Line 118:
* ''[[Guitar Hero]] 3'''s final stage has you {{spoiler|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 [[Sexy Devil|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. [[Crowning Music of Awesome|To a heavy-metal version of Devil Went Down To Georgia]]. And it, is, ''awesome''.
* The interior decor of the ''Afterlife'' in ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' invokes this, being based entirely on flames and steel while being simultaneously the [[Coolest Club Ever]].
* In the True Cheater Ending of ''[[Catherine]]'', {{spoiler|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.}}
Line 146:
** ''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 and Homer just keeps asking for more.
* Hell is completely inconsistent in ''[[South Park]]''. 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. 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.
** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Satan in this show is a flippant and fickle [[Man Child]], so the Hell is probably oscillating between this and a "regular" Hell, depending on his whim.
** 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? [[Cool and Unusual Punishment|Gets God to send him to Heaven]].
* On ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'', Miseryville is heavily implied to be Hell. It was even more blatant in the original pitch. Despite this, even though it's run by a man determined to make everyone miserable, it looks pretty tolerable. Probably because said man is [[Harmless Villain|incredibly incompetent]].
