This song has no business being THIS catchy. But i love how angel went from thinking husk was mocking him to understanding and knowing that husk is in the same position as him.
I love how this song seems like Showing understanding of other's feelings Insulting Sharing common ground/Empathy Insulting Making the song about oneself Getting other to open up Sharing common ground/ Empathy Encouragement Sharing common ground/ Empathy / Encouragement
I love how Husker is probably the only one who could reach Angel, because his approach isn't "you're a good person and you just don't know it yet". His approach is just admitting "yeah, you're at the bottom right now, it sucks. But if you give up, you're just going to keep losing".
yes yes thank you !!! angel needs someone to meet him in his own world, imagine if husk were like "oh noo ur not a loser no bbg 🥺🥺❤️❤️ ur doin ur best here" trying to convince him wrong and shit and how laughable it'd be esp knowing they're both literal addicts enslaved in hell for eternity?? "you say you fucked it all up for yourself and maybe you did but we still chillen and i care about you just as much either way" is genuinely such a powerful and unconditionally accepting message to send to someone in comparison to "your self-opinion is wrong and if you were correct then i wouldn't even be here for you right now" and i love that the show uses that kind of philosophy to deal with these issues. i can't think of a better way to address someone's self loathing honestly.
If Husker wasn't there Angel probably wouldn't have his redeeming qualities that he has now. I would even dare say Husker did more for him than Charlie did, that's not for a lack of trying or care on her part but Husker was just able to relate to him better on a personal level
@@dantemiles689that’s kind of Charlie’s whole point, that these people CAN get better if enough people who WANT TO HELP EACH OTHER get together in one place. But! Don’t forget, Charlie and Vaggie are the reason why Husked went after Angel to begin with, Husker’s FIRST instinct was Apathy. “It’s Angel, he’ll be fine”. So while yes Husker here is exactly what Angel needs, without Charlie Husk wouldn’t be there.
@@ntbored7727I kinda agree but I don’t think angels voice is bad or that his singing is bad either, but when you go from Husks smooth and low voice to Angels scratchy high pitch one, it’s jarring.
Husk’s Overlord backstory, style, usage of cards, and being voiced by Keith David has formed my headcanon that he’s Dr Facilier after his death in Princess and the Frog.
no bc husk is such a gentleman like he leads the whole dance and song, respects angel's boundaries and does it all to cheer angel up after pretty much rescuing him like????
I never even noticed that, but that's awesome and it's the same attitude I have when inviting people to hang out or even on dates. Hey I'm going to be here l at this place at this time. It'd be cool if you wanted to join me.
Ngl, after my recent breakup, I came back across this song, and 2:16 to the end is really what I needed to hear. It’s beautiful how many ways a song can reach out to people in their darkest times.
@@SirToaster9330 depends on your outlook. some people can learn to live with it and even recover from it, others take the... deepest way out so to speak. some live with it as a permanent scar, others keeps that wound bleeding while drowning themselves in other stuff. also no matter how you try to avoid it, everyone is traumatized in some way. family, friends, strangers, physical, emotional, economical etc, there is no palpatable way someone isnt traumatized somehow. you can traumatize a kid with a single story or a grown adult with a close familys death. its down to the individuals own perceptive of how they wanna live their life. for example, ive had enough bad reactions and treatments from women that i cant see myself ever getting a girlfriend, but i would love to have a wife and kids etc.
@@randallrobertson6042Valentino abuses Angel into submission and goes on violent outbursts (he shot and tore people apart because Angel wasn't returning his calls). Alastor is a psychopath, but doesn't seem abusive or violent towards his servants. Husk openly bad mouthed and argued with Alastor in the pilot but didn't get beaten or intimidated for it; rather he bribed husk with alcohol and husk cooperated. Bribery with addiction is a bad thing but constant physical and sexual abuse is much worse.
@wolfofthenorthwinds7477 Yeah, I'm not saying Angel is having a good time he is having one of the worse. But Alastor feels like the scariest thing on screen.
Bro what 💀...what does being trans have to do with anything? They were just pointing out how Angel dust is oftenly sexual towards husk.@@opportunity3278
@@th3.l1ghtz.d1mI don’t agree with the whole idea of trans (under certain circumstances,) however I still think the fact they brought it up was stupid. Someone’s opinion or lifestyle being different from yours or your beliefs doesn’t mean you get to harass them and bring it up in conversations. This person is being, well, …. Yea..
@@kingxfthedead5876True. I Love Cherry Bomb trying to Help Angel in her own way like in Addict where she stayed with Angel after being SA by Val, but ep 6 shows How Angel is going to Go down more worse if he’s influenced by just drinking or getting high to run away from his sorrows. I also like How Cherry Bomb and Husk represents The Angel and devil on Angel’s shoulders.
I love that Husk doesn’t try to sugar coat Angel’s situation. His life is fucked up, and telling him otherwise would be total bullshit. Instead, he tells him straight up that his life is shit, but that that’s okay. As soon as Angel realizes Husk isn’t judging him, his mood shifts and he immediately starts to embrace who he is. Their lives both suck in their own ways, but at least they know they’re not alone :’)
I love how the song is so harsh but at the same time very comforting. Like saying you’re a sad piece of a crap but you’re a sad piece of crap that isn’t alone.
Yeah, I love this kind of songs more than the "You're worth more than you think" songs. Like, sorry, I know you didn't mean any harm when you said that but I think I know more about myself than someone else 😂
@@Boooo_78 SA survivior here. No, it isn't calling us loosers. It's more like "Hey, you may think ur a looser because of this, but you arent alone in your thoughts."
I find it so more valuable that way. Sometimes you don't need just comfort but company, and honestly hearing someone else say "Yeah you're fucked up but you're not the only one, I'm too" is kinda nice lol
@@Boooo_78I don't think neither husk or angel genuinely believe he's calling him a loser, husk is empathizing with him relating their self deprecating thoughts and self destructiveness, to let him know that he's not alone and he doesn't have to feel bad about the way he acts (because of course, it's about the situation he's in, not about what Angel does or doesn't do)
Bruh, when the guy vomited all over Husks umbrella bc husk was keeping vomit off of angel, and then husk just shook his umbrella out showed just how much he cares abt angel cus I saw that as husk saying that he had more important things to deal with like comforting angel and making angel see what other saw, rather than worry abt his umbrella. That was heart warming.
It’s easy to feel like you’re the only one who suffers, when everyone else seems to be happy. When everyone else seems to be smiling, most of those who suffer rather hide their weakness, just to avoid getting laughed at.
@RapTapTap69 it's the truth if not it's something I need I just want someone I can be around and if thats being a ahole but a loyal person then it's what I want
I honestly thought it was gonna be a wholesome song then Husker just pulls out “ya think your life is wrecked, well let me just say, you’re correct!” I died from laughing
I like how the song quickly goes from Husk seemingly attacking Angel to Husk more obviously comforting Angel by basically saying "Hey, you're in the dumps, but we can at least keep each other company"
Well also like, when you're in a DEEP funk of depression. NO amount of "You ARE special. Your worth it. Don't you see how awesome you are?" All you wanna do is scream NO. That you aren't and you don't wanna hear someone saying you are great cause you don't believe it. Ok well YOU'RE A LOSER. BUT SO AM I. 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Maybe i'm reading too deep into it, but during Poison, when Angel danced with Valentino, he was chained to him and being dragged along the whole time. When Husk dances with Angel, he starts by guiding him by the hands, but by the end of it they're dancing in sync without touching at all. Really goes to show the difference between Angel's relationship with both Val and Husk
Omg yes. This is so perfect to describe how Husk is not forcing Angel and its actually trying to help him and help him learn being himself (cause when u act too much u kinda forget abt this things) but i guess my part its more hc
@hopebiased1270 Yeah. Height doesn’t have much to do with your voice. My mom was extremely tall (much taller than the average tall man) and she was always very easy to read because she got a very deep voice whenever she got upset and the rest of the time, she sounded a lot like Charlie’s pilot voice while my (even taller) grandpa sounded like Twilight from My little pony 😂
Something I noticed is that husk never flat out grabs angel. He puts his hand out and waits for angel to take it, a luxury he clearly wouldn’t get from Val
Husk in this episode went from being just a bartender to my favorite character in the show. Hope to see more from him, Keith David is doing an amazing job!!
Same! Well second favorite next to Alastor, but Husk’s characterization sold him as my second favorite. As much as he gives shit to Angel it was only because he wanted to see the real him. Btw Vivzie when we are we getting hazbin playing cards like husk’s? I want some for myself!
I LOVE how they aren’t comforting each other by talking about solutions. Instead, they talk about how they could relate to eachother. Man, sometimes there are problems that can’t be solved right away
or problems that don't need to be solved at all. Being a "loser" doesn't HAVE to be a problem. What made them one can be changed but that wont suddenly make them geniuses or some bs and that's fine.
@@trueMCGRavenThe meaning of this song is that you need to accept where truly you are to really start looking for improvement (in this case redemption)
His voice has strayed away from his pilot voice the most (well except KatieXD) and while I think his pilot voice fits his character a bit better, Keith David can't possibly do wong and Husk really climbed the latter in my character rankings :)
I’ve seen some people criticize this song, saying Husk is telling Angel to “suck it up” cause he’s not the only one with problems, and…I’ve never understood how someone could misinterpret a song so brilliantly. Do I agree that the lyrics make things a bit tone deaf? Yeah, it’s not PERFECT. But with the tone of the song itself, it’s almost impossible not to understand what’s happening here. Husk isn’t invalidating Angel’s trauma or situation with Val, nor is he trying to compare him selling his soul to Alastor to Angel selling his soul to Valentino, and being sexually abused as a result. Husk can’t relate to that, and he doesn’t claim to. But he CAN relate to regretting past choices. He CAN relate to being in an inescapable situation. So while he can’t relate to Angel’s EXACT struggles, he can relate to a certain extent. And that’s what this song is about. It’s a comforter. Yeah Angel’s in deep shit, but he’s not the only one. He’s not alone in his problems, and he doesn’t have to keep being alone when there are people who can say “Me too man, it’s gonna be okay”. Some people are interpreting this song as Husk telling Angel “You’re not the only one with problems, so suck it up and embrace it, you’re not special”. What Husk is REALLY trying to tell Angel is “You’re not alone, and you don’t have to act like you’re alone. You can let your walls down for people who can understand, even slightly. And if you’re gonna be suffering, might as well suffer with a friend”. THAT’S what this song is about.
