*Thanks for the new Helluva Boss video, Imp Cut from **#CartoonUniverse**!* ;D *It's true that there is both a light and dark side to fame and fortune, and Fizzaroli definitely learned that lesson the hard way! Thank Jesus Christ that Fizzaroli finally got the courage to stand up to Mammon, the Demon Prince of Greed, and quit his job from him, courtesy of both Asmodeus and Blitz, , as well as his benign deaf fan in the awesome seventh season 2 episode of Helluva Boss, "Mammon's Magnificent Musical Mid-Season Special "!* 😇

Fizz perfectly shows the duality of being a performer. He just wanted to bring smiles to people's faces and he wildly succeeded, making the world a better place...but at the same time there were those who took their enjoyment *way* too far and made the person who brought them joy in the first place start to question whether their efforts to make people happy worth it. Fan communities really can make or break a performer. We've all heard the stories of fandoms who got *wildly* out of hand to the point that the artists withdrew from the stage for the sake of their own mental and in some cases *physical* health.

[@SweetOrangeGirl]

One known example of this was when the Steven Universe fandom went after a fan artist who drew Rose Quartz a little too thin and nearly made her commit suicide.

[@ZephyrBW]

Good wording

[@catdogmousecheese]

Well, I think in this particular case with Fizz's stalker it had more to do with how some fans can get so obsessed with a fictional character or world that they completely lose touch with reality. Fizz's stalker believed Fizz's only reason for existing was to entertain him personally and forgot Fizz is a real person with his own thoughts and feelings and a whole life outside of being a clown.

[@scootinkermie]

Like the Friday Night Funkin, they bullied modders so hard that they left the community and some even took their mods down, I was so disappointed in the community when it was going down, I remember being so confused and finding out the drama weeks after the fact and it was so jarring because I had only associated myself with the more reasonable side of the Fandom

[@mrbeastfan8079]

What's scarier is that this is that the way Mammon treats Fizz is definitely just the appetiser to how Valentino treats Angel dust

[@chkneileinne]

The thing is... Val's worst.

[@mrbeastfan8079]

[@SweetOrangeGirl]

Except Val is 10,000,000,000% worser.

[@DreadnoughtDT]

Mammon at least pretends to care. Valentino is just a sadistic rapist.

[@WisenedMan]

​@DreadnoughtDT Nah Mammon is still worse than Val. I'd rather have a boss who is straightforward in how they regard me rather than being a deceptive parasite.

[@SoulOfJustice1994]

I feel Fizz would have cracked during this pageant, if he hadn't met Ozzie. The Glam Sisters really had it out for him and were very good at their performance. Fizz would have had a breakdown and Mammon would have just tossed him aside...

[@FallenOne669]

This is why I'm worried for Glitz and Glam. They may be okay with being sexualized, but no matter how far they're willing to go, Mammon will push them off the deep end and suck them dry of any enjoyment of their lives like the parasite he is.

[@leebulger7112]

I think it will be interesting if Glitz and Glam become Mammon's "minions" in some way to be antagonists while getting similar treatment Fizzarolli got.

[@VeWatchesVideos]

Exactly this! I already mentioned this on another video, but with all the real-life horror stories about influential sexual predators in the entertainment industry and Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel NOT shying away from topics like sexual exploitation, I fear for the Glam Twins. The worst Fizz got was sex bots made in his image; what awaits the twins might be a much more direct and brutal kind of violation...

[@karinasilvanaramirez9025]

Honestly they deserve being treated as the b*tches

[@cienciandre]

This. I do think the only thing that saved Fizz from being physically exploited was Ozzie's protection, which the twins don't have

Hell really is other people, from toxic fans to insanely high standards. No wonder there isn't any physical torture when doing psychological pain is much worse, and the scars are deeper.

[@UnaPersona-b1y]

Vivzie's series are the definition of the phrase "Hell is other people" Many complain that this "doesn't look like hell" because we don't see demons torturing the souls of sinners, there is a relatively functional society, the inhabitants of hell live their lives in a similar way to humans, etc. But it's because that's the idea. What makes hell a horrible and tormenting place is the people themselves, they themselves choose to feed back the cycle.

