History Funny / DoomEternal

* Dr. Helena's logs. At first she's hear trying to understand Doomguy as a scientist. By the fourth and last one, she pretty much sounds like Doomguy's biggest fangirl.

* While moving through Samuel Hayden's new office at the ARC HQ, you find that something's finally gotten the better of him and [[HalftheManHeUsedtoBe torn him in half]]. He's alive - though barely - and the UAC's been trying to jump-start him again, though because of his own design philosophy behind the tech being so top-secret, his own workers can't even access it. The Slayer's response is to sternly tear his body away from the harness it's in, and toss him into a portal so Vega can try his hand at getting Sam up. There's also a bit of karma involved since Abraham Peters, the protagonist of Doom VFR, got torn in half and then eventually had his consciousness deleted by Samuel. It bears mentioning, that Samuel took the exact same wounds on his body as Abraham did, losing his right arm and lower body.

* The Doom Slayer firing himself from a huge cannon to get to another demon-infested portion of the UAC Mars base blown up into space. The hilarious but also awesome thing is that when you watch the gameplay, you're getting excited at the Doom Slayer being able to use such a large weapon. Then when he gets to the cannon and prepares to fire it manually, he takes a moment to look at the projectile about to be loaded in...walks up and kicks it out, and [[HumanCannonball puts himself into the barrel]]. When he gets inside and has VEGA fire it, he streaks across the sky around Phobos like a rage-filled missile, smashes through the wall of the base, and lands while cracking the floor with only a slight stumble, as if he wasn't just launched at high-velocity speeds.

** Repeat, this is ''immediately after'' Mars' surface was rearranged, and it's more worried about the ''handheld'' BFG than the interplanetary cannon, and it suggests relocating to the surface of ''Mars'' - ''[[ShatteredWorld the surface that the Doom Slayer just wrecked]]''. Either the base A.I. [[WhoWouldBeStupidEnough never thought that a possibility]], or it decided that between a BFG-wielding Doom Slayer and a ShatteredWorld crawling with demons... that the Doom Slayer ''actually is'' the greater threat in this case.

* A flashback details what happened when Doomguy first arrived in Sentinel Prime. The very first lines we hear him speak are rambling mutterings on ripping and tearing, along with the phrase, "Guts... huge guts..." That implies the [[{{Comicbook/Doom}} comic book]] ''is officially canon now.''

* In the first few Codex entries, we're given a map of Earth, showing how infested with demons certain parts of the world are... but [[AwesomeAussie Australia is untouched]]. [[RefugeInAudacity Even Hell knows when it's outmatched, it seems.]]

-->''The sting of the Slayer's abominable arsenal casts fear into the lowest of our kin. It's blazing barrels of brimstone spew his vitriol and loathing upon us, and cast our brethren to the dirt. Mark the venom of his chosen apparatus of agony, the Diabolical Musket, Lucifer's Bane; it's claw of pig iron gouging the flesh of the martyr and hurrying him upon us. Curse the name of his beloved treasure. Curse the Hell Walker's device of torment. [[ToThePain We shall cast it unto the smelter and gild his entrails with the slurry.]]''

* At the end of the Super Gore Nest, the ComputerVoice states that the nest is about to self-destruct... and informs personnel, "please save your work and walk calmly to the exit".

** Pulling a Glory Kill on an Archvile from the right: he tries to catch the Slayer off guard by attacking him with one of his enormous claws, having [[DeliberateInjuryGambit faked a stagger in order to get him closer]]... [[PunchCatch only for the Slayer to catch it]]. The Archvile can only react with its determined grimace quickly deflating into a look of ''[[OhCrap immediate]]'' regret, moments before he gets stabbed through the head.

** One Glory Kill involving a Marauder has him pull a PunchCatch and looking rather pleased... [[DidntThinkThisThrough except this punch is being delivered by the arm with the Doomblade attached]]. Extend blade, face stabbed.

* The [=E3=] story trailer opens with a sinister voice whispering ''"Why are you here?"'' [[AnswerCut Cut to the Doom Slayer...]] [[DemonSlaying cutting a demon in half with a chainsaw.]] AskAStupidQuestion Hell, the fact that the story trailer ''starts'' with a [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe demon being chainsawed in half]] is chuckle-worthy by itself. Again, Doomguy gives no shits about id Software's damn story, and id knows it!

