| 3 | [[folder:Cards and Flavor Text]] |
| 4 | * Lord Jaraxxus, a legendary warlock card, has the battlecry effect of replacing your hero with him. Of course, Jaraxxus is amongst the [[LargeHam largest of hams]] in the game, as is befitting of an Eredar Lord; the hilarity comes when you try to use the apologize emote while using him as your hero. |
| 5 | --> '''[[ThirdPersonPerson Jarraxus]]:''' '''''JARAXXUS IS...''''' ''sorry.'' |
| 6 | * The artwork of ''Master of Disguise'' depicts a female Blood Elf. The flavor text corrects this: |
| 7 | --> She's actually a male tauren. People don't call him "Master of Disguise" for nothing. |
| 8 | * Silvermoon Guardian's Death cry. |
| 9 | -->'''Silvermoon Guardian:''' Owie! |
| 10 | * LeeroyJenkins doing what he does best when summoned: charging into the face of danger and screaming his name. |
| 11 | ** And when he (pretty much inevitably) dies, his death quote includes "At least I have chicken!" (Most death quotes don't include anything coherent.) |
| 12 | ** A particularly disastrous scenario can occur if Leeroy is summoned while the opponent controls a Knife Juggler. Leeroy's Battlecry summons two Whelps for the enemy, which causes Knife Juggler to throw two knives for 1 damage each, potentially killing Leeroy as soon as he hits the board. |
| 13 | * Millhouse Manastorm's death cry takes nearly 10 seconds from start to finish, the scream slowly growing weaker and weaker. Then he gags a little, and then one more time for good measure. |
| 14 | * Magma Rager has been the ButtMonkey of the game for a long time. |
| 15 | ** If you include Magma Rager in your deck during the first fight with Rafaam, he will comment on it |
| 16 | ---> '''Rafaam''': Magma Rager?! Why would you play this card? |
| 17 | ** Poking fun at [[MemeticLoser Magma Rager]] goes further than that. Just have a look at Ice Rager's - a 3 mana 5/2, compared with Magma Rager's 3 mana 5/1 - flavor text. |
| 18 | ---> He's a lot [[{{Pun}} cooler]] than Magma Rager. |
| 19 | ** With Karazhan's introduction we also have The Magic Mirror taunting you if you're planning to play it. |
| 20 | ** It probably doesn't get better than [[SdrawkcabName Am'gam Rager]], a 3 mana, you guessed it, 1/5. Its flavor text? |
| 21 | ---> [[PowerCreep peerc rewop]] (yes, that's the exact text) |
| 22 | ** And now with Mean Streets of Gadgetzan we have a Shadow Rager, a 3 mana 5/1 with Stealth. Doesn't sound too bad? Well... it's a Rogue class card. |
| 23 | ---> '''[[CrossesTheLineTwice WE WENT THERE!]]''' |
| 24 | ** The Kobolds and Catacombs' new Dungeon Run mode has the Wax Rager, a 3 mana 5/1... '''[[GameBreaker that summons itself upon death.]]''' Not to mention it completely trivialises a lot of the bosses. |
| 25 | ** When Team 5 decided to merge ALL of the Classic set with the Hall of Fame and rotate it to Wild, then create a new, annually-rotating Core set consisting of cards both old and new alike, they had some decisions to make. Among them? Magma Rager was rotated out... and Ice Rager was rotated back in. On the one hand, it's sad to see Magma Rager usurped by its [[{{Pun}} cooler]] cousin, but on the other hand, the irony is so palpable, one can only imagine the collective laugh the team had after making the swap. |
| 26 | ** ''March of the Lich King'' introduces an Undead incarnation, the Scourge Rager: a 3 mana 5/4 with Reborn... that ''instantly dies'' upon being played because of its Battlecry effect, which is literally printed on the card as '''Battlecry: Die.''' Even funnier is that Death Knight, also introduced with the expansion, can ''actually benefit from this'' thanks to the Corpse mechanic. |
| 27 | * Someone used a neural network to generate new hearthstone cards, with results ranging from plausible, to over or underpowered, to blatantly nonsensical. See [[https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/3cyi15/hearthstone_cards_as_created_by_a_neural_network/ here]]. |
| 28 | ** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Flamewanker/ There's a subreddit for it now!]] |
| 29 | * The Annoy-o-tron. It's a 1/2 robotic clown with a taunt ''and'' divine shield, and all it does is yell "HELLO! HELLO! HELLO!". Its 2-Mana cost makes it an excellent way of stalling for just a bit longer, but if someone takes this card into the field, expect them to keep it alive as long as possible and ''really'' take the name to its limit. |
| 30 | ** During the second ''Hallow's End'' event, a new Hero was unveiled: ''Sir'' Annoy-o, with a balloon sword and squeaky hammer. Due to Annoy-o-tron being a tank with a Divine Shield, it's only natural that he also be treated as a Paladin! |
| 31 | * Certain card combinations can result in hilarity due to their emotes. |
| 32 | -->'''Knife Juggler:''' "Put this apple on your head."\ |
| 33 | '''Blood Imp:''' ''"DO I HAVE TO?!"'' |
| 34 | --->or |
| 35 | -->'''Archmage:''' "Are you ready for THIS?"\ |
| 36 | '''[[MultipleHeadcase Ogre Magi:]]''' "I'm ready!" ''"I'm not ready!"'' |
| 37 | --->or |
| 38 | -->'''Onyx Bishop:''' "The game begins."\ |
| 39 | '''Sylvanas Windrunner:''' "I have no time for games!" |
| 40 | * Similarly, the Warrior emotes for beginning the game and conceding, while thematically appropriate, can be rather amusing if heard in quick succession: |
| 41 | -->"Victory or death! I choose death!" |
| 42 | * The +2/+2 buff the Floating Watcher gives itself whenever your warlock hero is damaged on your turn is just named 'Brow Furrow'. Let that sink in for a moment. |
| 43 | * The entire premise of the Ogre Ninja is this. |
| 44 | ** From the soundbites upon summon |
| 45 | ---> '''Head one:''' ''Sneaky!''\ |
| 46 | '''Head two:''' ''Shush, quiet!'' |
| 47 | ** To the art depicting a two-headed ogre in a ninja garb [[HighlyVisibleNinja with twigs pretending to be a tree]] |
| 48 | ** To a [[http://www.hearthhead.com/card=2056/ogre-ninja#comments budding]] meme regarding the card's art being just a tree at night. |
| 49 | * The Evil Heckler card, who has several insults to throw at your opponent. |
| 50 | -->'''Evil Heckler''': Your mother was a murloc.\ |
| 51 | '''Evil Heckler''': You smell like a Leper Gnome. |
| 52 | * Playing Wilfred Fizzlebang while you're Jaraxxus leads to the two re-enacting their original meeting: |
| 53 | --> '''Wilfred Fizzlebang''': You are bound to me, demon... uh, I think. |
| 54 | --> '''Jaraxxus''': TRIFLING GNOME! Your arrogance will be your undoing! |
| 55 | ** This is then completed when Wilfred dies in a fight. |
| 56 | ---> '''Wilfred Fizzlebang''': Bu-But I'm in charge here! |
| 57 | * Some of the flavor texts of the cards when you check them in the Collection can generate some laughs. |
| 58 | -->'''Abusive Sergeant''': ADD ME TO YOUR DECK, MAGGOT!! |
| 59 | * Holy Champion is (allegedly) a medic for the Argent Crusade. Her attack quote is to yell, "Does ''this'' hurt?!" |
| 60 | * Yogg-Saron's pure RNG based battle cry is nothing if not tons of fun, though his FanNickname of "The Betrayer" is well earned as many of the spells he randomly uses can end up hurting far more then helping. Antics include (but are not limited to): |
| 61 | ** Summoning a wave of Recruits, Hounds, Wisps, Tentacles, or Murlocs only to kill them afterwards. |
| 62 | ** Turning into a frog |
| 63 | ** Killing himself. |
| 64 | ** Killing the player that played him.[[note]] If the "End Turn" button doesn't shine green, there's either more to play or [[TonightSomeoneDies someone ends up dying.]] If you click the button and it doesn't do anything, someone ''definitely'' ends up dying.[[/note]] |
| 65 | ** [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Putting himself back in your deck or hand.]] |
| 66 | ** Buffing up someone... and then killing them (Said person can also be himself). |
| 67 | ** Healing your enemy. |
| 68 | ** Drawing so many cards that you lose due to fatigue damage. |
| 69 | ** Pyroblasting your face, himself or one of the many 1/1's he just summoned. |
| 70 | ** Literally betray you[[note]] by playing Treachery on himself[[/note]] and continue casting spells for the opponent. |
| 71 | ** Casting Cataclysm, which kills himself, the whole board, and throws your hand away, leaving you with nothing but the top of your deck to play. |
| 72 | ** Or all of the above. |
| 73 | ** Of course there is always the turn around, where Yogg is your last ditch effort to stay alive... and he delivers. |
| 74 | ** There is also the more rare but still likely chance of Yogg doing absolutely nothing since a lot of spell cards require a minion to target, so if your opponent has none and Yogg-Saron's killed himself [[note]]As of current, if he's incapacitated (dead, missing or silenced), his spell spree will immediately stop[[/note]], the random spells do jack and squat. |
| 75 | ** The nerfed Yogg-Saron brings in [[EpicFail a different brand of humor]], where his ominous entry is [[NegatedMomentOfAwesome immediately negated]] by Yogg committing suicide or turning himself into a sheep. Or, better yet, deciding to go "ScrewThisImOuttaHere" by casting Shadowstep on himself. Even better if this is the ''first'' spell being cast through this Battlecry. |
| 76 | * The concept of Ragnaros, Lightlord: |
| 77 | ** Upon entering the battlefield, it's relatively easy to see how, despite using [[WhiteMagic The Light]], his personality hasn't changed changed one bit. He's still going to purge you in (holy) fire. |
| 78 | --->'''Ragnaros:''' '''THE LIGHT ''PURGES!''''' |
| 79 | ** Although he might be purified, he still has his [[LargeHam pleasant attitude]], even as a good guy |
| 80 | --->'''Ragnaros:''' '''''LIVE, INSECT!''''' |
| 81 | *** Which is doubly funny if he attacked that turn as his attack emote is still '''''DIE, INSECT!''''' |
| 82 | ** And he even replies when his flavour text questions what happens when you corrupt something already corrupted: |
| 83 | --->'''Ragnaros:''' '''''DOUBLE NEGATIVE, INSECT!''''' |
| 84 | * Validated Doomsayer's flavor text (a joke about the infamously annoying scenario where Piloted Shredder's Deathrattle would spawn the original Doomsayer, resulting in a field wipe you couldn't plan for) |
| 85 | --> Really feels good about himself and is in a much better place now. But… he sure does miss piloting those shredders. |
| 86 | * Selfless Hero's entry quote. |
| 87 | --> Nothing scares me!... except [[EekAMouse mice]]. |
| 88 | * Because of the mechanics of Varian Wrynn's EpicHail, it's possible for nothing to get summoned (if you draw only spells and weapons, or if you're fatigued). Are the armies of Stormwind a bit depleted, Varian? |
| 89 | * Carrion Grub wins best flavor text of all time: [[Music/{{Kansas}} "Carrion, my wayward grub."]] |
| 90 | * Sometimes when buffing C'Thun, he'll drop his serious attitude for a second to reference the Paladin's popular Greetings emote to introduce himself: |
| 91 | --> ''Well met!'' |
| 92 | * Compared to most of the corrupted minions in ''Old Gods'', Worgen Infiltrator simply becomes a 2 mana 3/1 with Stealth. The flavor text of the resulting card, Twisted Worgen, acknowledges this: |
| 93 | --> ''Sometimes the Old Gods' corruptions [[LovecraftianSuperpower gives you power untold]], [[PowerUpLetdown sometimes you get +1 Attack]]. We can’t all be winners in the Eldritch lottery.'' |
| 94 | * Purify is a 2 mana spell that silences a friendly minion and draws a card. For those of you who don't play Hearthstone: Purify is crap. The sheer amount of backlash for the card has spawned so many hilarious responses it's hard to assemble them all in a list. |
| 95 | ** "The text for purify reads "Lose any chance of hitting legend this season, draw a card"" |
| 96 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9QD6sxoJxk This video]] |
| 97 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSRFiVXjVL8 Amaz reviews Karazhan priest cards.]] |
| 98 | ** Although it should be noted that as of the Un'goro expansion, [[LethalJokeCharacter Purify]] is considered a genuinely good card in a genuine good deck. Blizzard basically just kept adding cards that synergise with it, to the point that a Purify deck doesn't even run them all. |
| 99 | * The play quote for Medivh's Valet: "Excuse me, ''you'' are ''on fire.''" |
| 100 | * The Mean Streets of Gadgetzan expansion released in December 2016 added Weasel Tunneler, a 1 Mana 1/1 with "Deathrattle: Shuffle this card into your opponent's deck". It's pretty funny when your opponent ends up being unfortunate enough to draw this later on in the game. It's just when Baron Rivendare gets involved that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhZr5Sa7Bms&t=40s things get very, VERY strange.]] |
