THEATRE NERD REACTS TO HELLUVA BOSS - EPISODE 4 - C.H.E.R.U.B 

Love to see it! Just so you know, this is pretty much the last "filler" episode in the...in the entire show, really. I say "filler" because the Cherubs are most likely going to come back eventually (they haven't so far, by the way). After this we get into the good stuff in Helluva Boss! The last four episodes in the season are all pretty important, and all the episodes in season two have been pretty important so far as well!

The funny thing is if you look in the background of the cherub commercial when the cherub as saying they don’t take money, you see a huge mansion. They live in heaven where all their needs are met, so they don’t need money, unlike the imps who have to struggle for what they have. So it is more about pointing out that them not charging isn’t a reflection of their character, but of their condition, though they play it off as them just being that much better. It’s like someone steals an orange because they are starving and someone who is a billionaire scolds them by saying “I never steal, so you shouldn’t either” completely ignoring the difference in situation.

also fun fact: the cherub named Keenie and the deer angel that says the cherubs cant go back to heaven are voiced by vivziepop

gotta respect a bond so strong dude arrives in hell and is like "YOU MUST KILL MY (BUSINESS) PARTNER, WE MUST BE REUNITED" (100% what he said; he was just being tsundere about it, trust trust.)

I know a lot of people hate this episode for being "filler" but I thought it was a lot of fun. I especially love all the disguises in this episode. Like, can we all agree that Moxxie was slaying that woman disguise? Also, I hope C.H.E.R.U.B. comes back sometime in the future. It would be fun see the fallen angels try to get revenge on I.M.P.

11:33 That’s a reference to what Loona criticized them on in the previous episode for not wearing disguises when around humans.

No no no, the Wall gag started in Helluva and was carried over to Hazbin because of how well it was taken here.

7:00 There are two theories about this. One, the machine wasn't real, this was a made-up story to get his partner back right away, guaranteeing him being sent to hell before he could strive for redemption. Two, The machine was real, but because it was the cause of a death, the government confiscated it while their guys inspect the machine for faults and whatnot.

4:22 Nice you saw that poster, a lot of people missed that detail but it was also in the pilot, it was different with a third sibling and this is one of the reasons why the pilot is non-canon. 22:21 Just pointing out that like Verosika and roboFizz Wally Wackford called him Blitz"o". 22:32 Yeah remember this came first so Hazbin got the wall breaking joke from here.

Cherubs are the heavenly counterparts of imps. Interestingly, in the lore of Bible, they are the highest angels after the seraphim. The approximate hierarchy of Heaven (not official yet, but based on the information given by the show): 1. God (he clearly exists. Angels do not define ascension, damnation, or redemption of the soul). 2. Elders (Those who exiled Lucifer, although they may be seraphim) 3. Seraphim (Lucifer, Sera, Emily. Their hellish antipodes are the Seven Deadly Sins) 4. Archangels (Adam. Their hellish antipodes are Ars Goetia) 5. Winners (souls who have gone to Heaven) 6. The indigenous inhabitants of Heaven (cherubus)

Fin fact, the deer cherub at the end was voiced by Vivzepop herself.

Theater Kid storytime: back in high school we were doing a production of "Inherit the Wind" and over the stage we had a large sign draped over head painted with bright letters that read "Read Your Bible". When we finally got to the end of the first half of the play, the actor playing Atticus hit his line "I want that sign taken down!" and when he said that, the sign fell... after a short pause, the actor said "Now i want another sign put up, just as big, with just as bright letters that says 'Read your Darwin'. During intermission, me another actor brought out a ladder and played a small scene about deciding to hang the original sign back up for anyone who was paying attention. That was our opening night, our teacher, Ms Boon, was furious, but the cast thought it was a hilarious moment.

9:20 Funfact : Blitz's disguise is heavely inspired by one of Brandon Rogers's character : Blah Blah the Clown (you may LOVE the 3 part show about this guy, it's like a true crime documentary, mixing horror with comedy) Brandon also voice Dr Octo looking guy. :)

15:44 "his face is wrecked, your shoe is gone, but by God Weeby, the show it must go on!"

