This video is hardly new -- dated very clearly by its references to the gates of Ahn'Qiraj. And, if you weren't playing around the time the gates were opening, the plot may not make sense, but the gate opening event, in an effort to include players of all levels, required the vast collection of random in-game resources, many of which seemed odd to collect for an army preparing an attack. What would an army, preparing to advance into Silithus and fight at the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj, need with 800,000 linen bandages? Hopefully not using them!
For those of you who didn't get to enjoy the Ahn'Qiraj event, Oxhorn explains exactly how anyone involved would have felt. (I, personally, feel like untold days of my life were devoted to purely to logging on and collecting purple lotus.)

Don't forget Blizz put in a quest on Azuremyst Isle that's either a UHF reference, or a reference to this video:

Kinda curious as to what that all looked like.

BTW, for the youngsters (or dull people) out there, "Spear and Maaagic Helmeeeet!" and "I killed the waaabiit" is a reference to the 1957 Warner Bros. Animated short 'What's Opera, Doc?', that featured Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd parodying various Wagner operas. Great Hunter Fudd claims he is going to kill a wabbit with his Spear and Magic Helmet - but when he does, he feels remorse. He carries Bugs' "body" off, to wit Bugs springs backs to life for a moment, breaks the forth wall and asks the audience, "Well, what did you expect in an Opera? A happy ending?" before going limp again. If you'd like to see the full cartoon, it is included in the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 2 DVD.
The "Red Snappah" and "You so stupid" references 'UHF', a 1989 film staring song parody funnyman "Weird" Al Yankovic and his attempts to save a failing local TV station from a corrupt businessman. He fills his loads of local air time with cobbled TV shows. Aside from the very funny work of Yankovic, the film also features comedians like Victoria Jackson of "SNL", Michael Richards of "Seinfeld", and Fran Drescher of "The Nanny". The DVD of 'UHF' is available.
Oxhord (the Tauren) using the term "Southern Orcish glit" is a reference to one of his other warcraft videos, "Inventing Curse Words" which you can see on YouTube.
