I'm not entirely sure what coincidence has inspired it, but I've seen a dozen requests this week for a re-feature of this video by Irdeen Productions. What Would Warchief Garrosh Do? was Irdeen Production's entry into the BlizzCon 2010 machinima contest.
Obviously inspired by South Park's love of Brian Boitano, a handful of Horde kids sing an entertaining anthem about Garrosh Hellscream. Now that we've had about 9 months of Garrosh under our belts, I wonder how many of us still think Garrosh is a great Horde leader. Regardless of my feelings about Hellscream, I do love this video. It's fun, fast, and packed with lots of jokes.
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.
Ah, this little gem. I had this saved on my old phone so I could watch it any time I wanted. I absolutely loved the small nods to the "Make Love Not Warcraft" South Park episode, like "Hartman's" muttering about how glad he is that he rerolled Horde. The song itself is in that crazy upbeat SP style that all the musical episodes share, and it made me like Garrosh! In game wise I don't really like him... but I also don't hate him, it's mostly neutral, but this song is just too much fun!

the Blackhand cameo was the best. True LOL's.

Possibly one of the best machina pieces I've seen. 10/10

Curse you comment system for your sudden yet inevitable betrayal

Mine is an evil laugh.

Did anyone ever think he was a great Horde leader? Or were you kidding? It's too early in the morning for me to tell.
StClair Jul 29th 2011 12:43PM
He's very good at starting fights.
Hence, "WARchief."

Ah there you go, at 2am in the morning you miss that sort of thing.

At least with Garrosh in charge, the zeppelins run on time!

The opening credits are a little Harry Potter-esque until it turns South Parkish. Maybe that's why the requests.

I'd honestly say that sounds like a stretch at best. It's just a good machinima.

Wonderfully executed, the singing is awful, though.
Ronin Jul 29th 2011 1:07PM
"Dungeon requests"? The heck does that mean?
Ben Smith Jul 29th 2011 2:47PM
The only thing I can think that sounds similar would be "a dozen requests," but I'm not really sure what was supposed to be there.

I love how Blackhand just slides in.

If Garrosh punching Varian in the face isn't reason enough to love this video, nothing is.
Donhorn Jul 29th 2011 3:42PM
Win!
NielsdeJONG Jul 31st 2011 3:07PM
Wrong!
It would be win if it was the other way around! XD
Serieusly, for all the critisism Horde players give him, the Horde hasn't exactly proven him wrong...
*Cough* Southshore, Hillsbrad, Stonetalon, Gilneas, Ashenvale etc. *cough*
Xantenise Jul 31st 2011 5:04PM
@Niels Wrong again. It would only be even MORE win if they both punched each other in the face. At the same time.

One of the masterpieces of WoW machinima, up there with Craft of War: BLIND.
His Boom de Yada is amazing, too.
