Thank you for narrating what we all see on the screen lol

[@RoarTheRapper]

Glad you're so perceptive. Not everyone is, and I have audience members who appreciate analysis of even finer details like expressions, because some of them like to write stories and songs and convey emotion and understanding; all the details of a show like this is helpful. But go ahead, be a funny little tumor.

[@SH-qs7ee]

I've always wondered exactly how intelligent Vox is. When Alastor first got to hell, he destroyed the status quo by targeting the older overlords and creating a power vacuum. Why the hell would you tell Alastor there's a new status quo then spend several minutes doing a very catchy tune about how insignificant he is?

[@resyrum5301]

@@SH-qs7ee Vox is kinda smart, but his fear/hatred of Alastor causes him to make the series of terrible decisions he does once he finds out he's back. He's trying to get ahead of the narrative and flex how much control he has over the situation, but he's so far ahead of the narrative that he creates it himself and puts the situation far out of his control

[@Tydy_Braxton]

real

[@gurglequeen433]

The thing is, Alastor does care, he's not entirely indifferent to what Vox is saying, it annoys him. He's good at acting like it doesn't but Alastor hates being disrespected so when he saw Vox was going at him he immediately went to his radio tower to start messing with him.

[@RoyalSorceress]

Also, Alastor knows that the more indifferent he acts, the more upset Vox will become, and that probably really amuses him.

[@ALPHA-THEATRE]

true

[@aceraddo2556]

I feel as though Alastor wouldn't of been annoyed at that moment. He sees Vox as lesser then himself, so his insults don't carry any weight in Alastor's eyes

[@gurglequeen433]

@@aceraddo2556 Maybe it wasn't so much what Vox was doing, but the fact he had a crowd listening to him about it. Like if one person was saying crap about me I would role my eyes and walk away, if they had a crowd hanging off their every word though that would bug me. Especially if you're someone with the power and influence that he does.

[@aceraddo2556]

@@gurglequeen433 The argument still holds up. All of the people listening to Vox were also lesser than Alastor. If anything, he'd enjoy the fact that Vox is spreading Alastor's name further. It gave Alastor an excuse to make himself better known in the public, and the chance to slander the Vees while doing so

[@captainkirk265]

[@shellshockthelagiacrus3247]

A couple of things I'd also like to also add 1: surprisingly "thats the tea" isn't actually a new saying. It apparently has been said since at least the 1920s, which is around when alastor lived and died i believe if i remember correctly so in a way you could even say hes showing the old has just as much of a place as the new. 2: in both of alastor's duets, hell's greatest dad and stayed gone he's done something other demons don't, think carmilla and velvet, adam and charlie, lute and adam vs charlie, etc both respective parties had entirely different styles while singing. Alastor meanwhile just jumps right into their song, matching their style. He's trying to beat them at their own game musically after being disrespected, basically saying. "I can do everything you can do just as well if not better." Which imo definitely helped show off his confidence and strength. He doesn't need to change things up to steal the show from you, he'll just do what you do better. Which imo is especially evident in hell's greatest dad where he goes blow for blow with Lucifer.

[@Charliewestmore321]

If you consider the pilot as well; Alastor starts a song with Charlie that's very old-timey show tune, very vaudeville, which unites his style with her love of theatricality which also shows he's very good at reading people, figuring out what they like and what they need, and adapting to form bonds (or make deals!) with them when he chooses to. He's just such a formidably smart and charismatic character.

[@crimsonknight7011]

Literally right before this Vox (Tv demon) was telling Val (the moth demon who owns Angel Dust’s soul) not to go attack Charlie’s Hotel because it would make them look weak and that he should just do nothing. Then Vox immediately ignores his own words and does this broadcast making himself look desperate and weak.

[@neolithiumproduction]

Which shows us how blind he is to his own rivalry and insecurity with Alastor. xD

[@WolforNuva]

A great touch of hypocrisy. It was easy for him to give good advice and act all high and mighty when it was someone else's issue, but once it became his own problem he couldn't help but do everything he said not to.

