History Funny / Doom

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC4F9tQWKOU Text To Doom]] includes all the sound effects being replaced with verbalized text-to-speech equivalents. The sheer deadpan nature of it as the TTS device says everything in a detached, monotone British accent, combined with new monster alert and death sounds just makes for a great deal of hilarity.

* The [[RefugeInAudacity politically-incorrect]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=614akDkzvtE /pol/.wad]] made by some imageboard users has a lot of blackly amusing details in its design. For example, there are 'dark' versions of the Barons of Hell that turn into buckets of fried KFC when slain, Wolfenstein 3D Nazi guards are used in one portion of the map, one of the enemies is basically Shrek, and a number of irreverent soundbites were added. By far the most absurd and surreal part? The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XhsuJLA3ko climax of the custom level]]. Having collected all the keycards, you return to the main chamber and hit the main switch. You will be immediately bombarded with the song 'Navras' by Juno Reactor, while the walls open up to reveal image macros of Ron Paul in his memetic incarnation of Doom Paul and you get besieged by several Ron Paul-ized Icons of Sin spawning demons into the room. After a long space of time wherein you have to survive the barrage of demons, the exit will eventually be revealed.

* The Rickroller. We would say "nuff said," but no; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SL0VncaV0D0 you've gotta see this one]].

* VideoGame/RussianOverkill gives the player intentionally [[GameBreaker game breakingly-powerful]] weapons, items which can casually give the player hundreds or thousands of HP in health and 100% damage reduction armor, and [[YouNukeEm allows you to launch several flavors of nuclear weapon]] into your foes. What do they get? Health multipliers if you're feeling generous. Even the notorious nuts.wad becomes a joke with the [[NoKillLikeOverkill absurdly overpowered arsenal]] you have available to you. Some highlights of your very extensive arsenal include:

** A ''quadruple barreled'' hunting shotgun with an alternate fire that lets your character wield '''''four''''' of them at once. The recoil sends them soaring.

** An automatic shotgun that can launch a giant, bouncing shell casing that spews hundreds of normal sized shell casings in all directions to the tune of 1812 Overture.

*** Naturally, the player is not immune to their own ordinance and they quickly become a greater threat to themselves than the enemies ever were.

* The DOOM Wiki's page on the Doomguy had this little Gem:
--> "The introduction of "jump" and "duck" controls in source ports such as [=ZDoom=] and Skulltag, although not canon, seem to quash the widespread [[WildMassGuessing rumours]] of the 1990s that the Doom marine was a [[HandicappedBadass paraplegic transporting himself by a]] [[CrazyAwesome rocket powered wheelchair.]]"

!!Game Reviews
* The [[https://web.archive.org/web/20120104155012/http://www.next-gen.biz/reviews/doom-review EDGE review]], starting with the infamous line "[[ComicallyMissingThePoint If only you could talk to the monsters...]]"
** Over twenty years down the line, a review like that turned from missing the point to being surreally, amusingly prescient. [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} There are now games where you can talk to the monsters.]] [[VideoGame/{{Stellaris}} Or form alliances.]] [[VideoGame/MassEffect Quite a few,]] [[VideoGame/DeusEx actually.]]
*** Except games where you could talk to the monsters and form alliances already existed by the time of Doom's release. There were various RPG and action games where non-violent interaction with 'enemies' was possible, and games like [[Franchise/{{ShinMegamiTensei}} Shin Megami Tensei]] had exactly those features of talking with monsters and forming alliances, making the review less 'prescient' and more 'ignorant'.
* [=GamePro's=] infamous "[[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/protip PRO TIP]]: Shoot the Cyberdemon until it dies." [[spoiler:It's fake--the "magazine scan" is Photoshopped together--but it's funny all the same.]]

--> "The introduction of "jump" and "duck" controls in source ports such as ZDoom and Skulltag, although not canon, seem to quash the widespread [[WildMassGuessing rumours]] of the 1990s that the Doom marine was a paraplegic transporting himself by a [[CrazyAwesome rocket powered wheelchair.]]"

!!Funny/{{Doom 2016}}

!!The Film

* One visual glitch is that, regardless of where on the image an enemy's weapon is, its attack emerges from its midriff. This resulted in unintended humour in the "Ultimate [[Franchise/TheSimpsons Simpsons]]" Doom mod, where the Cyberdemon is Mr. Burns... and [[PhallicWeapon his rockets emerge from his crotch]].
* TheCraftyTitan's Doom Hack... better known as [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Yukkuri]] Doom, in which everything runs on RuleOfFunny and the Yukkuris are in no short supply. Oh and the rocket launcher is replaced with [[VideoGame/MetalSlug RAWKET LAWNCHAIR]] literally. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dske-7XjaiA part of the game in action.