| 101 | ** Thought it was just a JokeCharacter designed to screw with singleton Kabal decks and disappoint people expecting to open a good epic? Behold the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlrVhzxV0A4 Weasel Priest]] deck, designed to duplicate the Weasels as many times as possible while shuffling them into the opponent's deck. This also includes using Crystalline Oracle to copy the Weasels while they're in the opponent's deck! As one of the bigger {{Troll}} decks around, it derives glee from the opponent hoping to draw into their good cards, [[HopeSpot only to draw a Weasel instead]]. |
| 102 | * The Dirty Rat, a 2 Mana 2[=/=]6 with Taunt. It has one of the potentially ''worst'' Battlecries in the game: Your opponent summons a random minion from their own hand. Bad results include, but are not limited to: |
| 103 | ** Deathwing and the Deathwing, Dragonlord variant, both powerful 12/12 minions and the latter has a powerful Deathrattle. |
| 104 | ** Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound, a 10/10 minion [[FromBadToWorse which then proceeds to add another minion to the board if it isn't taken out before the end of your opponent's turn.]] |
| 105 | ** Tyrantus, a 12[=/=]12 that [[NoSell can't be targeted by Spells or Hero Powers.]] |
| 106 | ** Voidlord, a 9 Mana 3/9 with Taunt that summons 3 1/3 Voidwalkers when it dies. |
| 107 | ** Swamp King Dred, a 9/9 that automatically attacks any minion the opponent plays. Including the Dirty Rat that just pulled it out. |
| 108 | ** Any powerful, overstatted minion. |
| 109 | ** Doomsayer, which equals immediate boardwipe unless you kill it. |
| 110 | ** A powerful legendary minion such as Ragnaros or Sylvanas. |
| 111 | ** Trying to drag out a strong minion while you have a removal card ready, only for your opponent to have ''no minions in hand''. |
| 112 | * Of course, the Dirty Rat has some good moments as well. It can summon: |
| 113 | ** A weak minion that [[OneHitKill can be killed immediately]] |
| 114 | ** Doomsayer, if your opponent has a powerful board. |
| 115 | *** [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Dragging out a powerful minion after your opponent plays a Doomsayer]]. |
| 116 | ** Minions with Battlecry or horrible Deathrattles. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Of course, it doesn't matter if the minion is overstatted or has a horrible Battlecry.]] |
| 117 | *** Bonus points for keystone cards like Reno Jackson or Raza the Chained, since it'll probably make the opponent concede then and there due to losing their win condition. |
| 118 | ** The Darkness, since its Battlecry doesn't activate, but it ''does'' go dormant, since that's not part of the Battlecry. And since the Battlecry is what provides the means of bringing it out of dormancy... |
| 119 | * Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound is the most powerful of the Old Gods. He also have 2 tentacles that give the impression of a mustache. Said tentacles also curl heavily, giving it the look of a DastardlyWhiplash. |
| 120 | * Using Evolve and related effects replaces a minion of yours with one of a higher cost. But there's no telling ''what'' kind of minion could come out of it. More often than not, you'd get results that are stronger than the minions you started with, but some hilariously unlucky results are: |
| 121 | ** Doomsayer, resulting in a boardwipe you cannot plan around, much like with Piloted Shredder before. |
| 122 | ** Unlicensed Apothecary, especially if you transformed many other minions at the same time, [[PressXToDie resulting in losing most to all of your health]]. [[note]]This was actually so frequent, the effect was changed to resolve ''after'' it's on the board, removing this interaction.[[/note]] |
| 123 | ** Bomb Squad, with a deathrattle that damages your hero. This is supposed to offset a Battlecry effect that does damage, but since you don't get Battlecry effects through transformation... |
| 124 | ** Majordomo Executus, which can result in your hero being replaced with the [[GlassCannon 8HP]] Ragnaros. |
| 125 | ** Ticking Abomination, whose deathrattle can wipe out your own board. |
| 126 | ** Any Battlecry minion, since their effect doesn't trigger. |
| 127 | ** The Darkness, which cannot be awakened as the opponent doesn't have candles, and cannot be transformed again as it's not a minion. You've just lost a board slot for the rest of the game. Thankfully for Evolve players, this is no longer possible as of Ashes of Outland - Dormant minions that can't awaken on their own can no longer be generated. On the other hand, ones that ''can'' awaken are still fair game, which can still be troublesome if you needed a good minion ''right now''. |
| 128 | ** Anomalus, whose Deathrattle deals 8 damage to all minions. Especially bad if Executus is on the board as well. |
| 129 | ** Bonelord Frostwhisper, whose Deathrattle gives you one free card a turn... [[PowerAtAPrice but kills you after three turns.]] |
| 130 | * Though extremely unlikely, you can theoretically Evolve a minion from 0 mana all the way to 8 mana and keep it a 1/1 with no effect the whole time. Wisp > Elven Archer > Novice Engineer > Sewer Crawler > Wicked Skeleton > Furbolg Mossbinder > Big Time Racketeer > Lynessa Sunsorrow > Hir'eek the Bat. |
| 131 | * ''Galvadon'', the Last Kaleidosaur is often considered the worst of the Quest rewards due to how AwesomeButImpractical it is to summon him. Ultimately, there is the [[https://youtu.be/d83RIvWsYZg?t=323 Galvadon Theme Song]]: |
| 132 | -->''Galvadon, the last Kaleidosaur\ |
| 133 | He's got stealth and a whole lot more\ |
| 134 | Galvadon, the last Kaleidosaur\ |
| 135 | He's not that bad if you don't die turn 4\ |
| 136 | \ |
| 137 | From the Un'goro crater a long time ago\ |
| 138 | Comes an underpowered friend, often too slow\ |
| 139 | \ |
| 140 | Galvadon, the last Kaleidosaur\ |
| 141 | He's got windfury and a whole lot more\ |
| 142 | Galvadon, the last Kaleidosaur\ |
| 143 | He's not that bad if you don't die turn 4\ |
| 144 | \ |
| 145 | Everytime we play him, we don't really care\ |
| 146 | If we finish up the quest before we die to a rogue\ |
| 147 | From rank 23 to the tournament spotlight\ |
| 148 | We found a friend who helps us win at least sometimes\ |
| 149 | \ |
| 150 | Galvadon, the last Kaleidosaur\ |
| 151 | He's got stealth and a whole lot more\ |
| 152 | Galvadon, the last Kaleidosaur\ |
| 153 | He's not that bad if you don't die turn 4'' |
| 154 | * Twilight geomancer doesn't take her valuable gems very seriously... |
| 155 | ** ''Twilight Geomancer:'' ''"Oops! I broke a diamond!"'' |
| 156 | ** ''Twilight Geomancer:'' ''"Ruby to the face!"'' |
| 157 | * Mayor Noggenfogger is pure, undiluted chaos. As long as he's on the field, all targets are chosen randomly. ''All targets''. Want to kill your opponent's Southsea Deckhand with your Mistress of Mixtures? No, I'm pretty sure you wanted to hit your opponent's face. Trying desperately to heal yourself back up with a Greater Healing Potion? Your opponent's Savannah Highmane could surely use it more. Casting a Pyroblast directly at your opponent to end the game? What was that? "Kill myself with Pyroblast?" Coming right up! |
| 158 | ** Better yet, he even randomizes each player's emotes, occasionally selecting the removed "sorry" emote. [[DevelopersForesight Even Heroes added after Gadgetzan still have an available "sorry" emote for the occasion!]] |
| 159 | ** On the plus side, his randomization of attack targets can have your minions attack the enemy hero through a Taunt or strike a Stealthed minion, resulting in lethals or blowouts that should have been impossible. |
| 160 | * The card Sleep With the Fishes depicts a murloc chained to a cinder block at the bottom of a lake. Sounds like a CruelAndUnusualDeath, right? Well, read it again: it's a ''[[FishPerson murloc]]'' who's suffering that fate. [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/hearthstone_gamepedia/images/b/bb/Sleep_with_the_Fishes_full.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20161130191135 The art]] shows said murloc frowning and shrugging. |
| 161 | * Wretched Tiller's voice lines are positively hysterical due to him having the thickest stereotypical Southern accent you can imagine: |
| 162 | --> "Golly bob-howdy, ah am undead!" |
| 163 | * The mage spell Deck of Wonders from the Kobolds and Catacombs expansion shuffles five Scroll of Wonder cards into your deck. When drawn, these scrolls cast a random spell with random targets and immediately replace themselves. This also means you can draw multiple scrolls back-to-back before your turn even starts. What will they cast? When will it happen? What does it accomplish? Will it be good for me? Who knows? |
| 164 | ** Due to the way the spell works, if a Scroll of Wonders replaces itself with another Scroll of Wonders, the game will have to resolve another spell effect inside the original spell effect, leaving no time to register little things like minions dying. So you can have a minion being killed by a fireball before getting hit by a meteor, then getting Divine Shield while its health is in the negative double digits, getting destroyed ''[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill again]]'' on top of that, [[NotQuiteDead before getting returned to the player's hand and undoing all of the above]]. |
| 165 | * How can you tell that Hagatha the Witch is pure evil? Her card text gives a quick run-down: |
| 166 | --> "Curse-bringer, tree-twister, mother of wretched things… [[VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} Hanzo]] [[MemeAcknowledgment main]]." |
| 167 | * Electra Stormsurge's flavor text expresses her exasperation at a possible misplay involving her ability. This doesn't stop players from committing that mistake every now and then. |
| 168 | -->"The coin? You used me for THE COIN!?" |
| 169 | * Priest seems to have some issues hiring good spies. |
| 170 | --> '''Drakonid Operative''': [[OvertOperative SECRET AGENT, COMING THROUGH!]]\ |
| 171 | '''Convincing Infiltrator''': ''(a Faceless One in a [[PaperThinDisguise loose cloak and wooden mask]])'' Greetings, fellow humans![[labelnote:*]]Especially hilarious considering Faceless Ones are shapeshifters.[[/labelnote]]\ |
| 172 | * Maw and Disorder also gave Priest the Incriminating Psychic, who may or may not be the same guy as Drakonid Operative and is no more subdued: |
| 173 | --> "PSYCHIC DETECTIVE, COMING THROUGH!" |
| 174 | * Several minions have special responses for being played against specific heroes, but Khadgar's reaction to being played against himself is arguably the funniest: |
| 175 | --> "Imposter! I am the real Khadgar!" |
| 176 | * Mages normally don't access to weapons, but if you somehow manage to get a swing off while playing as The Amazing Reno, he'll make [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud enthusiastic laser noises]] to himself. |
| 177 | --> ''"Pew! Pew-pew!"'' |
| 178 | * Headmaster Kel'thuzad actually has TWO effects. His listed one with spellburst, and if you have 6 'cat' minions on board with him at the same time, he pops Mr. Bigglesworth into your hand. |
| 179 | * Thanks to ''Madness at the Darkmoon Faire'', the mighty Yogg-Saron has returned! This time around, he'll only activate if his owner's casted 10 spells, but the results are generally worth it- depending on what the Wheel of Yogg lands on, he'll give you one of six wonderful prizes, all of which have wacky effects that, true to form, can either backfire on you or just do silly stuff in general: |
| 180 | ** Mysterybox is his original battlecry and all the random shenanigans it entails. |
| 181 | ** Hand of Fate fills your hand with spells that have their costs reduced to 0 for that turn only, which is handy... unless you get dealt a bad set of spells, anyway. |
| 182 | ** Curse of Flesh fills the empty spaces on the board with random minions, and gives the ones summoned on your side rush. Better hope you don't get stuck with some weak minions and/or Deathwing or the like doesn't get summoned on your opponent's side! |
| 183 | ** Mindflayer Goggles steals 3 random enemy minions. Of course, it's random what Yogg decides to yoink, so hopefully you don't get stuck with your opponent's sloppy seconds. |
| 184 | ** Devouring Hunger destroys all other minions and gives Yogg their attack and health. This usually means that Yogg pops onto the board with truly ''ludicrous'' statlines like 32 attack/48 health, practically guaranteeing you a win! However, if your opponent happens to have a deathrattle minion that kills an enemy minion on death, like Convincing Infiltrator, this effect basically just amounts to a board clear. And if this triggers with ''Sylvanas'' on board... well, there's a concede button for a reason. And, of course, be wary of your opponent completely shrugging off the resulting uber-threat with Polymorph, Hex, or [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Mind Control]]. |