[@macaylacayton2915]

I mean it's easier to say something then it is to do it yourself just saying

[@DontCallMeYourSlime]

Alastor played it perfectly. He didn’t announce his return to Hell. He let Vox do that for him. And Vox fumbled hard. He should’ve said nothing about Alastor returning, but by bringing attention to it, in an effort to get ahead of Alastor and discredit him, he gave Alastor an easy platform to rebuttal. Vox starts with calling him a hasbeen, trying to portray him as a nobody that no one cares about, except he’s notable enough that Vox himself came out of nowhere to bring Alastor’s name up to everyone. In addition, Alastor perfectly rebuttals him by spilling the tea about Vox trying to recruit him before. Now someone might look at Vox and think “well if Alastor is a nobody, why did you try to recruit him?”

[@PlutoDarknight]

"The TV is buffering" followed by the entire town [except Hazbin Hotel of course] suffering a full blackout is peak.

[@kiriyubel]

Actually if you look closely when the city goes into blackout you'll see the hotel's lights in the windows disappear as well, but then when it's starts to close up on the hotel the lights are red and remind me of Alastor or the color of emergency lights... It could be Alastor's power, but considering the hotel used to belong to the royal family before Charlie took over they might already have a secondary power source for cases like this... But yes, Radio has a huge advantage over TV in this case because usually radios could work on both batteries and electricity and there are even radios that can work with the radio-waves themselves as their power source, allowing Alastor to keep broadcasting even in a total blackout.

[@marikuma88]

@@kiriyubelthe hotel uses pretty old technology, Alastor probably made it that way so Vox couldn’t teleport in or spy on them

[@neolithiumproduction]

The other brilliant part of the "medium is getting bloody rare" is that Alastor is iconic with his deer imagery, and Vox is pulling out a deer head in Alastor's colors from the oven as he sings that line. Just a third layer on that line alone. xD

[@skullnbutterfly]

I think vox Is trying to intimidate Alastor But in reality: It will be pretty tasty for him Because his a cannibal😂

[@Cosmosdestructor]

@@skullnbutterfly He also likes Venison.

[@Hurricayne92]

Alastors deer imagery is linked to the fact that he was killed by a hunter that mistook him for a deer, making this even better.

[@thedarkbard]

Another thing is that ‘bloody rare,’ implies a freshness to the object. While it’s a great metaphor, both radio and alastor are anything but fresh, and any of the sinners would be able to realize this if they were given time to think. But they aren’t, Vox’s whole style is speaking so fast that you barely can process his words.

[@iambeastlee]

​@@Hurricayne92 alastor's character design could also be inspired by he myth of the Wendigo, which is in most stories a human possessed by a demon who makes them crave human flesh. the more they eat, the more they transform into this monstrous deer/human hybrid thing, and the worse the hunger gets.

[@bethanjihen]

Also, Vox's VA is an AMAZING Broadway performer; take a look at the Legally Blonde musical that you can easily find on YT! (It's truly good!) He sounds so sinister here, but he's known for playing really sweet and kind characters.

[@phoenixsoren]

I especially love when Alastor points out that Vox is powerless without the other V's, because they actually make the content, he's just the platform. Without content creators, video doesn't do anything

[@jesternario]

The most interesting thing to note is the tone that Vox uses. When he's on his own, he is so confident, calm, and collected. Once he starts broadcasting, he's flighty and going all over the place. You can see he's practically trying to self delude himself as he tries to convince his viewers to ignore the Radio Demon, and that insecurity is what Alistor uses against him.

