Verne Troyer is a Gnome Mage; no one is surprised

Back when Blizzard released the new World of Warcraft ads featuring Mr. T and William Shatner, it also announced that a Verne Troyer ad was forthcoming. It's finally here, and it turns out that, like Jean-Claude Van Damme, Mini-Me is a Mage!
If you liked the first two English-language WoW TV spots, you'll like this one, though I don't think it's quite as exciting because we all knew what was coming; he's a Gnome. What a surprise! It's still awesome and you should all check it out. I don't need to tell you that, though, do I?
I'm still holding out for The Hoff. What class would he be, I wonder? And if they could get Schwarzenegger, they'd have to create a Governator class. Hey, they already made a Mohawk class for Mr. T. Okay, this is getting silly and I'm getting carried away!
[Thanks, Chris!]

As exploitative as that is, it's damn funny. IMHO, the best yet.
SaintStryfe Dec 17th 2007 9:48PM
It's predictable, but damn the Action shots looked great

SHORT!
zing!

*THWAP!*
=p
icer Dec 17th 2007 9:58PM
i thought for sure he was gonna b a rogue
Edboy Dec 17th 2007 10:50PM
Predictable would either be Gnome or Tauren. Now if he was a Troll, then that would leave you wondering.
Ichigo Dec 17th 2007 9:59PM
haha. oh man, he even looks like a gnome mage.
Poor devil.

The Hoff would have to be a human rogue: they look like total mugs and are full of themselves.
Bresh Dec 17th 2007 10:57PM
Naw, The Hoff has to be a BE... something. I can't quite pick out the class. Maybe a hunter. Too pretty to fight on his own, he sends his faithful and adoring rabid (fans) wolf in while he stands back and primps and preens.
The Schwarz almost has to be a Tauren Warrior.

Hoff would so be a Male Blood Elf Paladin.
Jeccius Dec 18th 2007 7:16AM
@9 - hunter with a black panther (with the KIT eyes :D)

Hoff would be a warlock, he could summon his pimp black ride at will.
Artemis11 Dec 17th 2007 10:05PM
Hah, best one yet. xD

I still think it would have been funny if the gnome mage toon got drunk and pee'd in the corner.
Overall, it was pretty good.
Dark Yoshi Dec 17th 2007 10:22PM
I'm surprised. I thought he would be a Warlock or Rogue.

If they could get Chuck Norris to do one of these... the world would probably explode.

"I'm Chuck Norris, and I'm a WoW in-joke." :)
ThorinII Dec 18th 2007 10:02AM
More like, "I'm Chuck Norris and I'm a huge joke."
Chuck Norris = Has been that should never have been

I'm still waiting for "I'm Chris Walken.... and I'm an Undead Warlock."
It needs to be done.
Samuel Axon Dec 17th 2007 10:55PM
Oh my God, that would be amazing. I would cry.
