| 8 | ->''"Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."'' |
| 9 | -->-- '''[[Literature/BookOfRevelation Revelation 13:18]]''', ''Literature/TheBible'' (KJV) |
| 10 | |
| 11 | You know what this is. Six hundred and sixty-six, the Number of the Beast, first mentioned in the ''Literature/BookOfRevelation'' in Literature/TheBible, making this OlderThanFeudalism. Sometimes used for that extra symbolism everyone loves, but it's usually used because it's [[RuleOfCool a nifty keen]] way to show that [[MarkOfTheBeast something is eeeevil]]. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Oddly enough, the [[BeastOfTheApocalypse Beast of Revelation itself]] [[OneSceneWonder is rarely ever mentioned]] anymore. (In fact, there were two of them in the Book of Revelation, the Number describing the second.) The Number has totally eclipsed the being it represented. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Sometimes gets truncated to 66 or lengthened to 6666 (or even beyond) if 666 is too high or too low a number, yet still evokes the NumerologicalMotif. Or if you're dealing with LouisCypher, 666 may be part of his address or phone number, in the vein of FiveFiveFive. Another common gag is for this to overlap with SixIsNine, having someone ineptly render the Beast's number as 999. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | The actual number, however, is a subject of debate among theologians and historians: many say the number is actually 616, as some of the older Latin copies of Revelation list it as that rather than 666; all the Greek ones list it as 666, and most probably the name it indicated had a different sum according to their numerological schemes in different alphabets. However, 666 is so much better known that if you try to go with 616 instead it will likely [[ViewersAreGeniuses fly over the heads of most readers and viewers]]. Note that either way, it is the value six hundred and sixty-six or six hundred and sixteen, not just three sixes in a row (like June 6th 2006). In fact, back then it would have been written χξϛ/χιϛ (chi - xi - digamma / chi - iota - digamma)[[note]]The Greeks used a unique set of symbols for each decimal place. So χξϛ would be (600)(60)(6) and χιϛ would be (600)(10)(6)[[/note]] in Greek and the guy who wrote ''Revelation'' would totally not get the stuff about three sixes in a row. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Interestingly enough, another interpretation is 216, as some older translations define this enigmatic number as "6 by 6 by 6", or 6[[superscript:3]]. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | The "616" is also the number given to the main Franchise/MarvelUniverse (as opposed to the other alternate realities). Since it was originally established by Creator/AlanMoore, it's probably safe to assume this was deliberate. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | In Mandarin UsefulNotes/{{Chinese|Language}}, 666 sounds like the phrase that roughly translates as "everything going smoothly", so [[ValuesDissonance the number is considered lucky in China, especially for commercial undertakings]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]This is a more modern development, however. It began in the era of online gaming, commonly thought to be ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'', whereas certain players didn't have enough time to praise a teammate doing extremely good in-game via in-game chat. Therefore, instead of typing 溜 (Liū), which was meant for 'to slip away', in context being 'Smooth move!', they instead typed and spammed 六 (Liù), which means 'six'. Eventually it caught on, with the shortened version being '六六六' or '666', and everyone in China started catching on it, using them to express awe at something.[[/labelnote]] |

| 25 | If you're looking for the SignatureSong of Music/IronMaiden which has the same name, see the album's page [[Music/TheNumberOfTheBeast here]]. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Compare with its Asian counterparts, [[Mystical108 108]] and [[FourIsDeath 4]]. Also, its European counterpart, [[ThirteenisUnlucky 13]]. For the Creator/RobertAHeinlein novel, see ''Literature/TheNumberOfTheBeast''. Not to be confused with [[FiveFiveFive 555]], which is about fake phone numbers, though as stated above, sometimes an evil-associated fake number can make them overlap. See also MarkOfTheBeast, when association with dark powers gives someone a physical marking. |

| 44 | * The [[ArtifactOfDoom Book of Darkness]] in ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs'' has 666 pages. The last Mistress of it, Hayate Yagami is also associated with the number 6, who has [[GoodWingsEvilWings seraph wings]] and was born in June. Six years after the Book of Darkness Incident, she decides to found her own section to investigate the Relic incidents, four years later she achieves her goal by founding the Riot Force 6. Six years after the JS Incident, she founds another section, Special Duty Section 6. The Yagami family has six members, Hayate herself, the four Wolkenritter and Reinforce Eins/Zwei. They adopt later a seventh member, Agito; but this can be interpreted as Hayate having six children now. |
| 45 | * ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': |
| 46 | ** In ''The End of Evangelion'', Ritsuko uses program 666 to protect NERV from being hacked by SEELE. |
| 47 | *** There's also a parking lot bay number 666, however we only see the number of the bay next to it: 665. In the DVDCommentary they joke that it's the "Neighbour of the Beast". |
| 48 | ** ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion'': Mari Illustrious Makinami [[spoiler:hijacks Unit-2 in order to fight the last Angel in You Can (Not) Advance, she activates the Eva's Berserker mode with Code: 666, named, you guessed it, The Beast]]. |
| 49 | ** Ironically, the new version of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2N8woYX7io The Beast]] has the vocals (rather, vocal, as it's only one word) of ''Hallelujah''...which, given the use of Handel's [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Messiah Chorus]] in the original continuity, [[MindRape caused many fans to freak out]]. |
| 50 | * In the original ''Anime/YuGiOh'' episode "Evil Spirit of the Ring" (the first appearance of Dark Bakura in the anime) we see a card called Seven Armed Fiend in Bakura's {{Flashback}} where his father got the Millennium Ring from a merchant in Egypt (the Evil Spirit's previous host) with 666 ATK and 666 DEF points. The US version {{Bowdlerise}}d it to 1000/1000.[[note]]In the [[TabletopGame/YuGiOh real-life game]], the Attack and Defense stats for nearly all cards are some multiple of 50, before modifiers. It is probably no coincidence that the only exceptions to this rule were introduced in one duel before the rules for the RealLife version of the game came out.[[/note]] |
| 51 | * ''Anime/DarlingInTheFranxx'': Zorome's code number is 666, being the rudest member of the team. |
| 52 | * ''Manga/DeathNote'': The rules for using the Death Note specify that the writer has forty seconds (0.66 minutes) to write a cause of death, and a further six minutes and forty seconds (6.66 minutes) to write additional details of the death. |
| 53 | * ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'': |
| 54 | ** In the Eighth Child arc of ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'', a prophecy stated that the BigBad Vamdemon (Myotismon in the dub), [[NotQuiteDead who was thought to be killed moments ago]], will rise in [[{{Satan}} his true form]] at the hour of the Beast. And that evening, at 6:06 PM and 6 seconds, his insanely powerful OneWingedAngel form arises. Surprisingly, this plot point survived completely intact in the dub, and was even played up in the promotion for that part of the show. |
| 55 | ** In the broader ''Digimon'' canon, the Seven Great Demon Lords possess a series of crests, the rings of which state of a "Level 666". No defined meaning is given to the statement, but given that no Digimon is classified by numerical power levels, odds are it's only there because for RuleOfSymbolism. |
| 56 | * There's an actual manga called ''[[Manga/OPartsHunter 666 Satan]]'', which is about humans, angels, and demons hunting for [[PlotCoupon magical artifacts]] and is [[RuleOfSymbolism loaded with Kaballahlistic imagery]]. For obvious reasons, it was released in America as ''Manga/OPartsHunter'', though is otherwise still the same. |
| 57 | * The title super-suit in ''Anime/{{Moldiver}}'' only worked for 11 minutes, 6 seconds at a time. |
| 58 | * Mr. Satan and Videl from ''Manga/DragonBall'' often had the number 666 plastered on their vehicles. Nothing evil about them (although the former is a bit of a prick) -- Toriyama was just throwing nods to the ThemeNaming. |
| 59 | * The ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' franchise has two HumongousMecha with 666 in their model numbers, the [=ZGMF-X666S=] Legend Gundam from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny'' and the NZ-666 Kshatriya from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn''. With the Kshatriya it's arguably coincidental (its from a line of mobile suit whose model numbers repeat the same digit three times, like "NZ-333 α Azieru"), but for Legend there's really no excuse other than [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic implying that the pilot is evil]]. Which is particularly odd since [[DesignatedVillain he clearly is not]]. [[spoiler:He is, however, a clone of the [[OmnicidalManiac very evil]] BigBad of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED''.]] |
| 60 | * In the manga version of ''Anime/HigurashiWhenTheyCry: Matsuribayashi-hen'', [[spoiler:Miyo Takano]] says God keeps showing her the "one" face on the dice, [[RageAgainstTheHeavens but she'll force all the dice to be 6 on their faces]]. There are a number of dice on screen for the "one" dice, but only 3 for the "six" dice. Considering the speech given an issue or two before, this was likely intentional. |
| 61 | * In ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'', the Eclipse, which heralds the birth of a new member of the demonic Godhand, happens once every 216 years, or 6 x 6 x 6. |
| 62 | * In ''Manga/Reborn2004'', there are six powerful Mist-rings known as the Hell Rings. New Varia member [[DeadpanSnarker Fran]] owns the one with the number 666 on it. |
| 63 | * In the opening pages of the manga ''Manga/{{Biomega}}'', we see the protagonist driving along an abandoned bridge... going 666 km/h, of course. |
| 64 | * ''Manga/HighSchoolOfTheDead'' mentions the USA's National State of Emergency Tactical Regulation 666D. |
| 65 | * The ''Manga/LycheeLightClub'''s ArtificialHuman Lychee runs on a series of commands issued by a clunky looking calculator. His activation code? "The Number of the Beast". |
| 66 | * In ''Manga/{{Yaiba}}'' the [[EvilWeapon Devil King Sword]] (Maoken in jap.) is kept in the room Six-Six-Six of Kaguya's moonbase. Probably it's called like that because of the sword inside it. It's also well guarded. |
| 67 | * In the infamous GainaxEnding of ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'', [[spoiler:Panty is sliced up into exactly 666 pieces by Stocking in her FaceHeelTurn.]] |
| 68 | * ''Anime/CControl'' is full of 666 references, to emphasize the DealWithTheDevil theme. |
| 69 | * ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'' had a completely unintentional example: in the first popularity poll, Isumi got 666 votes. The chapter revealing this joked about how bizarre it was for her, of all people, to get that number. |
| 70 | * Around the beginning of the Fishman Island arc, ''Manga/OnePiece'' started a "Where are they now?" side story where chapter covers show what characters of varying importance are now doing after all the time that's passed. The chapters featuring characters from Impel Down, TheAlcatraz where each floor is its own special brand of Hell, take place during the 660s, and the final cover for this group is chapter 666. |
| 71 | * A cruise ship run by a MonsterOfTheWeek in ''Anime/SailorMoon'' has a maximum passenger capacity of 666. |
| 72 | * In ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'', Creator/AleisterCrowley is eventually revealed to have used the CodeName [=Beast666=]. |
| 73 | * With the premise of ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'', this trope was inevitable. Called "Trihexa", it is considered to be the most powerful monster of the series that other mythologies, upon seeing it, claim that even they can't destroy it. |
| 74 | * ''Manga/BloodBlockadeBattlefront'' featured some genetically engineered monsters with a lifespan of 6 hours, 6 minutes, and 6 seconds. |
| 75 | * ''Anime/LittleWitchAcademia2017'': In episode 8, when Akko goes into Sucy's mind trying to find her original personality to wake her up (in so doing hopefully waking up the real-world Sucy, who has fallen into a deep sleep), that personality lives in room 666 of the "mushroom building" in which all her personalities live. |
| 76 | * In ''Anime/ZombieLandSaga'', two reporters looking into the Idols search their website for information, and receiving a notice that they are the 666th one to visit the site. |

