Dethklok Makes a Deal With the Devil

[@beantowncrocodile8327]

[@raymondcroteau]

The contracts weren't signed, but, as that particular part was a verbal contract for the Hot Topic Gift Certificate, that The Devil took with Him, that portion is legit and done by even The Old Laws. Which makes it even more epic because they just handed over everything and it's a done deal.

Different situations. A deal with the devil is pretty simple. Damien, on the other hand, was intentionally trying to make the contract as convoluted as possible while Dethklok were still suffering from the loss of Offdensen.

Straight up just bargained the soul of the devil for a gift card to hottopic, NOW THATS BRUTAL

[@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470]

The most brutal part was the devil stealing the gift card without signing the contract.

[@raymondcroteau]

Which, by The Old Laws, means he accepted that part of the agreement!

[@articusramos808]

After all of that the Dethklok band gets 7% of the Devil's own soul.... and Murderface is a notary. MAN I miss the other clip. That one had a fun discussion on Murderface being a Notary with a sign posted outside of his old home.

[@madjack1748]

How is it that Dethklok can negotiate a contract with Satan in their favor but they couldn't even understand the Re-Negotiation contract with Crystal Mountain Records?

[@papertigerworkshop1174]

Because they're just THAT dedicated to being the most loveable failures.

[@DragonmanX90]

The devil didn't really have anything to threaten the band with. Either they made the deal or they didn't; they didn't after their negotiating gave the devil cold feet. The label however held a lot of cards to play against the band when it came time to renegotiate; specifically their money. We see that the label could cut off all of Dethklok's funding for their new album, making it so they had to throw a massive show to break even. The real problem was that the band really has no sense of fiscal responsibility; their spending went so wild any reserves they had were probably zeroed out. Think about that: Dethklok makes more money than some civilized nations; but they can burn through that surplus just renovating their home. ....Admittedly their home at that point was a flying fortress ala the SHIELD Heli-carrier crossed with Dracula's castle Them leaving the label and signing with another one probably had some kind of huge penalty that'd be a much bigger or more costly headache than the band could put up with; so without Offdensen to handle the dirty work in the boardroom, they didn't have many options.

[@watchmeyodel]

Idk. Making a deal w the devil is pretty brutal. So they're gonna act brutal back to him.

[@jessicapennell5252]

@@DragonmanX90 I guess the moral is, the early bird gets the soul. Satan had his chance, Crystal Mountain just got there first.

[@SergeantExtreme]

@@papertigerworkshop1174 Finally. Someone who understands this clip. It's not that difficult to interpret. In order to truly understand the Blues, they had to fail at everything. So here, the ONLY way they could fail was by becoming so good at negotiating contracts that they turned the deal with the devil into a deal in THEIR favor.

[@FingersMahoney]

This joke REALLY puts how much legal bs happens in the music business into perspective. Even the devil wants nothing to do with that.

[@Belgand]

He's the Devil, not a record executive. There are limits to his evil.

[@FingersMahoney]

@@Belgand Tou-fucking-che.

[@r.h.1400]

This is why I like deathklok The never sold their soul to the devil, they actually made an offer on his

[@theapexsurvivor9538]

And that because he took the gift card, unless he returns it unused within a VERY short amount of time, he's technically agreed to the deal by accepting the payment. So dethklok probably own 7% of the devil's soul from this episode onwards.

[@rachelectroDC-84]

This whole episode was perfection. The endless train and murder references in blues songs; the boys needing bricks tied to their fingers to stop them from shredding; and this hilarious take on the Robert Johnson legend - just brilliant. 🚂😈

I think this scene is the one of the funniest scenes I've seen. A bunch of guys are supposed to bargain their souls with the Devil, but then they read the contract and use their experience as proffesional musicians (and all it entails) to renegotiate and they come to the conclusion that the only fair thing is that the Devil gives his soul to them in return for a coupon to Hot Topic.

This conflicts with a later episode. If they were already this good at negotiating a contract, why did they need Charles to come save them from signing a new contract?

[@maylabrown4584]

Real Answer: Flanderization In-Universe Answer: Unlike in the case with the Blues Devil where they have leverage and rather want what he has to offer it rather than need it, they weren't in that type of position when it came to making a new contract. The Blues Devil could say yes or no and at worst they'd still feel depressed and nothing would change, however in the other scenario it was either agree or lose everything.

It would be worth bargainig with the devil just to get out of the burning sun. With sunburns like that I'd try to negotiate even longer
