Wowcrendor occasionally creates these background stories for NPCs. It adds a little flavor to the stories already in the game (kind of), and the technique really lets Wowcrendor show off his comedy chops.
The Story of Dumass focuses on the NPC Dumass, one of three NPCs involved in Welcome to the Machine. In that quest, the player takes the role of quest giver, handing out goals to other adventurers. It's a very meta story, and Dumass really underscores the habits of some of our more challenged player peers.
Given that Dumass is already a parody, creating a parody video of Dumass seems like a stroke of genius. Check out the video and let us know whether you think Wowcrendor succeeded!

I might be telling the obvious here, but did people got the hint of the name Dumass? My guildies didn't atleast..... they did not get the hint, only after I posted the "b" in the name they got it.
Neatly done by Blizzard, naming an idiot NPC Dum(b)ass.
There was a popular TV Commercial where a job interview candidate keeps talking about how he's Dumbass material yadda yadda. Cut to the interviewer who says
Fantastic. I didn't get the references, as I'd never seen the stuff that was referenced, but I still shared the exasperation of the various NPCs and found it very entertaining.

I watched this yesterday on the Youtube channel and almost got myself in trouble for laughing out loud at work!

This is so fitting! When I first met Dumass, I thought of Wowcrendor (because he often has the "dumb player" in his videos).

I'm dying over here. This is so great. I loved those quests in the first place, and Wowcrendor just made it so perfect.