[@ms042-yc4gx]

Ironically, it seems thatVix tries to emulate Alastor always smiling, he just fails at it miserably most of the time. (When Velvette calls him he does Alastor-like grin and mannerisms and gets immediately told to knock it off, all his pictures are with him grinning, like the one on the door)

@@RoarTheRapper There’s also the fact that after vox glitches out and Alastor starts His solo bit he has a little snarl in his voice when he starts you can also see it as well

[@shaskusmas]

When push comes to shove, it's because Alastor prodded. I love that Alastor has incredible raw power, but he uses charm and finesse to take down Vox. One gentle poke and Vox retaliated so hard he swapped their virtual presences, allowing Alastor to trap him in the Old Crap room while he infected Vox with a virus (you have to pause when Vox glitches out to catch that. Another example of Alastor being knowledgeable of technology more advanced than when he was alive.) Vox should have listened to his own advice and done nothing, lol. Another interesting detail I noticed is that Vox mentioned status quo before he began his broadcast, but Alastor somehow seemed aware of this and addressed it in his outro.

[@ShadowFox1412]

I didn’t catch that. That’s cool. I thought the virus stuff from vox was just him being overdramatic about Alastor lmao.

[@shaskusmas]

@@ShadowFox1412 I also have a very strong hunch that the seemingly innocuous deal he made with Vaggie to never ask him to engage with television technology is going to have to do with Vox specifically. Like maybe Vox will do something to the hotel, but Alastor won't intervene until Vaggie asks him, at which point she will have broken the deal. And what do you suppose happens if someone breaks a deal with Alastor? He's got hell's power players lined up like dominos, and all he has to do is give a gentle nudge.

[@ravenmasiewicz6742]

@@shaskusmas holy shit, I didn't even think about that! I'm sure Alastor could wipe the floor with at least Vox and Valentino (no idea what Velvette is capable of), but why shouldn't he take advantage of the Vees inevitably fucking with the hotel? Honestly, if only Vaggie hadn't been so rude to him from the get go, Alastor probably wouldn't have even bothered making the whole commercial thing part of a deal in the first place

[@shaskusmas]

@@ravenmasiewicz6742 well, I think Alastor may have wanted to nab Vaggie's soul either way, since that gives him power over Charlie which gives him power over Lucifer. I don't think Alastor got his thumb over so many souls by saying, hey, sell me your soul for this or that. He makes deals, deals that seem better than they are. I think Husker can attest to that. As well as many others in their respective deals (Val and Angel)

[@ravenmasiewicz6742]

@@shaskusmas I mean, he didn't even try for Vaggie's soul, nor did he try for Charlie's (though the latter was desperate enough at the time she might've actually gone for it). Honestly, the only person we know for a FACT he owns the soul of is Husk, I can't even find anywhere it's truly confirmed he and Niffty have a deal. Heck, while hardly an all that reliable source Alastor's wikia page implies when the pair first showed up he just conjured them to him like he can other things, not through owning their souls. For all we know Niffty's there purely because she likes hanging around Alastor, not because she's obligated to be there. Though I am curious how many souls he DOES own. We've only seen Husk and potentially Niffty, but Carmilla had said that the council of overlords owned millions of souls between them, and at the very least Alastor and the Vees are probably considered pretty young considering how relatively recently they died.

[@Moonchild0]

Alastor is a cannibal and so "medium getting bloody rare" has a double meaning 🤣 And they do it not only here but in other songs too!

[@ravenmasiewicz6742]

pretty sure Vox was more pointing to Alastor's deer features than the cannibalism, considering it was venison he was cooking in that scene

[@Moonchild0]

@@ravenmasiewicz6742 I mean it's both true. One doesn't cancel the other one out. In this scene Vox wanted to grill Alastor's head in particular. Even though a deer head it the most inedible part of a deer, it was here to tell the story. To tell: a) Vox wants Alastor dead b) Alastor is a cannibal; and yes, he likes venison espeically deer/stag parts as he himself is one edit: Most sinners are reminiscent of animal figures. This is because how they died. Angel for example died because he was caught in the web of crimes. That's why he resambles a spider demon. Alastor on the other hand was mistaken as an animal (deer) and got shot in the head (x marks the spot). That's why Alastor has a deer from as an demon. He is abvously very snarky about his death, that's why he makes fun of it. And he does seem to like the taste.

