Any Jokewads That Are Actually Funny?


Recommended Posts

All too many times we find submissions of self-described "jokewads" that are about as funny as watching LiveLeak or an Adam Sandler movie. Jokewad has pretty much became synonymous with "shittiest lowest-effort, bottom-of-the-barrel junk", but I do wonder... What are the fabled, almost mythical good jokewads out there that actually can get a chuckle out of someone? They must be exceedingly rare, I only know a few, so I ask my fellow Doomworld members: what are some of those good jokewads out there?

 

Personally, one I enjoyed very much was Plutonia 7. I also know about Mock 2 and it's status as a classic, but I don't know how well it might have aged. Some slightly more serious ones like that "Sunder for people who don't have time to play Sunder", or "Doom 2 In Spain Only" are actually pretty kickass, but they might not fit completely in the jokewad mould.

You've heard of Plutonia 7, but there's also TNT: Threevilution. There are maps in Poogers, Twogers, the D5DA series, the Junkfood series, and GOODWAD that I would consider to be funny, though I wouldn't consider the WADs as a whole to be "jokewads."

Ludicrium and The Revenant Problem.

 

There's also a sort of "high-effort jokewad" genre where some sort of absolutely ludicrous gag concept is played out overa set of actually-well-designed proper maps. You've already mentioned SNDR and D2ISO, but I'd also like to toss out Tarnsman's Projectile Hell as another must-play in the "genre."

There was this one called Doom 2 Changed that while often quite funny, had its moments (I'm thinking of this one map called "Mr. Sex" as an example)

Endless Madness,perfect wad that have balance between joke and epic.And sometimes it's hard. 

 This is the one I was going to say as well! Its so much more than a joke wad and showcases some really neat special effects.

Not to self-advertise or anything, but the only comments on the new jokewad I've made say that it's pretty funny, idk.
 


Anyways, uhh... Actual jokewads that aren't my own... Linear Doom comes to mind. It's funny on a first playthrough, at the very least.
