- ―C.H.E.R.U.B jingle
C.H.E.R.U.B is a non-profit organization of cherub angels that protects the living on behalf of souls in Heaven. It made its debut in the titular episode.
Background[]
C.H.E.R.U.B is seemingly Heaven's equivalent of I.M.P. Unlike their Hell-based counterparts, C.H.E.R.U.B offers free protection services for the living humans of Earth. Its known members include Cletus, Collin, and Keenie, though it is unknown if there are others, especially after the three were banned from returning to Heaven after accidentally killing Lyle Lipton. They have ads similar to the I.M.P ad complete with their own jingle.
Their goal is to save the lives of people in the living world because someone wants to keep them alive, whereas I.M.P's goal is the complete opposite, to kill people because someone wants them dead. A secondary goal C.H.E.R.U.B has is to try and help the saved person be worthy of ascending to Heaven when they die.
Unlike I.M.P, C.H.E.R.U.B doesn't take payment for its work, being a non-profit organization that does what it does because it considers it the right thing to do.

Trivia[]
- The acronym spells out the word "cherub", which is befitting as its members are all Cherubs.
- This is the first organization to not have its full name of its company acronym revealed, so it is currently unknown what the C.H.E.R.U.B abbreviation stands for.
- The employees' names are all from countries famous for their shepherding. Collin and Keenie are Irish names, and Cletus is a Greek name.
The fourth cherub
- For some unknown reason, C.H.E.R.U.B's commercials are also broadcasted on Hell's TV stations.
- It's implied that C.H.E.R.U.B also try to help the people they save to get into Heaven, despite the fact no one knows the requirements necessary to pass divine judgement and ascend after death.
- It is unknown if C.H.E.R.U.B is now disbanded since Cletus, Collin, and Keenie (the only ones who were seen working in the company) were banished from Heaven. Though, Deerie and the other Cherubs who appeared at the end of the titular episode may also be fellow employees.
- C.H.E.R.U.B can be considered as a parallel to I.M.P; C.H.E.R.U.B is a non-profit organization in Heaven that helps humans, as opposed to I.M.P being a small company in Hell that kills humans.
- The main trio of cherubs (who have been banished from this organization) are also parallels to the I.M.P imp trio; Cletus can be seen as the parallel of Blitzo, as both are the leaders of their respective teams and both treat treat a co-worker poorly, Collin can be seen as the parallel of Moxxie, as both share several similarities in designs, both get saddled with unfair workloads from their leaders, and both are the least assertive of their respective groups, and Keenie can be seen as the parallel of Millie, as both are hot-tempered women who are prone to violence.
- However, unlike the I.M.P trio who genuinely care about each other and are professional like-minded assassins, Collin is often treated badly by Cletus and Keenie, who are more aligned with their objectives and self-righteousness.