| 185 | ** Finally, there's Rod of Roasting. You know, the Dungeon Run treasure that repeatedly casts Pyroblast on random targets until either you or your opponent dies? Don't worry though, all the other effects have a 19% chance of activating compared to this one, which has a measly 5% chance! [[BlatantLies With those odds, there's no way this'll blow up in your face!]] |
| 186 | *** With that being said, if you're immune and Yogg-Saron rolls this, it's a guaranteed win, as Yogg-Saron's Rod of Roasting is capped at 60 casts of Pyroblast. If your hero is still alive by the time that sixtieth cast, [[OneHitKill you win instantly, regardless of the opponent's condition.]] |
| 187 | * Remember all those Ogres from ''Goblins vs. Gnomes'' that had a 50% chance of attacking the wrong enemy? Well, ''Darkmoon Faire'' introduces the Optimistic Ogre, which now has a 50% chance of attacking the ''correct'' one! |
| 188 | * The Nightmare Amalgam and Circus Amalgam count as every type of minion: demon, dragon, murloc, pirate, totem, mech, and beast. The result is some pretty ridiculous artwork: for example, the picture of the Circus Amalgam shows a creature with the head of a dragon...wearing a pirate's hat...with its back being a large murloc head with horns sticking out of the sides. It has mechanical arms extending from that torso, one of which ends in a tentacle and the other of which ends in a totem. And finally, its body and legs seem to be that of a gorilla. |
| 189 | * ''Forged in the Barrens'' '''finally''' introduces perhaps the most powerful minion in the game: the backbone of the Horde army, the almighty '''PEON!''' |
| 190 | --> '''Peon''': [[MemeticMutation What you want?]] |
| 191 | * This set also introduces poor Mankrik as a 3/4 neutral Legendary that takes his iconic original quest and turns it into a mechanic- his battlecry enacts the "quest", interpreted as shuffling the [[BlackComedy Beaten Cor]]- er, Olgra, [[MemeticMutation Mankrik's Wife]], into your deck, which, upon being drawn, resummons Mankrik as a 3/10 that immediately attacks the enemy hero. There's also his flavor text: |
| 192 | --> ''Relives his nightmare every time a new Horde player is created.'' |
| 193 | ** If you manage to re-use Mankrik; you can have multiple Olgras in your deck. It is entirely possible to chain-draw them, leading to a horde of Mankriks spawning; each one yelling OLLLLGRAAAAAA! |
| 194 | * Leeroy Jenkins being a legendary minion when the game launched was one thing, but ''United in Stormwind'' adding a card referencing that time Blizzard helped ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' [[Recap/SouthParkS10E8MakeLoveNotWarcraft parody their own game]] is another thing entirely. The card in question is the boys' grinding target, a weak 1/1 Elwynn Boar. Should you opt to grind like they did and have 7 friendly copies of Elwynn Boar die (''thankfully'' not 65,340,285 like in the episode, as the card's flavor text helpfully reminds us), its Deathrattle activates, equipping you with the one-and-only Sword of a Thousand Truths. It has 3 durability, would cost ''10 mana'' if you were to somehow get it by some other means, and ''has 15 Attack'' and '''destroys your opponent's mana crystals with each swing'''. It's both hilarious and ''ridiculously awesome'' at the same time. |
| 195 | * SI:7 Smuggler from ''Onyxia's Lair'' shows a rogue dressed in an extremely bad whelp costume with comical AngryEyebrows somehow [[PaperThinDisguise perfectly blending in with Onyxia's egg clutch]]. [[WordOfGod According to Cora]], this is literally the directions given to the artist: |
| 196 | -->''"An asian female human SI:7 secret agent deep undercover as a dragon whelp. In a bad costume, but somehow not getting discovered, hiding amongst the eggs."'' |
| 197 | * Summoning Imp King Rafaam without Infusing him first will have him [[LargeHam hammily]] declare "GO IMPS! DO MY BIDDING! AHAHAHAHA -- [[FailedAttemptAtDrama and they're throwing books...]]". If you then attack with him, his battle cry is "I'm ''SurroundedByIdiots''!" |
| 198 | * Denathrius' line upon being infused then summoned - considering his Lifesteal, you could even argue that it's LeaningOnTheFourthWall: |
| 199 | -->'''Denathrius:''' A toast, to all who sought to kill me! ''You failed.'' |
| 200 | * The announcement for the Caverns of Time set was a pretty hype moment, but it had a few funny things snuck in there: |
| 201 | ** A lot of people burst out laughing at Flame Lance's new effect: "Deal [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill 25 damage]] to a minion." It's a bit of a step up from only dealing 8. |
| 202 | ** Worgen Greaser was a memetically bad 4 mana 6/3 VanillaUnit, that was so lambasted that Blizzard promised to print more interesting cards going forward. For an AprilFools joke in 2022, the card was secretly buffed to a 6/4. Now with this announcement, it was buffed again into a '''6/5''', which is ''huge'' for a 4-drop. |
| 203 | * Among the various Excavatable treasures from ''Showdown in the Badlands'' is [[{{Spoonerism}} Ogrefist Boulder]], a location that sets a minion's stats to 6/7. The artwork is a rock in the shape of Boulderfist Ogre. |
| 204 | * Necrolord Draka from ''Murder at Castle Nathria'' enters play declaring "In death, I've mastered the art of [[SuddenlyShouting SUBTLETY]]!" Being [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy an Orc]], her idea of "subtlety" (read: stabbing people in the face) [[WithCatlikeTread clearly differs quite a bit from the usual definition]]. |
| 205 | * ''Whizbang's Workshop'' is practically an entire ''expansion'' of goofiness and whimsy, thanks to the "magical toy workshop" theme. Highlights include: |
| 206 | ** One of Demon Hunter's legendaries is [[https://hearthstone.wiki.gg/wiki/Ci%27Cigi Ci'Cigi]], a sporeling card collector (as her PunnyName suggests) who gives you 3 random Demon Hunter cards on death. The kicker? Because she's ''that'' hardcore a collector, they're ''original overpowered Demon Hunter cards from Ashes of Outlands' launch''... though as she puts it, they're "perfectly balanced." |
| 207 | --->''She once bought a 1of1 Golden Skull of Gul'dan written entirely in Thalassian for 2,000,000 Gold.'' |
| 208 | ** [[https://hearthstone.wiki.gg/wiki/Flash_Sale Flash Sale]], a Paladin spell that summons an Annoy-o-Tron and buffs your board, depicts one of the buggers in a window display with signs and pointing arrows aplenty. Seems even ''Whizbang'' has trouble getting rid of Annoy-o-Trons. |
| 209 | ** Priest gets a new cheap buff spell in the form of [[https://hearthstone.wiki.gg/wiki/Purifying_Power Purifying Power]], which gives your board by +1/+2... but not ''before'' doing as its namesake did and Silence it. Could this be the card the fabled [[MemeAcknowledgement Unicorn Priest]] needs to succeed? If the card's art is any indication, the answer is... probably! |
| 210 | ** Hey, remember Flamewreathed Faceless? That 4 mana 7/7 Shaman minion? Well, now Shaman gets to make ''any 4 mana minion'' a 7/7 thanks to its new spell, [[https://hearthstone.wiki.gg/wiki/Incredible_Value Incredible Value]]! And just to make the joke even more funny, the card art depicts a guy dressed as Boulderfist Ogre. |
| 211 | ** [[https://hearthstone.wiki.gg/wiki/Game_Master_Nemsy Game Master Nemsy]]. Just ''imagining'' this little gnome girl [=DMing=] a tabletop campaign and sadistically torturing her victims (her words, not ours), all while sitting smugly from behind her GM screen is hilarious. |
| 212 | ** Warlock also gets a new alternative win condition in [[https://hearthstone.wiki.gg/wiki/Wheel_of_DEATH!!! Wheel of DEATH!!!]] (yes, that's actually how the name's written), which for 8 mana guarantees you win in five turns' time... but also destroys your deck. As funny as it is, what ''really'' makes this card hilarious is scenarios where a card that casts random spells casts this and puts you on the backfoot. Played your eighth Chaotic Tendril? Spin the wheel! Played Yogg (or any of his derivatives)? Spin the wheel! And of course, it's even more hilarious if you somehow manage to actually ''win'' from this. |
| 213 | ** [[https://hearthstone.wiki.gg/wiki/Caricature_Artist Caricature Artist]] draws a 5-mana or more minion... and gives it a funny moustache. No, ''really'', that's what she does. It doesn't actually impact the minion's stats or anything, it just has a funny moustache plastered on it now. |
| 214 | [[/folder]] |
| 215 | |
| 216 | [[folder:Decks and Combos]] |
| 217 | * Murloc decks. Despite being a universal joke ingame. Murloc decks are insanely good at early game wins (especially when combined with the Warlock's drawing ability) because everything is cheap, and buffs other Murlocs. You can get to turn four and have a small army of Murlocs with +2+2 easily. |
| 218 | ** Even better when it's Murloc Deck Vs Murloc Deck. Since Murlocs buff ALL other Murlocs, not just yours, these games get silly pretty fast. Two Murloc Warleaders on each players side of the board gives any incoming Murloc +8/+4. Throw in 2 Grimscale Oracles on each side, and you have any Murloc getting +12/+4. |
| 219 | *** It should be noted that a patch (October 2016) slightly reworked Murloc cards so that only friendly Murlocs buff each other, not every Murloc on the field. This change came about partly with the upcoming Gadgetzan expansion featuring increased synergy with drawing and summoning Murlocs on a single turn. That said, Murlocs are still a terrifying force when played properly. |
| 220 | ** The best part? Think about who you are fighting against. Basically, you are defeating Two Warchiefs, The Warlock, the Archmage of Dalaran, the first Archdruid, one of the first Paladins, the Prince of Stormwind, a badass Rogue and a Champion of the Horde, enemies that often need an entire raid of players to defeat, and this deck manages it by using murlocs...MURLOCS. Even better if using Morgl the Oracle, a Murloc Shaman Hero! |
| 221 | ** Also, playing a Murloc deck can be hilarious simply because you hear the Murlocs' silly battle cry (difficult to type, but it sounds roughly like "aGRLRLRLRa") over and over and over again. |
| 222 | ** Paladins have a card called Vilefin Inquisitor which changes their hero power so that it summons Silver Hand Murlocs which are basically Murlocs dressed up as Paladins. |
| 223 | * The Coin is a card that the second player gets to even gameplay. Only one is given. Yet, with the use of 2 Lorewalker Chos (One genuine, the other duplicated), [[http://youtu.be/Dd5Z-skKyKM?t=33m45s TotalBiscuit manages to win a round]] by ''flooding his opponent's hand with The Coin'' |
| 224 | ** Combine four Lorewalker Cho (one genuine, three duplicated) with King Mukla. [[http://youtu.be/aadNVG2QYvw?t=58m20s Hope you like Bananas!]] |
| 225 | * Most decks that feature frequent use of the RandomNumberGod have the potential for hilarity. Especially a deck built around Yogg-Saron. |
| 226 | * Get both Feugen and Stalagg on the board and then kill them at the exact same time, which is easiest to accomplish with a Void Terror. Since they're both dead, Thaddeus is spawned immediately... except the game checks whether the "Feugen and Stalagg have both died" condition has been fulfilled ''after'' they both die. Thus, both their deathrattles activate and ''two'' Thaddeuses are spawned. Rivendare on the board? [[NoKillLikeOverkill That's four Thaddeuses.]] One 11/11 minion is a major, but manageable threat. Two or four 11/11 minions are more or less a death sentence, barring several taunt minions to keep them at bay or CrazyPrepared levels of removal. |
| 227 | * The "YES! Paladin" joke deck is a deck filled with 1-cost spells and a Skulking Geist. It stalls until it gets to play Skulking Geist, thereby destroying the rest of its resources. How does it win? It doesn't. It's a way to concede in style as you pretty much tell your opponent "[[BluntYes Yeah, I just did that.]]" Sometimes the opponent [[CrazyEnoughToWork concedes anyway]], other times they just capitalize on the free win you handed them. Regardless, someone's getting a BigYes out of it. |
| 228 | ** A serious variant capitalizes on the deck destruction, by running Holy Wrath and Molten Giant. After destroying the deck, what's left is the Wrath and Giants, boiling down to a gamble on whether your Holy Wrath will deal 5 or 25 damage. Taking the risk and destroying the opponent in one shot is definitely worth a '''YES!''' |
| 229 | [[/folder]] |
| 230 | |