| 81 | ** Perhaps fittingly, the card classified under Multiverse ID 666 [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=666 is a black spell that turns you into an undead planeswalker]]. |
| 82 | ** Innistrad, the block with a horror theme, [[http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/arcana/666 was first announced on the 666th Magic Arcana]]. In addition, [[http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/21786917572/the-total-number-of-cards-in-the-current-block-is-666 the number of cards in the block also totaled 666]] |
| 83 | ** The Mythic Rare [[http://www.examiner.com/article/ranking-the-titans-magic-the-gathering-s-2011-titan-cycle Titan]] cards are all 6/6 creatures with 6 converted mana cost. |
| 84 | ** The VideoGames spin-off ''Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012'' states that Nicol Bolas, one of the evilest character in the verse, is 60 foot tall, 60 foot wide and weighs 60 tonnes. (He's a dragon by the way) |
| 85 | * In Poker, a three-of-a-kind made of sixes is colloquially known as "The Beast", though this invokes the erroneous "three sixes in a row" version. |

| 89 | * Creator/MarvelComics' main universe is Earth-616. The term was created around the time of Alan Moore's run on ''ComicBook/CaptainBritain''. Moore's son-in-law said that Moore intentionally used a random number with no meaning (as a deliberate contrast to Franchise/TheDCU, where the main universe is Earth-1, with the idea being that Marvel's "main" Earth is just one random universe out of many, no more or less important than the rest), but artist Alan Davis said it was created by the previous writer David Thorpe, who intentionally used the Number of the Beast to indicate his feelings about superheroes. |
| 90 | ** Marvel also has Earth-666, in which everybody is some sort of horror movie monster. |
| 91 | ** In ''ComicBook/ChaosWar: Chaos King'', Thrann's journal in the prologue starts with 66.6.01, with the first entries being about the creation of the universe and Thrann's arrival in Zenn-La. Entry 66.6.06 turns it into an ApocalypticLog. |
| 92 | --> '''Mental Note 66.6.06:''' That was the beginning of all things. [[EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt But now]]-- |
| 93 | * ''Franchise/TheDCU'' |
| 94 | ** There is a demonic BigBad called Neron which, numerically, translates as 666. |
| 95 | ** In the pre-''52'' DC multiverse, the Wildstorm 'verse had supervillains from an alternate dimension designated 666, where the bad guys won because the heroes never killed villains. They were shocked to meet the Authority, and dead shortly thereafter. |
| 96 | ** Wildstorm also had a CrisisCrossover called "The Number Of The Beast", featuring a logo of three sixes arranged to have one-third turn symmetry. |
| 97 | ** Franchise/{{Green Lantern}}s were forbidden from going to the world Ryut, where all life was obliterated by a [[AIIsACrapshoot Manhunter]] atrocity in the distant past. When Abin Sur crash lands there, he uncovers the prophecy of the [[ZombieApocalypse Blackest Night]], and the [[EldritchAbomination Anti-Monitor]] is turned into the Black Power Battery there. Earth is sector 2814 -- anyone wanna guess what sector Ryut is? |
| 98 | ** Professor Pyg made his debute in ''[[Franchise/{{Batman}} Detective Comics #666]]''. |
| 99 | * Issue 6 of ''[[ComicBook/TheBatmanAdventures Batman Adventures]]'' has Batman (really [[spoiler:Batgirl in disguise]]) interrogate Eel O'Brian into giving away Firefly's hideout. The address Eel gives is Club Inferno, which is located on 666 Dixon Street. |
| 100 | * ''ComicBook/KingdomCome'' has an Anti-Hero whose name is 666. Not only that but he has a huge "6" tattoo on his face and two more 6s on his chest. Alex Ross used Brian Azzarello as the model. |
| 101 | * The address of the title character in ''ComicBook/JohnnyTheHomicidalManiac'' is 777. A man taking a survey points this out and jokingly asks if it's the number for Heaven. Johnny growls "Does this look like Heaven?" According to the comic, 777 is the "number of the moose". |
| 102 | * In ''ComicBook/{{Hellboy}}: Wake the Devil'', Karl Ruprect Kroenen plans to usher in the apocalypse with an army of 666 golems. When Herman von Klempt points out that this is far too few golems to conquer ''anything'', Kroenen replies [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic "The number is symbolic."]] |
| 103 | * The French graphic novel ''[[http://tinyurl.com/cgjthd 666]]''. It has a sequel, ''[[http://tinyurl.com/d3lssd 6666]]'' (which is the year the story is set in). |
| 104 | * ''Creator/WaltDisney's Comics and Stories'' issue #666 contains the first English printing of the story "Mickey's Inferno", an adaptation of ''[[Literature/TheDivineComedy Dante's Inferno]]''. This being Disney, they don't even mention the number when they talk about the story in the afterword. |
| 105 | * Issue number 666 of ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' features a BadFuture where Batman's son Damien takes the cowl after the former's murder. Discount symbolism at its finest. |
| 106 | * In ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'', iso-block 666 is used to contain the most dangerous criminals in Mega-City One. |
| 107 | * The ComicBook/XMen snuck some of their members into a hostile installation once by pretending they were unconscious, their bodies marked with numbered tags. Dr. Hank [=McCoy=] is known as the Beast; one guess what number he put on ''his'' tag.... And when one of the {{mooks}} commented on the number, Hank immediately jumped into action and knocked them out. That's right, one of the greatest geniuses in the Marvel Universe based his infiltration strategy around a joke. |
| 108 | * In issue number 666 of ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'', Superman dreams about killing all his enemies and taking over Hell. |
| 109 | * In ''Flesh'': "Texas", [=McGurk=] brands Gorehead three times with a symbol that looks like the number 6. This is enough for Pastor Sunday to declare that Gorehead is in fact Satan. |
| 110 | * ''ComicBook/GhostRider'': the "Vicious Cycle" arc had Johnny Blaze accidentally bring Lucifer with him when pulling an EscapedFromHell stunt, at which point Lucy fragmented and possessed 666 recently-dead people. |
| 111 | * The first ''Franchise/SilentHill'' comic, ''Dying Inside'', mentioned and invoked this trope, when the main character declared a door code to be her own personal Number Of The Beast. She had issues. |
| 112 | * In ''ComicBook/{{Wanted}}'', one of the characters is Shithead, a shape-shifter said to be made of the feces of the 666 most evil people who ever lived. |

| 116 | * In ''ComicStrip/{{Nemi}}'', one of Nemi's friends tells her that if you remove all letters that are not Latin numerals in the inscription on the Pope's hat, they add up to 666, leading Nemi to ponder if the hat is there to hide the horns. |
| 117 | * ''ComicStrip/TheFarSide'' got in on it with Satan glowering at a confused painter, and "999" over the cave leading to Hell. |
| 118 | * ''ComicStrip/{{Foxtrot}}'' |
| 119 | ** In a subtle example. While playing the game '[[VideoGame/DukeNukem Duke]] VideoGame/{{Quake}}[[VideoGame/DukeNukem m]]', Jason, having just finished level 5, cheerily explains "Only 661 levels to go!" You do the math. |
| 120 | ** In a later strip, Jason engaged in some photo editing to add a 666 birthmark to Paige's forehead, as well as red eyes. |

| 123 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 124 | * ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'' is filled with this number, largely because the protagonist is supposed to be a satanist, and yet [[FridgeLogic Voldemort is referred to as Satan]]. |
| 125 | ** The author's account name is [=XXXbloodyrists666XXX=]. |
| 126 | ** The author's note gives a special shoutout to bloodytearz666. |
| 127 | ** Chapter headers are marked with 666. |

| 129 | ** Draco drives a flying black Mercedes-Benz with the license plate 666. |
| 130 | ** Vampire Potter drives a flying black car given to him by Serious Blak. The car has the license plate [=MCR666=]. |
| 131 | * ''Fanfic/Plan7Of9FromOuterSpace''. The heroes are looking at a floor plan in the SupervillainLair. Level 666 is just marked: Trust Me [[YouDoNOTWantToKnow You Don't Want To Know]]. |
| 132 | * The SoBadItsGood [[Literature/HarryPotter Remus/Sirius]] {{lemon}} ''Passion Night'' has 666 words. Whether this is an amusing coincidence or evidence of it being a TrollFic is unknown. |
| 133 | * ''Fanfic/TheUltimateEvil'': A Hongkongese hotel room that's numbered 666 is where [[spoiler:Valerie Payne is [[DemonicPossession possessed by Shendu]]]]. |
| 134 | * A meta example in ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust''. [[SugarWiki/{{WAFF}} Asuka's Birthday Party]] went up on page 666 of the Sufficient Velocity thread, simply for the sake of irony. The author even ''locked the thread'' to make sure that it went up on that page. |
| 135 | * 666 is the theme of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0wRLxolN0A Shadow and Silver Watch Sonic Boom Trailers]]''. The Devil even appears. |
| 136 | * In ''Fanfic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku'', Fumikage Tokoyami's fifth-dimensional genie, Tskymi, launches a ball 666 meters away during Aizawa's exam. He apologizes for botching the shot afterward. |

| 143 | * In ''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven2'', there's a brief moment of the villains Carface and Red playing cards. While their cards are consistent with recognizable poker hands, Carface asks, "Got any sixes?" Red, indeed, has three of them, but answers, "Go fish." |

