WoW Moviewatch: Dalaran's Costume Contest
Oxhorn's seasonal shorts always seem to bring a little something extra to the holidays. He's hit Halloween just in time by releasing Dalaran's Costume Contest. If you can't see the YouTube for some reason, you can also pick it up over at Oxhorn's official web site.
As the story goes, Oxhorn's usual cast of characters are competing in the Hallow's End costume contest. They spend a little time discussing the event, when Hat (the singing turtle) comes up and reveals his own clever disguise. I can't go deeper into the story here, or I'll ruin the punchline. And while it may make me a pop-culture junkie, I admit that I laughed out loud at the joke.
An odd bit about this video, though, is that Oxhorn included almost a minute and a half of outtakes. I actually kind of love that stuff, since it gives a lot of personality and "humanity" to the actors in his machinima. I think it lets the audience get to know them a little better, which is almost always a good thing.

Loved the Perez Hilton joke, but Isn't the Kanye bit played out at this point? I suppose we'll know for sure if he interrupts the Thanksgiving Day parade. "Yo, I'mma let you finish, but Garfield was the best balloon of all time!"
Hm. Guess it's not as played out as I thought. :D

Kanye's ascended to full meme status by now...and memes only die when bigger more obnoxious ones overtake them. Soooo considering how obnoxious Kanye is in the first place...get used to him!

I sorta thought that. D: The Perez Hilton joke was totally unexpected and kind of won, but the Kanye one... x.x why.

It's as much a joke to make that joke as it was to make the joke in the first place.
Such is the meme lifecycle.

I think A WOW costume contest should have:
Tauren dressed as a cow
Gnome dressed as Garden gnome
Draenei dressed as squid
Forsaken dressed as zombie
Elf (Blood or night) dressed as a "Winter helper"
Orc dressed as Frankenstein
Troll dressed as fairytale bridge troll (With 3 billy goats)
Human dressed as... A human. (and going "What?" to everyone looking at him without a costume.)