* Creator/MatthewMercer ran a ''WebVideo/CriticalRole '' one-shot of a ''Doom Eternal''-themed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CX8I4M7MPo4 tabletop game]] in partnership with Bethesda. It's both funny and awesome. Warning: it's also three-and-a-half hours long.[[note]]Joining him as players were Creator/TaliesinJaffe, Anjali Bhimani, Jasmine Bhullar, Creator/SamRiegel, and Creator/LauraBailey, and featuring a Samuel Hayden voiced (and ad-libbed) by Creator/DarinDePaul himself![[/note]]

* The Doom Slayer now owns a collection of magazines and books within the Fortress of Doom. This collection [[PunnyName includes gems such as]]: [[Literature/HowToWinFriendsAndInfluencePeople How to Win Friends and Kill Demons]], [[Literature/AtlasShrugged Atlas Ripped and Teared]], [[Literature/ThePictureOfDorianGray The Picture of Dorian Slay]], [[Literature/TheCatcherInTheRye The Caco in the Rye]], [[Literature/NineteenEightyFour 1984 Dead Demons]], [[Literature/AnimalFarm Demon Farm]], [[Literature/TheVeryHungryCaterpillar The Very Hungry Cacodemon]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_of_Positive_Thinking The Power of Positive Ripping and Tearing]], [[Literature/TheArtOfWar The Art of Rip and Tear]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Stop_Worrying_and_Start_Living How to Stop Worrying and Start Slaying]], [[Literature/TheManInTheHighCastle The Man in the High Argent Tower]], [[Literature/TheGrapesOfWrath The Guts of Wrath]], [[Literature/TheGivingTree The Ripping Tree]], My Best Friend, Daisy, [[Literature/SlaughterhouseFive Slayerhouse Five]], [[Literature/DonQuixote Don Slayote]], [[Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey Fifty Shades of Slay]], and [[Film/EatPrayLove EAT, RIP, TEAR]].

** Speaking of the Crucible, its other counterpart, the Sentinel Hammer, can be brought down upon ememies... giving them [[CirclingBirdies little stars circling above their heads as they're dazed]] the moment it strikes them, complete with glowing trails behind the stars and [[WackySoundEffect a dizzy-sounding noise]] as the cherry on top. The fact that not even the ''[[GreaterScopeVillain Dark Lord of Hell himself]]'' is immune to this makes it even ''more'' laugh-out-loud hilarious to begin with.

* The official release of the soundtrack features a few bonus tracks. One of them is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iimpXmdOU4 "You Can't Just Shoot A Hole Into The Surface Of"]], which starts off with Hayden's [[MemeticMutation memetic]] [[AscendedMeme line]], capped off by an excerpt of "[[JustForPun BFG Division]]".

** It eventual came full circle with the Doom Slayer appearing in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate''... as a Mii Gunner costume. More specifically, the last costume for the entire game. Even though he's only in it as a Mii costume, the fact that he's even in it at all means that fans can live the dream of the Doom Slayer and Isabelle being together in Smash at long last.

** Amusingly as much as Hayden is as incredulously opposed to the Slayer's ideas and intents as last time, there's also a hint of indignant acceptance that he knows that no matter what he says that the Slayer marches to the beat of his own drum, will do whatever he thinks he needs to in order to complete the mission, and fuck whatever objections anyone has to the methods. In the end, he just wordlessly accepts and settles into his role as mission control.

** The scene that starts the Phobos mission. The Doom Slayer needs a way to get to the core of Mars in order to reach Sentinel Prime and the final Hell Priest, which Samuel Hayden says will take some time - time the Slayer does not have. Cue the Doom Slayer running a search and finding schematics of the BFG-10000, the huge-ass WaveMotionGun Hayden himself designed as part of Phobos's anti-demonic defense grid. And then Hayden [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe realizes just what the Doom Slayer is planning]]:

** Once you do blow a hole in Mars, the automated warnings notify all personnel to evacuate to the surface of Mars since you have control of the BFG-9000. To emphasize, they ''saw'' ''this'' ''coming'' clearly enough to program automated warnings for exactly this scenario, knowing how unavoidable it would eventually be!

* [[EvilInc The UAC continues to be as blatant as ever]], complete with informative holograms trying to get humans used to living with demons and [[PoliticalOvercorrectness informing humans to call them]] "[[InsistentTerminology mortally challenged]]" ([[PoliticallyCorrectVillain as the term "demon" is offensive]]), along with claiming Earth is the melting pot of the universe. [[FireAndBrimstoneHell Emphasis on melting]], one could say.

* The fact that the DLC can be basically described thusly: "The Doom Slayer gives the Devil (well God) an ass so he can kick it.
