World of Warcraft was recently listed as one of
the top gainers in Google's 2005 year-end zeitgeist, which
means that awareness of the game is increasing, and not just with gamers. The people at Jeopardy have included the game in answers
for the show, and the popular comic strip Foxtrot, recently referenced World of Warcraft in a
strip.Filed under: Odds and ends

Foxtrot has actually referenced WoW alot. They had a running gag for a while about the younger kid being stuck to the game and telling his mom he was a mighty orc warrior and so didn't have to listen to her any more.

The pretty popular webcomic Cyanide & Happiness referenced the game, too.

I've seen these guys talked about on the WoW forums before, too. Even before they made the comic. Pretty cool.

indeed, foxtrot had wow references a long time ago. nothing new or special in my opinion there. that it appeard in jeopardy was special though and that they included that lame leroy thing was totally weird.
