Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell is an American live-action television series on Adult Swim, Cartoon Network's late nightprogramming block. The series made its official debut on April 18, 2013, on Adult Swim. The show is a live-action workplace comedy about Gary, an associate demon, as he attempts to capture souls on earth in order to climb the corporate ladder of the underworld. Gary hopes to advance in Hell, but he may be too stupid, lazy and kind-hearted to realize his dreams of promotion. The show was renewed for a fourth season, which began production on June 5, 2017. The fourth season premiered on May 3, 2019. On July 13, 2020, co-creator Dave Willis announced that a one-off extended finale special was in the works, with the possibility of internet-exclusive shorts in the future. The show is titled after a song from the 1973 album Raw Power by the Stooges.
Characters
Gary Bunda – a bumbling employee in Hell whose schemes to recruit humans to Hell often fail.
Claude Vernon – Gary's younger and more-respected intern who often shows him up at work. The character was not seen after season two, though no mention is made of what became of him. However, he returned in the second half of season three, starting with the episode "Golden Fiddle Week".
"Satan", a.k.a. *Darren Farley – Gary's boss who presents himself as THE Satan who rules all of Hell in seasons 1 & 2. But season three revealed that he is Darren Farley, who rose up the demon ranks to middle management and runs the eleventh circle of Hell, for "Miscellaneous" sins.
Lucas – Gary's former roommate who is still alive. He appears annoyed when Gary returns to earth to recruit him.
Benji – one of Gary's co-workers in Hell. He is usually in charge of making the orientation and 'how to' videos of Hell. Formerly a TV weatherman in Charlotte, he was arrested by the FBI for raping, killing and eating 143 children. Despite his cheery and rather friendly personality, he is a rapist, a murderer, a cannibal, and a child molester.
Troy Ersatz – Gary's co-worker in Hell who replaced Claude for most of season three, different from Snyder's other character Lucas. Unlike Claude, Troy tends to end up suffering alongside Gary when their various schemes backfire and was once temporarily demoted to "tortured soul" status.
Eddie – a tortured soul. He is often seen as the victim of various acts of sadism brought on by the demons or Satan himself. He gets briefly promoted to demon status when Troy is demoted, in season three, but Eddie was traumatized by the horrors inflicted upon him by the other demons and having a heart of gold, he failed to live up to the job. He still won out over Troy and earned his place as a real demon, but was demoted following a behind the scenes "real life" scene depicting Eddie Pepitone's refusal to go through the make-up procedures.
With season three, the character "Claude" was written out of the series as actor Craig Rowin left the series. Dana Snyder, who played Gary's best friend Lucas in seasons 1–2, was made series regular to replace Rowin. However, rather than continuing in the role of Lucas, Snyder was cast in a new role as "Troy", a new demon coworker for Gary.