He's just singing about you may be a loser but if you stick it together with a support group you can overcome it. You aren't in it alone everyone's got problems, don't lament in them, embrace the flaws be who you are, but always strive to keep moving in the right direction.
No kidding! Having only really experienced Husk from the pilot, I was *not* expecting a (relatively) wholesome song in a series that focuses on *Hell* like this! 😯
Husk went from being "oh yeah. he's that furry cat alcoholic guy" to "THAT'S *MY* FURRY ALCOHOLIC KITTY CAT LOSER GUY, AND I LOVE HIM!!!" within the span of this episode for me--
@@hardouindelagrandiere8446I like how the songs reflect the views of two similar yet different characters. Husk and Angel have different types of trauma yet bond through that. Carmella and Velvet have different views on war since one has been through war and the consequences, while Velvet is willing to go to war without knowing the consequences having never experienced it. Then you got Alastor and Vox who have their own personal beef between one another. I just feel like it’s a cool way to show off characters right off the bat.
The duets in Hazbin Hotel are SO good, and this is my favorite of what we’ve seen so far. Husk is the absolute best friend/bartender a demon could have!
i hate how twitter's calling this "victim blaming" when in reality the message is, "Yo we're at the bottom and so are a million others. We losers got each other to lean on so lets embrace it"
In a way, I do think this song does place some of the blame on these victims. However, within the wider context of the show and their stories, it's a lot more complicated. Husk and Angel have made some very bad choices, but they made those choices exactly because they didn't have any other better option, just worse ones. It's an illusion of choice we see repeatedly.
@@rosesweetcharlotteI also think u have to look at it from the perspective of the “losers”. From someone not in their position, it’s easy to tell them they have nothing to be sorry for, etc. but for two people going through similar shit, it’s realistic. It’s like they haven’t reached that part of the healing journey yet. Imo 🤗
IKR ITS SO PERFECT!!!!!! God damnit I love these two and I hope to God they become besties because holy shit I love how FREAKING adorable and gentle they are with each other like AHHHHHHHH I NEED MOOORE 😭😭😭😭
Husk's is a very distinctive baritone voice, whereas Angel's is more of a Tenorino. To put it simply, Husk's voice is like a Bass Guitar, whereas Angel's is closer to a violin. When you listen to Husk's singing you feel it more than hear it when the mood picks up, due to the deep bass his voice possesses. You can definitely tell that Angel sings from the throat while Husk sings from his chest because of the tone they sing with
The thing is I realized this myself that when a person insults you it might not even be an insult but they are stating a flaw you have that you need to fix. We're too embroiled with all this insult game too much.
I love that in this universe the other characters are consciously aware that the main cast are literally singing and not just singing as a "presentation" for the audience Lmao.
I know a lot of people are on the fence about the new voice actors but I think Keith David is a perfect fit for husk, the slightly deeper, smoother yet still slightly gravely voice fits him so well
I feel like most of the voice acting controversy comes from Angel Dust's VA, because we had that music video that had one VA and then they don't have that VA on the show, but honestly since "poison" came out most of the debacle has died down. Also Keith David is amazing and everyone knows it, so I doubt that there was many protests to him doing any character honestly
it really bothers me how some people interpret this song as "yeah you got assaulted, you suck for it and stop complaining" the song is about "yes, right now your life is horrible and there's nothing you can do about it, but you can still find happiness by accepting it and being with the people that love you and understand you"
YES OMGGG Like, I'm an female alto who can hit tenor and sometimes bass notes and I know I could NEVER hit Blake's notes even if I tried lmao🤓💀(which is a reason why I sing Husk's parts in the song) /lh
Let's not forget the legend Keith Davids' singing. Harkening back to his performance as Dr. Facilier from Princess and the Frog. Wonder what song the Arbiter from Halo would sing.
Absolutely adore the message of this song. At first Angel takes it as Husk mocking him, but then as the song goes on it becomes clearer that Husk is telling him “We’ve both been through it, and it sucks. You don’t have to put on a face for people because we’re all landed in the same hellhole!” I’m a loser, you’re a loser, we’re all losers, PREACH IT!
@@odette6761 no it doesn't it actually meant to be a form of healing mechanism for him which husk is trying to help with since him and angel have both dealt with manipulative psychopaths
I genuinely love how husk isnt just lying to comfort angel, instead he tells him that he isnt alone with his problems. Both of them know they are a mess but at least they can share that with each other
the second angel gets affirmation he’s accepted by husk in this song with the “baby that’s fine by me” he instantly feels better and more comfortable to sing.
I absolutely love the way Angel's entire tone changes the moment he accepts the idea in the middle of the song going from grumpy and feeling like shit to just being himself and seeming happy to let it out. Just to clarify, I mean his voice, it's all grungly and grumpy into upbeat, higher pitch and seemingly happy.
Cause he understands that Husk has been there, knows what it's like and he's not nearly as alone as he thinks he is so he can open up and get closer to Husk cause he's so kind, straight forward and waaay more gentle to Angel like it's so precious and adorable I can't reiterate this enough
@jdlara7774 I think it also boils down to Husk letting Angel know it's okay to be who he really is, to just be real with him cause Husk is always real and rarely puts on an act. I mean we see at one point that he forgets where he stands on the power scale and says exactly what he means even though he shouldn't.
I must say that Loser Baby is the first song from the series that I listened to and I fell in love!!! I have a great sentiment for her and only now I see what HuskerDust is like, which makes me love her even more😍😍😍.
As a therapist, this is sometimes the exact comfort people need. Not everybody, but plenty of people. Sometimes all you can say is "this fucking sucks and you're not alone."
I don't know But where I've been for nearly a decade and a half it's always been like that I open up to a friend, they said you're not alone, then they leave me anyway
@@ML-di8lt well it is about the others too, I can't blame my old friends for not sticking with me when I needed them because they couldn't handle me the way I was, they had their problems too but at the times I didn't even notice until the end of my high-school years, they hadn't shown up and let's just say they didn't skip town, they took themselves out of this world permanently because of said problems they had, it's not like before they did it they didn't hang out, they did but my depressed self wasn't much fun to hang around and was making things worse for them but again, didn't pick that up at the time. Do I blame myself? No because I know I was in the same boat, but now that I am leveled headed and happy, one of my regrets is not being there for them..., I don't hold any resentment twords them or my old friends that are still alive because I get I wasn't a fun guy to be around, you know?
@@ML-di8lt I mean I understand they have this thing called life but I wish they could've just dropped by to say "hi how've you been" to me Almost all the time it's always me who initiates that, wanting to start a conversation and I'd let them vent out their troubles (even though I don't know much of what to do) but never time for me to vent out My troubles
Honestly I genuinely never thought Husk would get some depth like this, I just saw him as essentially a gag character or a cynical voice of reason type character. So the fact he got a song like this, especially with the message he has, gives me hope for how the other characters will be played out and developed.
Shows us he does care deep down, and just wants others to be real and have always place their problems on themselves. not realizing they are not alone and they can help each other. at least that is what I think.
yeah, thought he was gonna stay in the background as a joke mopey character. Then he sat there listening to everyone for a couple days and became like the wisest guy there
@@aguyontheinternet8436I suppose every one at that hotel will have an episode and a personal song. Pentious and Niffty are the only ones that doesn't have a song for themselves
I still am absolutely shocked by the crazy differences in their voices!!! The contrast is so surprising yet so good! I was definitely not expecting Angel Dust to sing along when the song started and was pleasantly surprised when he started singing along.
But if you put them on the end of the main antagonist like in a show I’m sure you’ll not remember that’s where it really is perfect because he reminds me a lot of the voice actor I’m pretty sure he is marmoo from Kulipari
Imo this man's voice is greater than Morgan Freeman. Keith David does the opening for Princess Mononoke for studio Ghibli as well and plays the big boar god as well. The man is a legend.
This song is not only catchy and funny, it’s uplifting. I just like seeing Angel Dust somewhat comforted, and learning that Husker is actually more than what he seems.
Мне кажется, что это из-за Лилит. В первой серии говорилось, что она наполняла ад своими песнями и силой. К тому же с песней гораздо легче. Поэтому в аду много тех, кто с удовольствием споёт)
Honestly, a lot of people would probably have fun with and like to just break out in an awesome musical number if they could. Hell is not exactly very restrictive and there's even less reasons to care about people thinking you're weird there. Plus what the person above me said, yeah
For every last one of my regrets, for my times when I was a jerk, times when I feel like I didn't do enough, or didn't accomplish anything, THIS is what gives me hope!
I love that Husk actively lifts up Angel’s sexuality in this song, instead of mocking or taking advantage of it like other characters in the show. He’s basically telling him to live his life and celebrate himself despite how shit things are for both of them, that’s amazing!!
"It's time to lose the self-loathing, excuse yourself, let hope in, baby..." is a line that will never leave me. Such a powerful and healing permission.
Yes ah. I used to think I was a monster for the things I did. Then I got obsessed with studying traumas and they're effect on ppl. It makes me feel normal. Cause I am. My reactions are normal. Now I change cause I want to not cause society tells me to. I hope a friend of mine gets it one day and stop pushing everyone away and hating himself...
I love how Husk means it. Angel doesn’t need to be perfect or put on an act to be liked, he just has to be himself and know there are people out there who will care about him and reach out when he needs help.
i love the way they aren’t sexual with each other in this song. like the way they show affection to each other to comfort is by holding hands and leaning on each other. SO ADORABLE 💕
