The author of this video, Ollgabopi, was inspired by a Lonely Place skit. He took the audio track from the skit, and presented in a WoW machinima context. Lonely Place has received this treatment before in Boombox. It's not the most complicated technique ever created, but I find that the WoW characters really help bring out the "extra funny" in many of these jokes. This video is titled Normal Guy, which is also the name of the Lonely Place original.

The video is pretty simple. I think that was a wise choice on the author's part, since he really needed to keep the audience's focus on the audio track. Of course, that also keeps the video from showing off his talent, but I imagine that wasn't the goal of Normal Guy.

Ultimately, these bite-sized pieces are fun, but I look forward to seeing Ollgabopi expand into something else.
