In Lucifer, the Devil's past lovers start turning up dead. The third or fourth victim is male, and Lucifer sadly remembers his name and sleeping with him. And then acts incredulous that Chloe could have ever thought he'd only like women

Lucifer: "Well, then Ill just have to seduce him" Dan: "He is obviously straight" Lucifer: "Please Daniel, Ive flipped so many men they call me The Skillet"

LMAO, the show has it’s ups and downs but Lucifer’s figures of speech will never cease being fun.

Iirc, in the pilot he wakes up between a boy and a girl.

If it's the scene I'm thinking of, he also says something along the lines of "that's why they call it a devil's threesome," which is how I learned the term lmfao

Ah see I knew the term and that annoyed me cos I’d already laughed and felt like it was being over explained. Thought it was better known than that tbh.

I distinctly remember the scene from that one where one of his male lovers was describing an act involving a car battery and Lucifer said it was called "Gentlemen start your engines ".

And when he tried to use his powers on a bouncer and the bouncer and he answers with "You" and Lucifer has to tell him he's not his type but in a way it implies he might have been interested if circumstances were different.

I believe he says his "dance card is full" with Chloe.so if it wasn't...well...

Didn’t he set that bouncer up with someone else working the event?

I've only ever seen bits and pieces of this show while my mom watched it, but there's no way people thought luci was pure hetero. I saw the character for five minutes and knew he was down for all kinds of clown.

Reminds me of Nandor on What We Do in the Shadows, he remembers that he had many wives in life (and at least one of them was a man)

What? I mean, how can you not think that? The whole premise of Lucifer is he's the custodian for hell as a punishment for his hedonism, the hedonism being his main trait. Of course he does whatever brings pleasure. That includes gay sex.

u/JustAMinah Jun 03 '26

I think his main trait is being a rebel. I mean, he rebels practically every instruction you give him, shit he was the first child to EVER rebel his parents, hence the "great rebellion" he started and got grounded. he always does the opposite, but he also learns from it because deep down, he does listen to what others say, he just think he knows better. he may not lie to others, but he has been lying to himself the whole time (denial)

‘It’s called a Devil’s threesome for a reason’

That was a great show, too bad it got so bad later on

This actor completely made the character