I feel like they COULD get together, and it would be a cute and healthy relationship for angel who’s yet to have a nice relationship, but Icould also see them as just friends. It’s not that Husk doesn’t LIKE Angel flirting it’s that he doesn’t like when Angel puts on an act around him. He doesn’t want to make nice with a “fake” person.
@@blakebranwen6734 Personally, I kind of hope they *don't* get together, just because... there are not a whole hell of a lot of just affectionate male friendships in anything. I wouldn't be upset if they did, I just like them better as flirty friends than as lovers.
After the song when Angel is being more open and honest Husk makes a throw away comment about how he "likes" the man he's looking at after Angel flirts with him again
I think it's more that Husk's soul is completely owned by Alastor, while Angel's soul is Valentino's property only when he's at work, so that's why his are less thightly tied than Husk's. (English is not my first language)
Husk is easily my favorite character. Bro is not only classy but he is a truly human sinner that isn’t necessarily evil or raunchy. He’s just easier to connect with than other characters imo
I love how, despite how pessimistic he is on the idea of anyone being redeemed, even if he seems like a grouch that just tolerates everyone, he’s more than that. He tries to keep the rest of them on the straight and narrow. Maybe he’s lost hope in redemption, but not in his friends. He’s like the Angel on your shoulder. I guess hearing everyone’s troubles all day, every day, gives him a glimmer of hope and faith, at least in this group of misfits and hazbins he’s found himself in. He’s probably one of the most sane and kind people of the group. Despite his depressing outlook on things.
“Raunchy” And they had to make him gay as well for the sake of nothing 💀 Husk and Vox are the only characters in the show which actually get worse because of this shit. Just why.
I know these two audiences don’t really cross but Keith David as the Arbiter in Halo sold me that he was a phenomenal actor and I was so surprised to see him do what he does best in this show 😂.
As a recovering abuse victim with friends who've also suffered some Grade A Bullshit from some Grade A Motherfuckers, that line made me absolutely CACKLE. Because yeah, sadly friendo, that ain't so unique. But hey. Us losers gotta stick together. 😉 After all, those fucked up whiny little bitches (read: our past abusers) ain't gonna do shit for us. Gotta do it together ourselves.
I love that the whole theme of this song is kind of a wake up call for Angel. He thinks he has to keep his problems to himself because no one in the hotel knows what it's like, and Husk is basically saying "Hello? I've literally been the exact person you needed to help you this entire time, so why don't you just let me already?"
Husk just tells it how it is. He may be in that Hotel because Alastor forced him to, but Husk is gonna tell you what you NEED to hear, not what you WANT to hear. That's why I love his character, he's brutally honest, but honest nonetheless.
At first i was wondering wtf the point of Husker was since he mostly just sat around in the background. Then this song comes along and i can't imagine him the show without him.
Does anyone else notice how Husk helped others during this number? He could tell the guy leaving the bar was gonna puke any second, he also broke the window so the guy cooking drugs could escape before the explosion. I just like how that shows just how much Husk knows about Angel’s “escape,” you know? Like, it’s clear that it also used to be Husk’s escape as well.
Geniune question: Where’d the puke go after the he broke the window to save the guy cooking drugs? Cause in the next scene where husk and angel are dancing the sidewalk’s clean
As a recovering drug addict this song host hard for multiple reasons. The opening verse is correct in that if you are an addict you’re responsible. The next few verses explain why that isn’t bad because YOU can change. You can acknowledge who you are as an addict and take strength from others to become a better person. The line that hits hardest is “if we both eat shit together maybe things will turn out better” because that’s the only way up, stop pitying yourself and pretending your suffering is unique. You fucked up, take responsibility and change things for yourself. 15 years clean and don’t regret it at all
I love how by the end of the song Husk introduces much more sweeter and positive words for Angel to hear to “lose your self-loathing, let hope in”. It goes from “you’re not special” and cynical but Husk teachs that while it is cynical, that means your arnt alone, and the song slowly builds into something very positive. I was so right for having Husk be my favorite character, out of all of the characters, he’s the most realistic.
Istg the ship trope of when person A likes/flirts w person B, but B acts all disinterested n annoyed.. til A is upset/troubled and B softens 😭😭 best ship trope ever.
Things Husk did for Angel which was likely very meaningful to him in this scene: - Stopped him from getting thrown up on - Cared for his feelings without wanting anything intimate - Called him 'baby' in an outside of the bedroom way - Accepted him for who he is and didn't be disgusted at his existence or condescending just because of his coping mechanism - Encouraged him to be who he is - "You have flaws out of your control, and so do I, let's have them together" Edit: - Small thing but I notice he opened up even more after Husk danced with him
Feel like that's a pretty neat contrast of someone used to the dresscode and expected appearance of a casino, while slightly tipsy, compared to a coked up flamboyant kind of guy. Fits the two characters extremely good in my eyes.
I hope that Husk gets at least a hundred more musical numbers before the show ends, Keith David is truly an icon and I can’t wait to hear more from him
@@candlestixsmixedwithtrixs There's also season 2 in the works from what i heard, won't release until late 2025 or early 2026 considering the quality and detail viziepop has.
The writing for this song does something well that a lot of people handling this message don’t. The real comfort of telling someone they aren’t alone is implying you personally will be there for them, can relate to them, and don’t judge them. Often that message can come across as “other people have problems so get over it” especially if someone isn’t willing to be vulnerable or tries to imply someone somewhere will care but they will not. This is so sweet. Husker’s VA is fantastic, also.
@@edwardandrews3179 A lot more than that. He's in John Carpenter's Thing and They Live and also Platoon. He's been a Hollywood bigshot for over 50 years now.
@tylerphuoc2653 yeah, I feel like I MIGHT have to deal with some toxic shipper at some point, but that can't stop me from saying my opinion. Can't have two characters do something nice together without them being shipped
I love Husk presence in the group cuz its an opposite to charlie being all positive and cheerful cuz her method does make you feel isolated and alone at times,..but someone like husk being the "its okay, we are losers at least you are not alone" makes it comforting and easier to breathe
Definitely need both though, Charlie's positivity helps give the hotel direction and hope. But they definitely need the realism of Husk and in some cases Vaggie. :)
Yeah, he's definitely the dramatic irony in the cast. He's only there under Alastor's orders, and Alastor presumably just wants to enjoy watching the whole attempt fall apart, but in reality Husk is the balance needed to make this all work
Just shows in life, we need a little of Charlie (hope) and a little of Husker (reality) to keep us going. Husker is the best kind of guy, he doesn’t care for the acts, just be real with him and he’s got you.
Husk's voice is so smooth. Keith David killed it.
Keith David was perfect for this role he’s such a great VA
To be fair, Keith David kills it in every role he has
He sounds sexy, calming and grumpy at the same time and that works perfectly!
I mean, he voiced the Villian in Princess and the Frog, I'd expect nothing less, dude literally sang my favorite Disney Villain song
When I had heard Keith was playing Husk. I was immediately on board. He's brought Husk to life in such a fantastic way.
This song has no business being THIS catchy. But i love how angel went from thinking husk was mocking him to understanding and knowing that husk is in the same position as him.
Ffr😭
Ikr 👍
yes, is so cute!
Or being the best song in the series.
I love how this song seems like
Showing understanding of other's feelings
Insulting
Sharing common ground/Empathy
Insulting
Making the song about oneself
Getting other to open up
Sharing common ground/ Empathy
Encouragement
Sharing common ground/ Empathy / Encouragement
I love how Husker is probably the only one who could reach Angel, because his approach isn't "you're a good person and you just don't know it yet". His approach is just admitting "yeah, you're at the bottom right now, it sucks. But if you give up, you're just going to keep losing".
"Your real self is sparkly! Just let it out!" Never really helped me either. "This sucks. Let's make it suck less" did
yes yes thank you !!! angel needs someone to meet him in his own world, imagine if husk were like "oh noo ur not a loser no bbg 🥺🥺❤️❤️ ur doin ur best here" trying to convince him wrong and shit and how laughable it'd be esp knowing they're both literal addicts enslaved in hell for eternity??
"you say you fucked it all up for yourself and maybe you did but we still chillen and i care about you just as much either way" is genuinely such a powerful and unconditionally accepting message to send to someone in comparison to "your self-opinion is wrong and if you were correct then i wouldn't even be here for you right now" and i love that the show uses that kind of philosophy to deal with these issues. i can't think of a better way to address someone's self loathing honestly.
If Husker wasn't there Angel probably wouldn't have his redeeming qualities that he has now. I would even dare say Husker did more for him than Charlie did, that's not for a lack of trying or care on her part but Husker was just able to relate to him better on a personal level
@@dantemiles689that’s kind of Charlie’s whole point, that these people CAN get better if enough people who WANT TO HELP EACH OTHER get together in one place. But! Don’t forget, Charlie and Vaggie are the reason why Husked went after Angel to begin with, Husker’s FIRST instinct was Apathy. “It’s Angel, he’ll be fine”. So while yes Husker here is exactly what Angel needs, without Charlie Husk wouldn’t be there.
@@swordsmanthegamernine7973 Yes but the difference is if she had her hotel and Husker wasn't there he wouldn't get better.
I love how Husker says "Baby thats fine by me" and Angel actually starts singing fully. Like he accepts his darkest parts and so Angel actually tries.
The way Angel's high voice contrasts Husk's low voice yet sounds so good together really scratches my brain mmm
Exactly!!
I agree it is really satisfying. I adore when Angel starts singing.
I don’t like it. His voice ruins the song for me. Not the VA he sings good, but Angel’s voice has got to be the ugliest thins alongside his character
@@ntbored7727 I have to strongly disagree but everybody has there own opinion!
@@ntbored7727I kinda agree but I don’t think angels voice is bad or that his singing is bad either, but when you go from Husks smooth and low voice to Angels scratchy high pitch one, it’s jarring.
Husk’s Overlord backstory, style, usage of cards, and being voiced by Keith David has formed my headcanon that he’s Dr Facilier after his death in Princess and the Frog.
Oh my god I just realized why I recognized his voice!!!!!
Well… Dr. Facilier did use voodoo magic… and you know who else uses voodoo magic? Alastor…
So not such a crazy theory after all!
Top hat too
why is he a cat tho
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH 😮😮
Man, Keith David's voice is so warm and beautiful to hear. I hope he does more songs in future episodes