Huh, I had forgotten that this episode was our fans' first glimpse of heaven back then. I really can't stand the cherubs, glad that we got likeable angels like Emily! ❤

The fun thing is that this was our first ever preview of what Heaven is like in the Vivzieverse, becahse this released years before HH

13:44 notice Blitzo changed into Verosica's outfit XD

Not to spoil, but I'd like to point out to you that Wally knows who Blitz is, and called him BlitzO. Also he sold torches in episode 2 at LooLoo land.. Also.. the Shoe must stay on works too.

PEANUT SPOTTED 14:59

There are many curious theories about this episode and why the Cherubim are trying to save someone as greedy as this old man. In the last episode, Moxxi talked about the importance of developing angelic technology in wars. Heaven may be in a One-Sided Cold War with Hell to get as many scientists and inventors as possible to its side. The Cherubim spent a good part of the episode listing great things that the old miser could do to be considered "great deeds" and "detachment from your sin" to get a chance to go to Heaven. In the song "Welcome to Heaven" you can see in passing an altar encouraging scientists to continue their discoveries even after death. Heaven fears a war against Hell and is doing everything to prepare for it.

Just a note, Wally's inconvenient torch stand WAS a part of Lulu Land.

This is one of my favorite heluva boss episodes

The Cherubs would not get a Demon form in hell. Just like how the exorcist angels did not get a Demon form. Mortal Souls get a Sinner Demon form in Hell and a Virtuous Soul form in Heaven. Sinner Demons get a form based on their appearance in life, how they died, their sins, and their personality. Yes, Alastor looks like a Deer because as a serial killer he would bury his victims at a deer hunting ground and one day a hunter mistook his brown hair for a deer and shot him, this is also why he has an x mark on his forehead that he usually keeps under his hair. His radio microphone is also a part of him even though it is not a continuous part of his main body, because he was a radio talkshow host in life. Angel Dust has a spider body because his family when he was alive was a crime family, and it is a pun on the concept of a web of crime. All of Angel Dust's family (which was confirmed to be rather homophobic, leading to them being abusive to Angel Dust) are also in Hell and have spider bodies. The only exception is Angel Dust's sister, Molly, who we see in a very brief cameo in Heaven during the song Welcome to Heaven.

I watched Helluva Boss before anything from Hazbin Hotel, and I gotta say that I was SUPER sus of heaven after the Cherubs had a coordinated crossbow spell

The show must go on, even if the shoe must go off

There's a theory that the C.H.E.R.U.B. ad plays in hell on purpose, in case sinners want to save someone.

Thinking about it, S1E4 was like…the most we saw of Vivziepop’s rendition of Heaven in her 2 shows for the better part of 3 years, before Hazbin Hotel proper dropped a couple weeks ago. Cuz I mean, this episode released almost 3 years ago, which was quite a while between then and S1E6 of Hazbin Hotel. The fact that CHERUB have their own group where clients can ask for their “blessings”, and improve their chances of getting into Heaven, gotta wonder if THAT’s how Adam made it into Heaven, but Angel Dust didn’t yet. Y’know, if it’s like “pay to get in” kinda deal 🫤 yeah that’s gonna be my head-cannon now; some simp put in their letter of recommendation to get Adam into Heaven. Probably Lute tbh

Vivien the creator of helluva Boss and hazbin Hotel is actually voice acting in her own Show some characters. She is realy talented

YAY THANKS FOR WATCHING MY FAV EP I LOVE THE CHERUBS

I don't know if I'm remembering incorrectly or not, but I remember blitzo as HorseFetish or something.

