Mr. T and William Shatner ham it up for World of Warcraft commercials

Both ads can be found after the break and on the WoW site for download. There is also an ad with Verne Troyer (Mini Me) expected in the near future -- we're hoping for something less obvious than him being a gnome. Keep these types of ads coming Blizzard, we know you've got the money.

Night-Elf "Mohawk"!
Also, I hope for a gnomish commercial.. with the flying machine made with engineering!

Ha!

This is the greatest thing ever.

"SHUT UP FOO"
Mr. T = win

I agree with the Guilty Gear girl.
It also saddens me that this is the only post with either a Mr. T or Shatner tag.
Neebs @ Nov 20th 2007 6:47PM
The Mr. T is made on win.
Shatner not so much.

DENNY CRANE!!!

He's Crane. His name is first on the door. Still undefeated.

I can't stop laughing at Night Elf Mohawk.
Spartacus @ Nov 20th 2007 7:06PM
Yeah, because Blizzard needs to advertise a 3(?) year old game in order to revive its stagnant userbase (around 9 MILLION subscribers) in order to eek out a profit... Good lord.
I almost forgot how horrible those graphics were. Uninformed TV audiences might mistake this for a Wii game ;-)

Zing!

Well, the only thing better than assloads of money is shit-tons. That is probably what Blizzard is thinking with these ads.

shatner can do a spoken-word rap song. he is awesome
bus33boy @ Dec 9th 2007 2:53AM
Don't assume that. Both he and Lenoard Nemoy had albums in the 70s -- you're not missing anything if you've never heard them (although Mr. Spock singing "Proud Mary" is a unique experience).

Druid? More like Jedi wannabe!

William Shatner and Mr T just awesome. It seems Blizaard knows its public or at least YTMND users.
Looking forward to the Patrick Stewart, Chuck Norris, Bill cosby,”Numa numa” guy commercials.

Just_a_guy @ Nov 20th 2007 8:45PM
I think this is my favorite commercial ever.......
pyro.danny @ Nov 20th 2007 10:11PM
I stopped playing WoW months ago, but I just realized I played a Tauren Shaman, just like Shatner.
What was my character's name?
D'ni Krane.
p3arl @ Nov 20th 2007 10:43PM
DENNY KRANE = WINWINWINWINWINWINWINWINWIN!
god those ads are great.
Ben @ Nov 20th 2007 10:55PM
Shatner is da man!
samfish @ Nov 21st 2007 12:23AM
William Shater kicks so much ass that words to describe it don't exist!
Deck @ Nov 21st 2007 2:53AM
William Shatner you are my hero.
Denny Krane. 'Nuff said.
vaylen @ Nov 21st 2007 7:43AM
I love 'em both, but they both peaked in June of '82 when Kirk beat Khan and Clubber beat Rocky.

If there was anything that could get me to do WoW, it's Mr. T, insulting a condescending announcer and showing off his programming skills by making a Night Elf Mohawk. Now, if he can just hack the game to make that class available to others, I'm sold.
Crono (NDF - Knight of the Old School) @ Nov 21st 2007 9:00AM
Maybe Mr.T is good with computers? Maybe Mr. T hacked the game and created a Mohawk class, Mr Condecending director!
Harlo @ Nov 21st 2007 9:44AM
THRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!
JohnHeist @ Nov 21st 2007 10:07AM
I saw the Mr T one the other night, it was hilarious. "What? I said Night Elf Mohawk, I can be a Mohawk if I want to!" or something like that.
Ecksem Diem @ Nov 21st 2007 5:48PM
Perhaps the Night Elf with the Mohawk is an illusion to the ability to change hairstyles that's allegedly going to be in Lich King?
Dravir @ Nov 22nd 2007 12:03AM
nelf mohawk!
