Satan is my Superhero
LAUGH YOUR WAY TO HELL!
Satan Is My Superhero is a fast-paced, satirical comedy podcast that drags religion, conspiracy theories, and moral panic straight to Hell.
Join sarcastic Aussie/Kiwi hosts Judas and Lexi, two atheists with punk rock souls, as they serve up a blasphemous mix of sharp biblical breakdowns, myth-busting satire, original music, and tightly written sketch comedy.
Each episode is a deep dive into the absurdities of satanic panic, prosperity gospel grifters, biblical lore, occult history, and supernatural nonsense. Expect biting televangelist parodies, studio-recorded comedy sketches, and a killer soundtrack from comedy punk band The Genuine Hoots of Joy.
This isn't your average comedy podcast. It's for the misfits, the weirdos, the godless, and the damned. Perfect for ex-Christians, lore nerds, and anyone who finds organised religion funnier than it has any right to be.

Is there such a thing as too much Satan in a video game? From the demon-slaying chaos of Devil May Cry, to the time EA faked a Christian protest and sent reviewers Rick-rolling “bombs,” we’re diving into gaming’s unholy obsession with Hell.
This week, Judas and Lexi unpack why developers keep turning the afterlife into a boss fight — including how a bored Resident Evil 4 development team accidentally created the Devil May Cry franchise, why EA relied on fake outrage to sell Dante’s Inferno, and the deeply normal world of Shin Megami Tensei, where God and Lucifer basically run competing apocalypse cults. We also uncover The Turtle Truth: why Bowser is technically a Japanese “Great Demon King” and what that means for your childhood.

In this episode we ask the question, when is too much Satan, ever going to be enough Satan for video game developers?
[SFX: Cacophony of voices chanting “Satan, Satan, Satan”]
DEVELOPER: Enough! Okay, I’ll put you in my game.
DEVIL: See? That wasn’t so hard.
DEVELOPER: Can I have my soul back now?
DEVIL: Oh… hmm. How about a Porsche instead?
DEVELOPER: sigh Okay.
The world of video games doesn’t get much more satanic than Devil May Cry.
SATAN: I’m not crying! I have something in my eye, that’s all.
The game follows demon hunter Dante, defending Earth from a demon invasion.
[SFX: Demon battle fades in]
NURSE: Dante! Dante! It’s time for your medication.
DANTE: But I’m protecting the world from demons!
NURSE: Everyone here thinks that, dear.
MARGE: I’m not fighting demons. I’m fighting an evil cabal of Jewish space lizards.
NURSE: God damn it, Marge!
MARGE: Sorry… ethnically undefined space lizards.
NURSE: That’s better. Now swallow this pill.
[SFX: gulp]
DEMON NURSE: Very good, Dante.
DANTE: What was that?
NURSE: Nothing…
Obviously Dante is named after Dante’s Divine Comedy.
Dante and his twin brother Vergil are sons of a demon called Sparda.
[SFX: sword slice]
KING ARTHUR: Now stand aside, worthy adversary!
BLACK KNIGHT: ’Tis but a scratch!
KING ARTHUR: Your arm’s off!
BLACK KNIGHT: I’ve had worse.
Sparda defeated Mundus, ruler of the demon world, and sealed the portal to Earth.
MUNDUS: Whatever you do, DO NOT OPEN THIS DEMON PORTAL. Vergil?
VERGIL: Yeah.
MUNDUS: What did I say?
VERGIL: Don’t open the demon portal. Jeez.
JUDE: I think we all know what happens next.
[SFX: Hellscape]
DANTE: Dad! Vergil opened the demon portal!
Devil May Cry was developed by Capcom’s “Team Little Devils.”
EXEC: What’s behind that door?
KAMIYA: Team Little Devils.
EXEC: Cute name!
KAMIYA: They bite.
EXEC: Metaphorically?
KAMIYA: No. HR nightmare.
Originally, they were making Resident Evil 4… until they got bored and made something else.
EXEC: How’s Resident Evil 4 going?
KAMIYA: We got bored.
EXEC: You WHAT?
KAMIYA: Should’ve hired Team Little Angels.
EXEC: They exist?
KAMIYA: No, bacon pants.
EXEC: Why are you calling me—oh god, eye contact—
[SFX: chaos, screaming]
The game was released in 2000 and became a massive success.
CEO: Should we bring them back for the sequel?
EXEC: I LOST A LEG.
The original game featured a “Devil Trigger” mechanic.
JUDE: I think my mum had that trigger.
ANGRY MUM: Who spilt milk on the carpet?!
[SFX: beating]
Later games introduced Nero and his Devil Bringer.
ENEMY: What are you gonna do from over there?
[SFX: warp]
ENEMY: …he’s right behind me, isn’t he?
In Devil May Cry 5, Nero uses swappable “Devil Breaker” arms.
LAZY MAN: Pass the salt?
NERO: I got this!
[SFX: rocket explosion]
LAZY MAN: Nero!
NERO: Wrong arm.
It’s even been turned into a stage play.
HAMLET: To devil or not to devil…
And yes — a musical.
CATS: Midnight… not a scream from the hellscape…
But Devil May Cry isn’t the only one.
The 2018 game Agony drops you into Hell after a deal with the devil.
RUBE: I was promised Disneyland!
DEMON: A chance to win a trip.
Naturally, the protagonist releases a monster and triggers Armageddon.
MUM: Derek! Are you touching the beast’s shackles?
DEREK: No!
MUM: We can’t afford another Armageddon!
DEREK: I’m not an idiot!
DEREK: …Mum?
MUM: What?
DEREK: Beast got out.
JUDE: Different characters. Totally different joke.
Then there’s Dante’s Inferno.
DANTE: Oh footlong chicken sub, there you are!
In the lead-up to release, EA faked Christian outrage as a marketing stunt.
JUDE: They couldn’t rely on Christians knowing what Dante’s Inferno was.
They even offered dates with models to promote lust.
GAMER: How did you get into modelling?
MODEL: You do not speak.
They also sent reviewers boxes that played Rick Astley until smashed with a hammer.
[SFX: smashing, screaming]
SATAN: I do wish Rick wouldn’t make people so angry.
Another example is Shin Megami Tensei — where God and Lucifer compete post-apocalypse.
CHRISTIAN: I’m here to join the Lucifer cult.
SATANIST: Two doors down. That’s the YHWH cult.
The game features everything: angels, demons, floods, cults — and multiple endings.
ALPHA: I go my own way.
SARKY: They kicked you out, didn’t they?
ALPHA: Maybe.
In Afterparty, you escape Hell by out-drinking Satan.
JUDE: Here’s how that ends.
[SFX: vomiting]
In Diablo, humanity is stuck between Heaven and Hell.
HUMAN: What’s going on?
ANGEL: Eternal war.
HUMAN: Keep it down, I’ve got work tomorrow.
You eventually face the Lord of Terror.
GAMER: I’m gonna X your Twitter like Elon!
TERROR: Who the fuck is Elon?
In 2013, Diablo was ranked the 44th best video game villain.
Number one? Bowser.
DIABLO: The turtle?!
DANTE: He breathes fire.
DIABLO: It’s still a turtle.
In Japan, Bowser is called the Great Demon King.
JUDE: Maybe all turtles in Japan are demons.
DEMON TURTLE: Cowabunga, dude!
LEXI: If Japanese demon turtles get your modem running… just join the Patreon.
DEMON: Patreon.com/satanismysuperhero
LEXI: Bonus episodes, music, chaos — who knows what’s in there?
JUDE: What have we learned?
All turtles in Japan are demons.
And that’s why Satan is my superhero.