| 231 | [[folder:Single Player Content]] |
| 232 | !Curse of Naxxramas |
| 233 | * Curse of Naxxramas features the lich Kel'Thuzad taunting you as you progress through the five wings of bosses. Highlights include: |
| 234 | -->'''Kel'Thuzad:''' "''Maexxna is '''A GIANT SPIDER!''' (in the hammiest voice possible) [[EvilLaugh MUAHAHAHA!]]''"\ |
| 235 | '''Kel'Thuzad:''' (after Maexxna plays Sea Giant, a card which makes sense tactically[[note]]She's a ZergRush kind of boss[[/note]] but not so much thematically) "''Sea Giant? Maexxna, [[BreakingTheFourthWall that is NOT on my approved card list]]!''"\ |
| 236 | '''Kel'Thuzad:''' "''Faerlina is training acolytes to worship me. Her job is ''VERY IMPORTANT''. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Do not. disturb her!]]''"\ |
| 237 | '''Kel'Thuzad:''' (After player defeats Loatheb) "''You keep KILLING MY MINIONS! Stop it! Stop it right this minute!''"\ |
| 238 | '''Kel'Thuzad:''' "''[[MoveAlongNothingToSeeHere Please ignore]] the Mind Control stones next to Razuvious''"\ |
| 239 | '''Kel'Thuzad:''' (After Razuvious is defeated) "''Who will train my Death Knights now?! I can't do it myself! I'm '''SUPER''' busy!''"\ |
| 240 | '''Kel'Thuzad:''' (After [[WhyWontYouDie Gothik]] is defeated) "''Why doesn't Gothik come back as Spectral Gothik? [[FridgeLogic C'mon]]!!''"[[note]]Later referenced in the An Evil Exchange tavern brawl, where coming back as Spectral Gothik is exactly what Gothik's legendary card does.[[/note]] |
| 241 | -->'''Kel'Thuzad:''' (When Sapphiron casts Pure Cold for the first time) ''"Sapphiron, execute plan: FREEZE THE BLOOD IN YOUR VEINS."'' |
| 242 | * Patchwerk's strategy, befitting an Abomination, uses exactly one actual card; his Hero Weapon card that constantly refreshes when it's broken. He just attacks you directly whenever he can, and uses his Hero Power to instantly kill one minion. Yes, Patchwerk is playing a card game without even having a deck. And depending on how things go for you, [[AchievementsInIgnorance he can WIN without a deck]]. |
| 243 | * The fact that ''[[JokeCharacter Mr. Bigglesworth]]'', a 0-cost 1/1 ''kitty'', is ranked as a ''Legendary''. |
| 244 | ** Even funnier is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXqVYeQq-8E the early days when people start discovering the existence of this card.]] |
| 245 | --->'''durleck:''' "And he's not hitting it! Wait, what happens if I..." ''(buffs Mr. Bigglesworth with +2[=/=]+2 and Taunt from Houndmaster)'' "Go, Mr. Bigglesworth, gooo! [[TemptingFate Would you hurt Mr. Bigglesworth? You wouldn't hurt Mr. Bigglesworth, would you? Please don't hurt Mr. Bigglesworth..."]] |
| 246 | --->''[[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard Kel'Thuzad proceeded to Shadow Bolt the Houndmaster, and his minions ignored Mr. Bigglesworth's Taunt effect.]]'' |
| 247 | --->'''durleck:''' "WHAT?! I... I don't know anymore..." |
| 248 | *** There's actually a unique game mechanic behind this one — Mr. Bigglesworth has permanent Stealth, which is never rendered on the card. Case in point: If one were to silence the kitty and ''then'' give it Taunt, Kel'Thuzad would be forced to attack it. |
| 249 | *** Even funnier is if you use this to your advantage by buffing Mr. Bigglesworth up and then using him to ''kill Kel'Thuzad''. Yes, it has been done. |
| 250 | |
| 251 | !Blackrock Mountain |
| 252 | * From the Blackrock Mountain expansion, High Justice Grimstone has a deck full of legendaries and an accompanying soundbite for each one, and some of them are pretty funny: |
| 253 | --> '''High Justice Grimstone:''' Aw, who let ''him'' into the arena? ('''Millhouse Manastorm''') |
| 254 | --> '''High Justice Grimstone:''' Coming to you all the way from the [[ForeShadowing mission after this one]], Emperor Thaurissan! |
| 255 | --> '''High Justice Grimstone:''' Ladies and... Oops! Out of time! ('''Nozdormu''') |
| 256 | * Trying to be clever with Moira Bronzebeard during the encounter with Emperor Thaurissan can yield some [[NiceJobBreakingItHero unintentionally hilarious outcomes]]. Returning her to Thaurassian's hand through the use of Sap causes him to [[CurbStompBattle unceremoniously one-shot the player with his hero power]] as, obviously per her description, [[ExactWords her presence prevents him from using his hero power]]. Using Mind Control on her might cause Thaurassian to kill her himself and [[NeverMyFault blame the player for the deed]], before using his hero power. He also rather conveniently lacks any sort of direct-damage spells in his deck, because if given any way to immediately remove Moira from the board, he ''[[ArtificialBrilliance will]]'' use it. |
| 257 | ** Prince Renathal also leads to shenanigans given that he lets the player start with 40 health, and Thaurissan's OneHitKill hero power deals 30. So if you use Renathal as a Paladin and set Eye for an Eye after getting rid of Moira, Thaurissan will (at least on normal mode) unceremoniously [[HoistByHisOwnPetard burn himself to a crisp]] while you survive on a sliver of health. |
| 258 | * Wing 3 of Blackrock Mountain where Nefarian is freaking out as the player marches up Blackrock Spire, when he was previously under the impression the player was trying to help him. Suddenly seeing the otherwise composed, imposing dragon slowly ''[[VillainousBreakdown losing his mind]]'' is what sells it. |
| 259 | --> '''Nefarian:''' ''Why are you here? Ragnaros is dead. You should be celebrating with your friends.'' |
| 260 | --> '''Nefarian:''' ''I am confused. There are no Ragnaroses up here. Your quest is complete. Go. Home.'' |
| 261 | --> '''Nefarian:''' ''Look, [[BreakingTheFourthWall go play some ranked mode]]. This adventure is not for you.'' |
| 262 | --> '''Rend Blackhand:''' ''You're on the wrong side of the mountain!'' |
| 263 | --> '''Nefarian:''' ''Even this '''ORC''' knows you're doing it wrong!'' |
| 264 | * Ragnaros [[NotQuiteDead just shows up outta nowhere]] right before the battle with Nefarian and whispers to you that he's ready to help [[NoIndoorVoice in all capital letters]]. ''Whispers''. The mission text deserves mention too, just for how sudden and hilariously awesome it is compared to the other ones: |
| 265 | --> '''Mission Text:''' ''RAGNAROS WANTS YOU TO KNOW HE'S GOT YOUR BACK!'' |
| 266 | * The final wing of Blackrock mountain has some hilarious moments. |
| 267 | ** Keep talking to the Omnotron defense system. He downloads a new OS, and all of his emotes turn to [[AscendedMeme "Hello! Hello! Hello!"]] |
| 268 | ** Just like in the Videogame/WorldOfWarcraft raid, after defeating Maloriak, your Battletag changes to "Slayer of Stupid, Incompetent, and Disappointing Minions" for the fight against Atramedes. |
| 269 | ** When introducing Nefarian: |
| 270 | --->'''Innkeeper:''' [Hero] versus Nefarian...[[BackFromTheDead again]] |
| 271 | ** Nefarian's fireball quotes. "From above!" |
| 272 | * If you play Deathwing against Nefarian, you get a hysterically squeaky emote from him: |
| 273 | -->'''Nefarian''': D-Daddy?? |
| 274 | ** Funnier still, during the rematch in the Hidden Lab, he sounds ANGRY at him. |
| 275 | |
| 276 | !League of Explorers |
| 277 | * If you gain control of the [[UnusableEnemyEquipment Anubisath Temple Guard]] during the fight with the collapsing temple, you get to hear his woes whenever you attack with him. |
| 278 | --> '''Anubisath Temple Guard''': ''Please take me with you! They don't pay me!'' |
| 279 | * The banter between [[LargeHam Reno Jackson]] and [[MissionControl Elise Starseeker]] during the battle against Zinaar. |
| 280 | --> '''Elise:''' (prior to the battle) ''Reno's nearly to the rod but he just *had* to rub the shiny lamp he found.'' |
| 281 | --> '''Reno:''' ''Adventurer! [[SmallNameBigEgo I’m Reno Jackson, world renowned archaeologist, explorer, and treasure hunter.]]'' |
| 282 | --> '''Elise:''' ''[[DeadpanSnarker With the self-control of a magpie.]]'' |
| 283 | * The battle against [[BigBad Arch-Thief Rafaam]] starts with him stealing your deck. You can create a deck that doesn't synergise or work well, turning the fight into a CurbStompBattle. (Provided he doesn't get lucky with his Hero Power.) |
| 284 | * The final battle has the explorers passing artifacts to you to help against Rafaam. Each has their own funny description. |
| 285 | --> '''Finley:''' The [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal magic of a mad mage made manifest]]. ([[MacrossMissileMassacre Crown of Kael'thas]]) |
| 286 | --> '''Reno:''' Funny. This was still in my pocket – I guess you can borrow it. (Eye of Orsis) |
| 287 | --> '''Reno:''' [[ShoutOut I hate snakes.]] [[ForcedTransformation (Hakkari Blood Goblet)]] |
| 288 | --> '''Finley:''' A piece of [[AnimatedArmor Lothar’s Armor]] remained intact after your scrap. (Lothar's Left Greave) |
| 289 | --> '''Brann:''' The ghosts of Karazhan haunt this locket. [[RandomEffectSpell (Medivh's Locket)]] |
| 290 | --> '''Elise:''' Catch! But don’t tell Brann; he loves this pipe! (Khadgar's Pipe) |
| 291 | --> '''Reno:''' This was in a box marked "DO NOT OPEN". So...yeah. Good luck! [[AreaOfEffect (Shard of Sulfuras)]] |
| 292 | --> '''Brann:''' I found this in the Molten Core. [[{{Squick}} Majordomo used it to pick his teeth.]] [[HealThyself (Benediction Splinter)]] |
| 293 | --> '''Elise:''' A sacred artifact of my people. Drink it quickly! [[ManaPotion (Ysera's Tear)]] |
| 294 | --> '''Elise:''' It says [[SchmuckBait “DRINK ME”]], but we found it in [[WalkingWasteland Naxxramas]], so no one’s wanted to try. [[UniversalPoison (Putress' Vial)]] |
| 295 | |
| 296 | !One Night in Karazhan |
| 297 | * Karazhan, one of ''World of Warcraft's'' most beloved, famous raids, was hotly anticipated, requested, and expected to be the adventure to succeed ''Whispers of the Old Gods''. However, instead of the eerie, ancient tower of forsaken magic as it was known before, [[DidntSeeThatComing we got]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlHx7YNWYGY this.]] |
| 298 | ** The ''entire concept'' of Karazhan originally being a place for wicked parties with Medivh channeling the Great Gatsby is so weird and silly that's hard not to snicker a bit. |
| 299 | ** [[BrickJoke Medivh's]] [[TrollingCreator Big]] [[RealAfterAll Birthday]] [[MythologyGag Bash]]. |
| 300 | ** The trio of backup singers that appear throughout the video? They're called the Medivas! |
| 301 | ** And why the disco theme? Because Karazhan is a VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft raid designed for players who have reached level 70. It's a ''seventies'' raid. |
| 302 | ** The cameos. There's Lord Jaraxxus at the start, sporting a goofy grin, a martini, and a party horn, Reno Jackson and Sir Finley chilling in a hot tub with a cow, a bust of a [[VideoGame/StarCraft Protoss]], and presumably [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Arch-Thief Rafaam stealing books completely unnoticed.]] |
| 303 | * The free prologue level's premise is incredibly silly, with Prince Malchezaar storming in uninvited because he's angry he wasn't invited to the party. Throughout the fight, Medivh keeps [[ExcuseMeWhileIMultitask either snarking at his opponent or calling to Moroes about some party detail]]. |
| 304 | -->'''Malchezaar''': You invited Jaraxxus? The weakling? |
| 305 | -->'''Medivh''': Have you heard [[AscendedMeme his karaoke]]? [[note]] This is probably a reference to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkeC9WVVsQ4 Jaraxxus Rap]] [[/note]] He's amazing! |
| 306 | ** In response to another of Malchezaar's taunts, Medivh remembers something important. |
| 307 | --->'''Medivh''': Balloons! Moroes, we forgot the balloons! |
| 308 | --->'''Moroes''': Balloons terrify Murlocs, sir. [[NoodleIncident Remember last week]]? |
| 309 | * The fight against The Magic Mirror, who taunts and insults the player the entire time |
| 310 | -->'''Magic Mirror''': Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all? |
| 311 | -->'''Moroes''': Hmm? |
| 312 | -->'''Magic Mirror''': Not you, grandpa! |
| 313 | ** Throughout the party we have Moroes consistently panicking about the party being ruined and making constant [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft WoW]] references. |
| 314 | --->'''Moroes''': Illidan Stormrage has arrived. WE ARE NOT PREPARED! |
| 315 | --->'''Moroes''': Majodormo Executus is here. Shall I tell him he's arrived too soon? |
| 316 | * Summoning Jaraxxus in the final fight against Malchezarr triggers a hilarious interaction: |
| 317 | -->'''Malchezaar''': You! You! That's ''my'' invitation! |
| 318 | -->'''Jaraxxus''': SILLY PRINCE! [[BrickJoke PRACTICE KARAOKE]] LIKE JARAXXUS! (Yells the first few lines of the League of Explorers theme) |
