WoW Moviewatch: Nobody Like You Chris-- er Hanukkah Special?

Just in time for the holidays, NinthBatter has busted out the Nobody Like You Chris-- er Hanukkah Special. NinthBatter says that he created this video because there isn't much Hanukkah machinima out there. That makes his song selection perfect, considering the nominal reason for Adam Sandler's Chanukah Song is the same.
Of course, NinthBatter dressed up Sandler's holiday classic with the necessary dose of World of Warcraft references. Not only does he shout out to the appropriate NPCs and legends of the game, but he manages to give smiling nods to certain key Blizzard executives. And, you know, Turpster. (Who, it turns out, isn't Jewish.)
I feel like I say this a lot, but this is probably my favorite NinthBatter video yet. The gag with Arthas singing just hasn't gotten old for me yet, and the ghoul choir during closing credits is spectacular. I truly loved the Nobody Like You Chris -- er Hanukkah Special.

Sorry, I found that unbearable. The Lich King's voice is just too damn wispy for me.

Agreed. That was absolutely horrid. Really hard to listen to. And honestly, there's not much comedic value in taking jokes that were funny ten years ago, replacing the punch lines with inappropriate substitutes from a video game, and slapping it over a sequence of screenshots and/or "witty" image macros.
Come on, folks, there are plenty of enjoyable machinima out there. This may be the only one you've seen with the word "Hannukah" in it, but that doesn't give it entertainment value.
Bleaugh.

What Khrem said. That voice is painful. And meh on the funny factor.
Alja Dec 23rd 2009 12:23PM
I liked it, especially the ghoul choir :D

Amusing, but the funniest part was at the beginning when he kept interrupting ol' Arthy.
"...we have 8 freakin' nights."
"umm, there are the 12 days of Christmas"
"Shut up"
But then he just went to the name replacement it and it went all kinds of meh for me.
Btw, Thrall recently converted to a Jehovah's Witness and doesn't appreciate being included in any holiday references or activities, thank you.

Despite the whispy evil voice, I loved it. I appreciate the covers that people do, replacing the words of songs we enjoy with lulz video game propaganda. Just look at -- uh. . . What's his name. . . Nhym, or v'whatever. That guy? He's pretty boss.

I enjoyed it. I mean wasn't single best machinima I've ever seen but it did make me laugh out loud at parts. Feel kinda bad though that I laughed as hard as I did when I saw the schindler's list pic. Also if you read his blog it says that he made it yesterday afternoon, not saying that excuses some of the quality but for what I'm assuming is 4-6 hrs of work it was good. Then again I am also still in love with Nobody 3.
Well at least now we know why there's no Christmas decorations in ICC, Lich King's Jewish.

Wasn't a huge fan of the voice acting, but I laughed. ^_^
Also, hey! I was in the special thanks! XD
NinthBatter Dec 23rd 2009 6:20PM
I thanked you because you proved the dwarf orc and tauren females can be cute :)
And as for the voice I'll make it less whispy for the next one, hard to do a lich king impersination with out studio quality audio editors :P

Well, It kept me entertained for four and a half minutes. Thats what it was supposed to do, eh?. I still "lol"ed at it.
*Clap clap clap*

I liked it... The Chanukah Song makes me laugh everytime I hear it though, so maybe I'm biased.

This series always manages to surprise and entertain me. I have to say that the Medivh and Milhouse references were my favorites. :)
I'm a sucker for the Funny! I think the Ghoul Choir could join up with the Murloc glee club and start something phenomenal. ;)
