World of Warcraft/Memes



Since it's existed for more than five years and has a dev team that loves to get in on the fun, it's no surprise that WoW has as many memes as it does.

All right chums, let's do this!

"Vegeta, what does the scouter say about the Jormungar count?
 * If Saurfang killed himself, everyone else would die instead.
 * Only Hogger would stand a chance against him. Or they could team up and look for Mankrik's wife.
 * Saurfang? Pfft. Lord Darius Crowley cleaves with his fists., caused him to be deadly to new players). He's somewhat of an ascended meme: one of the statistics tracked by the game is "deaths by Hogger" and in Cataclysm he's
 * The Mankrik meme has reached ascended status: in a quest in Thousand Needles, the player has become haunted by a troll's ghost; in one of his randomly appearing monologues, he reminisces about the Barrens, then asks, "Hey, did they ever find out what happened with Mankrik's wife?"
 * Saurfang can do the same, he just uses the less powerful axe so we can still have a world to play in.
 * "Skinning a bear should aggro every bears in a 40 yard radius. It makes sense, you are skinning their best friend."
 * Rogues do it from behind.
 * D&D rogues did it first.
 * Now an Ascended Meme. In content patch 4.1, an optional boss (that you may or may not get) will yell this whenever he does a backstab attack.
 * Lapdogs! All of you!
 * Said by Van Cleef (R.I.P.) upon knocking his HP down far enough. Unfortunately, not repeated by his daughter.
 * Blades of light!
 * Said by Champion Herod, final boss of the Scarlet Monastery Armory, when he uses his Instant Death Radius. For older players, its synonimous with "get away from the boss NOW".
 * I'LL RIP THE SECRETS FROM YOUR FLESH!
 * Said by the first boss of the Scarlet Monastary Graveyard, in a rather campy voice.
 * "YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!"
 * "GIVE WARLOCKS GREEN FIRE"
 * NOBODY TOUCH THAT CORPSE, THOSE BOOTS ARE MINE!
 * Anal [link ability]
 * reported
 * reported for reporting
 * reported for reporting a report
 * Movie titles are better with Murlocs
 * "I Am King of the Sea/but I'm not Aquaman!"
 * And lest ye forget: LEEROOOOOOOOOOOY. JEEEEEEEEEEENKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINS.
 * "At least I have chicken."
 * Hammer of Vindication is overpowered!
 * Slap in the Face is even more so.
 * Oh no!
 * Jingle bells, (humans/Forsaken) smell, a (night elf/tauren) laid an egg; (gnomes/trolls) are n00bs and (dwarves/orcs) are boobs and (draenei/blood elves) can't get laid!
 * A mock Christmas carol highlighting cross-faction feelings.
 * LF rouge to unlock (lockbox)!
 * Why do you need a French communist for that?
 * Rouges are overpowdered!
 * Rogues are famous for having an easily misspelled class name, and many jokes have been made about it.
 * I know what you're thinking. But Tempest Keep was merely a setback! is that you never killed Kael'thas in Tempest Keep; in fact, if you had the quest from A'dal to kill him, he'll show up as you turn it in to taunt you about still being alive. It's an ascended meme: one of the san'layn in Icecrown Citadel starts the encounter with "Naxxanar was merely a setback!" and the same is true of
 * "More DOTS. Throw more DOTS. OK Stop DOTS! FUUUUUUUUUUUCK! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?"
 * That's a 50 DKP MINUS!!!!!
 * MANY WHELPS! HANDLE IT!
 * From a rather (in)famous and narmful video featuring a rather loud raid leader. Now also an Ascended Meme. When Onyxia was re-tooled for Wrath, she was given new achievements that are all either from this or the meme below.
 * Onyxia deep breathes more!
 * Paladin nerfs? TO THE GROUND, BABY!
 * Everyone is necrophiliac for Sylvanas.
 * Everyone is furry for Lady Vashj, and Alexstrasza. Don't believe me? See her for yourself!
 * King Varian Wrynn: Lord of the Chin.
 * CHINTERCEPTED!
 * TOO SOON! IT IS TOO SOON!!
 * This one reached Ascended Meme status in Lich King; one of your Wolvar companions in Scholazar Basin repeats the line, and several other infamous/famous boss quotes, as you quest with him. Evidently he heard them when adventurers such as you told him about the encounters.
 * BY FIRE BE PURGED!!
 * Ragnar-Os! "Two scoops, Executus, two scoops!" "By fiber be purged!"
 * My staff is a good one.
 * LOOK IT OVER
 * CAT DURID IS 4 FITE!!!
 * It's [color and looks [something]er] than your average [category or [category].]
 * OH NO WHY IS ANIMALS ON MY FACE?
 * >8< spider pride
 * doodad_nox_door_spider02
 * Not one, but two Jormungar Worms!

