Man a lot of people seem to think he was just selfish. Honesty, I appreciate the consensus, but I do think there’s another way of looking at it. I believe that it’s more so a symbolic song, Charlie lived his life “ignoring all the little things that were hard to ask” I see that as him avoiding his own mental problems, determined on being a good person. He ran from his inner demons, refusing to confront himself. At the end it states, I think, “You can run from your demons until you are exhausted, but one day you have to stop and wonder what they wanted.” He was obsessed with running from his demons, when he should have confronted them to be a better person but yeah that’s my thoughts

[@thenyan3095]

Honestly, a better interpretation on the song in my opinion, I mean… going to hell because you’re too fussed on going into heaven? You’re telling me being a little arrogant means you deserve to suffer with literal muderers in the afterlife? He would of gone to purgatory at least

Yeah, but its kind of literally the point of the Light, you're encouraged to run into it, in Christianity, when dying your are literally told to choose heaven over returning to the living if given the choice. You see, my big problem with this song is that at no point does he commit sin. Which is a requirement to end up in hell. Now we can assume he has sinned as all humans do, but his sins are never significant enough for mention, and he repents every Sunday for forgiveness which is exactly what the scripture asks you to do. The scripture never asks you to avoid sin with perfect gusto just because you feel like being a good person, the scripture literally threatens the punishment of eternal damnation so that those who follow the faith won't deviate into more "tempting" and sinful behaviors.

I think I finally understand this song. So, we all know that Charlie did all of these wonderful and good things to be liked by many, and loved and mourned by his wife at his passing. But again, something didn't sit right with me: why *did* Charlie go to Hell? Why wasn't he rewarded for his good deeds? And that's when something hit me: The preacher lists off all of these great things that Charlie did in his life; keeping his showers cold, doing the pledge, and buying his wife card and roses every now and then. But really, that's all it is: A LIST. A list of good things Charlie has done to make his seem *worthy* of going into heaven. That's why Charlie is so distraught and confused when he's rejected into Heaven, even pleading with the Angels that he goes to church more than *once* on Sundays. And to add onto that, he seem so enthusiastic to get into heaven, not even feeling sad or mournful that he left his wife and his friends when he died. He was READY and EAGER to get into paradise. The line in the song that really made this click was: "Those tempted by their senses by the cruelest of intentions." Charlie didn't do those good things because he was a good person. He did them to secure himself a place in everlasting life and bliss. But, of course, it doesn't turn out that way. The Angels see right through him, seeing that there was no sincerity in his actions, not matter how much he tries to convince them, and himself, that there was. And so, he's sent to hell to be trapped in a jar; a confined restricting existence, being devoid of the very things he sought to gain once he died. Honestly, I'm sure that there are people who have thought of different theories than I have for this song, but to me this one just seems to make the most sense.

Very different things. He didn't give his wife roses because he loved her, but so he could say he was a loving husband. He didn't go to church to actually worship the lord and help the community, but to say he went to church. Everything he did was superficial and had no true motive behind it outside of "I don't want to go to hell"

In my understanding of this song, Charlie was so focused on living up to the standards of a “good person” that he never actually took time to be a good person. Everything he did, even getting his wife cards and going to church, was all just so he could get into heaven. Heck, he was so excited to go to heaven he never actually considered the people who would miss him. He never gave out of the kindness of his heart, but out of his willingness to get to heaven. You could describe this as Fraud or Greed, but that’s not the point. All in all just be a good person, regardless of if God is watching or not.

[@TUGGgaming]

Im pretty sure the hidden lyrics of charlie saying "i dont want to dieee" and "please dont let me dieee" were because he realized he was going to hell and started begging to not die, hoping he could regain conciousness on earth and try to fix the bad things he had done and genuinely try to be good to be able to go to heaven.