Lose your self-loathing. Excuse yourself. Let hope in. Man, those are some great words to live by.
I love how when they dance, Husk never grabs his hand, he just holds it up waiting to Angel to grab on, never forcing him to anything
AND ANGEL DOES! AND I MELT-

Despite being able to swear like a sailor and a bit of a grouch, Husk certainly knows how to be classy.

Im so sorry for you
listen to negative xp
I like this song. Husk doesn’t have a solution to Angel’s problem, but is letting him know he isn’t alone in his trauma
THIS, even getting that affirmation is so powerful
I know just being there and telling someone they aren't alone does a lot
Commiserating is cathartic
Correct me if I'm wrong, but there isn't any way to solve trauma, it's always with you and all you can do is try to be the best you can
@@SirToaster9330 depends on your outlook. some people can learn to live with it and even recover from it, others take the... deepest way out so to speak. some live with it as a permanent scar, others keeps that wound bleeding while drowning themselves in other stuff. also no matter how you try to avoid it, everyone is traumatized in some way.
family, friends, strangers, physical, emotional, economical etc, there is no palpatable way someone isnt traumatized somehow. you can traumatize a kid with a single story or a grown adult with a close familys death. its down to the individuals own perceptive of how they wanna live their life. for example, ive had enough bad reactions and treatments from women that i cant see myself ever getting a girlfriend, but i would love to have a wife and kids etc.
Angel: I sold my soul to a psychopathic freak.
Husk: First time?
Yeah. It's pretty funny. The way Husk knows most of what Angel is going through. Seeing how they aren't that different is great.
@@guitar-gamer Not trying to belittle Angels suffering but would be more scared if I was Husk, Radio Demon owning you is beyound nightmare.
@@randallrobertson6042Valentino abuses Angel into submission and goes on violent outbursts (he shot and tore people apart because Angel wasn't returning his calls). Alastor is a psychopath, but doesn't seem abusive or violent towards his servants. Husk openly bad mouthed and argued with Alastor in the pilot but didn't get beaten or intimidated for it; rather he bribed husk with alcohol and husk cooperated. Bribery with addiction is a bad thing but constant physical and sexual abuse is much worse.