From what we know, a sinner takes his form with a combination of factors. Basic: The crimes or lifestyle, something striking close to your death (also known as Death Trauma), which could be something related to the cause of death itself or a strong feeling and factors that you didn't like in life about yourself, which could be something physical (your human appearance) or another characteristic that you didn't like. In the latter, some talk about Hunsk becoming a cat because he is a "cute and pet" animal and he doesn't like not being taken seriously as a person by others. I, for example, but I don't see anyone talking about it, think that Alastor is still mainly human and "charming" because that would attract people's attention in an attractive/carnal way, something he definitely doesn't like. And there are people who speculate about his mother being, in words at the time, "colored" and Alastor being "mixed race". If this is true, his straight hair could be the embodiment of his paternal bond, with whom he didn't get along well (to say the least). Angel/Antony is the best example of this mix. His spider form is a representation of his life of crime with his mafia family. He is, for the most part, white, just like the drug that killed him (and which took his name after his death). His pink lines and more effeminate appearance are a direct reference to his more androgynous features that he DIDN'T like in life and was tormented for having them. It must be borne in mind that he died in 1947. Unlike today, he was always belittled and reprimanded for his appearance and any more effeminate characteristics he showed, postponing them in life. More ironically, Angel was able to explore more of his sexuality and began to accept and like his effeminate appearance and preference for cute things after going to Hell.

RIP Collin, he deserved better.

One thing Ive noticed (not explicited stated) that if someone refers to blitz as blitzo, it means they have history, as the O is silent now. Makes me wonder what kind of relationship blitz and wally had at one point

That plot hole of not just using the "young" switch to reverse it does my head in 😂

12:54 if you look closely, you can actually see the little girl from the school in the first episode. And her face looks beat up. Probably from when she was launched through the roof 💀😭

can't wait to see you reacting to the 7th episode!!!!

So excited to see you get into the next episode! We're about to go on a feels-trip!

This episode is more fun than I remember, I recall it being the weakest of season 1, but it's not bad at all, just back to the sillier tone of the first episode. IIRC it's next episode that the focus becomes a lot more plot heavy, which I like a lot better for the show. Five is solid, and everything after that is pretty universally excellent (with one meh exception mid season 2)

I was looking forward to this video!! Had no time to watch earlier in the week 👀 ❤😊

People say it's filler, but it's not. It's a world building episode. This is the first glimpse of Heaven in the Hazbin/Helluva universe.

This episode hits different now after "Welcome to Heaven".

12:53 - I had never heard of this until a youtuber mentioned it, but apparently there's a film called what is written on his shirt. Which was *supposedly* criticizing the exploitation of children, but in doing so basically portrayed children *in* that way it was supposedly criticizing. Which is why it's infamous, and is likely what was referenced. I guess we should be happy it didn't make international news and all that.

If you haven't noticed the pattern with imp horn designs, it's worth figuring that out before episode 5.

Slayed as always your the best reactor ever! And I watched this yesterday but on my tv so I couldn’t comment lol😅

yippie my art got featured >:D thanks for reacting to another fun episode, love how u noticed the poster with Blitz and his sister

LMAO, this was truly one of my top favourite episodes when it first dropped, mostly bc of the glimpse of Heaven and angelic entities, but the comedy was also on point XD glad to see that u enjoyed it too!

Omg yay i love your reactions !!❤

12:03 my science teacher puts on those videos and we have to take notes on it

HAPPY BDAY WEEBY

20:03 kitty

Let me just say, that I love, LOVE that you stop the video to tell us what you think. Not only does this give us a chance to actually hear what you have to say, at better contributes to this being a transformative work and commentary. As opposed to all those folks that just watch it, then give some "poggers" face and go "Yo! That was dope!" when something happens.

My best "The show must go on" story from highschool isn't mine. We were at Thespian Conference and our school was main stage performance. Out leading actress had a part where she runs out into the audience and sprained her ankle, leaving a couple of us having to improv for like, five minutes while she got checked on back stage. She was good to go for the rest of the performance, but it was some funny ass improv.

I mean, it is not confirmed that Al was shot by a deer hunter, or rather, it is not confirmed how he died, but the thing of the how they die shows in their demon form is true, so there may be some truth in there.