IT'S OVER ONE!

WHAT? TWO?!"

 * BOOOOOOOOOOONE STOOOOOOOOOOOORM
 * Cast Bonestorm or go to hell!
 * Also similar to Kael'thas' line, Sindragosa's "SUFFER MORTALS, AS YOUR PATHETIC (insert whatever here) BETRAAAAAAAAAAYS YOU!"
 * Tauren and Draenei rogues exist, they're just so good at stealth that even their class selection button is hidden at the character creation screen.
 * When you go to loot a mob you killed and nothing is there? Tauren rogue (or draenei rogue).
 * If you fell off Aldor Rise, a draenei rogue pushed you. If you fell off Thunder Bluff, a tauren rogue pushed you.
 * Have you ever seen a tauren rogue? (No.) Exactly!
 * JOHN FUCKING MADDEN
 * Now you see, the Ogres are the biggest guys on the field. There's nobody on the field bigger than the Ogres, that's why they're the biggest guys on the field.
 * "We named him Dranosh..."
 * It means "waste of 90 seconds" in Orcish.
 * When's that new feature coming? SoonTM.
 * "Why Am I Ticking??"
 * "Because you are the bomb. Run!"

 * WORKING AS INTENDED.
 * Why is Arthas' mount called Invincible if I can see it?
 * Because Christie Golden likes to tell instead of show.
 * Bolvar's dialogue with Tirion at Icecrown Citadel is very exploitable. One of many examples:

Maiev: The weight of such a Burden... it must be mine! For I need job now anywa-

Bolvar Fordragon: The dragons' flame... sealed my fate. The world of the living can no longer comfort me. Place the horns upon my head, Maiev. Forevermore - I will be the Lord of Outland.

Akama: What the heck are you doing here?!

Bolvar: Icecrown is nice and all, but I heard there are concubines here!

Tirion: [shocked] Bolvar... by all that is holy...

Bolvar Fordragon: Tell them only that they are not prepared...

Bolvar Fordragon: and that Bolvar Fordragon is on vacation...

Maiev: But...

Bolvar Fordragon: [/flirts at Mother Shahraz] NOW GO. LEAVE THIS PLACE – AND NEVER RETURN."

 * check patch notes
 * I remember it well. It was a bright, shiny day... I was just mindin' my own business, when all of a sudden, Deathwing appeared! I said to myself, "I'm gonna punch that dragon in the face!"
 * The new loading screen for Northrend features a very exploitable picture of Bolvar, which quickly resulted in this thread.
 * World Of Warcraft.......Catacalysm (kuh-tack-uh-liz-um) will change the gameplay forever.
 * With the Twilight's Hammer cult being a major antagonist in Cataclysm, the advent of the Twilight Dragonflight and the addition of the Twilight Highlands, people have taken to making (largely mocking) Twilight references whenever one of these comes up.
 * The game itself does as well... one of the worgen /silly jokes is 'At least we don't sparkle...'
 * Thrall's balls! They're everywhere...
 * Fangirls... *shudder*
 * Other fangirls: Squee
 * My body is clad head to toe in heirlooms! Look at your armor, now back to mine. Yes, my horse is made of stars!
 * For Twinkles! A more loyal star pony has never been seen.
 * [Dirge]
 * The Rainbow Generator item, which shoots rainbows at enemies. It does very weak damage, but it's recently become very popular to show people firing this thing off, one image even showing somebody hitting The Lich King with it.
 * I tried to make an entry here...
 * ...but I couldn't, because Hungering Cold has a cast time.
 * Watch your clever mouth, bitch!

 * "Draenei 2.0"
 * WOW is hard..
 * GO'EL, GO'EL, GO'EL, GO'EL...
 * POWAH!
 * Darth Benedictus.
 * Voldemort references are a decent second in popularity, due to the "there is no X or Y - only power" speech being almost identical to Voldemort's speech in the first Harry Potter movie, although far from the only obvious Shout-Out by raid bosses.
 * "Can I have your stuff?"
 * Knowing Blizzard, he'll probably go crazy and become a raid boss.
 * Horde bias!
 * "Break yourselves upon my body. FEEL the strength of the earth!"
