WoW Moviewatch: How To Paladin XXXI

This has been a rather newsworthy week. We've had Nyhm's final goodbye and the release of No Point: Stretching Time. Now, we see the return of a man Baron Soosdon calls "THE DIVINE ONE." Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you How To Paladin XXXI.
Like Moo Money said many moons ago, it's hard to categorize Shepiwot's work. It's pretty firmly in the "WTF" category, and I think it's probably best if we just leave it there. You're probably going to find the How To Paladin series funny, entertaining, or just plain annoying. Maybe all three. I'm in the "it's entertaining" camp, and I can live with that.
This edition has everything you might expect from Shepiwot journeying to Northrend. Dancing, dancing, and more dancing. Some fighting. Tanks! Explosions! Over all, it's a crazy, whacky ride. It felt to me like it moved faster than previous editions, which is probably a good thing.
"How to Paladin" might not be your cup of tea. But, for the fast pace of the film, it won't take you long to drink it.

I... am... so... confused

Is it... SUPPOSED to be nonhumor?

To fully understand, you must watch it again and again. Then, as enlightenment begins to dawn, you will realize yourself, and you will be one with all things.

I jump around like this when playing my pally, too. While tanking. It's fun, you should try it sometime.

It's just full of win - no more need be said. :-D

And to think you complained about a well sung and edited Hunter PVP Rap... you all should be ashamed of yourselves.

These vids are annoying as hell. However, the man is clearly a fan of One Piece, so he's got my support.
Vendrill Feb 26th 2009 12:23PM
Wow. That was freaking hillarious!
... I couldn't... stop... watching.

Not enough spasms...I think he should move the camera a little more. =)

These always make me want to play a paladin. LOL It's so stupid.
Carrie Feb 26th 2009 12:45PM
The tank dancing cracked me up. Shepiwot is win.
Gizmo Feb 26th 2009 12:48PM
It's like.. Crack that confuses. You know you want more, but you're not sure why!

If there ever was true genius in this world, shepiwot is it.
Simply mind blowing...

Remember that Pokemon episode that caused those kids in Japan to have seizures?
I know how they feel now.
That said, I had to keep watching.
(My body fell with my face pointing at the screen)

This is the closest thing to Benny Hill in the WoW universe. Win.
Anorol Feb 26th 2009 1:25PM
^^ I completely agree!! ^^

A+
The forum shots seal the deal pretty early on. Nice music too.
Narlic Feb 26th 2009 1:20PM
Nothing beats the insanity remix though. Nothing.

I am not able to watch it on this computer, but I have a suggestion for future How to Paladins.
I know How to Paladin has a lot of bunny hopping. Have a sequence showing him tanking every Wrath boss except Keristrasza that way. Right in the middle, cut to him tanking Keri without jumping, with really serious music in the background.
