"Satan's Waitin'" is a 1954 Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Friz Freleng and starring Sylvester the Cat and Tweety Bird.In this one, Sylvester is chasing Tweety around a building, until he plunges over the edge to his death. But it turns out that cats have nine lives, so Sylvester has eight more to go. The Devil, who wants Sylvester for good, then encourages him to chase after Tweety, getting Sylvester killed over and over again.

Diabolus ex Machina: Sylvester, on his last life, gives up chasing Tweety and moves into a bank vault, taking a large supply of canned cat food with him. That night, he is killed by two bank robbers (who are also killed) after one of them, Mugsy, uses too much explosive trying to blow the vault open.

Cruel and Unusual Death: Sylvester falls off a building, gets crushed by a steamroller, scared to death in a funhouse, shot multiple times in a shooting gallery, slams into a low-clearance entrance of a roller-coaster tunnel, and finally killed in an explosion.

Black Comedy: The whole gist of this cartoon is that Sylvester dies. Nine times. In very hilarious ways.

Now You Tell Me: A thoroughly dejected Sylvester utters a variation of the line when hearing one of the robbers tell Mugsy he "used too much" nitro.

comment
Cats Are Mean: There's no real explanation for what Sylvester has done that's destined him for Hell once he expends his nine lives, aside from chasing Tweety, something presumably any other cat would do too.

Lucky Seven: When Sylvester loses his second life and is down to seven, the Devil, in urging Sylvester to keep after Tweety, points out to him that he is lucky because he has seven lives left. "And seven's a lucky number."

Bowdlerization
 Satan's Waitin' / int_a49914aa
comment
Bowdlerization: When this cartoon aired on CBS in the 1970s and 1980s, the last two of Sylvester's deaths were edited: The death where he slams into the rollercoaster tunnel. The last death where he locks himself in a bank vault and gets blown up by two incompetent bank robbers during a nighttime heist. In other words, the cartoon ends when, after the Devil tells Sylvester to go after Tweety again, the cat instead runs off, yelling, "No! I don't want him! I DOOOOON'T WANT HIM!" Another CBS edit added stock footage from "Pappy's Puppy" as an alternative ending. When Sylvester declares he does not want Tweety as described in the above previous, it next shows Sylvester's purgatory becoming a bulldog puppy's chew-toy "playmate" under the watch of the pup's dad Butch.

Stairway to Heaven: When Sylvester first dies, he sees two escalators, a golden one to Heaven and a red one to Hell. The escalator to Heaven is roped off as if it is signifying to Sylvester that he is not welcome there.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Sylvester pulls this twice. The first is after losing his first life. He decides that Tweety is not worth the trouble. Of course, Devil Hector is able to coax him into continuing the chase. The second is when he is down to his last life. Again, Hector tries to coax him, only this time, Sylvester is utterly insistent.