[@OuterHeaven1984]

The Japanese have a saying. "People have three faces. One face that you show to the world to see. The second face you show only to your close friends and family. The third face you don't show anyone, for it's the trustest reflection of who you are."

[@rlyman3516]

This can apply to multiple characters in the hellverse, blitz never talks about the fire. He’s comfortable being a little bit open to his closest confidants, and everyone he talks to knows about the name change. Fizzys white face is on display for all to see, those who were in the fire and his closest confidants know about the burns but only people he trust 100% are allowed to see underneath the head scarf. Angel dust is visibly and physically there for all to see, only those at the hotel and Cherribomb He talks to genuinely, only husk and cherribomb know that he’s being abused. Only cherribomb knows the specifics and only Valentino knows that Angel Dust’s real name is Anthony.

[@rainbowtoyfunrandomess1982]

Mammon would definitely do anything for fame and fortune since he's the King of Greed, which means he'll give Fizzarolli a hard time even though Fizz looked up to Mammon and he's trying to prove himself. Luckily Fizz manage to get out of Mammon's abuse and torture even though Mammon said that Ozzie will regret ever to reveal his secret. Poor Fizzy, I feel bad for him.😬😥

[@Dylan-x7q]

I knew back from before blogs and fan sites where even an idea that being famous was a slice of hell brought to earth. the tabloids, alone, was enough to show me how intrusive people can get.

[@ThatShortCat]

I didn't realize it before, but during the scene with Creepso at the meet and greet session Fizz grabs his collar in the same way that he does during the House of Asmodeus routine. When he's working at Asmodeus's club, he has a little wire tucked in there to communicate with the rest of the staff, (Ie. "Keep that guy Far Away from me") But he doesn't have that security at all during Mammon's Meet and Greet.

[@fdgod1931]

There’s a reason why they say fame is lame

[@BIacK_JacK_]

After Fizz quit, Glitz and Glam must've won, but they will soon realize its not all what its cooked up to be.

[@savagebear4374]

When you are on top, your always under pressure to stay there. For Glitz and Glam it will be much worse than it was for Fizz.

[@SyzygyNoon]

The really sad thing is, my first thought was that they’d at least have each other for support, but you know they’d eventually start resenting each other and drifting apart, either by their own doing, or Mammon’s. They’ll eventually hate each other, and may never speak to each other again. The fame they seek as a team will completely erode the bond that unites them, and they’ll never even see the irony.

[@Novalvirri]

i loved Ozzie's reaction to Blitz asking "sooo who tops?" at the end of the new episode. the smile made me really giddy- im more than convinced that ozzie and fizz's relationship will have a positive impact and influence on blitz's relationship and even change the way he sees his relationship with stolas, seeing as they both would be dating royalty. i can't wait to see how the dynamic with everyone develops!

[@NJ-tm1vn]

Ya know what I wanna know? How did Verosika get permission to perform on earth and be so popular? Wouldn't her being popular be risky for humans to find out she's a demon?

[@2gredvisions8560]

Well, this video and others that Cartoon Universe made did explain why Verosika and her succubi gang do business in the Human World. It is their job after all, most definitely by Ozzie, to entice and incite lust within humans. Seeing how she's a performer, it's likely that she just blended in with other music artists/ groups that aren't signed to a label, and go around doing public performances. It happens 😅. As for concerns regarding someone doing background checks on her, it's possible that Verosika could've planned ahead and fabricated some sort of earthly background for herself so that none would be the wiser of her true nature.

[@ebonyblack4563]

Fame isn't worth it, really. There's a reason some creators never show their face.