| 319 | * If you play some of the fights in Karazhan using the purchasable Medivh hero, the bosses will comment on it, with their reactions varying from genuinely mistaking you for Medivh to thinking you've come in costume. But one of the funniest has to go to Medivh himself: |
| 320 | -->'''Medivh''': Oh, wait! You're me?! From the future? Oh! Tell me... how amazing was this party? It was AWESOME, right? |
| 321 | |
| 322 | !Knights of the Frozen Throne |
| 323 | * The prologue to the adventure has its moments. |
| 324 | ** After two turns of a hand rigged to be unplayable while the Lich King sets up an unbeatable board, Jaina finally draws a card she can play -- [[MemeticLoser Magma Rager]]. She's flabbergasted. For bonus points, this is right after Tirion implores her to trust in providence to provide. |
| 325 | ** Tirion then challenges the new Frost Lich, Jaina. His first few turns are spent summoning "Azeroth's best adventurers", which turn out to be absolutely laughable. After the last is summoned, he contemplates getting better adventurers, at which point he starts playing normal cards, but by then it is too late. |
| 326 | *** The cards include an eager rogue, an overpowered 1 mana card... if it wasn't for that fact that it deals no damage while attacking. |
| 327 | *** A terrible tank, who doesn't use a shield, doesn't taunt, and complains about lack of healing. |
| 328 | *** A needy hunter, who adds a coin every time it attacks. |
| 329 | *** A Legendary 5/2 who enters to Tirion's own amazing fanfare. Said Legendary is named... [[RewardingInactivity A. F. Kay]] - and can't attack. |
| 330 | *** A 7/1 Warlock on Fire, which deals one damage to itself at the end of the turn. |
| 331 | ----> '''Tirion:''' [[SurroundedByIdiots I'm going to need]] [[LampshadeHanging some better adventurers...]] |
| 332 | *** Tirion ends the fight by ''Bubble-hearthing.'' For the uninitiated, this is a method which, in VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft proper, utilizes the invulnerability granting Divine Shield with the interrupted-by-damage [[EscapeRope Hearthstone]] for a get-out-of-jail free card. There are only two classes that can counter this, and Jaina, as a mage, is not one of them. |
| 333 | * The Lich King himself is played as a cartoonish {{Jerkass}} parody of a Hearthstone player who is constantly making puns about the game's mechanics, such as noting that he will have to craft another bone golem, perhaps a ''golden'' one, after the player defeats Lord Marrowgar and informing the player that his minions in Icecrown were crafted not with arcane dust, but with HATE. |
| 334 | ** In the tradition of Kel'Thuzad lecturing Maexxna about the inclusion of Sea Giant in her deck, the Lich King lectures Lady Deathwhisper about the non-inclusion of Arcane Explosion in hers. Then after Deathwhisper is defeated, the Lich King declares that he is going to ''netdeck'' a deck which will shroud the world in darkness. |
| 335 | * The final confrontation with the Lich King has him open the battle with a powerful spell that rigs the match in his favour, and it varies depending on which class you've chosen. Mages are subject to HPToOne, Rogues lose all their spells in their hand and deck, Druids lose all cheap-costed minions, etc. As for Priests? He casts "Shut Up, Priest!" which ''muffles their emotes''. |
| 336 | ** For bonus points, if you somehow copy that card and use it on him, it muffles ''his'' emotes. |
| 337 | ---> '''The Lich King:''' But wait you can't- *silence* |
| 338 | * A few amusing interactions to be found within the adventure: |
| 339 | ** Playing Alexstraza against Marrowgar, which halves his health. |
| 340 | ---> '''Marrowgar:''' She licked me! The dragon licked me! |
| 341 | ** Giving Auchenai Soulpriest to Marrowgar[[note]]Which takes a ridiculous amount of luck with his deathrattle effects or playing Silas Darkmoon.[[/note]] |
| 342 | ---> '''Marrowgar:''' Hah hah, now I have your soulpriest. [[ExplainExplainOhCrap Wait, no! Go away! Shoo!]] |
| 343 | *** Even more amusingly, ArtificialStupidity will cause him to self-destruct using his healing Hero Power if he can't rid himself of the Soulpriest. |
| 344 | ** Successfully combining two Blood of the Ancient Ones to summon the 30/30 Ancient One, ready to one-shot Marrowgar on the next turn. |
| 345 | ---> '''Marrowgar:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck I... REGRET... NOTHING!!]] |
| 346 | ** Playing the Lich King against Saurfang. |
| 347 | ---> '''Saurfang:''' What are YOU doing here? |
| 348 | ---> '''The Lich King:''' Don't worry, I can't attack you. |
| 349 | ** Resurrecting Valithria. |
| 350 | ---> '''Deathwhisper:''' I don't like this game anymore. |
| 351 | ** Playing Professor Putricide against... Professor Putricide. |
| 352 | ---> '''Boss Putricide:''' Wah? There's that guy that I am! |
| 353 | ---> '''Card Putricide:''' Good news... Me! |
| 354 | ---> '''Boss Putricide:''' That's not good news at all, you be-tentacled doppelganger! |
| 355 | ** Playing Rotface against Professor Putricide. |
| 356 | ---> '''Putricide:''' Rotface! How could you!? |
| 357 | ---> '''Rotface:''' ...Rotface have NEEDS. |
| 358 | ** Playing Sindragosa against Sindragosa. |
| 359 | ---> '''Sindragosa''' (both of them, simultaneously): Our pathetic magic betrays us! |
| 360 | ** Playing Kel'Thuzad against the Lich King. |
| 361 | ---> '''Kel'Thuzad''' (while being summoned): Glory to the Lich King! |
| 362 | ---> '''Lich King:''' Kel'Thuzad! You're in the wrong adventure! |
| 363 | ** Countering The True Lich.[[note]]By playing Kabal Lackey on turn 1 and following up with a free Counterspell; regrettably no longer possible following Lackey's nerf[[/note]] |
| 364 | ---> '''Lich King:''' How did that get past QA?! |
| 365 | *** Even better, getting The True Lich with Mana Bind and turning it on him (or any other cheat card and using it on him). |
| 366 | ----> '''Lich King:''' Madness! Who tests these adventures!? |
| 367 | ** Using Mind Vision to use "Shut Up, Priest!" on the Lich King. His emote responses will be muffled for the rest of the match, too! |
| 368 | ---> '''Lich King:''' But wait you can't-- (mmmph!) |
| 369 | ** Playing the Lich King against the Lich King. |
| 370 | ---> '''Boss Lich King:''' Hello, handsome. |
| 371 | ---> '''Card Lich King:''' I look good. |
| 372 | ** Playing Sindragosa against the Lich King, causing him to throw a hissy fit: |
| 373 | ---> '''The Lich King:''' She was ''my'' finisher! GIVE HER BACK! |
| 374 | ** Playing Snowflipper Penguin against the Lich King. |
| 375 | ---> '''The Lich King:''' I... ''[[CutenessProximity I love him.]]'' |
| 376 | |
| 377 | !Dungeon Run |
| 378 | * A. F. Kay returns as a rare encounter. Her two-mana hero power does nothing, and she never plays any cards for her first six turns.[[note]]On the seventh turn, she'll instead drop a load of 8/8s.[[/note]] It's probably the most faithful adaptation of that joke you could have. |
| 379 | * Anytime you get a game-breaking combo, such as Cloak of Invisibility[[labelnote:*]]A treasure card that gives your minions permanent stealth for the entire game[[/labelnote]] and Mal'ganis[[labelnote:*]]Makes your hero Immune and gives your other demons +2/+2[[/labelnote]]. Suddenly, you have an army of uber-powered demons and no way for the boss to attack them or your hero. Barring a Twisting Nether or similar card, you automatically win. |
| 380 | * When THE CANDLE shows up as a selectable Treasure, King Togwaggle, as per kobold tradition, tells you "YouNoTakeCandle!" Picking it anyway gets him furious. |
| 381 | * Voodoomaster Vex doubles all Battlecry and Deathrattle effects in his encounter. Problem is, he also runs Bomb Squad, which deals damage to himself when it dies. [[TooDumbToLive And he's not above duplicating it with Carnivorous Cube]], basically winning the fight for you. |
| 382 | * Gnosh the Greatworm's hero power destroys the minion on the board with the highest attack by eating it. If he eats a Poisonous minion, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome he dies instantly]]. Making this especially funny is if you have a cheap enough poisonous minion (such as the Rogue's Pit Snake) this means that you could win the battle as early as ''Turn 2''. |
| 383 | |
| 384 | !Monster Hunt |
| 385 | * Tracker Tess Greymane's Hero Power is 'Scavenge', which Discovers a class spell that has been played during the game. If no class spells have been played, then you get a small rock, which is 0-Mana spell that deals one point of damage. |
| 386 | ** This bit of comedy becomes pure gold against The Whisperer, a boss that makes all spells Echo. Before the nerf to Echo that made each echoed card to have a minimum cost of 1, you could genuinely kill an ancient ghost by [[MoreDakka throwing endless rocks at it.]] |
| 387 | * Azalina Soulthief refers to the [[ZergRush dozens upon dozens of Wisps she summons]] as her children and [[WhatTheHellPlayer gets distressed if you keep killing them]]. The part where this becomes funny is when she plays Spirit Lash with six or seven Wisps on the board, [[HypocriticalHumor destroying all of them to restore her own health]]. |
| 388 | * Toki's nemesis is her future self. PronounTrouble ensues. |
| 389 | * The game mode determines the nemesis you face based on the class you're playing. As Tess, it's entirely possible to steal a Death Knight card of a different class, which has interesting results on the penultimate opponent when the game pits you against a different boss entirely. What happens if you picked up a Death Knight that isn't Rogue, Mage, Warrior, or Hunter? Your nemesis is chosen randomly, but more often than not the game picks Gobbles, one of the first bosses you fight in this mode. Its health is appropriately scaled up to 70, but its deck and Hero Power remain unchanged, [[AntiClimaxBoss so it goes into fatigue incredibly quickly]]. |
| 390 | |
| 391 | !Puzzle Lab |
| 392 | * Poisonmaster Pollark's final Lethal puzzle has a full board of various Deathrattle minions set up for both sides. You have one mana crystal and a single card in hand... which destroys all of your own minions, setting up a glorious chain reaction that wipes out all of his health. |
| 393 | * Dr. Boom's penultimate Lethal puzzle is titled "Never Go Full Northshire", with the task being to clear out his monstrous 400+ health with fatigue damage from numerous Northshire Cleric draw triggers. After much thinking, many resets and missed lethals, the player finally gets the solution and proceeds to the final puzzle... which is titled "Full Northshire", and asks the player to [[HereWeGoAgain do the same thing]], except with Dr. Boom having '''999''' health. |
| 394 | |
| 395 | !Rumble Run |
| 396 | * All nine troll opponents have playable minion versions of themselves (except Zul'jin, who is a hero card). It's possible for a class that can utilise [[PowerCopying class copying]] like Rogue or Priest being able to gain a troll opponent's card and ''[[MesACrowd play it against them,]] [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight which the troll opponents treat as normal]].'' It's even funnier if you deal the final blow ''with themself''! |
| 397 | * The Paladin shrine Shirvallah's Vengeance will deal a 5-damage CounterAttack to the opponent when its hero is damaged. However, if it goes against the Warlock shrine Hi'reek's Hunger, which [[AttackReflector deflects all damage taken by its hero back to the opponent]], Shirvallah's Vengeance will attempt to damage the enemy hero, but Hi'reek's Hunger will keep {{No Sell}}ing the damage and [[HoistByHisOwnPetard reflecting it onto the poor paladin instead]], which ''[[CycleOfHurting continues over and over until the paladin hero is defeated]]''. Using Hi'reek's Hunger will turn High Priest Thekal's boss fight into a [[CurbStompBattle walk in the park]] when you can initiate the CycleOfHurting by using a low-cost self-damage card such as Flame Imp, Kobold Librarian and even ''the Warlock's own hero power!'' |
| 398 | |
| 399 | !The Great Dalaran Heist |
| 400 | * One of the first bosses you can encounter is the Carousel Gryphon. Its vaguely-worded Hero Power means there's no way for you to figure out what will happen until you experience it yourself, and some misplays with it can spell [[LethalJokeCharacter your ultimate demise]]. Even the Innkeeper is a little puzzled at this opponent. |
| 401 | -->'''Innkeeper:''' [Hero name]... versus... [[DoubleTake a carousel?]] |
| 402 | ** Some of the playable heroes have unique intro responses. Barkeye complains about the ride giving him splinters, while Eudora states [[ComplainingAboutThingsYouHaventPaidFor she wants a refund]]. |
