WoW Moviewatch: A commercial parody

by Amanda Miller Dec 9th 2007 at 12:00PM

In the style of the recent wave of celebrity-lead commercials enticing the masses to purchase World of Warcraft, a nifty little parody has sprung up. With a thumbs up from Nethaera on the forums, it's a quick and entertaining video for those who have been keeping up with its official counterparts.

If you haven't, we've got you covered:

The ads that started the craze, one featuring William Shatner, and another with Mr. T.
"I am a Paladin" with Spanish actor Willy Toledo.
The mage that is Jean-Claude Van Damme.

While we're on the subject, what do you think of the commercials? Personally, I am enjoying seeing elements of my WoW-playing creeping into my television-viewing. It somehow seems so odd and therefore mildly thrilling to be confronted with a night elf while channel flipping. Now, all we need is an alliance parody and we'd be set!

Yeah this "parody" was pretty weak and actually thinking about it rather lame.

I can't speak for every women but I don't feel opressed. I just think it would be cool to see a female celebrity doing one of those commericals. (maybe Kristen bell or Sarah Silverman). I wonder if the Rogue/Druid/Warlock/Hunters/Priests feel the same way since no one's endorsed them yet.
