Doom is a series of first-person shooter video games, notorious for graphic violence and hellish imagery. The first game in the series is widely credited with defining and popularizing the FPS genre. The Brothers Chaps have made several references in the Homestar Runner body of work to the series, especially the first two games and Cacodemons, the floating one-eyed demon foes that appear in the game.
Appearances
- Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer — The ending snort made by Trogdor is from the Demon monster.
- Email secret identity — "Initiate sbemail-refresh daemon" is a reference to "Init DOOM refresh daemon", a line of code from the original game.
- Email alternate universe — Strong Bad remarks that his alternate universe portal will release Cacodemons.
- strongbad_email.exe Disc Five — If the viewer waits too long to select a toon, a Cacodemon appears, and Strong Bad comments on it. The text that appears after it is also a modified version of the DooM font.
- Jibblies 2 — Pom Pom dresses up as a Cacodemon for Halloween.
- Email specially marked — "Blue Laser Blasts!" uses the DooM font, which is based off of the font used in Doom.
- Strong Bad Classics! (and its teaser) — Strong Bad changes the text to have the ocelot say, "You must find a husband by sunrise or Doom 2 bad guys will come out of my ears!" and changes the image to show a Mancubus, a Baron of Hell/Hell knight, and a Lost soul doing just that.
- @StrongBadActual tweet (12 Feb 2020) — Strong Bad shared a GIF of an ASCII art "cackledemon" (which he clarified as his intentional mispronunciation of "Cacodemon").
- Disk 4 of 12 - FriendlyWare — Strong Bad complains the Killer Maze had no Med Packs or Ammo Clips collects and should have at least provided an ASCII Cacodemon as a reward.
Doom WADs
The Brothers Chaps also make several references to .WAD files. An abbreviation for Where's All the Data?, these file packages are typically fanmade mods for Doom that include new levels, graphics, and other game data. WADs are portrayed as functioning with many various programs, although in reality they are only usable by the Doom engine.
- Email secret identity — Strong Bad checks his email by running "strongbad_email.wad".
- SBCG4AP Advertisement — Strong Bad runs a program called "strongbad3Dtotal.wad", a simple 3D game.
- Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People — In the Wii version, Strong Bad uses several wad files to run the game in the channel intros.
