WoW Moviewatch: Why you should never eat a brownie
Okay, I need help with this one. Waus from Trollbane sent Why you should never eat a brownie in to us. As the story goes, Waus was eating a brownie when he suffered from a collapsed lung. While in the hospital recuperating, he was inspired to create this machinima. I don't know what to make of this video, so I'm curious what the legion of Moviewatchers think about it.
The video's short and fast-paced. Basically, an evil Draenei snags a dangerous brownie and tricks a Night Elf into eating it. The voice acting is subtitled, but I'm pretty sure the Japanese dialogue does not match up with the subtitles. Obviously, after the Night Elf eats the brownie, she suffers dire consequences.
I feel almost ashamed to admit it, but the video made me laugh. It's just so over the top that it got giggles from me. The Blood Elf voice was worth a chuckle, and the whole thing is just so absurd it hit my funny bone. The animation isn't fancy, but I don't think that was supposed to be the point anyway. So, I don't know. It made me laugh, like I said, but what do you think of it?
If you have any suggestions for WoW Moviewatch, you can mail them to us at machinima AT wowinsider DOT com.

EDIT: By the way, Waus is a "he." The pronoun monster bit me.

Haha, it is neat. If you really think it is over the top though, you haven't watched anime before!

Huh? That's it?
Laaaaame.

Those voices are retarded... I can't imagine anyone with a shred of sanity left actually talking like that.

@Bitterballen -
Welcome to the rest of the world where people are different, sound different, look different...

When someone jams their thumb up the arse in public, that's not because they're simply different. Some things fall under the category 'stupid'. Different is fine, no, it's great. Stupid is not.

@Bitterballen -
You've never been to Japan, have you?
Do yourself a favor - look up Japanese videos on YouTube or somewhere. Not anime, just regular Japanese videos. You'll find that a lot of the women there have higher-than-Anglo voices.
There's no "stupid" or "jamming thumbs" - there's just women from another country.
As I said...different people, different looks, different sounds...might I add different cultures, different personalities, different beliefs, different religious views, different styles, different...
...and different is beautiful. That's what makes this world so interesting.
Sorry you can't appreciate such diversity.

@ Keyra:

Oh yes.
Definitely THIS!
I was in Japan (Tokyo) a few years ago. VERY interesting city. I wouldn't want to live there, but I did thoroughly enjoy myself while I was there. The people were friendly, willing to help out a bloke who was admittedly culture-shocked...oh yeah.
LOVED IT!
Yeah, too bad that bitterballen can't seem to look outside of the stereotypical Anglicized worldview that alot of the "Great White Race" has succumbed to - he's missing out on so many wonderful things.
Oh well. His loss.
Loss...lose...loser...hey, that fits.

This is what I see in the video preview:
"Aaaaah! :D! I'm coming right now! :Q~~"

Yeng May 15th 2009 12:13PM
Yeah, I noticed that too. I wonder if its intentional to draw more viewers ;)
Sleutel May 15th 2009 12:14PM
And yes, the Japanese is completely unrelated.
Sihylm May 15th 2009 12:21PM
That was bad. Straight up bad.

I want the last 3 minutes of my life back you bastard.
ZuWHowho May 15th 2009 12:25PM
The author of this just linked me to this from an IRC channel. And I laughed as well, I'll never live it down.
But it is effective just because it pokes a jagged finger of fun at every anime ever, and I can get behind that.
Good for a laugh, and is an effective short joke, but knowing what it is now, I'm not going to click play again Haha.

The voices you hear are from Death Note. Misa Misa and the little sister of Light.
They are probably talking in japanese about Death Gods or something :')
And im not a "She"!
Thanks for the spotlight though! Weirdest movie I made, ever.
Ohrioh May 15th 2009 1:33PM
You hear the word "shinigami" meaning Death God. @ 1:27.
Yes I like Death Note...except for Episode 26 on sucked... all the way til the end : /
Yagami Light == blood elf voice I think
Tebla May 15th 2009 2:28PM
I liked it, I think it's a good one. Very in the anime vein.
Valdorin May 15th 2009 12:34PM
2 words
The fuck?
Taladan May 15th 2009 7:44PM
Indeed. I'd take any "How to Paladin" videos over this.
Mitawa May 15th 2009 12:36PM
That was actually funny. I don't even know why but I laughed. ^^

I once got kicked out of boy scouts for eating a brownie.
