[Paw Patrol] Adventure bay is purgatory for Mayor Humdinger and the only way to escape is if he successfully manages to kill himself.
Mayor Humdinger was a terrible person but just not quite awful enough to merit actual eternal punishment. He’s on a work release program in Adventure Bay to provide engagement to the souls of children taken too soon before they can move on. If one of his zany plans actually manages to end his life he can escape his punishment, but the Paw Patrol are always on their way to save the day.
My children have made me watch every episode against my will and I just can’t help but feel like Mayor Humdinger only makes sense if his overall goal was to die. Rider always seems downright omniscient and mocking in his failure to do so so in my mind he’s the caretaker/jailer.
Edit: Also he literally lives in Silent Hill.
