WoW Moviewatch: The Fruit Vendor

See, back when we all hung out in Shattrath, we could hear Cro Threadstrong screaming at the fruit vendor all day, every day. Blizzard kept adding additional lines during patches, and the whole thing became a mild obsession among players.
Wowcrendor turned the entire scene into this machinima. If you're new to the game, rest assured ... this is an accurate portrayal of the script. This is what happened in Shattrath, right down to Cro calling Granny Smith a "he." Great job, Wowcrendor!
Interested in the wide world of machinima? We have new movies every weekday here on WoW Moviewatch! Have suggestions for machinima we ought to feature? Toss us an email at moviewatch@wowinsider.com.Filed under: WoW Moviewatch

I don't think there's enough thumbs up or a like button big enough for this.

Between the fruit vendor, the leatherworking trainer (vendor?) that harrased her, and the troll that tried to sell you junk (someone in my guild actually fell for it and bought one of his items), that was one of the weirdest areas of any town that Blizzard has ever created.

Eh?! Don't be talking smack about Griftah. My bank alts swear by his neck pieces. Like the Marvelous Madstone of Immortality: "This anchors your spirit to the world, allowing you to come back from the most dreadful of demises once your essence returns to where you perished!" It's a steal for only 40g.

No joke, while I still played, the closest allied guild to my own venerated the talisman of true treasure finding like a bunch of cultists. I'd make fun of them, and they'd point out how much RNG had swung in their favor while wearing it. Every time something went well while they were wearing the necklace, they wouldn't shut up about it.

IF WAR IS WHAT YOU WANT, WAR IS WHAT YOU SHALL GET, FRUIT VENDOR!

I'm still on pins and needles, waiting for Blizzard to add a raid full of tikbalangs. It's coming, just as soon as we let our guard down, mark my words.

When waiting on raids to fill in Wrath I used to run in circles around Dal, yelling Cro's lines at the fruit vendor by the Alliance side. Yelling about crushing apples sounds much more ominous when your victim is an actual tree however. I miss these guys enough to go hang out in Shat sometimes.

Wowcrendor really does have a spot on meatwad voice.

The Meatwad Tauren absolutely destroyed me.

I remember there was a MASSIVE thread on the forums where people were theorizing some crazy connection between the fruit vendor, Cro, and the skeleton that Crendor used in his closing credits. The thread was like this huge murder mystery thing. Those were good times. WTB old WoW forums back :-(
Crendor, if you are reading this, was that what you were referencing with the closing credit shot?

If I remember correctly, there was a big conspiracy theory on the official message boards, that that skeleton found in Nagrand, near apples on the ground was the corpse of the last person to do battle with Granny Smith. I could be wrong, this was years ago.