[@lilkeyla5769]

5:16 i would include blitz too, thats why fizz didnt have an issues letting him back in his life, as blitz was his closet friend and support all those years ago, and thats why ozzie even reached out to him too. blitz and ozzie are two of the people i think fizz can trust/ rely on, of course more with ozzie, to be himself, and take off his hat- but i think with more time fizz and blitz will get back to be closer friends once more

[@tomaetoma359]

I think 2:23 What Impcut said pretty much confirms that Fizzarolli was able to grab Mammon's attention before his horrible accident..?? Then after it happened, there was no way that Mammon was going to loose his prized star (He could've been the one to save Fizz in the fire??) and insisted that Fizz get robot enhancements to keep up his popularity and fame (Really for Mammon to keep up his own fortune) and this is why Fizz feels so indebted to him..

[@someguy7174]

Well technically Blitz wasn’t mistaken for a human celebrity because the voice actor is the human celebrity.

[@joserubenrodriguezfuentes]

I Would Say that This is The Best Episode of The Entire series so Far Suddendly Fizzarolli Turn to be our Fav Character Alex Brightman at His Best

[@thewebsurfer2919]

If Mammon is ruining his own ring, Crimson & other criminals might try expand into other rings to make a profit.

[@juanvilas5341]

Being famous and admired only brings out the worst in people, it makes them stupid, always looking for the autograph even if they put their lives and yours at risk. It's not that difficult to casually say hello, say you like their work and ask for a photo if they can give it to you and if not, don't start crying online like I see many people do because their idols didn't give them a pathetic photo, look some people don't like to take photos constantly and other times that person is not in a mental state to interact with his or her fans. Because you know, they are human and they have good and bad days.

[@ashleightompkins3200]

[@tobycutler80]

[@princessmarlena1359]

You made excellent points in all of this. A friend of mine is a cousin of someone famous, and what she has told me about the things her cousin endured are on par to how you described fame and fandom.

[@theotherther1]

The Fizz-centric episodes bring home that he's a lot more vulnerable and traumatized than he looked in his first appearance. He doesn't like going outside because people stare and demand things from him, and he likes being close to Ozzie both for the dick and for the genuine love and support that he gives him. Mammon just stares, demands, and threatens if his demands are not fulfilled.

[@drow_Lilith9940]

i feel without ozz i dont think Fizz would cracked but just broken down until one year he lost the contest and well i dont feel without ozzi fizz would stay alive after frame went away

[@manuelalopez9638]

Well I'm 69% sure that while Fizz can tell Blitz about how bad things were with Mammon like maybe when a group of kids' soccer ball had hit his limousine when they stopped to buy him some lunch on the road to someplace important and he ordered his butler to take their ball away, but Fizz wouldn't let them go into misery by giving them some bags of balloons but as punishment he got to come back to Oz beaten up.

This episode was fantastic! Season two has seen a dip in quality since its premier. However, this episode was amazing! It's what the series needed and I love the commentary. My friend and I who are fans of the show discuss how it mirrors the struggles of real celebrities.

[@SweetOrangeGirl]

Apparently, “Creepzo” has an actual name: Arick “Burnie” Burnz. Not that it matters since I think the nickname you gave him is fitting. But yeah, it seems to me, the price of fame in Hell is not worth it. Especially with fans like that…

[@Xeorboom]

his name is canonically Arick "Burnie" Burnz AKA "Creepzo" according to the credits

[@SweetOrangeGirl]

@@Xeorboom Oh whoops. My bad ^^;.

[@telapowers9611]

I feel like the plot is all coming together as a complete hell re-do. This is my theory and its a long one so buckle up: I think unintentionally Fizz and Blitzo uncover how Lucifer doesnt have hell under his thumb anymore due to Mammon and Lucifers lack of control over the overlords and royals. Hence the greed ring being a wasteland. I feel like another plot point will be leading to Lucifer using these events to put Mammon back in his place, or replace him altogether with Charlie. Or, the issue of Mammons abuse and greed being brought up to him through Blitzos actions. And I think maybe Stella and her brother end up on Mammons side thinking that they can get the upper hand there. I also believe charlie creates a "path" so to speak to heaven. To allow sinners entry but also i think gods overall plan in punishing Lucifer was making lucifer feel the pressure of running an entire world and teach him the consequences of people being untrustworthy or disobedient. Not necessarily to "punish sinners" by sending them to hell, but punish Lucifer by sending them there. And ultimately lucifer is learning that gods ability to keep people in line is far better than his, and that lucifer needs to trust gods plan. I hope this is a story of Lucifer and God rekindling a friendship and/or creating peace in both heaven and hell. I do not believe heaven is any better off right now but with a power balance between god and Lucifer there will be more control and peace.