Charlie's punishment is interesting to me. The song never actually mentions what his punishment is but this video puts him in a jar. This song, "charlie's inferno" is a reference to dante's inferno. In dante's inferno there is only one layer that has a similar punishment to what charlie gets. Left alone, trapped in a cold dark place by yourself, a place so deep in hell that there is no light. That's the ninth level of hell. The deepest level of hell for the worst sinners, the traitors. It's interesting to think that charlie was a traitor enough to warrent eternal damnation.

[@spicy1615]

I always interpreted it as him going to purgatory. He didn't do anything horrible in his life, but he never did anything great for others. He wasn't kind or altruistic, just nonconfrontational. He avoided anything that could've been a problem instead of facing them head on. So he's left to continually wonder why he was rejected from heaven. And by the end, he still doesn't see himself to blame, he thinks someone must've made a mistake, he isn't stopping to question what those angels wanted.

Well, honestly, even so, for people to still care for him, he had to be good to them. I mean, why would you attend the death bed of the guy you hate? Why would you even bother? My point of view is that the thing that Charlie did to get him stuck in eternal torture was _Freedom._ He *could* do those things out of his own heart, but he only did the bare minimun. He never truly challenged himself to become a better person. He kept escaping the demons and ran to the angels for so long, that he ignored the people who he *_could_* help, and instead continued to be a jackass to everyone he saw no need to help. There is no problem in wanting heaven, but Charlie took it too much into the extreme, to the point his whole _life_ was based around it. Wanting to become the perfect person for eternal rest, he ended up becoming the perfect soul to be eternaly tortured. But that's just a theory. *_A CHARLIE THEORY!_*

[@r.nicogorodetzky3084]

Interesting interpretation on the animator's part! From a Jewish perspective, it only matters that you did a good deed. It doesn't matter if you get a reward or not. If you're a "psychopath" (the word for the real disorder is "asocial" I believe) and you struggle with empathy because of it, but know logically that you don't want to hurt anyone because it would have consequences for you, EVEN if that's the ONLY REASON, you've still done a good deed when you stop and don't chose to say the mean thing when you're angry, or don't put the cat out in the rain, etc. There's a story of a man who went to the Rabbi and said he'd like to open up an orphanage. The next week, he went back to the Rabbi and said he had changed his mind and would not do it. When the astonished Rabbi asked why, the man said, "I realized while praying that I only wanted to do it for myself and my reputation. It was all for selfish reasons." The rabbi replied, "Will the orphans care if you are selfish?" A good deed is a good deed. Don't second guess yourself, and don't let others do it to you either. Just do what you can, even if that good deed for today is just being alive and giving yourself a little break.

[@ChangedMyNameFinally69]

Nah, someone like that will abandon the pretext of being good the moment it's beneficial to. I hate that argument, let's stop defending selfishness. Celebrities donate to charity for tax breaks, that's still an evil act. People like that will also never make any good decisions that hurt them too much or sacrifice themselves for others. They'll never do what's actually needed to better the world.

[@RockySamson]

⁠@@ChangedMyNameFinally69I like the idea that donating an incredibly large sum of money to people who desperately need it doesn’t actually better the world because it may feed one person’s ego. It’s interesting that you side against the orphans in this example, preferring they earnestly suffer rather than prosper from someone else’s supposed selfishness. On that note, I feel there’s a very interesting key difference between the man in the story and Charlie: integrity. The man in the story recognized his own selfishness, and the Rabbi noted that despite his supposed intentions there would still be a great benefit to those in need. The fact that the man acknowledged where he was coming from yet may still build the orphanage at the Rabbi’s behest genuinely makes it a good deed because at that point his actions became a choice, not an assumption. Charlie would’ve built the orphanage in denial of his selfish motivations, and while the orphans would still have benefited, Charlie’s denial of his nature is ultimately what he’s punished for. The man in the story recognizes his own shortcomings, which is how we often begin to resolve them within ourselves, by acknowledging them in the first place. Charlie was in constant denial of who he really was, so he never truly faced his demons until it was too late.

