Satan is the main antagonist of Adult Swim's animated surreal comedy series Smiling Friends.
He is the master of Hell who has fallen on hard times, but thanks to Charlie, he regains his motives in torturing souls.
He is voiced by series' co-creator Zach Hadel, who also voices DJ Spit, Jason, Mip, Gnarly, Mr. Peanut, and Mr. Landlord in the same series.
Appearance[]
He is a monstrous, demonic humanoid figure with a muscular, crimson-skinned body, prominent veins, and a grotesque skull-like face. He has large, curved black horns protruding from his head, and long, pointed ears. He has a pair of massive bat-like wings folded behind his back, and he wears black pants.
Personality[]
Satan seems like a casual and laid-back individual at first, but his inability to take criticism can quickly reveal his appropriate true nature as a short-tempered sadist who revels in the pain of others.
Being tired of his tedious, eternal job as the ruler of Hell, he becomes somewhat depressed and spends his days playing video games and ordering fast food, causing Hell to literally freeze over due to his mellow and unmotivated state.
Even in his more relaxed, melancholy mood, Satan is capable of being pretty sarcastic or irritable such as when he replies to the deliveryman's "Happy holidays" with a passive aggressive "Merry Christmas", implying he could be annoyed by modern political correctness. He also becomes irrationally upset at a missing straw and at minor suggestions for self-improvement.
Along with hobbies such as vaping and gaming, which are more befitting of a teenager than an eternal tyrant, Satan shows himself to be very childish when he doesn't keep his end of the deal with Charlie and decides to torture him for all eternity for simply giving him some constructive criticism.
History[]
When Charlie Dompler is killed by a falling tree, he is sent to Hell, where he is informed by the Plump Demon that Hell has frozen over because Satan has been "down in the dumps" and poorly managing the underworld. Charlie figures he can help the devil because of his job as a Smiling Friend. He eventually reaches Satan's fortress in the bottom circle of Hell and Satan, while playing Rust and using Discord on his PC, complains about piling emails, paperwork and the lack of payment for his job. Charlie makes a deal with the Devil to bring him back to life if he can be made to smile. Satan invites a delivery of food in, but complains that they forgot the straw. Charlie lays out Satan's unhealthy habits when he starts vaping, which enrages the lord of Hell and he summons demons to torture Charlie. Satan oversees Charlie's torment and laughs with sadistic joy. Charlie points out that Lucifer's enjoyment of his suffering made him smile, and thus the bargain is technically fulfilled. However, Satan refuses to let him leave because he was angered and declares that he will torture Charlie forever. Suddenly, God bursts through the roof and flies off with Charlie, causing Satan to lament being foiled again as Hell returns to its fiery state.
In the season 2 episode Erm, The Boss Finds Love?, he sends his daughter to marry Mr. Boss so he could take over Smiling Friends after she drains his life. He fails when his daughter commits suicide and, due to the marriage contract, Mr. Boss now owns 1/4th of hell. He is seen after the end credits arguing with Mr. Boss over property.
