Cataclysm Beta: Goblin /flirt and /silly sounds

NSFW Warning: Some work environments may not like these jokes.
The Cataclysm floodgates have been opened, and the torrent of information coming is awesome! Here come the goblin sound files for goblin male and female /flirt and /silly jokes and flirts. A lot of it is what you would expect from goblins -- money, wheeling and dealing, bondage jokes and... wait, what? Some of this stuff is pretty racey, and I doubt it will stay in game like the infamous "kill two dwarves" troll emote. Nonetheless, here are your goblin sound emotes.
More clips are after the break.

As a resident of New Jersey (really, its a lot nicer than people think), I am offended deeply by these voices.
...
PFFFFFFFFFT!!! Nah, these are the GREATEST and pretty much solidifies the fact that I'll be playing one. I only listened to two of the videos so far, but I had a smile on my face the WHOLE time.
I would have easily been content if they used the old goblin voices (though I knew they wouldnt), as they were still awesome. But this definately exceeded my expectations. Time for another mark in the 'win' column for Blizz voice overs.

As a resident of South Jersey, we do not sound like that. Although I am guilty of pronouncing the word "On" a little funny.

I'm a south Jersey native, now living in GA. I agree with crunk. The goblin voices are cute, but they don't sound like anyone I know back home.
The only thing I'm annoyed about is that I'll probably have to listen to even MORE inane Jersey jokes now. It's already bad enough! The next Georgian who asks me what exit I'm from is gonna get cut!!! :P

There is trash talk, but this is beyond that. It doesn't taunt another player, it directly insults. This is just my view, as much as Sharvis saying it's nothing to get worked up about. I am not hoping or demanding Blizzard dumps these comments, but want to know that I can option in or out of having to hear them again.

Don't type /silly or /flirt.
Done.

"I got what you need
/unzips"
I hope that stays in, I really do.

I'm a phlegmatic man that's hard to impress. You can gauge that by how unexcited I am about Cataclysm in general.
...however, I'd certainly be impressed if the male goblin /rude emote were the fangul chin-flick motion and he hollers "Forget you!!".

Aaaaand additional props to the devs if one of the goblin /cheer sounds is "OH!" and their /welcome is "Oh! There he is."

I see the boys in the sound department have been channeling Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman.

Bwooklyn.. yea Bwooklyn.. So an Island dwelling race loses their homeland and suddenly sound like city folk. Gotta say I do not care for this accent on the goblins. I mean if they can't be Jamaican ( since trolls are) accented, at least go for say Surfer Dude/ Valley Girls.
They can still love da moolah.
I mean the Ashara goblin estate with the golf course, raceways, hot tubs and olympic size pool ( lets not forget the joes crabshack knock off with neon) were already going waay to far even for a fantasy game with choppers, but Did goblins have to become Goombah /My cousin Vinnie rejects?
it sucks

I'm really enjoying the Italian gangster stereotype. Stay classy blizzard!

Ok....I'm totally hearing some Sarah Silverman in that female goblin voice....

I'm a bit disappointed that the male goblins are the frantic crazy voices from WC2 and WC3. But then, there's just something about a Bronx accent that makes it balance out. :D