This is like healing negativity.

You can't heal unless you acknowledge there's something wrong so accept that negativity and start healing!

@@kingxfthedead5876True. I Love Cherry Bomb trying to Help Angel in her own way like in Addict where she stayed with Angel after being SA by Val, but ep 6 shows How Angel is going to Go down more worse if he’s influenced by just drinking or getting high to run away from his sorrows. I also like How Cherry Bomb and Husk represents The Angel and devil on Angel’s shoulders.
It's positive negativity.
I love that Husk doesn’t try to sugar coat Angel’s situation. His life is fucked up, and telling him otherwise would be total bullshit. Instead, he tells him straight up that his life is shit, but that that’s okay. As soon as Angel realizes Husk isn’t judging him, his mood shifts and he immediately starts to embrace who he is. Their lives both suck in their own ways, but at least they know they’re not alone :’)

@@Boooo_78 SA survivior here. No, it isn't calling us loosers. It's more like "Hey, you may think ur a looser because of this, but you arent alone in your thoughts."
I find it so more valuable that way. Sometimes you don't need just comfort but company, and honestly hearing someone else say "Yeah you're fucked up but you're not the only one, I'm too" is kinda nice lol
@@arandomperson9745 That makes more sense. Thank you for explaining!
@@Boooo_78I don't think neither husk or angel genuinely believe he's calling him a loser, husk is empathizing with him relating their self deprecating thoughts and self destructiveness, to let him know that he's not alone and he doesn't have to feel bad about the way he acts (because of course, it's about the situation he's in, not about what Angel does or doesn't do)
Bruh, when the guy vomited all over Husks umbrella bc husk was keeping vomit off of angel, and then husk just shook his umbrella out showed just how much he cares abt angel cus I saw that as husk saying that he had more important things to deal with like comforting angel and making angel see what other saw, rather than worry abt his umbrella. That was heart warming.
Husk also took that umbrella out of the trash so I doubt he'd care about it past that song, only using it as a prop
The worst part of going through shit is feeling alone. Knowing you have someone understands is honestly so comforting.
Yeah. Having somebody who understands is always better than somebody that tries to make you happier by force.
I don't have anyone to understand me or I can be myself round everyone is soft pricks
@@MR_Narrator0careful that you don't cut yourself on all that edge you're fabricating
It’s easy to feel like you’re the only one who suffers, when everyone else seems to be happy. When everyone else seems to be smiling, most of those who suffer rather hide their weakness, just to avoid getting laughed at.
@RapTapTap69 it's the truth if not it's something I need I just want someone I can be around and if thats being a ahole but a loyal person then it's what I want
When Husk sings “you’re a loser baby” for the first time, I BURST out laughing so hard. This was an especially good episode
The "Only one star reviews-er" got me completely
SAME
I honestly thought it was gonna be a wholesome song then Husker just pulls out “ya think your life is wrecked, well let me just say, you’re correct!” I died from laughing
It's the end that got me laughing , even other demons couldn't believe they were singing XD
The way he holds an L on his forehead took me out
I like how the song quickly goes from Husk seemingly attacking Angel to Husk more obviously comforting Angel by basically saying "Hey, you're in the dumps, but we can at least keep each other company"
Husk is starting to be my favorite character
He just want angel to stop hating themselves and wearing a mask all the the time.

Well also like, when you're in a DEEP funk of depression. NO amount of "You ARE special. Your worth it. Don't you see how awesome you are?" All you wanna do is scream NO. That you aren't and you don't wanna hear someone saying you are great cause you don't believe it.

Maybe i'm reading too deep into it, but during Poison, when Angel danced with Valentino, he was chained to him and being dragged along the whole time. When Husk dances with Angel, he starts by guiding him by the hands, but by the end of it they're dancing in sync without touching at all. Really goes to show the difference between Angel's relationship with both Val and Husk
Omg yes. This is so perfect to describe how Husk is not forcing Angel and its actually trying to help him and help him learn being himself (cause when u act too much u kinda forget abt this things) but i guess my part its more hc

Yeah. Height doesn’t have much to do with your voice.

I want more of Husk singing! I freakin adore Keith's voice 😍 ❤
Same! Well second favorite next to Alastor, but Husk’s characterization sold him as my second favorite. As much as he gives shit to Angel it was only because he wanted to see the real him. Btw Vivzie when we are we getting hazbin playing cards like husk’s? I want some for myself!
Same. I didn’t really have an opinion about him in the beginning; he was just a secondary character for me. He’s now my favourite.
Yea husk is pretty great my favorite might still be sir pentious tho.
@@DLBot2016don't sleep on sir pentious.
I LOVE how they aren’t comforting each other by talking about solutions. Instead, they talk about how they could relate to eachother. Man, sometimes there are problems that can’t be solved right away
or problems that don't need to be solved at all. Being a "loser" doesn't HAVE to be a problem. What made them one can be changed but that wont suddenly make them geniuses or some bs and that's fine.
Most times, that's all people WANT to know is that there's someone out there that can relate.
Sometimes that’s the start of a solution. Not immediately talking out a problem, but validating someone’s feelings.

