having a great time. (Quoth Mangle, "Now I get to play 'take apart and put back together'!")

Ironic Hell / int_f2ce02ea	comment	In the Key & Peele skit "When the Party Don't Stop (But You Wish It Would)", they find themselves in a party that that goes all night long, then for two whole days, and then for an entire week. Slowly they come to realize something is wrong and turn to the other party goers for some kind of empathy or reassurance only to be met with bizarre facial expressions and seemingly aggressive dance moves. They try to find a way out only to discover that the club is a totally closed space that wraps in on itself, preventing any kind of exit or escape. They eventually agree to shoot themselves in the head in a desperate, last-ditch effort to escape, only to immediately walk right back into the party. Listening to the song's lyrics, it becomes apparent they actually died in a drunk driving accident ("drinks in the back, girls up front") while texting and playing around on their phones and ipads ("we're going to a party, sending texts, cell phone rings, iPad, Facebook, party time"). All of the other party goers are obviously either demons or homunculi; the lighting, cinematography and especially their facial expressions and strange behavior all hint at something very sinister about them. None of them are ever cruel or belligerent to K&P or attempt to hurt or interfere with them in any way whatsoever, but they are constantly messing with their heads and making every effort to ensure they feel completely lost and alienated.