| 403 | * One of the bosses you encounter in the Violet Hold is Millificent Manastorm[[note]]Misspelled as Mallificent[[/note]], Millhouse's wife. As it happens, a Millhouse card shuffles into your deck during the game, prompting her to assault you to get to him. Playing him is hilarious enough owing to both Millificent's enraged reaction and Millhouse's [[OhCrap horror]]. If you somehow manage to play out ''five Millhouses at once,'' Millificent just '''screams''' before conceding outright. |
| 404 | * Everything to do with Dazzik "Hellscream". He's a LoonyFan goblin dressed like Garrosh who copies of his mannerisms and does a really bad impression of his voice. He has variations of ''all'' of his emotes, and a few special interactions (including one where he breaks character for a moment then quickly backtracks). The best part? He has a ''Scourgelord Dazzik'' in his deck, that copies all of Scourgelord Garrosh's emotes and is actually a little bit ''stronger'' than Scourgelord Garrosh! |
| 405 | * If you sit idle on the Cravitz Lorent fight for too long, he'll start reading an exert from one of his cheesy romance novels. Including doing voices for the characters, with a really bad girl voice. Did we mention he's a ''[[FanDisservice Forsaken]]''? |
| 406 | * Unlike every other final boss, Khadgar remains an amicable NiceGuy throughout the fight. He offers you advice and tours of the city, and will casually say hello back if you greet him. [[NintendoHard All while beating the snot out of you]]. |
| 407 | |
| 408 | !Tombs of Terror |
| 409 | * Resident ham Reno Jackson was already hilarious... and things don't get any less amusing when he's a playable hero. |
| 410 | ** One of Reno's remarks when starting a new run has him commenting how he's thought ahead to bring his lucky murloc's foot on the adventure. Finley is ''not amused''. |
| 411 | --->'''Finley:''' Your lucky ''what?!?'' |
| 412 | ** Fighting Jythiros of Questions involves a gimmick where guessing the first card he's going to play that turn completely nullifies its effects ''and'' wastes the mana he uses to play it. This can completely trivialize the encounter, not that the BookDumb Reno finds it reassuring. |
| 413 | --->'''Reno:''' A quiz?! Where's Elise? Brann? ...Finley? |
| 414 | ** Reno has a... pretty strong reaction going against Kham, a ghostly ancestral guardian. |
| 415 | --->'''Kham:''' You wish to become a ghost? |
| 416 | --->'''Reno:''' (terrified whimpering) There's no such thing as ghosts, there's no such thing as ghosts... |
| 417 | * One boss you can encounter is the [[HumongousMecha R.O.B.O.L.D.]], a massive kobold war mech. There's something hilarious about how even kobold war machines are programmed to speak in the same [[YouNoTakeCandle broken English]] as kobolds. |
| 418 | -->'''R.O.B.O.L.D.:''' '''[[RoboSpeak R.O.B.O.L.D. IS BEING ONLINE!]]''' |
| 419 | * Just when you thought that a carousel was the strangest boss to come out of single player mode: |
| 420 | -->'''Innkeeper:''' [Hero name]... versus... [[DoubleTake water-toting murlocs?!]] |
| 421 | * One of Bazaar Bob's responses to Brann finding his tavern is to wearily ask him to leave his pets (i.e. the dinosaurs!) outside this time. |
| 422 | |
| 423 | !Galakrond's Awakening |
| 424 | * Dr. Boom getting sidetracked in the fight with Reno. |
| 425 | --> '''Dr. Boom''' Haha, I got you quivering in your- [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny ooh where'd you get those boots?]] |
| 426 | * King Togwaggle trying to get the secrets of dragon magic out of Dragoncaster Askaara, except [[YouNoTakeCandle given his kobold-speak]], it takes a while. At one point, he segues into the analogy that [[InsaneTrollLogic candles breathe fire, and dragons breathe fire, therefore dragons are big candles]]. Suddenly the candle-dragon Waxadred makes a lot more sense. |
| 427 | --> '''Dragoncaster Askaara:''' That... dragon's... candle? What are you talking about? |
| 428 | * Sir Finley consulting Elise about Old Gods below Wyrmrest while being smacked around by one. |
| 429 | --> '''Sir Finley:''' I say... Elise? Are there any Old Gods beneath Wyrmrest?\ |
| 430 | '''Elise:''' [[FailedASpotCheck Not anymore. They've all been taken care of.]]\ |
| 431 | '''Sir Finley:''' CLEARLY they have NOT! |
| 432 | * Rafaam squeeing over Galakrond like a kid with a new pet. A pet that happens to be a draconic monster of apocalyptic proportions. |
| 433 | --> '''Rafaam:''' He will destroy you! He will smack you around with his teeny-tiny arms!\ |
| 434 | '''Rafaam:''' Look! He destroys foes without being told. Good boy! That is a good boy. |
| 435 | ** For his part, Galakrond isn't terribly thrilled by Rafaam's antics. |
| 436 | --> '''Rafaam:''' {{Laugh with me}}, Galakrond! It is no fun to evil laugh alone.\ |
| 437 | '''[[TheComicallySerious Galakrond]]:''' Ha... Ha... Ha...\ |
| 438 | '''Rafaam:''' Ahhh, your laughter is mirthless. You should live in the moment more. |
| 439 | * [[IdiotHero Reno]] didn't [[IAmWho realize he was a dragon]].. despite knowing he was ''[[ImplausibleDeniability born from an egg]]''. |
| 440 | --> '''Reno:''' Now that I think about it, I've always enjoyed casting magic and sitting on large mountains of treasure! |
| 441 | ** Elise notes that in dragon years, Reno would be a juvenile. Which explains ''[[ManChild so much]]''. |
| 442 | ** Rafaam's response to dragon Reno is hilarious too: |
| 443 | --> '''Rafaam:''' What is this? Stop with the thunder-stealing, you... mustachioed moron! |
| 444 | * Some of Rafaam's musings as he realizes [[VictoryIsBoring his hollow victory]] indicate an... interesting childhood... |
| 445 | --> '''Rafaam:''' What if my mother was right? [[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood Maybe I AM terrible and unworthy of love?]] |
| 446 | |
| 447 | !Trial By Felfire |
| 448 | * The ''Entire'' adventure is set up like a stage-play performance, and ''everyone'' RhymesOnADime. Yes, even [[TheComicallySerious Illidan]] and [[LargeHam Jaraxxus]]. |
| 449 | * During chapter 4, on your way to Jaraxxus, you come across an imp. The Flavour Text is bewildered, claiming "This should be easy, right?", and yeah, the imp itself is easy, but some way into the fight, you hear a noise which, if you ever played World Of Warcraft during ''The Burning Crusade'', is bound to get the same reaction as a [[ActionBomb Creeper]] to a ''Videogame/{{Minecraft}}'' player - a ''[[HumongousMecha Fel Reaver]]'' arrives and [[TrampledUnderfoot stomps the imp flat]] without a sweat, just as it did so many players before. |
| 450 | * Kael'thas (who, by the way, puts a 5-mana Pyroblast into his hand every time he casts a spell) gets whiny if you play Counterspell against him. |
| 451 | --> '''Kael'thas''': You can't just... counter my spells. [[HypocriticalHumor That isn't fair!]] |
| 452 | |
| 453 | !Book Of Mercenaries |
| 454 | !!Rokara |
| 455 | * After Guff joins the party, Rokara narrates what happens next, and mentions that their new tauren friend turned out to be "a handful." We immediately see what she means as Guff speaks up: |
| 456 | --> '''Guff:''' Look! [[TooDumbToLive It's a cute little scorpid!]] Hey little guy. Ouch! Careful! You poked me with your stinger there. Aww, the scorpid was just saying hi, weren't you...oh...feeling a little woozy. |
| 457 | * Not long afterwards, Rokara has to interrupt her narration to yell for Guff to get away from the water. But she's too late, and the description for Isha Awak, the giant threshadon he catches the attention of, says "Rokara begins to realize that Guff's affection for monstrous creatures is hazardous to her health." |
| 458 | --> '''Guff:''' That is Isha Awak! Terror of the sea! It eats orcs. And it's cute.\ |
| 459 | '''Rokara:''' Well, tell him my armor tastes terrible.\ |
| 460 | '''Guff:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint A little salt, some spices, and I'm sure we can make your armor taste great!]] |
| 461 | ** In the middle of the fight, Varden Dawngrasp appears on the board. Where were they earlier? Well... |
| 462 | -->'''Dawngrasp:''' Note to self: Frostbolt causes indigestion in gargantuan aquatic fauna.\ |
| 463 | '''Guff:''' That elf must ALSO taste terrible. |
| 464 | * The penultimate fight ends with Kazakus urging Rokara to kill Feegly the Exhiled, which she has defeated in cold blood. When she refuses, he takes care of it himself by doing [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill 99 damage]] to Feegly. Rokara says she couldn't do it because there was no honor in the kill. Bru'kan, Guff, and Dawngrasp all have reassuring words for her. As for [[TokenEvilTeammate Tamsin]]... |
| 465 | --> '''Tamsin:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Nobody is perfect, Rokara. But don't worry, you can mercilessly crush your enemies next time]]. |
| 466 | * Garrosh later has what could be a ShoutOut to Creator/MrT, but counts as funny even if it isn't: |
| 467 | -->'''Garrosh:'''Why did you spare the life of that FREAK who had stolen the shard?\ |
| 468 | '''Rokara:''' I pitied him. As Horde I showed him mercy.\ |
| 469 | '''Garrosh:''' Heh. I pity those that show mercy. |
| 470 | |
| 471 | !!Xyrella |
| 472 | * As the representative of the Priest class, Xyrella naturally fits the healer role of the team, and her Hero Power reflects this: she can resurrect both Tavish and Scabbs out of their dormant state if they get killed. One of her voice clips reflects the many times she's had to do this through their adventures. |
| 473 | --> '''Xyrella:''' (exasperated) Stop getting aggro! |
| 474 | * Scabbs' skills with knives and close combat naturally prompt Xyrella and Tavish to question him about his SI:7 affiliations. Naturally, Scabbs denies this, playing up his history as a chef... not that it stops him from constantly pointing out the skills of the group's opponents and referencing SI:7. |
| 475 | |
| 476 | !!Guff |
| 477 | * When Guff's not being a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming, he's usually this - like encouraging the player to start his adventure by pressing the big button. But not too hard, because the last time he tried it, he ended up breaking it. |
| 478 | |
| 479 | !!Kurtrus |
| 480 | * Kurtrus' story is tense, tragic, and full of moments where characters have to fight each other unwillingly... save for one moment when Kurtrus has to fight Cariel Roame to get to Tamsin, who's there purely to watch her sister and ally fight each other. |
| 481 | -->'''Kurtrus:''' (after Tamsin admits that she's trying to summon the demon that killed his family) Now do you see?! She admits it!\ |
| 482 | '''Cariel:''' (desperately pleading) Let me fix this. I thought she was dead!\ |
| 483 | '''Tamsin:''' I ''AM'' dead! |
| 484 | |
| 485 | !!Tamsin |
| 486 | * Tamsin's story sees her defeat Kurtrus, turn on her allies and proceed to unleash demons on Stormwind... until she comes across a lowly cheesemonger, strongly hinted to be Elling Trias, a rumored SI:7 agent. The seriousness of the situation doesn't stop the cheesemonger from having friendly banter with Tamsin, having a line for almost every card he plays, much to Tamsin's chagrin... not that it stops her from responding back. |
| 487 | -->'''Cheesemonger:''' (Turn 3) You'd better watch yourself. There's more to me than meets the eye.\ |
| 488 | '''Tamsin:''' (noting the cheesemonger is, indeed, wearing an eyepatch) I won't say it. It's too easy. Don't say it. |
| 489 | -->'''Cheesemonger:''' (playing City Architect) Our greatest defender is Stormwind itself!\ |
| 490 | '''Tamsin:''' Pah! Just another brick in the wall. |
| 491 | --> '''Cheesemonger:''' (playing Spice Bread Baker) It is wise to stay nourished during a fight.\ |
| 492 | '''Tamsin''': [[TranquilFury The bread and my anger are rising.]] |
| 493 | -->'''Cheesemonger:''' (playing Peasant, unused voiceline) They're always ready for work.\ |
| 494 | '''Tamsin:''' (mockingly) "Yes m'lord! Yes m'lord!" Uggch, give it a rest! |
| 495 | |
| 496 | !!Tavish |
| 497 | * To the Innkeeper's confusion, the night before Tavish's group moves on Alterac Valley is represented as a puzzle. His absolutely underwhelmed reaction sells it: |
| 498 | -->'''Innkeeper:''' Tavish! Versus! ...A quiet night?\ |
| 499 | |
| 500 | !!Bruk'an |
| 501 | * The Horde mercenaries gather for their night around the campfire, and the Innkeeper is just as confused as before. |
| 502 | -->'''Innkeeper:''' Bru'kan! Versus! ...Another quiet night? |
