Look, celebrity shilling is fine. Yeah, yeah, Chuck Norris jokes, okay. Always funny. (Okay, not always funny, but still funny from time to time. Not the point.)
But are we really supposed to believe these people play WoW? Because I certainly don't.
I mean, there's celebrities that have admitted to playing World of Warcraft, or playing it at some time. Why not have them do the ads? Real players to shill the game that just happen to be famous.
I'm just sayin', as little as the guy does these days, it probably wouldn't be too hard to get Dave Chapelle to do a commercial for WoW.

I don't know, it seems like it's kind of joke celebrities. William Shatner, Chuck Norris, Mr. T, Verne Troyer, Ozzy Osborne. Celebs that are kind of funny just on name value alone. Which don't get me wrong, I like those people. But im sure there are people that go "Lol William Shatner" and get a good chuckle out of it. I don't know, Im doing a terrible job of describing it.

Whatsherface (ugh can't remember her name) from Parks and Rec and Scott Pilgrim actually did one of these ads. And she does play.
Still, surprised they never tapped Mila Kunis for one of these. She was a huge WoW player. Hell, she's even been seen, in public, wearing a cap with the Exclamation Point icon on it used for questgivers.

If you know anything about World of warcraft,the Chuck Norris one is slightly amusing.

I like the celeb adds, the problem with them is they do not show WHY you should be playing the game. Oops.

Actually I can imagine Shatner at least being a WoW player. Maybe Troyer too.

They should get adult actress Belladonna to do one of their ads. She's a big WoW player (or atleast she used to be).

To be fair, it seems more like the commercials are for pandering to their audience instead of selling the game to new people. At least that's what I tell myself to make sense of them.

They need to get Vin Diesel, Dave Chappelle, and Macaulay Culkin to do commercials. I'm sure they could even pay them in rare drops.

I think the Chuck Norris one makes sense. Simply put, buy the game or Chuck Norris will find you.

Chuck's commercial was good, but Mr T to me had the best set of commercials.
T: "I'm Mr T, and this is my Knight F Mohawk."
Director: "Cut! Uh T theres no such thing as a Knight F Mohawk."
T: "Shut Up Fool!"
Priceless.
And for awhile I had this on my Ipod.

I thought this was about those online ads with the dancing monsters. I hate those, as well.

Bad timing though, as a MAJOR patch seems to be dropping today leaving the game offline and buggy upon return.

Dave Chappelle plays WoW? He doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who does. But that's pretty awesome if true.
And they should spend as much money as they could possibly could to get Mila Kunis.

I don't think they're meant to be taken seriously, like the celebrities actually playing the game. A lot of stuff in the actual game isn't meant to be taken seriously.
