The God & Devil Show is an American adult animated web series that had a successful run from 1999^[1]^[2]^[3] to 2001. The show was produced and developed by Mondo Media and was created by Aubrey Ankrum,^[4] who went on to create Happy Tree Friends.^[5]

Overview

The God & Devil Show parodies many talk shows that feature celebrity interviews. The show features God as an old man with many flaws and misunderstanding of the modern world, and the devil as a promiscuous woman who enjoys the misfortune of the other characters. All the episodes feature an interview with a celebrity that usually goes wrong at some point, leading to further misfortune.^[1] At the end of every episode, the viewer is able to choose if they want to send the celebrity to Heaven or Hell by clicking the button of "God" or "The Devil". In Heaven, the celebrity would get something good and would end the episode by saying this is heaven. In Hell, the celebrity would get something bad and will end the episode by screaming Nooooooooooooooo!".^[6]

Crew

Most of the show's staff worked on other Mondo Media shows at the time and most of them went on to work on the popular show Happy Tree Friends.
