The '''Broternal Order of Different Helmets (BODH)''' is a secret society headed by [[Homestar Runner]], the "Supreme Overlord", though [[Strong Bad]] attempts to gain control of the group at least once a week. Each of the members wears a different helmet, and the organization holds meetings in [[The Bar]]. [[Bubs]], as the treasurer, invents new ways to misappropriate funds. Their activities open with their frothy, shanty chant, Ever and More, and also include a secret handshake. The exact movements of this handshake are unknown, as it is demonstrated by Homestar and the King of Town, both of whom [[Lack of Visible Arms|lack visible arms]]; however, it may not require arms at all as evidenced later on by [[Strong Bad]] and [[The Cheat]]. The Order is run by majority rule.

The Broternal Order of Different Helmets is an overt reference to Freemasonry. It is a fraternal order dedicated to Brotherhood, and is famous for it's use of Secret Handshakes. Also words like Brother of Town, Treasurer Bubs , and Supreme Overlord Brotherstar Runnerbrother are equal to such Masonic Lodge Officers as Brother, Treasurer, Secretary, and Worshipful Master. Even the different hats they wear are exactly the same as Masonic Regalia.