| 503 | * Rokara cheerfully declares that she's made Savory Deviate Delight for the team's dinner. Dawngrasp, having had a prior experience with the dish before, warns Rokara that the last time they had Savory Deviate Delight they ended up speaking like a pirate for the rest of the day. Dawngrasp then blanches as they realize [[IAteWhat that Rokara must have held onto the deviate fish since their adventure in the Wailing Caverns]]. Which was over ''eight months prior'', based on the mini-set's release date. |
| 504 | |
| 505 | [[/folder]] |
| 506 | |
| 507 | [[folder:Heroes]] |
| 508 | * Some of the alternate skins for the base heroes are absolutely hilarious. In particular, any skin that takes the grim and serious Illidan and does something goofy with him is always amusing. Sabertender Illidan depicts him as a BadlyBatteredBabysitter crawling in nightsaber kittens, all while still futilely reinforcing that he's still a badass despite the adorable cats, while Illidan the Naughty has him extremely annoyed with getting coal for Winter Vale, even saying "Bah, humbug" as his greetings quote. |
| 509 | -->'''Illidan the Naughty's FlavorText''': He would like to know who gifted him a lump of coal, but the real question is [[HatedByAll who wouldn't.]] |
| 510 | * SI:7 Anduin tries to act like a tough guy, but doesn't do a great job at it. |
| 511 | -->'''Selected in Arena''': I don't always play nice! But... usually. |
| 512 | * Little Lion Anduin is an AppropriatedAppelation showing that even little lions will grow up to be the king of the jungle. It would probably be more effective if he didn't [[CutenessProximity keep gushing about how cute the lion cub is]]. |
| 513 | * Hatcher Gul'dan shows him infusing an Easter egg with fel energy while an army of pink bunnies with horns and green eyes are standing behind him. His quotes are almost entirely made of [[PungeonMaster godawful egg puns]]. |
| 514 | * Garrosh the Wild depicts him as a NatureHero... apparently completely against his will, after some fools gave him a ClingyCostume with nature powers. Rather than talk about the wild like you might expect, ''literally every single one'' of his new quotes is about how pissed he is that he got tricked into wearing this costume. |
| 515 | -->''For some, spending time in nature is soothing and therapeutic... But not for Garrosh.'' |
| 516 | * Denwatcher Rexxar takes the role of TheComicallySerious while watching over Misha's cubs. |
| 517 | -->'''Selected in Arena''': ''(completely deadpan)'' I watch over the dens. It is a very adorable charge. |
| 518 | * Selecting Garrosh of Might in Arena will have him yell "If only I could solve this with time travel!", poking fun at the plot of ''Warlords of Draenor''. |
| 519 | * The Rise of the Naga event added a bunch of murloc-themed skins. Their lines are a HurricaneOfPuns and/or Nerglish-ified parodies of their original quotes. Some highlights: |
| 520 | ** Mrrgillidan: |
| 521 | --->(greetings) Seafood draws close.[[note]](mirror) I will get the bib.[[/note]]\ |
| 522 | (wow) Gbrlrlrbrlrr! *sheepishly clears throat*\ |
| 523 | (thinking) Murgles? Murgles. |
| 524 | ** Guff Murtotem: |
| 525 | --->(greetings) Are you fish or frog?[[note]](mirror) Uhhh, kinda both? I think?[[/note]]\ |
| 526 | (thanks) My wise uncle once said, "Gugrle blrlr!".\ |
| 527 | (time running out) That fishing line is sizzling! |
| 528 | ** Jaina Proudmurgle: |
| 529 | --->(start) [[ForcedTransformation That spell didn't go as planned!]]\ |
| 530 | (greetings) Greetings from the daughter of the sea.\ |
| 531 | (low cards) My deck's looking... shrimpy. |
| 532 | ** Murragnaros: |
| 533 | --->(threaten) MURRAGNAROS WILL '''FIN'''ISH YOU!\ |
| 534 | (attack) DIE, FINSECT!\ |
| 535 | (concede) YOU HAVE ONLY DELAYED THE FINEVITABLE! |
| 536 | * Many of the seasonal emotes are quite amusing, especially among the alternate skins. |
| 537 | ** [[HalloweenEpisode Hallow's End]]: |
| 538 | --->'''Dame Hazelbark''': I'm getting too old for Hallow's End.\ |
| 539 | '''Deathwing''': A day of gloom and death? Delightful.\ |
| 540 | '''Mecha-Jaraxxus''': It is Hallow's End. AND YOURS AS WELL.\ |
| 541 | '''The Thunder King''': Distract yourself with candy and costumes. I will plot.\ |
| 542 | '''Sir Annoy-o''': Hallow! Hallow! Hallow!\ |
| 543 | '''Yrel''': ''(genuinely scared)'' It is Hallow's End. Light protect us all!\ |
| 544 | '''Rokara''': Happy Hallow's End. Guff ate all my candy. |
| 545 | ** [[EasterSpecial Noblegarden]]: |
| 546 | --->'''Illidan''': Hunting for eggs is fine practice for hunting demons.\ |
| 547 | '''Maiev''': Happy Noblegarden! '''[[TheComicallySerious Where are the eggs?]]'''\ |
| 548 | '''Rastakhan''': For de last time, there are no eggs in my hat!\ |
| 549 | '''Vashj''': You call THIS Noblegarden? All the nobles are under the sea!\ |
| 550 | '''N'Zoth''': Numberless eggs hidden in the deeps...\ |
| 551 | '''Tamsin''': As a child, [[PokeThePoodle I released Cariel's pet rabbit into the wild!]]\ |
| 552 | '''Leeroy''': Go on the count of three. One... NOBLEGARDEN!!!! |
| 553 | ** [[TalkLikeAPirate Pirate Day]]: |
| 554 | --->'''Gul'dan''': Pirate's Day? I don't get it.\ |
| 555 | '''Arthas''': It's good to be Arrrrrrrthas!\ |
| 556 | '''Illidan''': All aboard the SS Betrayer, to sail the seas of treachery!\ |
| 557 | '''Khadgar''': We celebrate... sea criminals today?\ |
| 558 | '''Morgl''': <Pirates?! We were here first!>\ |
| 559 | '''Sir Annoy-o''': Ahoy! Ahoy! Ahoy!\ |
| 560 | '''Sylvanas''': Shiver me - eh, whatever.\ |
| 561 | '''Rastakhan''': When de king approves, it is called privateering.\ |
| 562 | '''Tyrande''': Power Word: Yarrrrr!\ |
| 563 | '''Ragnaros''': BET YOU DIDN'T EXPECT CAP'N RAGNAAAARROS AT YOUR SERVICE, BUCKO!\ |
| 564 | '''Mecha-Jaraxxus''': Yo ho REPEAT yo ho PIRATE LIFE ENGAGED.\ |
| 565 | '''N'Zoth''': Yo... ho... ho...\ |
| 566 | '''Hamuul''': Hamuul [=DoubLOON-totem=] at yer service, ye scallywags! |
| 567 | ** Midsummer Fire Festival: |
| 568 | --->'''Dame Hazelbark''': [[{{Treants}} Please douse your midsummer fireworks.]]\ |
| 569 | '''Elise''': Do be cautious when playing with fire today.\ |
| 570 | '''Galakrond''': Fireworks? [[SincerityMode I love those...]]\ |
| 571 | '''Mecha-Jaraxxus''': Happy Fire Festival. ALL WILL PERISH IN FLAME.\ |

| 581 | * The randomness and combos of some of the cards can create a huge number of these. Check out [[https://www.youtube.com/user/FirdornLP Hearthfunny]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Trolden1337 Trolden]] for numerous examples. |
| 582 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVIWvfciAIE Professional player Amaz's reactions to his insane luck in ranked matches are just hilarious to watch.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lq21ITSarAE Trump also has plenty of funny moments.]] |
| 583 | * The videos featuring the [[OhCrap Oh Craps]] from various streamers are great for some quick laughs. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq5LRecUB1g&feature=player_detailpage#t=110 Forsen's reaction instance]], but [[https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dlq21ITSarAE&redir_token=QJPdYJsdKa9-OQ_ezkpGF56Ly_h8MTQyNzQ5NTExMkAxNDI3NDA4NzEy Trump's]] [[https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DqR3QSriH3pU&redir_token=QJPdYJsdKa9-OQ_ezkpGF56Ly_h8MTQyNzQ5NTExMkAxNDI3NDA4NzEy various]] [[https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DuWpLfuhVNjs&redir_token=QJPdYJsdKa9-OQ_ezkpGF56Ly_h8MTQyNzQ5NTExMkAxNDI3NDA4NzEy reaction]] [[https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DRfb87t0eyHA&redir_token=QJPdYJsdKa9-OQ_ezkpGF56Ly_h8MTQyNzQ5NTExMkAxNDI3NDA4NzEy videos]] are the most notable. |
| 584 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9popqd6zPQ In this video]] from Disguised Toast, it seems Reno Jackson has become TheDreaded, to hilarious effect. |
| 585 | * "Never Lucky" has become something of a meme for many streamers who get salty after long strings of bad [=RNG=]. Notable examples include Kripparian who realizes how bad his [=RNG=] could be in certain situations. Many, [=MANY=] clips exist of Kripparian playing a card with a random effect, but just before he does he will, most often in the most deadpan voice possible, list off the worst possible outcome. Commonly followed by a deadpan "Of course," when he gets it right. |
| 586 | * For the anniversary of VideoGame/{{Diablo}}, a new tavern brawl was introduced where you play against the Dark Wanderer. Three secrets are placed on his side of the field immediately, with random triggers and names invoking either traits, or Diablo player characters. Given the hellish nature of all of the Wanderer's summons, you'd assume with all three triggers released and a portal meant to trigger a transformation onhand, you'd play cards against Diablo. Nope. Instead you are whisked away to ''The Secret Cow Level'' to fight The Cow King, whose entire deck is based around a bovine-based ZergRush, and whose entire set of voice commands is the same, unenthused "Moo." |
| 587 | * From the [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEFn_PVNSM6hLh7hRgUsiNyt3DnzziV97 "Mulligans"]] official web-series, where the heroes adjust to office life: |
| 588 | ** Just about everything [[TheDitz Uther]] does. |
| 589 | ** The entirety of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtk_-YpxLt0 Episode 2]], where Uther and Gul'dan express confusion over the meaning of "Shotgun". |
| 590 | *** After Gul'dan suggests killing their boss, Uther [[OutOfCharacter actually backs him up]], saying that's okay if they do it [[KnightTemplar righteously]]. |
| 591 | *** "This shotgun is evil, yes? [[TheComicallySerious I shall bend it to my will.]]" |
| 592 | *** "But what must we give in return?" "[[PowerAtAPrice EVERYTHING!]]" |
| 593 | *** After the gang gets into the car, Gul'dan suggests they go to Soul Buffet. [[OnlySaneMan Jaina]] quickly rebuffs him and points out that it's not a real place; he just wants to kill people. |
| 594 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gulNsbnLeak Party at Karazhan]], an [[AffectionateParody affectionate parody]] of One Night in Karazhan, courtesy of [[https://www.youtube.com/user/WronchiAnimation/featured Wronchi Animation]]. |
| 595 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYjhHuY-kHY&t=1s UN'GORO TRIP (Hearthstone cartoon)]]. Highlights include: |
| 596 | ** Reno Jackson getting mobbed by a dinosaur stampede, followed by Elise the Trailblazer. |
| 597 | ** Rexxar summons Swamp King Dread, and Garrosh summons [[MutualKill Stubborn Gastropod]]. |
| 598 | ** Uther summons Galvadon, [[EpicFail only to trigger Mirror Entity and Potion of Polymorph]]. |
| 599 | ** Valeera (with a Quest Rogue Deck) rapidly summons a Stonetusk Boar, two Southsea Deckhands, and Patches the Pirate. [[CurbStompBattle Meanwhile, Gul'Dan is stuck with one mana crystal and a tiny Voidwalker.]] |
| 600 | ** Thrall summons Megafin, [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter but ends up with a hand full of Murloc Tinyfins.]] Meanwhile, Malfurion's army of minions gang up to kill Megafin. |
| 601 | ** Anduin uses two Radiant Elementals and Lyra the Sunshard to create an unlimited supply of Mind Blasts. |
| 602 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrPhTY02188 FrozenThrone.exe (Hearthstone cartoon)]]. A funny sequel to UN'GORO TRIP, highlights include: |
| 603 | ** Garrosh attempts to climb the Tavern ladder with Patches the Pirate, only to encounter a tavern [[ComplacentGamingSyndrome full of Raza Priest and Ramp Druid players]]. The Raza Priests then mob him and turn him into another Raza Priest. |
| 604 | ** Once again, Gul'Dan encounters Quest Rogue. Despite it being nerfed, it proceeds to juggle Prince Keleseth for the same result, and this time, the Voidwalker [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere ditches Gul'Dan]]. |
| 605 | ** Jaina summons Martin the Fox. In response, Anduin [[HoistbyHisOwnPetard uses Divine Spirit and Inner Fire on the Master Chest]]. |
| 606 | ** Thrall has two mana crystals, and Malfurion has ''ten.'' As Thrall braces for the inevitable Ultimate Infestation, Malfurion instead plays [[RandomNumberGod Yogg'Saron]], who unceremoniously casts Pyroblast on himself. |
| 607 | ---> '''Thrall:''' That's incredible! |
| 608 | ---> '''Malfurion:''' My thanks. |
| 609 | ** Gul'Dan has Kazakus, a Possessed Villager, and the Lich King. Nemsy Necrofizzle uses Treachery on a Howlfiend, and proceeds to cast Defile to force Gul'dan to discard his entire hand, including the Frostmourne the Lich King just gave him. |
| 610 | ** With Raza the Chained and Shadowreaper Anduin, Anduin thrashes [[DeadpanSnarker Uther]], [[SuicidalOverconfidence Rexxar]], [[SilentSnarker Valeera]], [[StepfordSmiler Gul'Dan]], [[{{Angrish}} Thrall]], and [[SarcasticClapping Malfurion]]. However, Anduin loses to [[IShallTauntYou Garrosh]] when he can't draw either Raza or Shadowreaper. |