| 146 | [[folder:Films -- Live Action]] |
| 147 | * ''Film/{{Annabelle}}'': Mia's apartment is located on the sixth floor. When she gets trapped in the underground with the demon, she tries to push the elevator number to her floor three times. |
| 148 | * In ''Film/Bedazzled2000'', the Devil gives Elliot a pager that he can use to end a wish at any time by punching in this number. In the wish where he becomes a DumbJock he has multiple notes with the number stuck to his locker and ''still'' needs three tries to get it right. |
| 149 | * In ''Film/TheBurbs'', Ray and Art go over to the Klopecks house and knock on their door. The first knock changes the address number on the Klopecks' wall plaque from 669 to 666. The second knock knocks over the plaque, unleashing a horde of bees. |
| 150 | * The [[Film/ChildrenOfTheCorn666IsaacsReturn sixth]] ''Film/ChildrenOfTheCorn'' film shows that it means business by having 666 as its numbering instead of a roman number like the previous films. |
| 151 | * In ''Film/AClockworkOrange'' [[VillainProtagonist Alex]] is seen with two of his former friends, now police officers, whose uniform numbers are 665 and 667. Since Alex is between them, that makes him 666. |
| 152 | * The directors of ''Film/{{Devil}}'' were positively thrilled that their location, a real office building that hadn't opened yet, had the address number 333 (close enough). |
| 153 | * Hell in ''Film/TheDevilsCarnival'' has 666 rules. All six-hunded sixty-six rules are policed, all six-hundred sixty-six rules you must heed. There are... consequences, otherwise. |
| 154 | * The Gregg Araki flick ''Film/TheDoomGeneration'' is filled with references to this number. Among other things, every purchase made by the main characters comes to a total of $6.66, and the female lead had an SAT score of 666 in high school. By the way, SAT scores end in 0. |
| 155 | * Played with in the 1999 film ''Film/EndOfDays''. Apparently, people who saw the number of the beast in their dreams/visions didn't realize it was shown upside down, so the number of the beast was 999 instead of 666. The Devil will then try to return on the last day of the year, for every year ending in 999 (999, 1999, 2999, etc). except they used Roman Numerals back then. |
| 156 | * In ''Film/EscapeFromLA'', the code that unleashes the worldwide {{EMP}} is 666. |

