Mr.T defies all and makes WOW awesome.

[Apackof12Ninjas]

He pitys the fool who says different

Not only is the Mohawk Grenade real and in-game, but Mr. T put it there. That's what we learn in this new commercial, a sequel of sorts to the old "Night Elf Mohawk" joke a long while back. Not only is T (not The T, just T) decked out in a Murloco's Taco's T-shirt, but he shows the in-game item in action. It's how he makes the World of Warcraft look good.

I love it -- well done, Blizzard. Great kickoff to the holiday marketing season, and it's awesome that they've got the commercial (which we assume you'll soon see on television) promoting the actual in-game item in a quality way. Sure, The Old Republic and a few other MMOs might be knocking on WoW's door, but who wouldn't want to play a game where you can throw a grenade and make people look like Mr. T? Maybe this is where all those newbies will be coming from.

Is this not like REALLY old (like 1-2 years) or has my precognition struck again?

Also errrr yeah Mr T is cool but only when hes doing snickers adverts.

There was a old Mr T commercial but this one is new and improved.

 

[Fbuh]

I'm pretty sure I saw a Mr. T WoW commercial a few years back.

 

[Apackof12Ninjas]

Watch the video, this one is brand new.

I believe he had a snickers-themed tank plow through a playground in one of those commercials. Huh.

This is a different commercial where he advertises a weapon that you can get in the game.

 

[Pimppeter2]

I always liked those commercials. Even though I don't play WOW

 

[Apackof12Ninjas]

Got the video link working correctly now, my bad.(though I blame the escapist for having weird coding to embed videos =x )

 

[Kuchinawa212]

heh,
Mr.T and warcraft, but (and if you knew me this would be a shock) I liked to Ozzy one better.

 

[hopeneverdies]

I liked the old one better.
"Well maybe Mr. T is pretty handy with computers, how about that Mr. Condescending Director?"

 

[maddawg IAJI]

Wait? Wow isn't awsome? I hate to disagree with you there, but I actually enjoy WoW quite a bit and I don't need Mr.T to change my opinon on it.

As for the Ad: I missed those old WoW commercials. I missed seeing Shatner and Mr T talk about the game and joke about it at the same time. It's nice to see Blizzard bring the Commericals back. Even if it is for a small little insignifcant weapon.

Yeah this one is different

OP, this is brilliant.

 

[MR T3D]

I approve of this.
sometimes i feel bad that i simply can't play MMO's
then i go out with friends and forget that.

Take the thread title with a grain of salt. It was said tongue in cheek.

 

[Last of the Chinchillas]

Awesome. That was always the best thing about WoW: it had a good sense of humor about itself.

 

[slipknot4]

Mr.t is over rated and just another internet meme. He does not exist...
Wait! He does...
Well, i don't see why everyone gives a flying monkey about him anyway.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Even though I stopped playing WoW so long ago (well...almost a year now), this is just awesome. A Mohawk grenade....dámn , I love Blizzard's sense of humour.

 

[The Great JT]

Do not underestimate the power of B.A. Baracus. The B.A. stands for Bad Ass, and all that he touches becomes bad ass.

 

[CanOfPop]

Good times.
