    Sinner: "I am literally in the most pain a human being can experience right now, and I will be until the end of ti-" Dante: "So what about Florence though, you heard anything juicy about Florence recently?"
  • dantes inferno is basically just dante: dang this guy is getting his ballsack crushed for eternity, thats not epic virgil: this is the man who ate your sandwich dante: he deserves it
  • @GTSE2005
    My guy Dante really just made the first ever tier list
  • @ryankelly7070
    I can't lie, Satan being a 3-headed mountain sized monster chewing on the 3 biggest sinners of all time has got to be the best character design I've ever seen.
  • @PanzerMan332
    "That's why yo shoes raggedy." Dante: "That's why yo mama in Hell." vine boom sound
  • @julesvillega
    Dante: is in literal hell Also Dante: Damn... well... at least we're not in Pisa.
  • @Halloweenish
    Dante: “I can excuse murder, but I draw the line at homosexuality.” The Church: “You can excuse murder?”
  • @teenycrow
    The actual reason lust wasn't a deeper circle of hell is because of all the lust he felt for vergil.
  • @4dkarma486
    Minotaur: appears Virgil: yo shoes raggedy. Minotaur: has seizure
  • @KudaTheNerd
    Dante has "what is going on in Florence" as an option in all speech encounters.
  • @iminyourwallz420
    My boy Dante really woke up one day and decided to write the first ever fanfic in human history, and everyone to this day is still fine with that
  • @inept6851
    Fun fact, the Lust level's contropasso or punishment is not a whirlwind. That was a figure of speech and all people who read the original version and understand the language will tell you that those people are actually just always on the verge of an orgasm but never being able to achieve one.
  • @Mistheart101
    If you keep dunking on Dante's writing like this, he's gonna put you in the turbo layer of Hell when he writes Dante's Inferno 2, man.
  • @Squid-Flaps
    You missed mentioning the 800 year old fart joke. While Dante and Virgil are walking by the demons, one of them "made a trumpet of his ass."
  • @NephiylusBaphson
    I don't know how accurate it is to call the Divine Comedy a self-insert fanfic but it certainly feels like it
  • @bigbutt5647
    I love how he put debt collectors deeper than literally Attila the Hun, like you know he had some landlord he HAAAAATEDDDDD
  • @chinnoe7816
    Dante definitely wrote this laying on his stomach with his feet in the air like "and then virgil said i was so cool"
  • @LotusDecember
    dante: sitting in his house writing his little fanfiction dante's landlord: aye man, rent's due dante: >:( I'll show you
  • @torivega310
    i like how Dante amd Vergil's characters treat the literal hell with horrors beyond comprehension like a safari trip like, Vergil saw guys who got turned into trees with their former human bodies hanging on the branches of their new bodies and told Dante to literally break off one of those guys' limb like a stupid "heya pull my finger" type of prank