It stays there for the rest of the film. |
| 160 | * In ''Film/TheNinthGate'', guess what the keypad code to Satanic book collector Boris Balkan's private elevator is? |
| 161 | * The origin of the "modern" use of the Number of the Beast is probably ''Film/TheOmen1976''. They even released a [[Film/TheOmen2006 remake of the film]] [[MeaningfulReleaseDate on June 6, 2006]] nationwide. The original came out in the UK on June 6, '76... close enough. |
| 162 | * In ''Film/TheNumber23'', Walter Sparrow's NumberObsession with the "23 enigma," focused on 23 and variants thereof originates from the fact that 2 divided by 3 is .666... |
| 163 | * In the beginning of ''Film/ThePhantomOfTheOpera2004'' the chandelier that the Phantom [[spoiler: had dropped thus starting the fire that destroyed the theater]] is sold on an auction under listing number 666. |
| 164 | * Unusually employed in ''Film/PeacockKing'', a film inspired by Buddhist myths rather than Western ones. The dreaded Ashura, prior to her awakening, was said to have roamed the world 666 years ago before she's sealed. |
| 165 | * In ''Film/{{Pi}}'', the number that drives the plot is 216 digits long. |
| 166 | * Officer Vickers from ''Film/PsychoCop'' has the number 666 tattooed on the back of his hand. [[Film/PsychoCopReturns In the sequel]], it is his badge number. |
| 167 | * The code for the suitcase in ''Film/PulpFiction'' is 666. |
| 168 | * In ''Film/ReignOfFire'', a ruined sign on a road states that London (where TheDreaded male dragon resides) is 66 miles away. Aside from other things scribbled onto the sign, a large 6 is scratched in above the 66. |
| 169 | * Used in ''Film/Route666'', which involves an abandoned stretch of highway nicknamed such after the mysterious death of a prison chain gang. |
| 170 | ** There was a real Route 666, which was a turnpike of Route 66. It's Route 491 now. |
| 171 | * The serial killer from ''Film/Seed2007'' was captured after killing this many people. |
| 172 | * This is used as an address in ''Film/SilentNightDeadlyNightPart2'' and ''Film/Inside2007''. |
| 173 | * ''Franchise/StarWars'': "Order 66" in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', which might double as a reference to WWII's Executive Order 9066, which interned Japanese civilians. |
| 174 | ** This was mocked in [[WebVideo/MisterPlinkettReviews Mr. Plinkett]]'s review of the movie, which imagined Creator/GeorgeLucas searching for an evil-sounding order, but thought 'Order 666' was a little too obvious, so he knocked off a digit. |
| 175 | * ''Film/StayTuned'' loves this trope; after all, it's about a satellite TV network run by {{Satan}} himself. Said network has 666 channels and airs stuff like ''[[Series/BeverlyHills90210 Beverly Hills 90666]]''. |
| 176 | * ''Film/TheDarkSideOfTheMoon1990'': 665 ships are said to have been lost in TheBermudaTriangle. Guess [[{{Satan}} who's responsible]] for these disappearances? |
| 177 | * In ''Film/THX1138'', LUH is consumed and reassigned as fetus 66691. |
| 178 | * In ''Film/YouMightBeTheKiller'', the price of a sale Chuck rings up while speaking on the phone with Sam comes to $26.66. The director's commentary confirms that the number was chosen deliberately to evoke the Number of the Beast. |
| 179 | [[/folder]] |
| 180 | |
| 181 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 182 | * Used in the Creator/RobertAHeinlein novel ''Literature/TheNumberOfTheBeast''. One of the protagonists builds a device that makes it possible to move arbitrarily through a six-dimensional space-time to [[AnotherDimension multiple universes]]; the number of possible destination universes is (6^6)^6 (10,314,424,798,490,535,546,171,949,056), which when written sloppily one of the characters mistakes for the traditional 666. This prompts a discussion over whether biblical prophecy actually refers to the 6-dimensional space-time geometry and the bad guys they've already encountered. (The conclusion is that there are enough similarities to at least be cautious about it.) |
| 183 | * ''Literature/GoodOmens'' by Creator/NeilGaiman and Creator/TerryPratchett: |
| 184 | ** Aziraphale is able to pick the Antichrist's phone number out of a list because it is "Tadfield six double-six". And they were going to name the sequel (which was never finished) ''668: The Neighbour of the Beast''. Charles L. Grant (writing as Lionel Fenn) beat them to it in 1992 with a novel of that title. |
| 185 | ** The address of Famine's club is 666, which he has advertised in a giant neon sign on the side of the building. |
| 186 | --->It was just a number, of course. If you kept counting, you'd reach it eventually. But still, you had to smile. |
| 187 | * Literature/{{Discworld}}: In ''Literature/ReaperMan'', 668 [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Elm Street]], Ankh-Morpork, is the address where the all-undead Fresh Start Club holds its meetings. |
| 188 | * In ''Literature/WarAndPeace'', Pierre Bezukhov calculates the Hebrew number equivalent of Napoleon's full title (''L'Empereur Napoléon'') to be 666, shoehorns his own name to yield the same number (''L'Russe Besuhof''), and thinks that he's destined to kill Napoleon or at least for something great. In reality, the scheme he used yields 661 for Napoleon, not 666, rendering all his actions based on this observation bunk. |
| 189 | * In Book the Sixth of Lemony Snicket's ''Literature/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents'', ''The Ersatz Elevator'', the address of the Baudelaires' new home is 667 Dark Avenue. In addition, it has sixty-six floors. |
| 190 | * The short story [[http://www.ravenelectrick.com/ssraven/neighbors.html "Neighbors"]] by Robert Borski discusses the number 666 from the points of view of nearby numbers. |
| 191 | * Creator/JohnHodgman's ''Literature/TheAreasOfMyExpertise'' includes a list of (North American) phone numbers beginning with the prefix "666" including "a bunch of Satanists who got lucky" and "the author's home phone number". |
| 192 | * ''Literature/NightmareAcademy'', by Creator/FrankPeretti has a rather contrived situation near the end of the book in which a row of buildings is being demolished and one of the characters needs to stop it by putting in a code that corresponds to... some technical detail. Anyway, it ends up being 666 (or 666.0 if you want to be picky, and the computer did). Lampshaded by the kid stopping it when he figures it out. |
| 193 | -->"Twelve times 55.5 is... Really?" |
| 194 | * In Creator/RobertRankin's ''Literature/{{Apocalypso}}'', every dimension is assigned a Greek letter and a number. Hell is Omega 666. |
| 195 | * Conservative shock commentator Ann Coulter released a book called ''Godless'' on 6/6/06. She said it wasn't coincidence. |
| 196 | * Surprisingly averted in the ''Literature/LeftBehind'' series. Nicolae Carpathia is the aforementioned Beast himself, but the obligatory references to 666 are all [[FridgeBrilliance subtle]]: a fixation with the number 216, an assistant named [[MeaningfulName Viv Ivins]], and the numerology of his full name. Nobody brings any of this up directly; they have other, less coincidental, ways of knowing he's the Antichrist. |
| 197 | ** Likewise, when the MarkOfTheBeast finally shows up in the series, the coding for the marks are all the results of equations where different operations are plugged, between the sixes, such as 30 (6 x 6 - 6), 18 (6 + 6 + 6), 42 (6 x 6 + 6), etc. |
| 198 | * In Regina Doman's [[FairytaleNovels ''The Shadow of the Bear'']], the villain uses "666" as the keypad code for his apartment. |
| 199 | * In ''Literature/DeathByGaslight'' by Creator/MichaelKurland, the members of the Hellfire Club carry tokens that read DCLXVI. Professor Moriarty helpfully reads from Revelation 13. |
| 200 | * In ''Literature/TheOrderOfMelkizedek'', the entry point for the titular religious cult is in room 666 in a modern building in Manila's Quiapo district. It seems to have been hurriedly vacated by the cult by the time the main character Sid shows up to investigate however. |
| 201 | * Used in ''Literature/TheLordOfOpium'', where it's mentioned that [[SlaveMooks eejits]] are marked with 666 after their brainwashing operation. |
| 202 | * in ''Literature/TheLaundryFiles'' the 666th RAF Strategic Bomber Squadron "The White Elephants" is a secret unit flying militarized Concordes equipped with nukes, designed to hit a certain site in Russia where the boundaries between dimensions are especially thin and something with too many angles and tentacles might manifest. |
| 203 | * The maximum time a would-be Devil summoner should take, according to the {{Creepypasta}} ''Literature/TheDevilGame'', is 66 minutes and 6 seconds. |
| 204 | [[/folder]] |
| 205 | |
| 206 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 207 | * ''Series/SixHundredSixtySixParkAvenue'' where if you want to live at 999 Park Avenue, you have to sell your soul to the Devil. |
| 208 | * One of the threats of the week for the ''Series/BigWolfOnCampus'' team was a wrestler who would cause ''the apocalypse'' once he got to 666 victories. |
| 209 | * ''Series/BlackMirror'': In "[[Recap/BlackMirrorDemon79 Demon 79]]", Gaap dials 666 to reach Hell's tech helpline. |
| 210 | * One episode of ''Series/CriminalMinds'' has a Satanist whose name is '''F'''loyd '''F'''eylin '''F'''errell. F is the sixth letter of the alphabet. |
| 211 | * The third episode of ''Series/{{Crusade}}'' has a religious fanatic setting a time bomb at 666 seconds. Rather unlikely for a "God-fearing" nut to use the Number of the Beast. |
| 212 | * Discussed in an episode of ''Series/{{CSINY}}'' during Mac's 333 Stalker arc. He and Stella visit a voodoo shop to question the proprietor about a doll found buried with the Victim of the Week. The shop woman blinks slowly, showing Mac the number 666 painted on one eyelid and 333 on the other. He demands to know why. She tells him that while 666 is the Devil's number, some believe 333 to be the number of his son. |
| 213 | * ''Series/DoctorWho'': |
| 214 | ** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E8TheImpossiblePlanet The Impossible Planet]]"/"[[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E9TheSatanPit The Satan Pit]]": The atmospheric readings are 66.6, the gravitational field is "6^6 every 6 seconds", and the name of the base, "[=SB6=]" is seen gradually melting into "666". The two-part episode was even aired over the week of 6th June 2006, or 6/6/06. Also, the Ood go to work to the sound of Ravel's Bolero, which Torvill and Dean famously skated to in the 1984 Winter Olympics — and received perfect 6s for artistic impression. |
| 215 | *** As an extra metatextual touch, the official website's Fear Forecasters gave "The Impossible Planet" a Fear Factor score of 3/6/6/6 -- on a scale that usually only goes up to 5. ("The Satan Pit" got straight 5s.) |
| 216 | ** The coordinates for [[VoidBetweenTheWorlds the Void]] -- the Whoniverse equivalent to Hell -- are all sixes, as seen in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E13Doomsday Doomsday]]". |
| 217 | ** Also invoked in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E10Midnight Midnight]]": When Mrs. Silvestry starts repeating what everybody says, the teenage Jethro says "six six six" to get her to repeat it. |
| 218 | ** In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E8MummyOnTheOrientExpress Mummy on the Orient Express]]", the Foretold kills its targets in 66 seconds, and each time a stopwatch appears on screen to count down the seconds remaining. Of course, the watch appears a total of ''six'' times. |
| 219 | ** The [[ArcWords prevalence of 666]] in the ''Doctor Who'' universe has led observant fans to come up with [[WMG/DoctorWho theories]] to explain it. |
| 220 | * ''Series/EerieIndiana'': |
| 221 | ** Eerie's official population is 16,661 people. Like that comma actually does anything! 16,661 is also a prime number, and a palindrome-- the smallest of what are known as [[http://primes.utm.edu/curios/page.php/16661.html Beastly Primes]]. |
| 222 | ** A blink-and-you'll-miss-it example in "The ATM with the Heart of Gold": when Simon types in his name as a PIN on the deranged ATM, the last three letters translate as 666 on the keypad. |
| 223 | * An episode of ''Series/{{Frasier}}'' showed Frasier's old agent Bebe staying in a hotel room numbered 666. |
| 224 | * An episode of ''Series/FridayThe13thTheSeries'' did a more "realistic" twist on this by having some bad stuff happen at exactly 3:33 AM. |
| 225 | ** Possibly a reference to Jesus's Crucifixion, which had Him die at 3:30 PM. |
| 226 | * ''Series/TheGlassHouse'' reported the discovery that 616 might actually be the number of the beast, and noted that, by international dialing, Canberra's former area code was + 61-6. |
| 227 | * "The House That Dripped Chocolate", one of ''Series/GoodEats'''s Halloween episodes, uses the 216 version. It's the number of layers in the pistachio Butterfin--[[BrandX you know what]] [[RunningGag I mean]]. |
| 228 | * In the epilogue of ''Series/KamenRiderRevice'', Orteca is apprehended by Weekend and sentenced to 666 years in prison for his crimes. |
| 229 | * ''Series/Lucifer2016'': |
| 230 | ** In the episode "Vegas With Some Radish", Chloe suggests that the code to Lucifer's safe is this. [[AvertedTrope It's not]]. |
| 231 | ** According to the numerical designation given on ''Series/{{Crisis on Infinite Earths|2019}}'', the show takes place on Earth-666 of TheMultiverse. |
| 232 | * ''Series/TheMightyBoosh'' episode "Nanageddon" features a demon going on a rampage at a bingo night. As she reveals herself, the bingo caller announces the number: ''"All the sixes - 666."'' |
| 233 | * In ''Series/PointPleasant'' the mark on the protagonist's eye is a series of three six-figures, overlapped and rotated in a particular pattern. It's probably a ShoutOut to the 666 mark on Damien's head in ''Film/TheOmen'', which is three sixes with their tails in the center. The mark of ''Point Pleasant'''s heroine is a circle with three tails curving outward. |
| 234 | * An episode of ''Series/{{QI}}'' had Stephen Fry asking the teams what the number of the beast was (Johnny Vaughan fell for the 666 trap). After Fry had revealed that 616 was the actual number, one of the panel concluded that 666 must be his fax number! |
| 235 | * In the ''Series/QuantumLeap'' episode "The Boogieman", Sam and Al visit a home with the house number 966. As Al crosses the threshhold, the top 6 becomes loose and spins around to reveal a 666 [[spoiler:because Al has been supplanted by the devil, who has hijacked this leap.]] Luckily, [[spoiler:it was AllJustADream!]] |
| 236 | * ''Series/{{Reaper}}'': |
| 237 | ** Sam's house number is 667. In one episode, he hits the snooze button on his alarm clock and the numbers turn red and read "6:66". |
| 238 | ** Played for pun later: The demon rebellion needs the Number of the Beast to summon the Devil...his cell phone number, specifically. |
| 239 | * Lampshaded in ''Series/SleepyHollow'' season 2 episode "Deliverance" - Ichabod Crane and Lt. Mills have found a safe in the local headquarters of the Hellfire Club. |
| 240 | -->'''Mills:''' It's a three-digit passcode.\ |
| 241 | '''Crane:''' A cult such as this would use a number of significance. I can decipher it. ...\ |
| 242 | 589 Wharton Street was the address of the London clubhouse. 1718, the year the club was founded... No.\ |
| 243 | '''Mills:''' They're a fricking evil club... try 666.\ |
| 244 | (safe opens)\ |
| 245 | '''Crane:''' What a lack of imagination. |
| 246 | * ''Series/StargateSG1'' visits a planet whose designation is [=P3X-666=] in "[[Recap/StargateSG1S7E18HeroesPart2 Heroes, Part 2]]". [[spoiler:Dr. Frasier dies there.]] |
| 247 | * ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'': There is a rather reviled Season 1 episode titled "[[Recap/SupernaturalS01E13RouteSixSixSix Route 666]]", and then there are the 66 out of 600 possible seals that need to be opened in order to set Lucifer free from his prison. When Dean wakes up in a post-Apocalypse BadFuture where Lucifer is winning, there's a movie theatre with NOW SHOWING: ROUTE 666 (an InUniverse fictional movie from the episode "[[Recap/SupernaturalS02E18HollywoodBabylon Hollywood Babylon]]"). When Crowley (the King of Hell) rings up our heroes in "[[Recap/SupernaturalS08E22ClipShow Clip Show]]", the number displayed is 666. |
| 248 | * An episode of ''Series/That70sShow'' had Laurie, Eric, Hyde and Kitty playing cards with their youth minister. Laurie ends up having three 6 cards (and this is after she tried to come on to him). The minister promptly gets up and leaves. |
| 249 | * ''Series/TheTwilightZone1985'': |
| 250 | ** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZone1985S1E8 Dealer's Choice]]", a group of gamblers find themselves playing poker against the Devil. Every hand the Devil receives includes three sixes. When one of the players ends up playing for his soul, he attempts to use this to his advantage by invoking dealer's choice and choosing Low Ball as the game. |
| 251 | ** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZone1985S1E22 Take My Life... Please!]]", Billy Diamond is told by Max, his new agent in {{Hell}}, that he can get (almost) anything that he wants by dialing 666 on the phone in his hotel suite. |
| 252 | * ''Series/TheXFiles'': The episode "[[Recap/TheXFilesS07E07Orison Orison]]" has Scully's alarm clock read 666 twice, warning her about the evil man after her. It's surprisingly effective as a piece of mis-en-scene. |
| 253 | [[/folder]] |
| 254 | |
| 255 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 256 | * "Number of the Beast" by Music/IronMaiden, which even begins with the above quote from Revelation. The songwriter, LeadBassist Steve Harris, [[http://images.rapgenius.com/e34754151fd45601bfc959ed72d18d3f.333x500x1.jpg has also worn a]] FunTShirt reading "666 The Number of the Beast, 664 The Bloke Next Door". |
| 257 | * Music/{{Slayer}} planned to release an album on 6.6.06, but due to problems they could only release a single. The album? ''Christ Illusion''. By amusing coincidence, 6.6.06 was also bassist/lead singer Tom Araya's 45th birthday. |
| 258 | ** This was successfully done however by AFI who released their album "Decemberunderground" on 6.6.06 |
| 259 | ** Ditto for Music/{{Lordi}}, who released their Series/EurovisionSongContest winner ''Hard Rock Hallelujah'' as a single in the UK on 6.6.06. |
| 260 | ** Music/{{Metallica}} played a concert in Berlin on 6/6/06. |
| 261 | * "666" in metal in general is very common due to its satanic connotations. Bands that have made songs with the number include Music/{{Helloween}}, Anvil and Burn to Black as well as many others. |
| 262 | ** Danzig's album ''6:66 Satan's Child''. |
| 263 | * The death rap group Three 6 Mafia (aka Triple Six Mafia), once notorious for their Satanic lyrics and references to the occult. However the group has since stated that the name is just a reference the fact that their group started out with three members and ended up with six. That, and the fact that back when they were just starting out, they needed to put out something that would [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity draw attention to themselves]]. |
| 264 | * ''666'', a ConceptAlbum thematically centered on [[Literature/TheBible the book of Revelation]], was the only NewSoundAlbum Aphrodite's Child ever released (in the two years between the completion of the album and its release, the band broke up). |
| 265 | * Alluded to by the Christian Post-hardcore band Underoath's DVD which has "777" in its title due to their religious beliefs. |
| 266 | ** Electronica group System 7 also has two different albums both titled ''777''. (The first of these is titled ''System 7'' [[MarketBasedTitle except for]] in the United States, because of [[Platform/MacOS Apple's System 7 operating system]].) |
| 267 | * Parodied (somewhat) in the song "665: The Great Bean" by [[http://www.theenid.com The Enid]]. |
| 268 | * Parodied by Green Jelly with their 1994 album ''333''. |
| 269 | * Blackened Thrash band Destroyer 666. They take it to extremes, portraying themselves as Australian anti-Christs. |
| 270 | * Music/{{Soundgarden}}'s songs "665" and "667", which are parodies of other metal bands' Satanic imagery. |
| 271 | * Heavy metal band Music/{{Loudness}} has an instrumental titled "222" and (more recently) a song titled "#666". |
| 272 | * The German trance band 666. |
| 273 | * The song "Six Sixty-Six" by Christian-folk singer Larry Norman, covered by his fan Frank Black, is a straightforward retelling of the prophecies about the Antichrist in Bible fanon. |
| 274 | * Murdoc Niccals, the fictional bass player of Music/{{Gorillaz}}, was born on June 6, 1966 (6/6/66) and is a Satanist. |
| 275 | ** He also refers to [[PunnyName "Number of the Beats"]] as a band name they had been considering. |
| 276 | * Music/SteveVai was born on June 6, 1960 (6/6/60) and has skills that could very well be described as not of this world. |
| 277 | * Music/{{Slipknot}}'s song "The Heretic Anthem" featured the chorus: "If you're 5-5-5 then I'm 6-6-6", though the lyrics feature no real Satanic overtones and the use of the number was really just for shock value. |
| 278 | ** Since 555 is commonly used as the exchange for phone numbers in movies and television, the line could be interpreted to mean that if you're trying to fit in and be acceptable, he's trying to be edgy and unacceptable. |
| 279 | * ChristianRock group [=DeGarmo=] and Key's 1984 album "Communication" included a song titled Six, Six, Six. It gained attention [[https://www.youtube.com/ix wach?v=Z7Cdxl4INfw as one of the first CCM music videos]] to appear on Creator/{{MTV}}. It also became infamous for MTV ordering an edit removing a scene where a man kicks a burning trash can down, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUVj47rpuoo briefly setting the man representing the Antichrist on fire]]. |
| 280 | * "666 - The Enemy Within" by Music/HammerFall. |
| 281 | * Music/ThePixies reference this in "Monkey Gone to Heaven" from ''Music/{{Doolittle}}'', with the lines "man is five", "the devil is six", and "god is seven." |
| 282 | * "Disconnected 666", a spooky audio collage by Cop Shoot Cop, has an excerpt from a prerecorded disconnection notice repeating the number 666 over a backdrop of busy signals. |
| 283 | * Mentioned in The Wicked End by Music/AvengedSevenfold. |
| 284 | * "Your Sweet Six Six Six by Finnish love metal band HIM. |
| 285 | * The album cover for Music/BlackSabbath's ''Sabbath Bloody Sabbath'' sports a demon with 666 engraved on its body. |
| 286 | ** In a weird coincidence, the studio version of Sabbath's self titled song has a running time of 6:16. |
| 287 | * The LP cover of Music/DeepPurple's ''The Book Of Taliesyn'' lists the running time of "Exposition/We Can Work It Out" as 6:66. |
| 288 | * Music/PatoFu has a song called "Capetão 66.6 FM" ("Capetão" being Portuguese for "Big Devil"). |
| 289 | * Music/TheDingees' album ''Rebel Soul Sound System'' has a fake (and unreadable) bar code with the UPC "06660 06660". |
| 290 | * The first disc of DoomMetal band Reverend Bizarre's final album, ''So Long Suckers'', is sixty-six minutes and six seconds long. According to WordOfGod, this is not coincidence. |
| 291 | * Music/{{Genesis|Band}}' song "[[Music/SuppersReady Supper's Ready]]" has the line "Six six six is no longer alone". Since the segment it's from is a musical adaptation of Revelation, this probably isn't terribly surprising. |
| 292 | * Proto-heavy metal band Atomic Rooster were ''seriously'' into magick and gematria. Their best-known track ''Devil's Answer'' carries a coded suggestion that 666 is not the number to look out for. Apparently ''357'' is the badass number. Aleister Crowley and others also thought so. |
| 293 | * Music/JohnZorn signed and numbered 666 copies of the album "The Satyr's Play/Cerberus" (2011) and produced 66 copies of a limited edition book version which were individualised and hand bound in black goat skin. |
| 294 | * The late Harlem rapper Big L mentions in the song "Devil's Son" that these numbers are on his scalp if one looks closely. |
| 295 | * For the 666th episode of his long -running radio show A State of Trance, Music/ArminVanBuuren dedicated the episode to the [[DarkerAndEdgier darker and eviler]] side of {{trance}} music (primarily psychedelic and tech trance). |
| 296 | * In an unusual example for a religious group, the ChristianRock band Music/{{Red|Band}} released their debut album, ''End of Silence'', on 6/6/06. |
| 297 | * Music/{{Tool}} has [[PlayingWithATrope some fun with the concept]] on ''Salival'', as the HiddenTrack "Maynard's Dick" comes in at the 7:06 mark on "L.A.M.C", or 6:66. |
| 298 | * Music/TheCowsills: "The Prophecy of Daniel and John the Divine," a song about the [[Literature/BookOfRevelation Whore of Babylon]], has backing vocals chanting "Six! Six! Six!" |
| 299 | * Music/{{Sabaton}} has the joke song "A Secret" from their ''The Art of War'' album where a voice says "executing protocol six hundred sixty-six." |
| 300 | * The song "Magik 666" by Music/JadWio. |
| 301 | * [[Music/GhostBand Ghost's]] song "Death Knell" both uses this straight and plays with it. The first chorus starts with "Six-six-six / Invoke the king of hell", while the second chorus starts with "Sex, sex, sex / Receive the beast of evil", referring to the song's theme of the conception of the Antichrist. |
| 302 | * Lingua Ignota's ''Caligula'' is exactly sixty-six minutes and six seconds long, down to the millisecond. As the final track on the album is entitled "I Am the Beast" and the album is named after one of the Roman emperors for whom the Number of the Beast itself may actually be a code (see below), this is very likely not a coincidence. |
| 303 | [[/folder]] |
| 304 | |
| 305 | [[folder:Mythology & Religion]] |
| 306 | * The TropeNamer comes from the Literature/BookOfRevelation 13:18 from Literature/TheBible (KJV): "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and [[LampshadeHanging his number is six hundred threescore and six."]] |
| 307 | * Another example from the Bible occurs in [[Literature/BooksOfKings 1 Kings 10:14]] (KJV): "Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold.", making this OlderThanDirt, though this is just a coincidence. |

