4* In Ironforge, Magni is showing Lothar the gun the dwarces are crafting and turns toward a messenger carrying a letter. In the background, we see Lothar brandishing the gun with no idea of how it works, [[JugglingLoadedGuns even looking directly into the barrel for a few seconds]].
5** Becomes a bit of a BrickJoke when he uses it in desperation on Blackhand, then looks at it as if realizing in horror that back in Ironforge, he was looking down the part that did ''that'' to an Orc, with his finger on the trigger.
6* During the Orc ambush, Blackhand watches Lothar fight with keen interest. When a RedShirt Silver Hand runs at him, [[OffhandBackhand he socks him without even breaking his glance.]]
7* When they enter Kharazan, Lothar asks Moroes where Medivh is. Cue the old butler gesturing toward the absurdly high staircase and both of them beginning the ascension. At one point, the scene cuts from Khadgar snooping around to Lothar and Moroes climbing. Lothar is exhausted and has to stop to regain his breath while the old man isn't even breathing hard and tells him to take deep breaths. When they finally reach Medivh, Lothar can barely stand and Moroes has to fetch him a drink.
8** Right after Moroes indicates the staircase, Lothar gives a look that [[ThisIsGoingToSuck pretty clearly conveys his feelings]].
9* Lothar's wincing and cowering as he sees Medivh toss Khadgar around in the library with magic like a ragdoll.
10** Then Lothar holds his hand to Khadgar to help him getting up... only to hold it back at the last second and follow Medivh, leaving Khadgar on the ground.
11* Every time he's put into a teleport spell, Lothar is closing his eyes, even the mages are not. It's like watching a kid expecting to get drenched in water.
12* Khadgar tries to babble his way out of telling Garona he doesn't want to sleep with her. Lothar is watching the whole thing with the same expression as the audience.
13** Garona reassures him that it's probably for the best, seeing as [[DestructoNookie he probably wouldn't survive anyway]].
14** For that matter, Garona's very blunt statement that Khadgar wants to sleep with her is hilarious in itself.
15* Whenever Khadgar gets ahold of Medivh's staff, he treats it like a sacred gift from gods, with all reverence and awe this implies. Medivh meanwhile handles it like a gaudy walking stick.
16* During Lothar and Llane's war council, Khadgar can be seen in the back stumbling around the armoury. When Llane asks him to speak up, he turns so fast he kicks over a shield, to a loud bang and Llane's exasperated expression.
17* Khadgar goes to Dalaran to talk to the Council of Six about Medivh being corrupted and to ask them what Alodi is. The whole Council immediately piles on him the moment he arrives, saying he has no right to be before them, that he should have never come back, etc... but the moment Khadgar mentions those two things, Antonidas' reaction is an astonished "What?"
18* And when Antonidas takes Khadgar to Alodi, it opens up. Khadgar asks if he's supposed to go inside and Antonidas can only answer that he honestly has no idea, it's never done that before.
19* Several {{Mythology Gag}}s are addressed to ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' players:
20** A [[http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Murloc murloc]] can be seen as Lothar and Khadgar travel in Elwynn forest. And it utters the race's characteristic "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMPpnCvCZvw Aaaaaughibbrgubugbugrguburgle!]]".
21** Lothar is trying to negotiate being let out of his cell with the guard... and all of a sudden the guard isn't there anymore, [[ForcedTransformation replaced by a sheep]].
22--->'''Lothar:''' ''[calmly]'' Hey, guard! I know you're just doing your job, and you do it very well, [[BlatantLies but I've calmed down now]]. So, please let me out so I can protect the King.\
23''[guard shakes his head no]''\
24'''Lothar:''' [[NotHelpingYourCase OPEN THE GATE]]!\
25''[guard turns toward the cell as Lothar continue screaming and is about to throw something, and is suddenly transformed into a sheep; Lothar briefly look at his hand, as if wondering how he did that before Khadgar appears]''\
26'''Khadgar:''' It works only on the weak-minded for about a minute. Here's your armor.\
27''[Lothar turns toward the sheep]''\
28'''Lothar:''' Sorry.
29** When the guard shakes his head it's clear he's not even looking at Lothar, and the movement is accompanied by a very silly clattering noise.
30** The way Lothar looks on his hand in the aforementioned scene, for the few seconds before Khadgar comes into view. You can see him thinking, incredulously, ''Did I just turn this guy into a sheep?'' For that matter, the sheep's ''baaa'' as Lothar and Khadgar discuss somewhat serious matters.
31* During one scene, Durotan while looking at Go'el, attempts a stare contest with him, only for his son to try roaring at him while raising his hands, much to Draka's amusement. In TheStinger, Go'el is found by a human... and the scene ends on him trying to do the same "scary roar" face to said human. Made extra-funny if you played the game and know Go'el actually is Thrall, the future Warchief of the Horde.
32* Taria, being [[TheHighQueen a human queen in a peaceful time]], and Garona, being an [[ProudWarriorRace orc]], do not have the same idea of what weapons are appropriate for a woman. Garona is continually exasperated.
33-->'''Queen Taria:''' ''[giving Garona a tiny dagger]'' So you can defend yourself.\
34'''Garona:''' ''[incredulous]'' With ''this''?
35* When Orgrim wants Durotan's attention, he throws small stones at the other orc's head.
36* Orgrim's musings on fel and the Portal:
37-->'''Orgrim:''' Whole world in exchange for a statue. Gods are strange creatures.
38* Definitely BlackComedy, but the way Khadgar just starts [[TearsOfFear crying]] while Durotan is holding him with a hand over his mouth (thus preventing magic) is hilarious. Made even more so after he's released as it's obvious that he can't believe he's still alive.
39** For added comedy, watch Durotan when he releases Khadgar and turns to leave. He gives the mage a gentle (if awkward) tap on the chest with the back of his knuckles, as if he's trying to praise the poor man for not passing out altogether.
40* A deleted scene has some of the orcs discussing the Fel. Blackhand says that warriors are forged in battle, not made with magic, while Grom asks "Why be strong enough when you can be ''even stronger?''" and growls impressively. Orgrim just looks nonplussed.
41-->'''Orgrim:''' Yes, but... you're ''green''.\
42''[everyone but Grom laughs]''

46* The character poster of Lothar got some hilarious ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' fan fixes, including [[ShouldersOfDoom big ass]] [[https://i.imgur.com/gBbdYxf.jpg spaulders]], RainbowPimpGear ([[http://worldofwarcraft.judgehype.com/screenshots/sosthene/news2015/211.jpg see here]]) and a QuestGiver exclamation mark.
47* When Medivh's appearance was revealed, a lot of people who disliked the design called him "wizard Jesus". [[InsultBackfire The fans' answer?]] Variations on "[[JesusWasWayCool How is Wizard Jesus a bad thing?]]" Shot down twice even ingame, since Medivh temporarily came back to life to warn Azeroth of the burning and influence events in its favor. So he was technically already Wizard Jesus even in ingame canon.