[@crispy_retrodude9463]

Not just that, alastors radio show is called “The Proper Medium to Express One’s Self”, so it’s two in one

[@Moonchild0]

​@@crispy_retrodude9463 You are referring to the episode one when Alastor offered his help to Charlie about the advertisment for the hotel. That's not the title of the advertisment - nor is there any info about how his radio show is called. He - Alastor - is a radio demon that frowns upon everything "television based" which also include an old tv. That's also why Alastor "had a little fun" with it ;) That's also why he offered Vaggie an old camera before turning into a newer version of it. You do recognize that the video (and television) demon is Vox and that both have beef together?

[@morfy42]

The, "medium is getting bloody rare" line was my favorite when I first heard this song. It gets even better when you realize he's cooking a deer head, which alastor is associated with because of his deer features.

Yet alastor eats deer

[@Adamgamer42069]

Ironic cuz alastors favorite food is raw deer yes not venison (cooked deer)

[@paulhesketh4289]

My favourite songs in hazbin were definitely the duets like this, hells greatest dad is also hilarious. Alastor gets into a dick swinging contest with Lucifer over who's a better father figure to Charlie

[@foxxknight8847]

I'm convinced that Alastor's intent in that duel with Lucifer was to motivate Luci to step up to the plate and take up the role he'd been absent from for so long. To be a dad to Charlie by showing him someone else was ready to step into the role. Although, I don't think Alastor actually had any intent to play that part and I don't think this was done for any altruistic purposes. My theory is that his contract is with Lilith and SHE sent him there to help Charlie. Alastor is a genuine psychopath and doesn't do anything without some personal gain coming from it. I *DO* think he is starting to genuinely like the Hotel crew, but that doesn't mean he won't sell them out. Anyway, I don't think it's a coincidence that he and Lilith both disappeared for 7 years and he showed up at the Hotel literally minutes after Charlie left a message for her mom saying how worried she was that her plan wasn't going to work out.

Again great take on it, especially on the trends and entertainment having no substance. Because yes clearly Vox and the Vees are opportunists and really represent what you mentioned: jumping on every trend and everything that makes views to remain on top. Vox made a mistake by provoking Alastor, especially while being so personally affected by it. It was way too easy for Alastor to humiliate him and rile him up... I actually think that Alastor doesn't have anything to do with the blackout at the end, at least not with his powers. Rather, he riled Vox up so effectively that the TV Demon bluescreened and created the blackout. I think it makes it even better: Alastor doesn't even need magical powers, just wits.

It makes sense why Vox would have wanted Alastor to join him because he recognizes when something is going to be worth adding to his technological empire. Which is undoubtedly why he and Velvette get along, as she represents social media, which indeed did become the next big thing after television. Vox represents soft power that focuses on influence, while Alastor represents hard power that prefers physical dominance.

[@brettevans278]

Alistor is also "deer-themed', so the meal hits more.

[@veronikamajerova4564]

Fun thing about the "his medium is getting blody rare" is that Alisters demon form is that of a deer or wendigo. So Vox went for extra diss here. Btw, reason why Alister has deer form is because when he was alive, he was serial killer and cannibal. One day he was hiding one of his victims in a forest and was shot by hunter who mistook him for a deer.

This song does definitely send a message to the other Overlords; if you try and go up against the Radio Demon, expect to have your little parade taken down by him in a matter of moments. Besides, the line 'The TV is buffering' is unique, as radios of the 1920s and 1930s didn't really buffer or glitch out, plus they've been around longer, in which Alastor uses this to his advantage.

[@judgegriff8041]

"He'd be nothing without the other Vees" Real nice touch by Alastor. Sows a bit of dissent among the Vees, lets them know that they are stronger than Vox while complimenting them which, by the smiles on their faces from those words, can make them more sympathetic towards Alastor and make Vox more paranoid that they may leave him.

Alastor very much cares, Alastor can't stand two things. One is those who completely disregard him such as someone stronger than him or someone that just straight up doesn't care about him. And the second is those that disrespect him or the things he's doing. He just doesn't show it in a way you'd normally notice. Alastor is always smiling and uses it to hide his feelings and intentions. To understand what he's thinking and feeling you need to pay attention to his eyes as his eyes are incredibly expressive and are one of the 2 ways he shows his feelings, the other being his shadow.