| 310 | [[folder:Pinball]] |
| 311 | * The backglass on the Limited Edition of ''Pinball/IronMaidenLegacyOfTheBeast'' has [[MetalBandMascot Eddie]] dressed in a military uniform with "666" on his shoulders. |
| 312 | * In ''Pinball/GunsNRosesJerseyJack'', the MatchSequence is set on Route 666, fitting the animation's ominous, post-apocalyptic imagery. |

| 316 | * There's a small and odd federation in Japan called 666. One notable character is President Ramu, a demonically-possessed wrestler with super strength for her size. Which is good, given that she'd fit under CuteBruiser. Note she is NOT the least likely champion they've ever had.... |
| 317 | * Back in Wrestling/{{WCW}} as the original [[Wrestling/NewWorldOrder nWo]] [[PowerTrio Wolfpac]], [[Wrestling/TheKliq Kliq]] members Wrestling/KevinNash, Wrestling/ScottHall, and Wrestling/SeanWaltman sometimes all wore shirts with number-6 pool balls on them at once. Though they had the excuse that Waltman was called Syxx at the time and for more than just that reason at that… |
| 318 | * In a 1998 promo, Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin declares that if he's going to face Wrestling/TheUndertaker and Wrestling/{{Kane}} in a triple threat match for his WWF title at Breakdown, Austin 3:16 won't show up, but Austin 666 will instead. |
| 319 | * The total weight of all members of [[Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling AEW's]] Team Wrestling/{{Taz|z}} (Ricky Starks, Powerhouse Hobbs and Hook) add up to 666 pounds. |

| 323 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 324 | * ''Advanced TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'': |

| 326 | * According to most editions' ''Dungeon Master's Guide'', the Abyss, the home of the demons, has supposedly infinite layers, but "conventional wisdom" says the bottom layer is the 666th. The demon goddess Lolth, in particular, has her home on the 66th layer. |
| 327 | * ''TabletopGame/HunterTheVigil'' features the Lucifuge, a secret order made up of people who have inherited the powers of Hell from demonic parents. The head of the organization (also known as the Lucifuge) has spent centuries keeping track of them, and knows exactly how many are on Earth at any one time. Take a guess. |
| 328 | * ''TabletopGame/InNomine'' has players take sides in a war between the demons of Hell and the angels of Heaven. The game system uses d666 (three six-siders for all rolls). Bad things happen to angelic characters whose players roll all sixes, while good things happen if you roll all ones (the Trinity). This is reversed for demonic characters. |
| 329 | * ''TabletopGame/{{Ironclaw}}'': The use of Black Magic can have dangerous side effects. Namely, when three sixes appear in any dice roll involving it. This includes skill rolls, resistance rolls, and difficulty rolls. Just to maximize this effect, the Difficulty Dice for Black Magic are, uncharacteristically, almost all d6s. |
| 330 | * ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'': The ''Bottle of the Bound'' is a legendary artifact in the form of a metal bottle in which an army of six hundred and sixty-six fiends is magically trapped. |
| 331 | * ''TabletopGame/{{Rolemaster}}'': A roll of 66 indicates a very unexpected result. |
| 332 | %%* ''TabletopGame/UrbanJungle: Occult Horror'' retains the "triple sixes" mechanic for Wicked magic. |
| 333 | * ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'': |
| 334 | ** The secret Grey Knights chapter of {{Space Marine}}s is Chapter 666. They are an all-psyker, elite-among-elites group serving under the aegis of the Inquisition's Ordo Malleus and dedicated to combating Daemonic threats. Before they join they have to go through the 666 Rites of the Emperor, which can be described as 666 {{Mind Rape}}s. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Their favorite]] SoundOff, the Canticle of Absolution, is also [[NumerologicalMotif sixhundredsixtysix words long]]. It's also implied that they chose this number [[GenreSavvy specifically because of the bad connotations]]; the Grey Knights are such an elite force that they can handle whatever it means for them. |
| 335 | ** Zarakynel, the Keeper of Secrets model produced by Forge World, costs exactly 666 points to field. This is because Slaaneesh's magic number is 6. Ann'grath (Khorne) has a points costs of 888, similarly. |
| 336 | ** Some [[ChaosIsEvil Chaos]] [[LesCollaborateurs Traitor Guards]] happen to be numbered 666, such as the [[https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/666th_Regiment_of_Foot 666th Regiment of Foot]] (loyal to [[JackOfAllTrades Chaos Undivided]]) and the [[https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Cadian_666th Cadian 666th]] (loyal to [[WarGod Khorne]]). |