A person in the comments by the tag of Hey Chummer (I think) stated the reason why Charlie went to hell. But I want to focus on his fate. He was sent to hell for never owning up to his problems, shifting blame onto others, and possibly trying to go to heaven for all his good deeds rather then out of the kindness of his own heart. Throughout the song he constantly tries to reason with the angels and devils on how this shouldn’t be happening. During the bridge for the “Hell” section of the song, a key lyric is stated as so “-I know you've heard the tune before”. Meaning he’s almost sure that this excuse was used before hand. And most likely it was, based on how many jars surrounded Charlie at the end. And that’s just it, the Devil is a cruel and twisted soul and what better way to get a kick then to listen to the endless pleas of the Liars and Cheats of the world. All in the safety of a jar. Notice how at the end, all the people who share Charlie’s fate never look around, instead they all do the same of pleading with the Devil. It’s because they can’t accept what happened to them. “I’m a good person! They were wrong!”, lies such as that will spew from their mouth constantly because no matter who they were, they can’t confront that their deeds are as hollow as souless as the demons within hell.

I enjoy also that he "chased after angels (without questioning what they wanted)" e.g. he was following the manual of what he was supposed to do to "be good" to get into heaven without actually questioning what being good meant

[@Banditmax20]

Remember kids, things like going to church, giving family cards, or saying hi don’t make you good person. You need to reach out to those who need the help and make it right. Be good by helping the homeless, adopting a poor animal and giving it the love it deserves, live the life that you deserve and make it a full life. Don’t be greedy, prideful, selfish, or just a lazy person when you can do some real good.

I have a theory that the checklists were swapped. If you look at how they look, Heaven’s is worn out while hell’s is clean and with Charlie’s name. Though in the song, its more about how Charlie wasn’t actually good, he just looked good on the outside.

[@novocaineeyes5432]

[@shaddysehly5040]

theory one: the devil swapped the checklists knowing charlies true intentions theory two: heaven checklist is worn out because they don't have to make then often, due to completely pure people being rare, and hells is clean because ithey have to replace it constantly due to the large amount of sinners

Something that nobody’s mentioned is when confronted by the chance of eternal damnation of all the things he could have said he says “ excuse me sir there must be someone you’ve confused me for” he doesn’t try to plead forgiveness or even take any blame he immediately assumes *literal angels* made a mistake and that the eternal punishment is for someone else. Charlie doesn’t even consider the fact he’s saying this punishment is someone else’s problem because he’s such a good person.

I have been perusing the comments and noticed you said it took years to get the finished product and I for one can really appreciate and admire that level of commitment.

Drama queen

[@TheAdvertisement]

Whenever I listen to this song I think of the line "If I could see someone who knew me" and how I wonder what they would say. Would they say he was a saint? Would they say he deserved it? Or would they say something different? Would they even care? I almost wonder if it's like Emmet in the LEGO Movie. When you have a guy that lives to be a perfect saint and yet lives only for himself and his own death, is that really a man who you'd remember? Is that really living? He left behind nothing, and he left it eagerly. You can only tell where his grave is by the name on the stone.

[@changaming1275]

just the fact the song ends with it trailing off over and over. Like charlie is forever begging. FOR EVER. it's scary when you sit and really think about it, like I would HATE to have that fate...

[@SleepRedeem]

I love how when Charlie says to the angel “I think there’s someone you confused me for” and the angel shakes his head looking at him like “I don’t think anyone gotta a nose like that besides you”

[@ruff_crane]

This is simply amazing. You captivate the essence of the song in the most simplest way that plays exactly as the song goes.