[@garrettviewegh9028]

The deeper symbolism in this song, is that Alastor is radio, an old, some would argue, outdated medium. While Vox is TV, the new, hit thing everyone always watches. But, Vox is always vying for everyone’s attention. While Alastor, doesn’t need to do much to get people listening. TV tries to get everyone to stop listening, but Radio is passive, you can be doing chores and still listen in. TV requires your full attention. TV’s require a clear signal, while Radio, runs on radio waves, and doesn’t receive much interference. Thus, Alastor/Radio, defeated Vox/TV. Also, notice how Vox was telling people what to think. While Al asked questions and have his own perspective, making listeners think and form their own opinions. Words, are some of Al’s greatest weapons, he’s a silver tongued manipulator.

Not sure if you caught it but Alastor at the end parodies what Vox says at the beginning basically going "Ok at the beginning of this you were in charge you were the top dog around but its time for you to remember your place"

[@Blize-Red]

Thank you for this, your view is to say how Charlie does, "🎶that's what the fuck I've been saying!!🎶" lol seriously though

[@XShadowAngel]

You're one of the only ones i've seen that got the "Hi medium is getting bloody rare" bit. That's my favorite bit of the whole song.

[@ruealgie]

Vox is so amazinggg. And let's be real... Vox /did/ get a rise out of Alastor. Yes, Al won the battle but in a way he kind of confirmed that he cares about Vox's behavior and antics.

[@aidenwirtz9038]

It is not a cannibal town, it is hell.

[@yozarian86]

I always tell content creators to try to be themselves and not let the audience dictate what they do too much. Like if they’re gamers, don’t let people force you to play games you hate just for views. And Alastor is my favorite Hazbin character.

[@Rozi72]

The lyrics SLAYED. The song just didn't disappoint. The burns? Savage. I'm on my knees lol. And you know what you would also have fun with? CyYu and LeeandLie's cover of it. Can't get it out of my head...

[@omni42]

It's a pretty big point at the end that he completely re-sets the song. Once Vox's transmission dies, Alastor pulls back to his comfortable pace and meter. The final blow is him trivializing the entire fight, oh this will be fun... Similar to the fight with adam, you lack discipline, control, and you're sloppy. Alstor is terrifyingly unshakable and enjoys the game. Even after finally getting beaten, he leaves an eerie feeling as he retreats. Incredibly well written character.

[@JohanLenin-pf8kz]

Your Hazbin reactions are really good. I think you should keep on doing them.

[@atomgame8619]

thank you so much man!

[@NikaNani686]

"doing nothing for about 15 more secooooonds befoooore etc... ok here we go!" - idk why but that got me laughing so much xD

[@RoarTheRapper]

Gotta follow that TOS! XD

[@here_4_round_158]

You should listen to smile like you mean it, and we're sure to drown. Two fan made songs for hazbin Hotel

[@user-nh3fc3vf2m]

I like this video. I haven’t even seen the show., And I already love the radio demon ❤️

[@Demonoicgamer666]

I agree with alastor do what you love rather than what’s popular.

[@blizz2748]

Something about how the world works that might help. Souls are power. Overlords like vox and alastor deal in souls with individuals or groups. By discrediting and bashing alastor vox is hoping fewer and fewer people make soul deals with him thereby weakening him

[@drakonghost6967]

Bro you should definitely check out the finale song it has a bit more of Alastor on it pretty cool

[@johnballard3403]

In all fairness, KZbin isn't blameless in their creator's clout chasing. Pretty sure they work their algorithm to benifit whatever the latest trend happens to be.

[@RoarTheRapper]

It happens for sure, but I would argue it’s first and foremost coming down to what people value. If they value it, that’s where the magnifying glass goes.