| 344 | * In ''VideoGame/SeventhDragon'' the total number of Dragons that live at the start of the game add up to 666. |
| 345 | * ''VideoGame/AceCombat'': |
| 346 | ** Galm Team from ''[[VideoGame/AceCombatZeroTheBelkanWar The Belkan War]]'' is the Ustio 6th Air Division, 66th Squadron. By the way, "Galm" is a mistranslation of "Garmr", a hellish wolf in Myth/NorseMythology that kills Tyr during the Ragnarök. And the Galm 1's call sign is "[[LouisCypher Cipher]]", in case you still didn't catch any symbolism. |
| 347 | ** The final mission of ''[[VideoGame/AceCombat04ShatteredSkies Shattered Skies]]'', appropriately a ThatOneLevel with tunnel-flying, has Mobius One start at 6666 feet. |
| 348 | * ''VideoGame/ActionTaimanin'': Yasuna Ashigaya's supporter skill is called Harima Paper Sorcery, which deals '''666%''' damage to surrounding enemies and deal another damage of the same calculation at a 50% chance once fully upgraded. This could be a reference to the term "'''Devil's''' luck", which refers to being BornLucky. Yasuna, on the other hand, being a pathological gambler and is always in constant debt due to one many losses, is actually BornUnlucky. |
| 349 | * In chapter 5 of ''VideoGame/AliceMadnessReturns'', a wall in the Dolltown Cellar[[note]]in the room with the glass floor with hazards underneath[[/note]] has 666 affixed to it. |
| 350 | * ''VideoGame/ANNOMutationem'': Pyrofist, an opponent at Harbor Town's [[GladiatorSubquest arena]], has 666 appear on his armor when he's charging up to generate a [[PlayingWithFire fire blast]]. |
| 351 | * ''VideoGame/AsheronsCall'' featured an event boss, Bael'zharon, who when inspected, was level 666. There is also the White Rabbit, who has 666 in every stat (and [[GameBreaker instant-kills you]] when you inspect it.) |
| 352 | * In ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIII'', the cambion Raphael has a total of 666 hit points, making him [[ThatOneBoss one of the most difficult bosses to kill]] in the game. |
| 353 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'', there's Route 666, a dangerous place where the heroine can be flattened by oncoming traffic (suffering a OneHitKill) if she's unlucky enough to end up on the wrong side while fighting enemies. |
| 354 | * ''VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine'' features a poster for a Bendy cartoon episode, "Bendy in Train Trouble." The train number is 666. |
| 355 | * ''VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac'': Benefitting the religion theme, the number 666 pops up often: |
| 356 | ** An item called the Mark resembles three sixes arranged in a pattern together, and puts these sixes on Isaac's head should he pick it up. By default, it is sold in a Devil Deal. |
| 357 | ** The item Libra grants six keys, six coins, and six bombs when picked up. |
| 358 | ** Killing [[spoiler:Mega Satan]] awards the player with 6,666 points in the game's scoring system. |

| 361 | ** The Shade item becomes absorbed in to Isaac after dealing exactly 666 damage as of ''Repentance''. |
| 362 | ** There is no item with internal ID 666. The game deliberately skips over this, going from 665 to 667. |
| 363 | * In ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'', one of the upgrades for the [[PlayingWithFire Devil's Kiss]] Vigor costs six-hundred-and-sixty-six dollars. |
| 364 | * ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' has Ragna, Nu-13 and Hazama give the line "Restriction 666 released" when activating their [[ArtifactOfDoom Azure Grimoires.]] |
| 365 | * ''VideoGame/BloodstainedRitualOfTheNight'': Todd is a man who picked up a cursed pair of scissors, transforming him into a Killer Barber demon. To break the curse, he has to give out 666 unique haircuts to people. And they have to be good ones. He can't just snip off random bits of hair and call it a new hairstyle, or else the scissors will murder the person in the barber's chair. In-game, he exists as a way to customize Miriam's appearance. Sadly, you can't free him from his curse since there are nowhere near 666 unlockable hairstyles in the game. |
| 366 | * ''VideoGame/BrawlMinus'' buffed Ganondorf's Warlock Punch to ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill levels -- from 32% damage and 102 units of knockback to ''666%'' damage and ''80,000'' units of knockback (eight times the force of Jigglypuff's shield jump). As a nod to this, the fans who choose not to call this move the Minus Warlock Punch instead call it the '''Satan Punch'''. |
| 367 | * ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'': |
| 368 | ** In ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight'', Death is level 66, the vampire Olrox and the Succubus have 666 HP, and the Malachi (which was ''supposed'' to be called Franchise/{{Cthulhu|Mythos}}) and the Fire Demon gives 666 experience points. |
| 369 | ** In {{Metroidvania}} games, Dracula typically has 6666 HP. ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia'' seemingly averts this trope by giving him 9999 HP instead. Then again, '9' is just '6' upside-down, so it's [[Double Subversion double subverted]]. |
| 370 | ** The three Dominus glyphs in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia'' CastFromHitPoints: Dominus Anger and Dominus Hatred consume 1/6 of Shanoa's HP with each attack, while Dominus Agony raises all of Shanoa's stats by 66 at the cost of 66 HP per second. |
| 371 | * ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'': |

| 375 | ** The Portal upgrade is a thinly-veiled reference to opening a {{Hellgate}}, and originally costs 1,666,666 cookies to purchase. It produces 6,666 cookies originally, and its upgrades cost 16,666,660, 166,666,600, and 1,666,666,000 |
| 376 | ** When you reach the end-stages of the [[spoiler:grandmapocalypse]], you can eventually form a covenant with the [[TheOldGods Elder Gods]], at a price of 6,666,666,666,666 cookies. |

| 380 | * ''VideoGame/TheDarksideDetective'': |

| 385 | * In ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4'', Dante gets a weapon called Pandora, which is a demonic briefcase [[SwissArmyWeapon that can transform into 666 evil forms]], which all seem to be big guns (along with its original purpose of containing all the world's evil and still holding onto hope, as its debut cutscene seems to imply). |
| 386 | * ''[[VideoGame/TheDevilsCalculator The Devil's Calculator]]'' is an {{Edutainment}} PuzzleGame that revolves around obtaining the number 666 by applying unusual functions. |
| 387 | * The title antagonist of the first ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}'' has 1,666 HP. |
| 388 | * In ''[[VideoGame/DigimonWorlddawnDusk Digimon World Dawn]]'' and ''Dusk'', the Digivolution requirements for [[spoiler:[=VenomMyotismon=]]] are level 66 with 6666 Beast experience (the game puts it, BST 6666). This is also a shout out to the anime. |
| 389 | ** Slightly more subtle, in ''VideoGame/DigimonWorldDS'' a requirement for the character is 99990 EXP, which, if viewed upside-down, reads 06666. |
| 390 | * ''VideoGame/Disgaea3AbsenceOfJustice'': |

| 397 | ** In ''VideoGame/Doom3'', there are lockers scattered around that contains items. One of them, however, contains an Imp. The locker's number goes without saying. |
| 398 | ** During the E3 presentation of the ''VideoGame/Doom2016'' game, Bethesda's representative [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiinO9JPUGw&t=34s joked]] that they internally refer to the [=IdTech=] 6 engine the game runs under as [=IdTech=] 666. In a super-obscure EasterEgg, viewing the music from the Cyberdemon BossBattle through a spectrogram reveals a repeating pattern of [=666s=] and pentagrams. |
| 399 | ** ''VideoGame/DoomEternal'': |
| 400 | *** "It's a Magic Number" is an achievement you get after you kill 666 demons. |

Additionally, Devils have 166 HP (and Arch Devils have 199, turn that upside down). |

| 423 | * ''VideoGame/KingdomRush[='=]s'' villain [[EvilSorceror Vez'Nan]] (who made a DealWithTheDevil) has this as his number motif. On Normal mode, his first form has 6666 health (which is very low for a boss), and his attack in that form deals at least 666 damage to your soldiers and heroes (which is pretty much overkill). |
| 424 | * ''VideoGame/KittensGame'': As an EasterEgg, having exactly 666 of any resource causes it to flash red. |
| 425 | * The "All the 6s" level from ''VideoGame/{{Lemmings}}''. Ironically in an inversion, It's not even close to being a [[ThatOneLevel level from hell]], though -- actually more of a BreatherLevel. |
| 426 | ** Several ports of the game replace "All the 6s" with a completely new level -- whether because of the Number Of The Beast reference or just because it's the ultimate BreatherLevel is difficult to say. |
| 427 | * In ''VideoGame/TheLogomancer'', [[BossBattle Nikolai's Regret]] has 6666 [[HitPoints willpower points]]. |

| 431 | * ''VideoGame/MaxPayne'' had a level where the access code for a different part of a lab was 665, which Max sarcastically comments as the "neighbor of the beast". In the sequel, the code to access the suites in Max's apartment is 667, and the "neighbor of the beast" line is echoed. |
| 432 | ** Both mentions are based on a recurring joke in the developers' native country of Finland. Of course, with street numbers the neighbor would be 668, but apartments need not be numbered the same way. |
| 433 | * One of the dozens of planets in ''VideoGame/{{Meteos}}'' is the PlanetHeck Jeljel which can be unlocked as playable by launching 666 Fire, Soil and Zoo meteos and 3 Dark meteos. |