[@bothnia]

It's quite cool how Mammon (as a word) exists in different languages. In Finnish the word mammona means obscene riches/fortune.

[@IronDragon-2143]

I wonder if this is why Verosika is such a bad alcoholic

[@goddessbettyd5614]

We should probably find out in the next episode, but for now, I think Mammon is a selfish, greedy bastard.

[@lucifernovak]

One thing I've noticed wuth fizz is at the end of the mamon ep when mammon goes full demon mode fizz stand there proudly and doesnt even flinch when ozzie suddenly appears behind him. Its like he trusted ozzie enough that he knew he'd appear like that.

[@Fanny_World-rt3gf]

I guess fame in hell is sorta like fame in real life. Some people enjoy it and benefit from it while others have to go through the more horrible side of it. I glad though that Fizz was able to meet Ozzie because of it but he still did suffer because of it.

[@BlackMysteries1]

the episode portrays the business perfectly. greed is the impersonation of the entertainment industry. there are always background people in the industry who want their „fair“ financial cut of the fame. managing to monetize the star as far as possible. merch, performances, meet n greets etc.

[@joeschmo8602]

I feel like there was aspects of the fame the fizz enjoyed, such as inspiring fans like the deaf kid.

[@lerneanlion]

At least Fizzarolli made it out alive, unlike the certain purple-haired former idol. And now, we can only hoped that Fizzarolli is as mentally strong as the certain mangaka because he needed to dedicate his heart to this new issue about his relationship with Asmodeus is now being made public.

[@Haz-009]

I love the way Fizz's story was told. It showed the pressure performers face as well as the overbearing fans they have to deal with almost on a daily. I love that they showed that not even the seven sins are safe from certain consequences. I curious to see what Mammon meant by "Your going to regret letting that little secret out."

[@magic_town10-vy8bw]

Making is such a toxic boss and fizz is just trying not to lose his lover, meanwhile mamon is pushing fizz to his limits making him back down and almost pass out in front of his fans.

[@cloudphoenix241]

My personal favourite thing about Fizz was realising the reason he got the permanent clown nose is because he was wearing one protecting that part of his face from most of the blow

[@Matthew_and_Ami]

So I’m curious as to the imps, body structure, so to speak. We saw in the recent episode that his horns were still damaged despite having it been 15+ years. So why leave them in that broken state and not just try to clean them up?

[@looseintherear]

I thought the entire idea of this episode was kinda crazy, I get the feeling they’re not only building up the antagonist group of the show but also a group of protagonist allies. Where this is gonna be an internal battle between greed and lust of not the two princes imo. But on top I like the direction the whole show has been moving in lately

[@shampooh8r]

Maybe Fizz can have a change in career. Ozzie can give him Ozzie's as the new owner so that Ozzie can concentrate on his other duties. Or Fizz can be a manager in one of Ozzie's $ex toy factories. Or maybe Fizz can open his own clown school.

I like the magical girl heart show. But I gotta say it’s not easy in the world full of crooks it’s like they say. “Living in a world where everyone is looking bring others down to hell with them.” I’ve wondered sometimes if I was ever famous could I genuinely have friends or people who are there for me and not some act or, is it a one way ticket deal?

[@alexandralite835]

It's so typical for someone to start bad mouthing you once you reject them. Guys do it to women a good bit where a girl is suddenly a s**t when she doesn't want to do anything with a guy. I've had personal experience when I first lost weight, a few guys at school started bad mouthing me when it was obvious I didn't want to be friends or sleep with one of their friends after the years of bullying they had put me through. Thing is the girls were the same, I was a s**t for losing weight and feeling good about myself.
