“Give Abaddon a gun” is the kind of wildly exaggerated fan slogan that fits Haunted Hotel’s tiny demon with enormous menace. Season 2 has given fans fresh Abaddon material to react to, and social conversations show that viewers are especially interested in his attitude, his relationship with Esther, and the trouble that follows him around the Undervale. The phrase is best treated as a fandom joke—not as a verified line of dialogue or an official Netflix slogan.
Abaddon is a fictional character voiced by Jimmi Simpson. Netflix describes Haunted Hotel as a supernatural comedy about a family trying to run a haunted hotel, while official Season 2 promotion highlights the return of Abaddon. See the Netflix Media Center page and the Netflix Tudum Season 2 announcement.
Why the “Give Abaddon a Gun” joke fits the character
Abaddon is written as an ancient, self-important demon trapped in a child’s body. That contrast—grand supernatural ego in a small, often irritated package—is a reliable source of dark comedy. A fan slogan imagining him with even more destructive power exaggerates that contrast for comic effect; it should not be mistaken for a literal plot summary.

Fans are talking about Abaddon—and his dynamic with Esther
In a public Haunted Hotel subreddit thread about two Season 2 press images, viewers joked about Abaddon looking annoyed with Esther and speculated about what the characters had done to provoke that reaction. The exchange captures the appeal behind the meme: fans enjoy reading attitude, power dynamics, and comic menace into the characters’ expressions. It does not establish that “Give Abaddon a Gun” is a universally trending phrase.

What is confirmed about Abaddon in Season 2?
Netflix’s official teaser explicitly promotes Abaddon’s return, and the show continues to frame him as a demon living in a child’s body. Beyond that broad setup, it is important to distinguish official story information from fan theories, edits, and memes. We found fan discussion about Abaddon and Esther, but we could not independently verify that the exact phrase “Give Abaddon a Gun” has become a widespread trend across X and Instagram.
That caveat does not make the joke less fun. It simply keeps a fan-made phrase in the right category: fandom commentary, rather than a quote confirmed by the writers or a plot point announced by Netflix.

Official social promotion: Abaddon returns
Netflix’s official Season 2 teaser uses Abaddon as a major promotional hook. The video below is an official Netflix upload, while the X post links to Netflix Geeked’s promotional material. These are official show sources, not fan posts.

Does the show actually give Abaddon a gun?
The slogan should not be read as confirmation of a specific gun-related plot point. The sources linked here establish Abaddon’s return and show fans reacting to his character, but they do not confirm that the phrase is an official line or that a gun-related scene is canon. If a specific episode moment is being referenced, it should be checked against the episode itself before calling it confirmed.

Final take
“Give Abaddon a Gun” works as an exaggerated fandom joke because Abaddon already brings outsized demonic confidence to a very small body.

Just keep the labels clear: Abaddon and the show are canon; the slogan is treated here as a meme, not a verified quote or confirmed plot development.