| 437 | * The demon morph SuperMode from ''VideoGame/{{Painkiller}}'' is activated by Daniel's absorption of 66 souls. At least, without a powerup that reduces the number to 50. |
| 438 | ** The 666 Ammo card, obviously. However, the number on the card is written in Roman numerals (DCLXVI), which shows that the devs knew the ''value'' is important, not three sixes. |
| 439 | * ''VideoGame/OpenSorcery'': The date the "blue", a.k.a "affected by the final foe" version of the Cherry Orchard Rest Home is Oct. 666 20XX, but it's actually Nov. 1 2014. |
| 440 | * ''VideoGame/Pikmin2'': There's a [[DefangedHorrors creepy doll's head]] that's worth 670 pokos; in the Japanese game, it's worth 666. |
| 441 | * ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Giratina]], Sinnoh myth's SatanicArchetype, has six armored plates below its head, six spikes on its wings, and six legs in Altered Forme, evoking this trope. |
| 442 | * In ''VideoGame/PonyIsland'', the number 666 shows up all over the place. Of note are several loading sequences where the percentages reach 666% before 100%. |
| 443 | * TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon in ''VideoGame/{{Purple}}'' has a prominent 666 on its entrance [[DieChairDie which you can freely break]]. The game in general uses {{Satan}} motif shamelessly. |
| 444 | * The original ''VideoGame/{{Quake}}'' features a power-up called the [[InvincibilityPowerUp Pentagram of Protection]], which puts a red 666 on your armor counter, although that's just for symbolic and aesthetic purposes -- your health will not go down while this power-up is active, and anything that tries to spawn at your position will be reverse telefragged. Note that your armor will still take damage if you have any on. |
| 445 | * Beelzebub from ''VideoGame/RagnarokOnline'' has a starting HP of 6,666,666 HP. And he looks like a Steel Chon Chon. Changing to his true form gives him more HP. |
| 446 | * Appears in ''VideoGame/RealmGrinder'', in particular with anything that involves the Demon faction, such as a Challenge reward of more mana from 6.66% of the most expensive building's amount. |
| 447 | ** The Diabolical Evil Trophy is unlocked after 666 hours of time spent playing Evil. |
| 448 | * ''VideoGame/RidgeRacer'': |

| 450 | ** One of the alternate liveries for the Soldat Crinale in ''Ridge Racer 6'' has the racing number 666. |
| 451 | * ''VideoGame/RuneScape[='=]s'' VampireMonarch Lowerniel Drakan has a combat level of 666. He's also one of the most evil characters in the game and responsible for turning [[TheGoodKingdom Hallowvale]] into its [[CrapsackWorld current state]] as a [[IndustrializedEvil blood farm]]. |
| 452 | * In ''VideoGame/SagaFrontier'', the Pain Doubler spell under Zamza's Evil Magic library deals 666 damage... which sucks quite a bit since the average damage in the game is four digits. Of course, when used on the player, it can be a death sentence, since max HP tops out at 999. |
| 453 | * In the ''VideoGame/SaintsRow'' series, Stilwater's "The Krunch" and Steelport's "The Blood" are both hard rock and metal radio stations that broadcast at 106.66 FM. [[note]]In the first game, it was just 106.6, but close enough.[[/note]] |

| 455 | * ''VideoGame/SecretOfMana'' has the [[TheDragon Dark Lich]], who has 6,666 HP. |
| 456 | * 666 appears hilariously often in ''VideoGame/SEUMSpeedrunnersFromHell''; from the maximum completion, to a secret level between 66 and 67, in the name of some achievements etc. |
| 457 | * In ''VideoGame/SevensCode'', the song "Kimi to Mita Yume" has 666 notes in its Simple-Master and Chaos-Master charts [[spoiler:as is befitting of a group of seven idols who are also representatives of the SevenDeadlySins]]. |

| 461 | ** Satan's design has '''6''' arms, '''6''' wings, and '''6''' breasts. |
| 462 | ** In a display of grand irony, one of the DLC bosses in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV'' is [[spoiler:ArchangelMichael]], who, despite who he obviously works for, has an attack that inflicts a fixed 666 HP of damage. |
| 463 | ** Defeating the Demi-Fiend, a DLC boss in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiV'', nets you 666,666 Macca. |
| 464 | * ''VideoGame/SimplestRPG'': If there's a creature related to devils, chances are its stats will be based on these numbers. For example, Hellhound has 666666 HP and 66666 ATK, and Angry Demon has 166666666 HP and 66666666 ATK. |
| 465 | * Getting a {{combo|s}} of 6 hits in ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'' is "Naughty", 66 is "Devilish", 616 is "Infernal", and 666 is "Diabolical". |
| 466 | * In the [[{{Woolseyism}} English version]] of ''VisualNovel/{{Snatcher}}'', the date of "[[AfterTheEnd the Catastrophe]]" was moved from June 6th, 1991 (6/6/1991) to June 6th, 1996 (6/6/1996). |
| 467 | * ''VideoGame/SNKVsCapcomSVCChaos'' has an overall cast of 33 characters, with 663 pre-battle dialogues for each of them... okay, not '''each''', because Athena and Red Arremer have no dialogues between each other or their clones whatsoever. If they would be, though, it would result in a straight 666. [[CrapsackWorld May be excuseable.]] [[MoneyDearBoy Or maybe not.]] |
| 468 | * In the ''VideoGame/SonicDreamsCollection'' minigame "My Roommate Sonic," your cell phone only has the bottom six buttons on it, and the top row is nothing but 6's. |
| 469 | * In ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'' we have the BigBad [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Solaris]], a sun god whose initial form upon being fused together features '''six''' stones on his back, '''six''' wings, and '''six''' horn pieces on his head. Note that this is a character whose raw power and cunning mind were separated into [[AlmightyIdiot a beast]] and a false prophet [[LouisCypher named after the Muslim devil and a pun on Mephistopheles respectively]]. |
| 470 | * In ''VideoGame/SpacePiratesAndZombies'', the ship known as the Brute (one of the strongest ships available from the Bounty Hunter faction) has 666 base health. |
| 471 | * In ''VideoGame/Splatoon2''[='=]s RhythmGame mode Squid Beatz 2, the chart "[[https://youtu.be/bg3hEkFzN4k Splattack! (Octo)]]" on Hard mode has the highest note count in the game, at exactly 666. That alone should give you an idea of [[ThatOneLevel what kind of hell you’ll put your digits through]] should you attempt it. |
| 472 | * The TrueFinalBoss of ''VideoGame/{{Stacklands}}'' has 666 HP, fitting for [[spoiler:the Demon Lord.]] |

| 474 | -->''"[[LampshadeHanging How many zombies? How does 666 sound, fear friends? Because it sounds like a candy-ass pile of crap to us! 666 is where we STARTED. But where we ended was MORE THAN EIGHT HUNDRED! That said, we're still calling it "Wave 666", because we asked Glenn Danzig and he said that sounded way more badass than "Wave More Than Eight Hundred".]]"'' |
| 475 | -->-- '''[[http://www.teamfortress.com/blizzbobarrabas/ Promotional description for Wave 666]]''' |
| 476 | ** The amount of enemies is actually 911 robots and 9 tanks, and additional Spies and Snipers which continuously spawn for as long as you play. |
| 477 | ** The description for the Spooky Shoes claims their size is 666. Outside of Hell, that's 5 1/2 in men's, resulting in "the agonizing terror of tiny man feet". |
| 478 | * ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' pokes fun at it a few times. In ''Imperishable Night's'' Extra Stage, the requirement for obtaining the last Extend you can gain from point items is 666 point items, the next being an impossible 9999 requirement. More fittingly, [[http://i.imgur.com/dLB968k.png an adequately trained player will often run into Keine in her beast form with the number on screen]]. Clearing the Extra Stage also gives you a Clear score of 66600000. |
| 479 | ** Also in ''Subterranean Animism'', Parsee mocks Marisa and Alice's [[WrongGenreSavvy RPG trope discussion]] by claiming that her bridge is "Floor 666 of the Underground Skyscraper". In ''Double Spoiler'', getting pictures of the shapeshifting hellcat Rin Kaenbyou in cat form gets you a bonus of 666 points. |

| 486 | * ''VideoGame/TheWonderful101'': MirrorBoss and recurring threat Prince Vorkken's Danger Quotient is listed as 666%[[note]]This is only visible in the postgame gallery, as in his introduction cutscene, his Danger Quotient is simply listed as unknown[[/note]]. Most of his other stats are filled with 6s as well. Not only does this fit with his group's status as a powerful EvilCounterpart to the Wonderful Ones, it follows the pattern of bosses having Danger Quotients whose first digit matches the operation they're fought in -- Vorkken's final battle is the boss fight of Operation 006. |
| 487 | * ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'': |
| 488 | ** At one point, [[MemeticBadass Hogger]] had 666 health. |
| 489 | ** There is a statue of a serpent in Zangarmarsh with 666 in its scales. However, it was far more common during ''The Burning Crusade'' and ''Wrath of the Lich King'' expansions than it is now. In fact, there was a warlock spell that did 666 base damage, but that has since been changed. There were also icons for warlock and demon spells with stylized 666's in them, these have all been removed. |

| 500 | [[/folder]] |
| 501 | |
| 502 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 503 | * ''Webcomic/CaseyAndAndy'' ended with strip #666. Appropriate, given that one of the main characters is Satan [[strike:him]]herself. |
| 504 | * ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent's'' 666th strip featured a non-canon "[[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=666 spontaneous metal interlude]]". Jeph Jacques had ''quite'' some fun drawing it (the strip is even titled "I've Been Waiting Three Years For This Strip). |
| 505 | * ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'''s 666th strip (officially #00666) [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff700/fv00666.htm sees Florence pondering the choice between good and evil]]. |
| 506 | * In ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' {{Satan}} is the father of a litter of incredibly evil, violent kittens (nicknamed The Evil). There are 18 of them, because 18 is equal to 6+ 6+ 6. |
| 507 | * ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': |
| 508 | ** [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0631.html According to Qarr]], the application form for a DealWithTheDevil is 666 pages long. Subverted with the IFCC's address, which is "9 Hells Plaza, Lower Planes 00999". |
| 509 | ** Had two extra strips not been added to commemorate the deaths of ''D&D'''s co-creators, ''[=OotS=]'' #666 would have featured a scene of three fiends revealing their diabolical intentions to a fourth. |
| 510 | * In ''Webcomic/{{Blip}}'', strip #666 features the very ominous arrival of [[http://blip.rampagenetwork.com/666/ some kind of demon-baby]]. |
| 511 | * The author of ''Webcomic/SequentialArt'' would like to point out that he's much too mature and classy to include some arbitrary and random occult references in his [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=666 666-th strip]]. |
| 512 | * ''Webcomic/AnsemRetort'' Season 7 [[http://www.ansemretort.org/ansemretort/index.html?comic=666 ended]] on this exact strip number. As did the use of Comic Sans in the comic. [[spoiler: And AR's dominance of RealityTV since Season 6, with the premiere of rival show Shibuya Shore.]] |
| 513 | * A customer in ''Webcomic/MikeBookseller'' finds that his purchase totals to $6.66. He... [[http://www.krrobar.com/mikebookseller/comics/392.html doesn't take it terribly well]]. |
| 514 | * ''Webcomic/TurnSignalsOnALandRaider'' strip #667 depicts the comic being discontinued, and is just there so the comic wouldn't end on strip #666. |
| 515 | * After Black Mage is usurped from the throne of Hell in ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'', Motoya's crystal ball clears up and shows her the winning lotto numbers she wanted, which are 6-1-6. |