* If you thought that /pol/.wad was controversial, we also have [[https://mega.nz/#!C8twCZyb!yfDzaYu9NafZVCl982Y-D66k-873MmIfrt0sU0HnerQ Trump]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR8QSJ1shO8 Doom]] which features Creator/DonaldTrump as main character, but not as a VillainProtagonist, but rather, a HeroProtagonist, where you have to fight Bernie Sanders, and yes, UsefulNotes/HillaryRodhamClinton, bacause they let aliens to invade earth with their help, and now Donald have to stop them before is too late. In your way you will encounter peculiar enemies, like Bernie soldiers(which are reskins from the [[VideoGame/Wolfenstein3D SS Soldiers]]) or black imps, even the normal imps are redisigned, [[CrossesTheLineTwice AS ILLEGAL MEXICANS!]]. The CrowningMomentOfFunny can be the weapon of the trump glove which every time you fire he says "[[CatchPhrase YOU'RE FIRED]]"

** And if you choose Skeleton Warrior difficulty, [[EasyModeMockery you get a game so trivially easy,]] [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption that the game decides that you won't win no matter what.]]

* Too scared to play ''Ghouls Forest 3''? Don't worry, we have a rather [[AffectionateParody amusing parody]] of it known as ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mzZ0wi9UHc Gool's Forest 3]]''. This mod replaces all the enemies with sitcom characters such as [[Series/{{Scrubs}} Elliot Reid]] (Replaces Jitterskull and shouts "Hey, slut!" while moving) and [[Series/{{TheOffice}} Dwight Schrute]] (Replaces Yurei, with the disturbing popups replaced to pump some [[NightmareRetardant Nightmare Retardant Fuel]]). What's rather amusing is that the [[DroneOfDread creepy ambient]] is replaced with VideoGame/LuigisMansion soundtrack!

!!Doom 3
* In Doom 3, after you get your PDA from the receptionist, stick around and read the report he's typing on his computer. He'll eventually add a supplemental section complaining about your rudeness and how you were reading everything he typed.
* Near the end of Doom 3, long after the forces of Hell have entrenched themselves on Mars, you find a terminal with a document for you to download. The document in question? [[BreadEggsMilkSquick A helpful guide one of the demons wrote on how to preform a ritual sacrifice]].

!!Doom (2016)
* During the E3 presentation of the 4th game, Doomguy comes across a palm-reader he doesn't have clearance for. He tracks down the corpse of someone who did have clearance, casually tears off his (remaining) arm and uses that to clear the way.
* Doomguy [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZGjA0O-PsI fist bumps a Space Marine bobblehead.]]
** The Space Marine bobbleheads in general, since [[SoundtrackDissonance they play a cheerful chiptune version of "At Doom's Gate"]] when collected, and the SuperDeformed forms of the bobbleheads [[{{Bathos}} look pretty damn ridiculous]] considering the more realistic looks of Doom 2016.
** Especially in the credits where you see the Space Marine bobblehead face against a Pinky.
* Doom Marine's antics in general.
** In the Argent Tower, Doomguy has to remove the filters that turn Hell energy into the safe(r) Argent energy. Hayden tells him to carefully remove the filter, and for a second, Doomguy seems to be about to do so. Then he just stomps the damn thing to break it. Hayden bitches each time he does this to a filter.
** Punching the weapon mod drones. [[UngratefulBastard Really Doomguy]]?
*** Apparently, it's because Doomguy would usually have to pay credits to get the equipment. Doomguy has no credits, ergo punch to dislodge.
** During the prologue, Doomguy gets two calls from [[MissionControl Dr. Samuel Hayden]], [[CardCarryingVillain who all but outright states he's responsible for the demons being on Mars]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist while trying to claim it's for "the greater good"]]. [[ShutUpHannibal Doomguy shuts up Hayden both times]] [[TalkToTheFist by smashing the screens Hayden is calling him on]].
* Dying horribly by burning and melting to death in molten steel? Bad. [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay Doomguy giving the thumbs-up as he's finished off by the horrific burning death? Hilarious.]]

* The DOOM Wiki's page on the Doomguy has this little Gem:

** And if you choose Social Justice Warrior difficulty, [[EasyModeMockery you get a game so trivially easy,]] [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption that the game decides that you won win not matter what.]]