[@meldiastar]

The other two v's are the adult entertainment industry and social media both of which have heavily dictated how video technology has advanced so calling him the weakest of them is a cool reference

[@NobleVoicez]

He called Vox Vex

[@nobody.of.importance]

Why don't more rap and hiphop songs have a more jazzy beat behind em? I think that'd make for a really cool genre.

[@Eri587]

I honestly didn't realize that Vox was trying to cancel alastor like is twitter until you mentioned the follower thing, is funny because Velvette is the social media demon lol.

[@pazorausclio2447]

hi!!! new sub i love your coments are funny :3

[@Acefdiamonds]

I would like to point out that radio will never die out Bluetooth uses radio waves TVs uses radio waves so no matter what vox(tv dude) will rely on radio to be around

[@scottsimmons5085]

BTW his the radio demon he can't be on video so that cool

[@user-uo5yf6pg5x]

I don't like rap and for me rapper is synonym of looser, but this one guy actually talks with sense. Cheers.

[@RoarTheRapper]

Why's rap equal loser behavior to you? A lot of artistic individuals find a good outlet for creativity, a direction to what might otherwise be idol hands behavior, and even foster self respect and understanding of your worth as person by putting so much of yourself into your music.

[@Adamgamer42069]

React to creative control

[@MJAnonymous6003]

I personally love Stayed gone because of how it's written. I feel like most of the Hazbin Hotel songs are written in this sort of rushed way and the verses are filler only ever trying to bring listeners back to the chorus over and over again. I'm 99% sure I'm so fond of Stayed Gone because it doesn't really have that solid chorus to play every 10 seconds.

[@allengrove1864]

You should react to rustage

[@ScyBlade]

I enjoy the fact you caught onto the fact Vox shouldn't have done this, and why he screwed up doing this.

[@Alastor-_._._-.--.358]

Ty for rating me

[@jasonbattease1431]

called out lankybox and ssniperwolf fr fr

[@RoarTheRapper]

No idea who lanky is but yes, sniper wolf sucks. . (Also idk if you saw my last comment, I thought you said “CHECK OUT lanky box” and I was like what?! No! What’s your deal?! Sorry!)

[@marshalt0201]

you're talking about sniperwolf, right?

[@tnecniw]

Something worth pointing out with the entirety of VOx's shtick is that he is essentially messing himself up. Example is the line "Pivoted to video" which is a reference when Facebook tried to entice people to come over and make their video service a proper competitor to KZbin, by gloating about getting ABSURD number of views. (Not mentioning that they counted every single time someone even saw it while scrolling, inflating views to the insane) Which of course fell on its face. Essentially, Vox,in this entire song, is making a false claim.

[@brettevans278]

Jimmy(Mr. Beast) DID show it works... 😅

[@ian3523]

please I beg of u react to epic the musical

[@RoderickEtheria]

Alastor let Vox destroy himself.

[@RoarTheRapper]

And what’s weird is he threw a tantrum later. The man isn’t even that wounded, just his pride because he’s so obsessed with “image”.

[@gemmalightfoot2669]

I dunno if vox is the weakest of the V's. All the V's rely on modern amenities. If anything i'd say Velvette is the weakest V. Valentino's the porn industry, that's been going strong for a long time and only grows stronger by modern amenities such as tv and social media. Vox would be next as although Alastair does a fine job of showing his weakness to blackouts, he too gets stronger with modern amenities such as the internet and games consoles (i'd be interested to see if the internet demon would eventually cripple valentino into poverty, but thats a whole other theory). Velvette is the social media demon which although strong, many people are wary of so would never stand to gain full control without the other V's (although she could be part of an elaborate plan to boost Valentino on her platform a la onlyfans style). So many theories 🤷💖

[@Hazbinhotelfan98]

Follow your dreams don't give in to people words you do your own thing your a great person and there's two songs you have to react to there fanmade songs the first song is addict it's shows more about angel dust and Valentino story line and cherry bomb as well is in it all in all addict is a great song the second song is amalee and divine music one hell of a team they made a original song for hazbin hotel it's so good