Hehe I love seeing Peanut sneaking out then back through the door. What a cute silly boi

Is no one gonna talk about how that cat just casually walked in while she was just like “oh are they gonna kill her?” 15:00

I'm honestly surprised they don't have Millie in a catsuit more than a one off joke

The voice actor for the deer cherub(?) At the end is actually vivziepop herself

Fun fact: The deer angel and yellow lamb (i forgot her name) are voice by the same person who is the creator of helluva boss and hazbin hotel

Watching this episode after Hazbin Hotel just makes me laugh more. Imagine this happening while Charlie is up in Heaven vouching for Sinners, while her hellborne citizens are fucking around with cherubs 😂

Who here noticed that this whole episode is the 'angel on one shoulder with the devil on the other' skit? This was a great episode with that alone.

Thank you for a video, I like your reactions

I don't care if this is a plot episode of not, I love dark comedy and this is straight-up the darkest and funniest episode in the series!

Can't wait for you to get to season 2 you'll love it!!!

10:52 figure of speech.

AYYYY 2 MINUTES AGO THIS IS THE EARLIEST I'VE BEEN TO A NEW WEEBY VIDEO LETS GOOO

It's all uphill from here! BTW, not saying I hate this episode but compared to what comes later, it's definitely low on the tier list.

I love the little detail that, even if it's at a Discount, they still did A LOT of jobs last episode. Surely that had to be a pretty good profit, right? So why is Blitz still acting lie he's broke and desperate going forward? Hard cut to him just blowing up TVs for the hell of it, and it's like "OH.... That's why. These people are TERRIBLE with money!"

If you love Stolas you are going to have a field day with season 2!

OMG WEEBY ACTUALLY UPLOADED ON HER BIRTHDAY AND ITS HELLUVA BOSS, SHE REALLY IS THE GOAT! ALSO HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEBY

Blitz and Moxxie really slay in their drag outfits.

OMG I'm early! Can't wait to watch this ❤ Edit: I love your shirt and your cat is cute

While I know Helluva Boss might not be correlated to Hazbin Hotel, it's kind of odd that they have the CHERUB but also state they don't know the requirements to get to Heaven.

Oh no she left the door to the void open

The kitty enters the building 😊❤ 15:01

4:16 Note that Blitzo looks different now than he did in his poster.

Can't wait till she see's season 2 I'm hype

I was just thinking about when this was going to come out.

The Season 2.2 Trailer Hints at the Cherubs returning.

OMG!!! IT'S ME ART! :D 0:50

The costume changes were so slay omgg😂❤

I adore your high energy reactions but every time I see your cat I keep hoping you'll show the baby to us!!!

Today is like the golden day for me 😭 I got Murder Drones ep 7, Danny Motta reaction to Helluva Boss, and now you 😭😭💅

Honestly, I get pretty hungry when I see Collin, the lamb angel one....like wouldn't he taste delicious cause it's angel sheep meat???

Funny idea, the hell shake was the moment when Charlie was crazy in episode 5 :D

4:11-4:32 I was so hoping you'd take notice of the poster; it's the first time we see allusions to Barb in the show. There was a third imp in the pilot version of the poster, but that third imp was changed to be their mom. 15:01 (Aw, the little sleepyhead woke up

I had no idea that the door was a bathroom door, I thought it led to the rest of their house

A good episode, I say I say!

Note: Imps/Hell Hounds and What Stolas is are born in hell like Charlie. Sinners are former human beings. Hence why the imps/ hellhounds have baby versions and such.

16:01 Not you having a real life Gretchen Wieners moment LMAO

Yeeee I’m soo happy for you!

I think the issue with trying to avoid murdering people they aren't hired to is that they're professionals, and professionals have standards. It'd be bad for business if they just went around committing mass murder on Earth. That said, sometimes sh** happens and they kill someone who wasn't a target. Sometimes accidentally, sometimes intentionally (for example, they still defend themselves if attacked, and they poorly suited to nonlethal takedowns).

Day 2 of telling her she doesn’t need to fast forward the episodes because it’s free on RU-vid

Literally just thinking about when the episode would be out what timing.

The show must go on, but the shoe must go off

btw remember that you pronounce his name blitz, because the O is silent

Welp, and from the next episode the real Helluva Boss begins.

Fun fact the deer cherub was voiced by vivzie herself

The fact Vivzie herself voices the deer.

YES THIS EPISODE IS SO FUNNY

yippee new video