Husk is so comforting to listen to. I love how empathic he is. It wasn't what I was expecting he really grew on me.
His voice has strayed away from his pilot voice the most (well except KatieXD) and while I think his pilot voice fits his character a bit better, Keith David can't possibly do wong and Husk really climbed the latter in my character rankings :)

I’ve seen some people criticize this song, saying Husk is telling Angel to “suck it up” cause he’s not the only one with problems, and…I’ve never understood how someone could misinterpret a song so brilliantly.
Do I agree that the lyrics make things a bit tone deaf? Yeah, it’s not PERFECT. But with the tone of the song itself, it’s almost impossible not to understand what’s happening here.
Husk isn’t invalidating Angel’s trauma or situation with Val, nor is he trying to compare him selling his soul to Alastor to Angel selling his soul to Valentino, and being sexually abused as a result. Husk can’t relate to that, and he doesn’t claim to. But he CAN relate to regretting past choices. He CAN relate to being in an inescapable situation. So while he can’t relate to Angel’s EXACT struggles, he can relate to a certain extent. And that’s what this song is about.
It’s a comforter. Yeah Angel’s in deep shit, but he’s not the only one. He’s not alone in his problems, and he doesn’t have to keep being alone when there are people who can say “Me too man, it’s gonna be okay”.
Some people are interpreting this song as Husk telling Angel “You’re not the only one with problems, so suck it up and embrace it, you’re not special”.
What Husk is REALLY trying to tell Angel is “You’re not alone, and you don’t have to act like you’re alone. You can let your walls down for people who can understand, even slightly. And if you’re gonna be suffering, might as well suffer with a friend”. THAT’S what this song is about.
I was also saved by your interpretation.
Thank you! Finally someone put what I was thinking into words.
Even the scene before the song is husk trying to get angel to open up a bit so I don't know how people misinterpreted it
both of those sentences are correct, when it comes down to it there is no correct answer only an interpitaion
Well said
Never knew how much I needed to enjoy hearing Keith David sing a song about accepting you hate your self, but not allowing it to be who you are.
Hey, he respected Riddick didn't he??? Lol
He's just singing about you may be a loser but if you stick it together with a support group you can overcome it. You aren't in it alone everyone's got problems, don't lament in them, embrace the flaws be who you are, but always strive to keep moving in the right direction.
@@phoenixfyregaming4334?
I didn’t see the song as accepting you hate yourself, I saw it more as accepting that that’s the way you are right now, but can get better.
@Shevtress The voice of Husk is the same of the "Holy Man" in Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick
Is Angel's tone change @1:45 simply because he's gone from depressed to accepting?

@@hardouindelagrandiere8446I like how the songs reflect the views of two similar yet different characters. Husk and Angel have different types of trauma yet bond through that. Carmella and Velvet have different views on war since one has been through war and the consequences, while Velvet is willing to go to war without knowing the consequences having never experienced it. Then you got Alastor and Vox who have their own personal beef between one another. I just feel like it’s a cool way to show off characters right off the bat.
The duets in Hazbin Hotel are SO good, and this is my favorite of what we’ve seen so far. Husk is the absolute best friend/bartender a demon could have!
@@Initiallyleo the grumpy uncle figure. Hoping him and Angel are an item though but best friends are great too~
i hate how twitter's calling this "victim blaming" when in reality the message is, "Yo we're at the bottom and so are a million others. We losers got each other to lean on so lets embrace it"
In a way, I do think this song does place some of the blame on these victims. However, within the wider context of the show and their stories, it's a lot more complicated. Husk and Angel have made some very bad choices, but they made those choices exactly because they didn't have any other better option, just worse ones. It's an illusion of choice we see repeatedly.
@@rosesweetcharlotteI also think u have to look at it from the perspective of the “losers”. From someone not in their position, it’s easy to tell them they have nothing to be sorry for, etc. but for two people going through similar shit, it’s realistic.

Husk's is a very distinctive baritone voice, whereas Angel's is more of a Tenorino.
To put it simply, Husk's voice is like a Bass Guitar, whereas Angel's is closer to a violin. When you listen to Husk's singing you feel it more than hear it when the mood picks up, due to the deep bass his voice possesses.
You can definitely tell that Angel sings from the throat while Husk sings from his chest because of the tone they sing with

I feel like most of the voice acting controversy comes from Angel Dust's VA, because we had that music video that had one VA and then they don't have that VA on the show, but honestly since "poison" came out most of the debacle has died down. Also Keith David is amazing and everyone knows it, so I doubt that there was many protests to him doing any character honestly

@@odette6761 you missed the point entirely lmao
I genuinely love how husk isnt just lying to comfort angel, instead he tells him that he isnt alone with his problems.
Both of them know they are a mess but at least they can share that with each other