[@dransnake]

Honestly I keep thinking about this song in such a religious perspective. In the Bible it mentions multiple times that those who exalt themselves will be cast out, and I have a feeling that's exactly what Charlie did. While he did all the things he was "supposed" to do to be a good person, he avoided all the little things that were hard to ask. Maybe he only did things for his own sake, and considering how excited he was to get to the pearly gates I wouldn't be surprised if I was right. Like he didn't even spare a thought for how his loved ones felt on the golden escalator, he just thought they looked like ants from how high he was going. And then he was rejected from Heaven. And he couldn't understand why. But instead of asking why, he just assumed that he was being confused for someone else and that surely he belonged in Heaven. My guy didn't humble himself in his last moments rip

Im reading all these interpretations and what i found funny is that no one has considered that people (despite the new testament) there are christians out there with mixed opinions on if anyone can ever go to hell or how strict God is when it comes to choosing what is right from wrong. In the end i think Charlies inferno is satirical of christians that don't agree with what get you to heaven or hell and because of that, nobody knows the truth

Bro really said “you had a nice life, you should have lived it”

[@OmeletteOwl]

While everyone is talking about the literal meaning of the song, I want to expand on the mental health theory (someone probably did already but I’m not reading all comments). That’s def not the true meaning of the song yet it’s still an interesting take So, the song starts with Charlie living a happy life, however the fact that he’s afraid of sharks and small things shows he’s just running from his problems in life and gaslights himself into thinking he’s “all fine”. Him “dying” isn’t actually what happened but rather that he died as a person to his relatives (as they were praying for him on his deathbed) and he didn’t care much about the fact since he still thinks he’s doing good, as he was just excited to see “the man upstairs”. When he got rejected from “heaven”, he started to hit the realization his problems are conjuring him, and the only solution he could find was continue running from them, as he always did. He’s in denial throughout the whole song. After he arrives in “hell”, he sees other people being tortured, as “hell” is a place where all depressed and mentally ill people go (the song never describes any “normal” people aside from Charlie being tortured, but rather overweight people and prostitues - people that aren’t happy about their lives at all), as it literally says “abandon your hope”. He falls into a pit of his own inner demons that he continues to run from, yet they get him every time. He continues being in denial. The “run from your demons until you get exhausted” line represents how running only makes him ever more tired that he already is, yet he continues. The song ends on a fade in the middle of the chorus, representing that he’ll never stop running from his problems, thinking “I’m not the man that deserves to be in hell (I’m not the man that deserves to have depression, anxiety etc), I always did and am doing good”. (sorry for my goofy aah English, it’s my second language)

[@aMogusUs34]

The part where Charlie says "I went to church every Sunday, surely more" I shook my head. Nobody can enter heaven without knowing Jesus Christ and accepting him as our Lord as savior. He was so caught up in his "good" deeds, not actually having them come from the heart, just wanting glory in heaven

[@goldencow5556]

@dstarburning5822 okay wow youre totally going off on a different track there. the difference is that charlie didnt murder 1000 children because he thought they were demons. i didnt say it was purely intent, my point was that his attempts to be a good person were successful. he was a good person, and he still got rejected because he did it solely to get into heaven. im not justifying his reasons or why he did it just to look good in the eyes of his lord, im saying that it just still feels unfair, because at the end of the day he WAS the good person he was trying to be; whether for his own gain or not, he still did good.

i cant stop watching this

[@ducky774]

One detail that I missed a good bit of times from watching this video is that during the extension cords verse, right near the end of the scene the hanging women stop shaking their heads and droop down from loss of consciousness. Charlie also appears in every photo in the beginning and there are none of just his wife, hinting at him being egocentric without being obvious and ruining the mysterious factor of the song. Also, the shark in the video is one of the few things in this video that are 2D only alongside the rising gas price board, which can be interpreted as those things being “paper-thin” excuses for Charlie to not push himself into situations where he can actually live (ex. Charlie can ride his bike to work every day if he wanted, but only does so when gas prices are up). That last one might be a big stretch, though. Love this video and song alike, so glad I heard it from a video that turned it into a 2009 Roblox song lol