| 517 | * In ''Webcomic/{{Adventurers}}'', an EnemyScan shows that Eternion has [[http://adventurers.keenspot.com/d/20031216.html 666666 HP and 66666 MP]]. |

| 521 | ** The FinalBattle takes place across the entirety of Act 6 Act 6 Act 6, which concludes Act 6 as a whole. The Flash for the battle, [S] Collide, is exactly 18(6+6+6)minutes long. |
| 522 | * ''Webcomic/{{Sparklecare}}'': When Barry runs from Dr. Doom, all the colorful doors in the hallway he runs through are numbered "666", just to hammer in the fact that this is a CrapsaccharineWorld. |
| 523 | * A ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' strip dealt with Tycho trying to convince his mom that a patent number of 060606 isn't meant to represent the number. [[https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2020/05/11/hell-2 He was wrong.]] |
| 524 | [[/folder]] |
| 525 | |
| 526 | [[folder:Web Originals]] |
| 527 | * ''WebVideo/AMVHell Championship Edition'' was released on June 6, 2006. |
| 528 | * Both used and subverted in the ''Website/SCPFoundation''. [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-616 SCP-616]] is a hellish door with a strong BrownNote effect and vaguely specified "bad things" happening when it opens, but [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-666 SCP-666]] seems slightly more benign. There's also [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-666-and-a-half-j SCP-666½-J]], called the Roaring Flames of Hell, but it's just a dinner entrée; it sets off apocalypses (yes, multiple) [[LethalChef in one's intestines]]. |
| 529 | * In v4 ''Roleplay/OpenBlue'', the date of the foundation of the [[TheFederation Axifloan Coalition]] is June 6th, 1666. In v5, that day is when Princess Elizabeth of Avelia is assassinated, prompting the three largest members of the Coalition to secede and declare war on one another. Most people in-universe consider it the day the Coalition ended (even though it still exists if weakened). |
| 530 | * In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR1_epbmI2g The Number 24]], a trailer spoofing ''Film/TheNumber23'', one of the professor's random associations is: "Two plus four is six. What's the number between two and four? Three. Three sixes, ''the sign of the devil!''" |
| 531 | * In [[WebVideo/RedLetterMedia Mr. Plinkett's]] review of ''Franchise/StarWars Episode III: Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', when he got to talk about Order 66, he pretended to be George Lucas and decided that the Kill E'm All code phrase should be "an evil-sounding number". At first he considered "666" but rejected it because he thought it was "too obvious." |
| 532 | * The Halloween episode of ''WebAnimation/BowsersKingdom'' was titled episode 666. |
| 533 | * The footage from LetsPlay/MarioPartyTV adds a StaggeredZoom and ScareChord whenever it appears someone is about to roll three sixes. |
| 534 | ** It was first invoked when a player had six stars and sixty-six coins. |
| 535 | ** [[SixIsNine This is also done when someone rolls three nines on 6's Snowflake Lake.]] |
| 536 | ** When Holms, playing Birdo, managed to do ''both'' (he rolled three sixes, and the bonus coins he got for that put Birdo at six stars and sixty-six coins), Steeler concluded that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G991BLr-nzs Birdo was the devil.]] (Warning: swearing in the video) |
| 537 | * Several ''Website/NotAlwaysRight'' stories show customers buying extra things upon checkout if their total is $6.66. "[[http://notalwaysright.com/cookies-are-the-devil/ Well, I guess that's the Lord's way of telling us to get dessert!]]" |
| 538 | * [[https://www.sanitarium.net/jokes/getjoke.cgi?156 Numbers of the Beast]] (the gag list can't ever be conclusive, feel free to add). |
| 539 | * * ''WebVideo/{{Numberphile}}'': The video, [[https://youtu.be/UkZqFtYtqaI "666"]]. |
| 540 | [[/folder]] |
| 541 | |
| 542 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 543 | * ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': When Stan is worried that his adopted grandson Nemo is the anti-christ, he checks him for the mark. He ends up finding a 66 but is relieved to find the next number 2, then he sees a he has a +4 after that. Cue ScareChord. |
| 544 | * In an ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'' episode "The Cloning" the channel number that the cursed TV is playing is channel six sixty six. Another episode included the Satanic sandwich "The Broodwich", which, among other horrifying ingredients, was, "layered with six-hundred and sixty-six separate meats from an animal which has maggots for blood!" |
| 545 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode "The Honking", Bender sees the binary number 0101100101 written on the wall and is unfazed, calling it "gibberish" (it's 357 with an unnecessary leading zero). Then he sees it in a mirror and realises it's 1010011010, which is 666. |
| 546 | * Parodied in ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'', when the characters (Except for the titular dog, who is forced to sleep outside because of the No Dogs Allowed Rule) book a room at Hotel Katz, they are given room number 666½. |
| 547 | * In ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'', the Illuminati is divided into thirty-six ranks. The leader is the only One, there are two Twos, three Threes, etc. Guess how many members that equals in total. |
| 548 | * An episode of ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' ended with the character [[{{Satan}} Peaches]] playing with a paddle ball. He says, "664, 665" and then he misses and has to start all over. |
| 549 | ** Furthermore in the episode "Hef in a Handbasket", the number to apply for Peaches' game show Triple 6 is "555 and THEN A BUNCH OF SIXES," the show is broadcast on channel 66, and Heffer needs to score 666 points to "win." |
| 550 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': |
| 551 | ** The "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E5TreehouseOfHorrorIII Treehouse of Horror III]]" segment "Dial 'Z' For Zombie" had Lisa and Bart going through the occult section of a library. Dewey Decimal System designation? 666. (For the curious, the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_Dewey_Decimal_classes actual designation]] would be 130 or 133. 666 is assigned to "ceramic and allied technologies".) |
| 552 | ** In the opening of "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E4TreehouseOfHorrorVIII Treehouse of Horror VIII]]", a cheerful Fox Censor tells the viewers that the episode is rated TV-G, only for the ratings box to sprout an arm holding a knife and stab him, and turn to TV-PG. The stabbing continued, going to TV-14, TV-MA, TV-21, and finally, TV-666. (Those last two aren't real ratings, of course. The ''actual'' rating for the episode was TV-PG.) |
| 553 | ** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS31E4TreehouseOfHorrorXXX Treehouse of Horror XXX]]" [[MilestoneCelebration is the 666th episode of the series]], and opens with a parody of ''Film/TheOmen''. |
| 554 | * In the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes short ''A Pest in the House'', hotel bellhop Daffy Duck continually disturbs the tired guest who's staying in Room 666 in his efforts to get some shut-eye. |
| 555 | ** It was probably chosen not for symbolism, but because it has a lot of "s" sounds for Daffy to lisp. |
| 556 | * In the first episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'', Huey tries to convince the guests at Ed Wuncler's garden party that UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan is the Devil by pointing out that Ronald, Wilson, and Reagan each have six letters in them. Therefore, 666. However, this just makes him look "adorable" to the guests. |
| 557 | ** The [[ComicStrip/TheBoondocks comic strip]] had a similar joke about SantaClaus. Huey evidently went through several possible "proofs" before landing on the fact that the date of Santa's annual errand, December 24th, adds up to 36 when expressed numerically. [[InsaneTrollLogic 36 = 3 6's!]] |
| 558 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Wakfu}}'': |
| 559 | ** Episode 4 of season 1: In the flashback showing the backstory of the Ugly Princesses, there is such a long line of princes wanting to woo them that they use a "TakeANumber" device. Then comes the god Osamodas, who picks number 666 before laying a curse on the disrespectful princesses. |
| 560 | ** In episode 9 of season 2, some of the protagonists are trapped in the Shushu world. They are forced to invoke the Rush, the favorite pastime of the Shushu, in order to avoid immediate execution. The Rush pits them against [[ZergRush 666 pyralshus]] until they fall. And to make ''sure'' they fall, Rushu also sends his [[TheDragon Dragon]] Anathar into the fray. |
| 561 | * The ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' season 1 episode "Damien" manages to sneak in a couple of visual references. At the very start of the episode, a group of number magnets on the wall have three red sixes next to each other, and the chalkboard has a sum that adds up to 666. |
| 562 | * In ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' episode "Wishbones", Grim says that this robe has gone through "665 washings, and it still stinks of the ages!" |
| 563 | * Subverted in ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'', where the Blood Moon Ball, which is celebrated in the underworld, takes place once every 667 years. Also, Marco's [[ItMakesSenseInContext Dragon-Motorcycle]] has "667" on its number plate. According to the creators, they wanted both cases to be played straight, but Disney wouldn't allow it. |
| 564 | * Amanda from ''WesternAnimation/BunsenIsABeast'' subverts this every now and then, such as when she claimed that her makeovers for her class photo cost her $667. |
| 565 | * In ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvaniaTheSeries'', episode "Buggin Out", Mavis delivers room service to a room only to realize that the card was upside down, as it was actually supposed to be delivered to room 999 (for a second you can actually see 666 on the card). In another episode, Mavis' uncle mentions room 665B. |
| 566 | * ''WesternAnimation/DrZitbagsTransylvaniaPetShop'': |
| 567 | ** The episode "Grime Doesn't Pay" has Officer Deadbeat entrusted with keeping a criminal named Fingers Malone locked up, who is first referred to as Prisoner 666. |
| 568 | ** In "Kangaroo Caught", Dr. Zitbag finds that he has the winning lottery ticket as Number 666. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, it wasn't a cash prize.]] |
| 569 | * ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'': "Birthmark" gives us a more subtle example. It is Raven's Dangerous16thBirthday, where she is concerned about the prophecy concerning her demonic father, and we open with her laying on her bed staring at a clock, saying, "6 p.m. Just six more hours and it will all be over. Six more hours." She probably didn't notice that she said the number 6 thrice. |
| 570 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/TUFFPuppy'' episode "T.U.F.F. Choices", the Indecision Ray that Snaptrap buys from the Chameleon is shown to have the price of $666.66. |
