WoW Moviewatch: Family Tauren

Bullworth has created another TV parody with this creation called Family Tauren. This is a parody of Family Guy, obviously; I can say so because I'm pretty good at detecting these things. The video's about six or seven minutes long, and you probably want to give it your full attention while it playes.
Bullworth did a pretty good job of following the comedy style of Family Guy while still maintaining his generally good-natured humor. The video has a lot of shout-outs to Family Guy, pop culture and WoW community. It definitely helps if you're steeped in the culture to get all the humor, but I think there's enough variety here for everyone to have fun. The general plot of the story is Martin Fury, so check this story out if you're not familiar with the scandal.

I love Bullworth's movies! He's one of the nicest guys I've met while playing WoW. Check out his other videos. He's got a crazy cool sense of humor.

When the gold ad popped up in the vid, I actually tried clicking it! the horror of closing a new tab.
Saroc Oct 11th 2010 12:22PM
Correction: I meant to say when I tried clicking to close it.

I tried 3 times to close the ad, I feel so silly :p

Haha me too. Darn you Youtube ad conditioning!
Great machinima, the Family Guy character impersonations were a nice touch. :)

So true, and hopefully you didn't try to close it more then once. Such as in case myself.

About 6:00am Here, No Coffee.
Paused the video and click about 5 times thinking to myself:
"Damn these Goldsellers, and there un closeable adds!"

Honestly, the jokes were too unaltered. Some were exact copies from Family Guy without any change to make them relevant in WoW. It wasn't bad (the chicken fight actually made me chuckle a bit) but it wasn't anything special.
Then again, at least it's not BElf rap.

Pretty much agree. The bit about soloing Black Temple made me giggle, though!

I got a gold-selling ad for that video. It had an "X" in the top-right corner.
Advice to the rest of you: It does not close the window--it opens a new one.

@razion Did you know that if you type /pick when you enter a dungeon as a party leader, you can pull up a UI that allows you to disinclude boss drops not suited to your party?
razion Oct 11th 2010 12:53PM
... What on earth does that have to do with pop-up in-video ads that don't go away when you try to click a button that should close it? ;;
Natsumi Oct 11th 2010 12:56PM
The ad was one of the jokes.
razion Oct 11th 2010 12:57PM
*facepalm* I went back over the vid... it was part of the movie. Ugh...

Hears your sign.

What is the sword he has at the Lich King?

The sword is Quel'Delar, Cunning of the Shadows.