@@RichardHunslet1963 Ik I seen it on like every comment I looked at.
the second angel gets affirmation he’s accepted by husk in this song with the “baby that’s fine by me” he instantly feels better and more comfortable to sing.
i can also give a recap of what i just watched
this wasnt a recap it was a detail i thought was nice so i pointed it out 👍@@link969
@@link969do you know the meaning of word "notice" my darling friend?
@@AnimeFan-lx3gj ngl was high as shit typing that so nah I forgor
@@link969 i didn’t give a recap bro i just said a detail 😭
I absolutely love the way Angel's entire tone changes the moment he accepts the idea in the middle of the song going from grumpy and feeling like shit to just being himself and seeming happy to let it out. Just to clarify, I mean his voice, it's all grungly and grumpy into upbeat, higher pitch and seemingly happy.
Cause he understands that Husk has been there, knows what it's like and he's not nearly as alone as he thinks he is so he can open up and get closer to Husk cause he's so kind, straight forward and waaay more gentle to Angel like it's so precious and adorable I can't reiterate this enough
I think that's kinda just the medium of musical theater though. things move fast and people change their whole outlook on life with one tune
@jdlara7774 I think it also boils down to Husk letting Angel know it's okay to be who he really is, to just be real with him cause Husk is always real and rarely puts on an act. I mean we see at one point that he forgets where he stands on the power scale and says exactly what he means even though he shouldn't.
Keith David singing just makes me uncontrollably smile. His voice is just incredible.
my farts are better than Vivziepop’s farts 💨
Literally butter as sound
I thought that was his voice
I mostly remember him from his role in Community, but I know he can belt out a tune from his role in the Princess and the Frog.
Yeah. Now I really hope that he gets more songs in the future episodes.
I must say that Loser Baby is the first song from the series that I listened to and I fell in love!!! I have a great sentiment for her and only now I see what HuskerDust is like, which makes me love her even more😍😍😍.
As a therapist, this is sometimes the exact comfort people need. Not everybody, but plenty of people. Sometimes all you can say is "this fucking sucks and you're not alone."
If only it were that easy.
Like imagine they were actually there for you
When they said you were not alone
I don't know
But where I've been for nearly a decade and a half it's always been like that
I open up to a friend, they said you're not alone, then they leave me anyway
@@spongeyspikes09 when people say you're not alone, they also need to prove it by being there. Otherwise it's just words.
@@ML-di8lt well it is about the others too, I can't blame my old friends for not sticking with me when I needed them because they couldn't handle me the way I was, they had their problems too but at the times I didn't even notice until the end of my high-school years, they hadn't shown up and let's just say they didn't skip town, they took themselves out of this world permanently because of said problems they had, it's not like before they did it they didn't hang out, they did but my depressed self wasn't much fun to hang around and was making things worse for them but again, didn't pick that up at the time.
Do I blame myself? No because I know I was in the same boat, but now that I am leveled headed and happy, one of my regrets is not being there for them..., I don't hold any resentment twords them or my old friends that are still alive because I get I wasn't a fun guy to be around, you know?
@@ML-di8lt I mean I understand they have this thing called life but I wish they could've just dropped by to say "hi how've you been" to me
Almost all the time it's always me who initiates that, wanting to start a conversation and I'd let them vent out their troubles (even though I don't know much of what to do) but never time for me to vent out My troubles
Seeing Husk dance like he's in an old sinatra movie and then seeing the two of them dance together is so amazing, makes my soul happy.
500 likes and no comments? Let me fix that.
Saaaame
Same! I am trying to find a song like this with similar animation style but failing. I might have just predicted this song? I dunno.
Same
it’s the scene I keep going back to, the last dance in front of the loser sign is so gorgeous
Honestly I genuinely never thought Husk would get some depth like this, I just saw him as essentially a gag character or a cynical voice of reason type character. So the fact he got a song like this, especially with the message he has, gives me hope for how the other characters will be played out and developed.
Shows us he does care deep down, and just wants others to be real and have always place their problems on themselves. not realizing they are not alone and they can help each other.
at least that is what I think.
They got Keith David to play him, that probably should have been your first sign he was gonna have a bigger role
Same!!
yeah, thought he was gonna stay in the background as a joke mopey character. Then he sat there listening to everyone for a couple days and became like the wisest guy there
@@aguyontheinternet8436I suppose every one at that hotel will have an episode and a personal song. Pentious and Niffty are the only ones that doesn't have a song for themselves
I still am absolutely shocked by the crazy differences in their voices!!! The contrast is so surprising yet so good! I was definitely not expecting Angel Dust to sing along when the song started and was pleasantly surprised when he started singing along.
Husk’s VA is genuinely one of the sweetest men I have ever met and it’s so funny any time he swears in this show omg
You’ve met Keith David???
@@malkshaykeApperently!
But if you put them on the end of the main antagonist like in a show I’m sure you’ll not remember that’s where it really is perfect because he reminds me a lot of the voice actor I’m pretty sure he is marmoo from Kulipari
Bro has met Keith David and don't even know his name, insane
Imo this man's voice is greater than Morgan Freeman. Keith David does the opening for Princess Mononoke for studio Ghibli as well and plays the big boar god as well. The man is a legend.
This song is not only catchy and funny, it’s uplifting. I just like seeing Angel Dust somewhat comforted, and learning that Husker is actually more than what he seems.
Thats why its my favorite song of the show
True this song isn't catching but why is it so good, that it never needed to be catching at all.
Ikr? Husk just climbed his way up to one of my favorite characters
The fact that other characters call out the singing in this series is absolutely great. Like musical numbers are just the norm in hell
Because theater kids go to hell
As a musical theatre kid… makes sense that musical numbers are in hell 😂
Мне кажется, что это из-за Лилит. В первой серии говорилось, что она наполняла ад своими песнями и силой. К тому же с песней гораздо легче. Поэтому в аду много тех, кто с удовольствием споёт)
Honestly, a lot of people would probably have fun with and like to just break out in an awesome musical number if they could. Hell is not exactly very restrictive and there's even less reasons to care about people thinking you're weird there.
Plus what the person above me said, yeah
With Lucifer and Lilith loving music I find it to be expected :D
For every last one of my regrets, for my times when I was a jerk, times when I feel like I didn't do enough, or didn't accomplish anything, THIS is what gives me hope!
I love that Husk actively lifts up Angel’s sexuality in this song, instead of mocking or taking advantage of it like other characters in the show. He’s basically telling him to live his life and celebrate himself despite how shit things are for both of them, that’s amazing!!
my farts are better than Vivziepop’s farts 💨
Nobody was mocking Angel Dust for his sexuality, idk wtf are u yappin about
@-2zz122 I think he means how sexually he behaves, not his gender preferences. I can see how it's confusing wording, tho
@@-2zz122Bro was projecting with that one
Which is kinda sad but that’s the type Hazbin attracts lmfao
You know it's funny because they're from hell
"It's time to lose the self-loathing, excuse yourself, let hope in, baby..." is a line that will never leave me. Such a powerful and healing permission.
So true 🎉
I know 🥹 they are such comfort characters for me
Yes ah. I used to think I was a monster for the things I did. Then I got obsessed with studying traumas and they're effect on ppl. It makes me feel normal. Cause I am. My reactions are normal. Now I change cause I want to not cause society tells me to. I hope a friend of mine gets it one day and stop pushing everyone away and hating himself...
The likes 👀
Edit: yall fucked it.
" I sold my soul to a psychopathic freak!"
"And you think that makes you unique??"
K I felt that
“baby that’s fine by me!” FAVORITE PART OMFG😭😭
Omg i know!! It's like he was low-key flirting with him throughout the whole song 🥰😍
Here comes the shipping💀
I love how Husk means it. Angel doesn’t need to be perfect or put on an act to be liked, he just has to be himself and know there are people out there who will care about him and reach out when he needs help.
@@MariaNationlmao if they actually get together how will you react cuz it’s pretty heavily implied they will😭
@@MariaNation I’m not shipping them I just really like that line, sorry if it came across wrong😭
Husk is the only guy that can make you feel nice by directly saying you’re a loser 😂😂
i love the way they aren’t sexual with each other in this song. like the way they show affection to each other to comfort is by holding hands and leaning on each other. SO ADORABLE 💕
Husk doesn't really like it when angel flirts with him XD
I feel like they COULD get together, and it would be a cute and healthy relationship for angel who’s yet to have a nice relationship, but Icould also see them as just friends. It’s not that Husk doesn’t LIKE Angel flirting it’s that he doesn’t like when Angel puts on an act around him. He doesn’t want to make nice with a “fake” person.
@@blakebranwen6734 Personally, I kind of hope they *don't* get together, just because... there are not a whole hell of a lot of just affectionate male friendships in anything. I wouldn't be upset if they did, I just like them better as flirty friends than as lovers.
Platonic loves underated@@Mr.Monacle
After the song when Angel is being more open and honest Husk makes a throw away comment about how he "likes" the man he's looking at after Angel flirts with him again
I love the attention to detail on the ropes that bind them. Of course Alastor’s ropes are perfect while Valentino’s are haphazard. Brilliant.
Angels also look more bdsm like
@@Anotherclevername20such a good detail
@Anotherclevername20 The bdsm ones had patterns. This ones are just loose.
I think it's more that Husk's soul is completely owned by Alastor, while Angel's soul is Valentino's property only when he's at work, so that's why his are less thightly tied than Husk's.
(English is not my first language)
Yeah! I absolutely love that part!
Husk is easily my favorite character. Bro is not only classy but he is a truly human sinner that isn’t necessarily evil or raunchy. He’s just easier to connect with than other characters imo
and that smooth voice REALLY helps
@@the_dennator7723keith davis is just soothing personality wise as well
I love how, despite how pessimistic he is on the idea of anyone being redeemed, even if he seems like a grouch that just tolerates everyone, he’s more than that. He tries to keep the rest of them on the straight and narrow. Maybe he’s lost hope in redemption, but not in his friends. He’s like the Angel on your shoulder. I guess hearing everyone’s troubles all day, every day, gives him a glimmer of hope and faith, at least in this group of misfits and hazbins he’s found himself in. He’s probably one of the most sane and kind people of the group. Despite his depressing outlook on things.
I have a sweet spot for angel dust but I also really love husk c:
“Raunchy”
And they had to make him gay as well for the sake of nothing 💀
Husk and Vox are the only characters in the show which actually get worse because of this shit.
Just why.
I know these two audiences don’t really cross but Keith David as the Arbiter in Halo sold me that he was a phenomenal actor and I was so surprised to see him do what he does best in this show 😂.
His singing voice so far is my favorite it's so smooth and romantic.
Which one?
@@inutrasha4027obviously Keith David
@@helpme6897 do not think of me ever

"It's time to lose your self-loathing, excuse yourself, let hope in" brought me to tears
It's a trauma-cleansing, loser-uniting song.