| 611 | *** What's even better is how Valeera [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere nonchalantly concedes]] the moment she hears Raza being played, while the rest of the cast at least attempts to persevere. |
| 612 | *** Afterwards, [[MesACrowd a small group of Anduin]] (including a younger one) come across the defeated Anduin with 10 mana and a 2 mana Lesser Heal as their Hero Power, which the Anduin find [[FauxHorrific so horrifying]] that one of them [[FaintInShock faints in shock]] and another one [[CoverInnocentEyesAndEars covers the young Anduin's eyes]]. |
| 613 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPF3MoaVMF0 CUBELOCKS & CATACOMBS ( Hearthstone cartoon )]]. A hilarious parody of the Kobolds and Catacombs meta. Highlights include: |
| 614 | ** Valeera heads towards the Tavern, but Jaina runs out screaming while covered in green goop. Inside, Valeera sees nothing but [[ComplacentGamingSyndrome Murloc Paladin and Cubelock players]]. Valeera groans in despair, but Anduin is rather [[HoYay happy with this development]]. |
| 615 | ** Rexxar is holding a tiny Candleshot, while Valeera has a [[{{BFS}} ridiculously oversized Kingsbane.]] Valeera proceeds to [[SlasherSmile grin]] at the poor orc. Rexxar manages to shoot one arrow before being [[CurbStompBattle smashed into the ground]]. |
| 616 | *** Anduin is also [[DoubleEntendre awed at the size of Valeera's sword]]. It's long enough Rexxar and Anduin are shown reacting ''twice'' as the camera pans down its length. |
| 617 | ** Jaina vs Tyrande: Tyrande pulls out a dozen Weasel Tunnelers, stuffs Jaina's deck with them, and [[{{Troll}} smiles]]. |
| 618 | ** Uther plays two Call to Arms back-to-back against Anduin. Anduin responds with Raza the Chained, but doesn't notice its effect hasn't triggered (his Hero Power's still 2-mana). Uther is understandably confused, and the chat demands him to take pity on the poor Priest. |
| 619 | ** [[MirrorMatch Thrall vs Thrall]]: Both Thralls use Unstable evolution. Thrall #1 starts out with a healing totem. He then gets Vulgar Homunculus, Stoneskin Basilisk, Arfus, Cobalt Scalebane, Frozen Crusher, and Corridor Creeper. Unfortunately, this is the post-nerf Corridor Creeper, and it is ''puny.'' Meanwhile, Thrall #2 gets Dirty Rat, Vicious Fledgling, and the Darkness. Thrall #2 tries to cast Unstable Evolution again, but he can't because the Darkness [[OhCrap stays dormant]]. Thrall #1 chuckles before throwing the Corridor Creeper at Thrall #2. |
| 620 | ** Gul'dan vs Garrosh: The two orcs fight to a [[MundaneMadeAwesome disco track]], and it ends in a near stalemate. After Azari destroys Garrosh's deck, Garrosh retaliates by swapping decks and replacing what's left of Gul'dan's deck with Discovery spells, that are then eradicated with Skulking Geist. While Garrosh smirks over successfully pulling off the combo, he doesn't realize until the last moment that Azari the Devourer has just enough attack to finish him off. |
| 621 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0blneW2fTo "The Light Candle" advertisement]] is filmed and directed to be similar to a late [=80s=] VHS movie, featuring visual distortion, Kobold puppets, fantasy-esque background music, and [[StylisticSuck crummy microphone quality]]. It's ''glorious'', and made better by Creator/JerryTrainor, of all people, resurfacing in the public eye by way of this short after Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} ended ''Series/{{iCarly}}'' and quickly cancelled ''Series/WendellAndVinnie''. |
| 622 | * In the Rasktakhan's Rumble trailer, ''[[{{Pun}} Kag'wa himself]]'' delivers the [[VisualPun "croak" in the trailer song]], and one of the trolls even gives a cheesy thumbs up. |
| 623 | * For the ''Rise of Shadows'' card reveals, Blizzard sent out puzzle boxes to high-profile community members containing the cards they're supposed to reveal. HilarityEnsues. |
| 624 | ** [[https://youtu.be/UOZAdSRtSTY Trump]] spends around 40 minutes opening his box on camera [[TemptingFate after proclaiming himself a "puzzle master"]]. |
| 625 | ** [[https://youtu.be/kaTG-J2zUgE Disguised Toast]] struggles with the box for 5 minutes before going for a different strategy: [[CuttingTheKnot smashing the box open with a hammer]]. Commenters noted how appropriate it is, given that Toast has had quite a long history of [[GameBreakingBug breaking the game]]. |
| 626 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTlWXoe1POg Here's the Plan!]], the cinematic introducing Rise of Shadows' Adventure Mode, The Dalaran Heist, qualifies in its entirety. |
| 627 | |
| 628 | ** The League of E.V.I.L all dove straight for Dalaran from their airship... ''without having discussed a plan beforehand.'' |
| 629 | --->'''Rafaam:''' Dalaran will be ours! Once we land, you know what to do! |
| 630 | --->'''Dr. Boom:''' Uhh... no, we don't. You didn't tell us the plan! |
| 631 | --->'''Rafaam:''' I didn't think I ''had'' to! It's perfectly obvious! |
| 632 | ** As the group fail to come to an agreement, Dr. Boom has a solution: Strap rockets to Dalaran and just ship it wherever they want. The reactions of the League is as one might expect. |
| 633 | --->'''[[LargeHam Rafaam:]]''' [[BigYes Yeehehehes!]] Finally, you're exactly right! |
| 634 | --->'''[[DeadpanSnarker Hagatha:]]''' ...seriously? |
| 635 | --->'''[[OnlySaneMan Lazul:]]''' That's ''dumb.'' |
| 636 | --->'''[[FatBastard Togwaggle:]]''' Aaw, weak candle. |
| 637 | --->'''Dr. Boom''': Just wait until second gear kicks in! |
| 638 | --->''{{Beat}} as everyone looks at Dr. Boom before Dalaran blasts off'' |
| 639 | --->'''Rafaam''': Yeehehehes! It's just like I said! We're going to [[ExactWords take Dalaran for all that it's got!]]. It's a genius plan! It's ''simple''! It SHOULD have been obvious! |
| 640 | ** With the plan settled, Rafaam muses that [[WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong nothing could possibly go wrong for the League during this heist.]] All the while, they've been plummeting steadily towards Dalaran. |
| 641 | --->'''Hagatha:''' So, genius... how do we land? |
| 642 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwAftFk4Vek What's this?]] gives us a teaser for the next expansion by showing a fun little tidbit of interaction between the league of E.V.I.L. in the form of King Togwaggle sneaking into Madame Lazul's study to steal... Her candles. However, he gets distracted by a sudden bright glow coming from her tarot cards, and slowly begins to peel up the top card of the deck... Then hurriedly puts it back down as music suddenly starts playing. Curiously, he slowly lifts up the card again, the music growing louder until the entire room starts to shake, and hastily holds the card down with both hands. [[RuleOfThree Then, of course, his curiosity gets the better of him again, and he completely pulls the card up off the deck.]] The entire room is filled with blinding light as the league of explorers theme [[GaleForceSound blasts so loud that it blows everything off the table, knocks the crown off Togwaggle's head, and makes the kobold king's tongue flap around like a scarf in a hurricane]] until he finally slams the card back down on the table, silencing the noise. He then [[AsideGlance looks straight at the camera]] and delivers the only line in the entire trailer. |
| 643 | --->'''Togwaggle:''' Uh oh. |
| 644 | * The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v52vjnf6nkg trailer]] for Galakrond's Awakening is pretty funny too: |
| 645 | ** First up, the start of it. Elise, Finley and Brann are watching the flying Dalaran, pondering about Reno's status, as he was captured by the League of E.V.I.L. It immediately cuts to where Reno is imprisoned, and here's how Rafaam is 'torturing' him (and it's somehow working): |
| 646 | --->'''Brann:''' Those villains captured Reno! Who knows what horrible things they're doing to him?!\ |
| 647 | ''The scene cuts to where Reno is''\ |
| 648 | '''Reno:''' Wait, what are you doing?! No more rhymes! Anything but more rhymes! |
| 649 | ** Rafaam then opts to reveal his master plan 'in a manner that [Reno] [[LaymansTerms might actually understand]]'. It turns out to be a puppet show. His first action is to bring the stage up, and then bring out a puppet of himself: |
| 650 | --->'''Rafaam''': Behold! Mini-Rafaam! '''[[LargeHam ADORABLE SUPREME ARCHEOLOGIIIIIST!]]''' |
| 651 | ** Partway through, Reno interrupts Rafaam's puppet show when he introduced the Plagues. |
| 652 | --->'''Reno:''' We beat the Plague Lords.\ |
| 653 | '''Rafaam:''' No, you didn't!\ |
| 654 | '''Reno:''' Yes we did!\ |
| 655 | '''Rafaam:''' How did you get here-\ |
| 656 | '''Reno:''' Please don't interrupt! AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION TIME! |
| 657 | ** After Reno notes how the Plague Lords were defeated ([[HypocriticalHumor With the very same rhymes he had previously gotten annoyed at]]), Rafaam makes a retort which Reno has no answer to: |
| 658 | --->'''Rafaam:''' But we ''did'' get away with the Plague of Undeath!\ |
| 659 | '''Reno:''' Ohhhh... ''ohhhhhhhhhhh...'' [[{{Understatement}} That's bad.]] |
| 660 | ** Rafaam smashes the puppet stage with a Galakrond Plushie when explaining the final part of his plan. |
| 661 | ---> '''Rafaam''': That ''was'' the whole plan, because I've been a fan of the most evil thing that has ever walked land! It's a ''dragon'' I claim! Galakrond is his name! The unstoppable beast of nefarious flame! ''Smashes the stage'' Once you've run out of time, Azeroth will be mine! '''[[LargeHam THIS WORLD WILL BE BURNIIING!]]''' |
| 662 | ** Right afterwards, Reno makes an AsideGlance before pointing out the big flaw in Rafaam's plan: |
| 663 | --->'''Reno:''' Soo... You're saying this whole year's led up to raising that big evil dragon and once my pals stop you, again, the world is saved, again. Is that about right?\ |
| 664 | '''Rafaam:''' They won't stop me!\ |
| 665 | '''Reno:''' Yeah, they will.\ |
| 666 | '''Rafaam:''' No, they won't!\ |
| 667 | '''Reno:''' Yuh-huh!\ |
| 668 | '''Rafaam:''' Nuh-uh! |
| 669 | ** And then at the end: |
| 670 | --->'''Rafaam:''' Who interrupts some one ''else's'' puppet show?! You're a [[PityTheKidnapper really annoying prisoner.]] Do you know that?\ |
| 671 | '''Reno:''' Eh, it's been said.\ |
| 672 | '''Rafaam:''' And ''I'm'' the villain. <squeaky toy noises> |
| 673 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyhD3x-MzNc&feature=push-u-sub&attr_tag=igxeNAvQhpOkc2j5%3A6 The cinematic trailer]] for ''Scholomance Academy'' features a happy, upbeat college anthem sung by the academy's students. It's all sweet and whimsical up until the halfway point, where the students, [[LyricalDissonance still jovial]], warn you about what happens in the basement... |
| 674 | --> ''Test your brains or brawn, there's spells for us all,\ |
| 675 | Double-major honor rollllllllls!\ |
| 676 | Just make sure to stay upstairs in the halls,\ |
| 677 | [[BlackComedy Else Kel'Thuzad will steal your SOUUUUUUUUUUL!'']]\ |
| 678 | '''[[ObviouslyEvil Kel'Thuzad:]]''' [[BlatantLies They're kidding, of course.]] |
| 679 | ** The accouncement trailer featured a... dust-worthy cat video. The Duel trailer is just as...specatular as that a cat video and leave so many questions for the students (which Kel'Thuzad promptly ignores). |
| 680 | * The trailer for ''Wailing Caverns'' has a funny moment at the end. After Hamuul Runetotem gives his warning about what lies ahead in the Wailing Caverns, Bru'kan tells him that they'll take his warnings to heart. After Hamuul walks away… |
| 681 | -->'''Rokara''': We're still going in, right?\ |
| 682 | '''Bru'kan''': Of course!\ |
| 683 | ''All of the Horde Mercenaries laugh'' |
| 684 | * For the ''Fractured in Alterac Valley'' expansion, the trailer depicts the Mercenaries of the Year of the Gryphon fighting in their factions to secure territory. An inspiring 80s-style sountrack plays, underscoring their determination and the stakes - up until Bru'kan summons Lokholar the Ice Lord. |
| 685 | -->'''Singers''': Never fall back! Oh, never fall back!\ |
| 686 | ''music suddenly fades''\ |
| 687 | '''Soldier 1''': Wait!\ |
| 688 | '''Soldier 2''': What's that?!\ |
| 689 | '''Soldier 1''': [[OhCrap They've summoned the Ice Lord!]]\ |
| 690 | ''music resumes''\ |
| 691 | '''Singers''': (without skipping a beat) [[AttackAttackRetreatRetreat Hurry, fall back! Hurry, fall back!]] |
| 692 | * For season 2 of Battlegrounds, quests were introduced, complete with unique art for each. One quest in particular, "Reenact the Murder", features Rafaam having a ''[[CallBack puppet show]]'' of a puppet of him stabbing a puppet of Denathrius, complete with a spirite raising out of it. |
