Show recommendation: ‘Helluva Boss’

Leave a comment

‘Helluva Boss’ is a comedy series on YouTube made by the artist, animator and YouTube creator VivziePop. The first episode aired on October 31st, 2020, and the most recent episode aired October 29th, 2023. There are currently 2 seasons.

The show follows the main characters Blitzo (Brandon Rodgers), Moxie (Richard Horvitz), Luna & Millie (Erica Lindbeck), as well as side character Stolas (Bryce Pinkham). Throughout the show they encounter problems and enemies as Blitzo (the O is silent btw) owns an assassin business where he and his partners get paid to assassinate people in the human world.

This series is rated M for mature audiences and could also maybe be considered rated R. It contains a lot of violence, gore, and profanity as well as suggestive language and sexual content. On every episode Viv starts with a warning for what the episode contains so you can be wary of the content you’re gonna see.

I’ve been watching ‘Helluva Boss’ since the release of its first episode, and even as a 11/12 year old I absolutely loved it. I’ve been so obsessed with it since it came out and a good lot of my friends are too. I had actually been a fan of Viv before she even announced ‘Helluva Boss’ and I watched her animations, including her other original series ‘Hazbin Hotel’, which even though it’s good, I still love ‘Helluva Boss’ more.

Every time I see a new episode drop it’s like an early birthday present as I really do enjoy watching it. It’s also a show extremely worthy of rewatching dozens of times.

The characters in it are so unique and all of them are voiced by very talented actors and singers like Kesha (Beelzebub) and Fizzarolli (Alex Brightman). I was actually surprised hearing Fizzarolli’s voice for the first time because I thought it sounded exactly like Beetlejuice from the original Broadway musical and it turned out it was Alex who did actually play the original Beetlejuice on Broadway.

I love that Viv is able to get all these amazing artists to be in her own show and that she’s getting more recognition for it.

‘Helluva Boss’ is one of my favorite shows literally ever and although it is pretty popular with each episode gaining over a million views in less than a day sometimes, I do feel like it should get more recognition and views because Viv works so hard on it and it’s such a good show. That’s why I want to recommend it.

Her other show ‘Hazbin Hotel’ has actually gotten so popular that it will soon be streaming on Prime Video and I really hope this means that ‘Helluva Boss’ will get to stream on more sites so more people can watch it too.

I hope more people watch ‘Helluva Boss’ and give it more popularity. I would love to be able to talk about it to more people, and I would just love it if more people knew about Viv and her amazing art.

I hope you watch it!

Why soccer is better than American football

Both soccer and American football are great sports but I think soccer is better. I think American football has more complicated rules; in soccer there’s many rules but they are easy to understand. In football the game stops a lot because of the downs and time outs during the games. Soccer also stops for free kicks, penalty’s, and fouls but they aren’t as frequent and don’t take as long to do compared to American football.

There’s nothing much you need to know about soccer to play or watch as it’s a very simple game. All you need is a ball and a few friends; you can play anywhere and anytime. There’s no complicated rules or special equipment you need.

In American football it is played in four 15 minute halves which I think is just a waste of time and should be played in longer halves like in soccer. In soccer, one game is 90 minutes (1 hour and a half) where it’s separated into two 45 minute halves. Some of the wasted time from fouls, free kicks and penalty decisions are added to the end of the halves.

Nothing is too predictable in a soccer match as one tiny mistake from either team could really change the flow of the game. There’s no breaks or timeouts which makes it a fast paced game that keeps the excitement high when both watching and playing.

A big difference between American football and soccer is the amount of people watching the sport. American football has around 390-410 million fans worldwide while soccer has around 3.5 billion worldwide, making it one of the most watched sports in the world.

An event in soccer that really shows what it is about is the World Cup. It’s where players from all over the world play for their countries’ international teams. and battle it out on the field to determine the world champion. This sport is not just about the great goals and skills performed by the players but about bringing many people together as it is loved by billions of people.

It always brings joy whether you’re playing or watching this sport. They are both really enjoyable and great to watch but I prefer the fast skillful and continuous gameplay of soccer. These are some of the many reasons why I think soccer is a better sport than American football.