@@dazedandconfused5711 I was actually kind of surprised at how well he can sing.
"power bottom at rock bottom" is the perfect description of angel
“And you think that makes you unique?” That line hit different
Hello Minecraft :)
@@Misha_Katsuki hello :)
Fr, it hits too close to home that line
As a recovering abuse victim with friends who've also suffered some Grade A Bullshit from some Grade A Motherfuckers, that line made me absolutely CACKLE. Because yeah, sadly friendo, that ain't so unique. But hey. Us losers gotta stick together. 😉 After all, those fucked up whiny little bitches (read: our past abusers) ain't gonna do shit for us. Gotta do it together ourselves.
You're not alone!
I love that the whole theme of this song is kind of a wake up call for Angel. He thinks he has to keep his problems to himself because no one in the hotel knows what it's like, and Husk is basically saying "Hello? I've literally been the exact person you needed to help you this entire time, so why don't you just let me already?"
RIGHGHTT
Husk just tells it how it is. He may be in that Hotel because Alastor forced him to, but Husk is gonna tell you what you NEED to hear, not what you WANT to hear. That's why I love his character, he's brutally honest, but honest nonetheless.
Misery loves company. That's basically this song in a nutshell.
I’m also fond of the implication that you don’t have to get your life together all at once. Sometimes it’s just ok to be a loser.
So many people care for Angel. Charlie wants to keep him safe and Husk sees him for what he really is.
I love that Husk, the one polar opposite to Angel, is the only one who knew the right thing to say to Angel. I love the dynamics in this show
Husk healed 10 years of abuse and anguish in Angel.
@@bizznick444joe7I don’t think you can heal that with just a song
"Whatever you're lookin' for, you ain't gonna find it at the bottom of that bottle. Been lookin' there a long time myself." Yeah, total foreshadowing.
I lov this song I love the way hes roasting angle and angels roasting him self 😂
Husk is the best Character, and that is literally because Keith David brings so much charisma and class to him.
That's exactly why i love him now, and i didn't before! It's weird, but Keith literally made Husk a better character with his voice alone 😅
I actually liked the older voice better, but after this song I think I'll reconsider
@@popeyethepirate5473I thought the exact same!
@@popeyethepirate5473the dialogue with the old one is slightly better, but the singing here really brings the new one together
At first i was wondering wtf the point of Husker was since he mostly just sat around in the background. Then this song comes along and i can't imagine him the show without him.
Does anyone else notice how Husk helped others during this number? He could tell the guy leaving the bar was gonna puke any second, he also broke the window so the guy cooking drugs could escape before the explosion. I just like how that shows just how much Husk knows about Angel’s “escape,” you know? Like, it’s clear that it also used to be Husk’s escape as well.
Geniune question:
Where’d the puke go after the he broke the window to save the guy cooking drugs? Cause in the next scene where husk and angel are dancing the sidewalk’s clean
@@nopetat0:58 he mopped that shi up with his body, guy's so helpful he did community service
@@jaslikeart impressive how the vomit didn't stain him at all
@@nikkistudio... Blocked with pretty big umbrella and cleaned it right after
Uh pretty sure he CAUSED the explosion...
As a recovering drug addict this song host hard for multiple reasons. The opening verse is correct in that if you are an addict you’re responsible. The next few verses explain why that isn’t bad because YOU can change. You can acknowledge who you are as an addict and take strength from others to become a better person. The line that hits hardest is “if we both eat shit together maybe things will turn out better” because that’s the only way up, stop pitying yourself and pretending your suffering is unique. You fucked up, take responsibility and change things for yourself.
15 years clean and don’t regret it at all

who asked mate
@@danielmaynard7689You asked, by coming to the comment section. If you don't want to hear what people have to say, stop coming down here.
1:13 I can argue, letting walls down did NOT make husk straight😟
BRO HAHAHA 😂
I love how by the end of the song Husk introduces much more sweeter and positive words for Angel to hear to “lose your self-loathing, let hope in”.
It goes from “you’re not special” and cynical but Husk teachs that while it is cynical, that means your arnt alone, and the song slowly builds into something very positive. I was so right for having Husk be my favorite character, out of all of the characters, he’s the most realistic.
my farts are better than Vivziepop’s farts 💨
Istg the ship trope of when person A likes/flirts w person B, but B acts all disinterested n annoyed.. til A is upset/troubled and B softens 😭😭 best ship trope ever.
@@p-__who are you?
Things Husk did for Angel which was likely very meaningful to him in this scene:
- Stopped him from getting thrown up on
- Cared for his feelings without wanting anything intimate
- Called him 'baby' in an outside of the bedroom way
- Accepted him for who he is and didn't be disgusted at his existence or condescending just because of his coping mechanism
- Encouraged him to be who he is
- "You have flaws out of your control, and so do I, let's have them together"
Edit:
- Small thing but I notice he opened up even more after Husk danced with him
This song is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
-LAID IN VOMIT FOR HIM
- layed down in the throw up
Remember, the shit sandwich is there, but together, we each only have to eat half
I also like that Husk doesn’t tried to grab Angel, instead he offers it to the point the Angel gets comfortable offering his hand to Husk
i love that husker was primarily judging angel for being fake, and not for their personality
I love Husk's sleazy confident stroll. What a legend :p
He walks so funny sometimes I love it
Feel like that's a pretty neat contrast of someone used to the dresscode and expected appearance of a casino, while slightly tipsy, compared to a coked up flamboyant kind of guy. Fits the two characters extremely good in my eyes.
Well he is a cat…
@@Kaymazo Almost a bit of Bluto in there as well? There's a hint of rubberhose animation in his movement style, which I like. c:

@@candlestixsmixedwithtrixs There's also season 2 in the works from what i heard, won't release until late 2025 or early 2026 considering the quality and detail viziepop has.
The writing for this song does something well that a lot of people handling this message don’t. The real comfort of telling someone they aren’t alone is implying you personally will be there for them, can relate to them, and don’t judge them. Often that message can come across as “other people have problems so get over it” especially if someone isn’t willing to be vulnerable or tries to imply someone somewhere will care but they will not. This is so sweet. Husker’s VA is fantastic, also.

@@moonzie37 *I* am that rabid shipper :)
I love Husk presence in the group cuz its an opposite to charlie being all positive and cheerful cuz her method does make you feel isolated and alone at times,..but someone like husk being the "its okay, we are losers at least you are not alone" makes it comforting and easier to breathe
Definitely need both though, Charlie's positivity helps give the hotel direction and hope. But they definitely need the realism of Husk and in some cases Vaggie. :)
Yeah, he's definitely the dramatic irony in the cast. He's only there under Alastor's orders, and Alastor presumably just wants to enjoy watching the whole attempt fall apart, but in reality Husk is the balance needed to make this all work
Just shows in life, we need a little of Charlie (hope) and a little of Husker (reality) to keep us going. Husker is the best kind of guy, he doesn’t care for the acts, just be real with him and he’s got you.
@@tailedgates9all the characters bring something to the group and the hotel crew would definitely not be the same if anyone came to be missing
