No Right Answer: Best Devil Ever - with Jim Sterling!

[octafish]

My favorite Devil is probably Elizabeth Hurley in the Bedazzled remake, and yeah, it's for the obvious reason of it being Elizabeth Hurley.

Ugh. Sacrelige. I came to post about Peter Cook and you do that. I feel queasy now.

Also I can understand why you might forget about Eric Stoltz and Virginia Madsen in the Prophecy, but how can you forget Elias Koteas? He carries the film.

Interesting how nobody mentions this particular portrayal of Lucifer.


In my opinion, it might be one of the best portrayals I've ever seen. Even though his design is not quite interesting at first, there's just something off about him, like he's both male and female and he just looks... well... evil, but at the same time, he doesn't, he's both deeply corrupted and innocent looking at the same time.

I have a fondness for animated devils.

South Park, loved it.
Futurama robot devil, brilliant.
That Treehouse of Horror with Flanders as the devil?

It's always the one you least expect.

I like no right answer but this one really irritated me. Well to be accurate D's Hercules sucks massively and HADES ISN"T A DEVIL. so ya i have a bone to pick with this lol

 

[Lyvric]

I think they mean devil more as in "an evil god." It also has to be a like-able, kinda-wanna let him win charismatic one. I find many Devils/Demons/Lucifers/Hades/Gods/Planar Overlords detached in inhuman way and not that relatable.

Many villains and super-powered antagonists I find are more connectable because they're not godly. Kinda goes the same way for good guys.

Also, the ending was awesome. Well played.

We actually kinda want this monster to win, and in a way, he does, and is happy about it, and we kind of are too!


EDIT: I have to write that Jim "won" this one as to the two they chose. Hades is almost a clown. You can sympathize with him but he's not chilling like Vigo. But Vigo's part is very small in that movie. Less time to mess it up. I still vote I win so far

I was going to say what about Al Pachino in the Devil's Advocate? Surely he beats out both of them.

I really enjoyed that one. best no right answer in awhile. Jim seemed exhausted but he put on a great show and argued his devil well. I hope they managed to grab Yahtzee for another guest show and I would pay money for a Paul versus Graham debate on just about any subject.

My vote would have also been for the sandman Lucifer though

 

[Something Amyss]

Jim nearly got a spit-take. Awesome.

I hear Marriott hotel rooms make great sets XD

This was pretty neat. Any chance we'll see any other impromptu cross-overs from Expo?

That would be great if they could pull it off.

 

[Adam Jensen_v1legacy]

Oh man, it's Hades. I fuckin' love that guy and James Woods killed with his performance. Every once in a while I like to watch his quotes on YouTube.

 

[thiosk]

No way. No way. Vigo, srsly, I always go back to vigo on this one. Cartoon hercules goofy purple guy? whatever.

"I will fill your mouth with your mother's feces" would have been a great line in any of the lord of the rings movies

I'm surprised Jim didn't mention Chris's Kirby shirt. Kirby's mojo was all like, "Come on, Jim. Give him a compliment."

I'm don't think Jim should have gotten his 3rd point, since he was still making the point of his choice of Devil asserting his domain over evil acts. But hey, it's always a good time when a Drinking Round is involved!

I agree! He's charming, and scary. He looks as he does because he chooses it. In a moment where he loses control, he is beautiful, as Lucifer is supposed to be. He's super smart and convincing.

The scene on the subway is probably my favorite. The one where he speaks perfect Spanish.

 

[RTR]

Kudos to Chris for keeping it together during the drinking round. I know I would've choked.

Glad you liked the crossover episode. Unfortunately we were only able to record two episodes while there, the second one has special guest Lisa Foiles!

Not only that, but like any good villain he talks sense; like when he goes on about he's all about the people and how he's been down there getting his hands dirty and whatever.

Sorry, I admit, it's not one of my prouder moments.

REALLY REALLY? NOBODY has mentioned legend with Tim curry and Tom Cruise???? This is perhaps the best devil ever. So addictive with a sadistic twisted dark humor, as in "I value your thoughts"

I completely agree, though someone did mention him on the first page.

This was my first thought when I looked at the topic of the video. By far the best devil ever!

 

[tzimize]

Hate to be "that guy", but do you do realize Hades in not a Devil, right? He was just flanderized a lot because that is a Disney animated movie, to the point he is devilish due to being "the bad guy"...

In that sense, Ghost Raider, Constantine and Devil's Advocate presented better versions of the prince of darkness. Heck, I would take Little Nicky's version over that one.

Oh god I love Harvey Keitel. His devil was just the best devil. Also...Pacino was brilliant...."Vanity, Hah! Definitely my favorite sin!"

 

[Realitycrash]

Okay, just going to say this: In my opinion, the Best Devil Evar was Daniel Defoe in the short-lived (but awesome) series Brimstone.
