That was pretty much the funniest thing I played, almost as funny as "The Sky may be" or "How not to be seen". The most funny things are

(DON'T READ THAT BEFORE YOU'VE PLAYED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111oneone)
[spoiler]the monsters killing themselves, or how UBER things have to be used to create a Health Potion. lol[/spoiler]

Great work xD

Hehehe... I didn't laugh during the whole thing! HAH!

But yes, this was one of the best jokewads I played. Too bad it wasn't longer.

I'm not a big fan of joke wads TBH, (in fact, I hate them) so my opinion is propably biased.
However I didn't laugh, nor did I find anything funny in the map (except for maybe the big machinery that only spits out a single health bonus)...
the one thing that totally annoyed me was the frequently played sound of a laughing audience, it just felt awkward.

As I said, i'm not into joke wads, so this map is propably a pretty good attempt at such, but I didn't like it at all :P

I liked the ending :p I had to laugh about it, there where an couple more things that made me laugh like with the teleporters and that demon that got killed by its own stupidity.

WTF you didn't laugh at all? Damn, I need to get somewhat more serious about some things. lol Even the start made me laugh, it was just so... dunno, it was so stupid that it just made me laugh. All time thru that map I was going:":lol: (my face)"

But, yes, too bad it wasn't longer.

Well, as i said I generally dislike jokewads... there're maybe one or two that I enjoyed, but i can't even remember their names.
Maybe I just fail at this kid of humor :wink:

No one MUST like joke WADs, it's humor with you have to be born with, and I laugh about almost anything. ;) Everyone is individual and likes different things, so it isn't that bad if you don't like them. :D

I'm sorry, but this wins just on the behalf of the laugh track. I mean, it's so horribly out of place and random, it's freakin' hilarious on its own. Oh, don't get me wrong, I *hate* laugh tracks... that's why it's so damn funny here. XD

I'd love to see a "Doom: The Sitcom" now. Good idea, bad idea? :P

I'm glad it was as short as it was - it's the perfect length. I liked it a lot, and I feel that if it were any longer, the humor would have been stretched too thin.

Well, I was going to name it that way ;) but seing as it redicules rather Doomy elements I've went with the Parody. Feel free to use the laugh tracks. Just remember to credit the "fat guy" and "weird woman" :?

I agree actually. Other ideas I had for it felt rather forced and not so funny. Maybe one idea, where monsters telefrag each other in one spot until the cyberdemon is finally telefragged by a health potion was worth implementing, but meh.. lazyness.

Thanks for the comments everyone! Glad most of you liked it :D

That was brilliant! I never laughed this much since Mock2

I love Joke Wads, and I hope you see mine (a DM one, Fallwad) in the ZDaemon!

Congratullations!

Well.. thanks :happy:
Remarkable how some favour it considering I spent mere 2 days on it.
