Funniest WoW Commercial Ever Featuring Mr. T and William Shatner

Since Mr. T is a... Night Elf 'Mohawk,' how would you like a real, female Night Elf for the next WoW ad?

Jessica Biel (from Seventh Heaven) would be a good choice, don't you think?

The latest World of Warcraft advertisement has to be one of the funniest things that ever hit the web. While William Shatner's appearance (Kirk from Star Trek) is (surprisingly) enough to get people wondering "hey, if Shatner's got game, why wouldn't I have game?", Mr. T's spot is simply sublime. I personally fell off my chair from laughter when I heard him telling the director: "Shut up, fool!"

World of Warcraft is an online role-playing experience set in the award-winning Warcraft universe. Players assume the roles of Warcraft heroes as they explore, adventure, and quest across a vast world. World of Warcraft is
a "Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game" which allows thousands of players to interact within the same world. Whether adventuring together or fighting against each other in epic battles, players will form friendships, forge alliances, and compete with enemies for power and glory.

Main features of WoW:

- Adventure together with thousands of other players simultaneously.
- Explore an expansive world with miles of forests, deserts, snow-blown mountains, and other exotic lands.
- Choose from four realm types and find the one best suited for your own playing style: Normal, Player versus Player, Role-playing, and Role-playing Player versus Player.
- Join the Horde or the Alliance as one of 8 playable races

Now, if you're still with us, let's imagine another version of such an ad, for, let's say a Night Elf. Yep, you'd want that, wouldn't you? What actress or public face do you imagine would fit the role best? How about one that also knows her way with computers and can make a mod so that she doesn't have to wear anything at all?

Well, let's not go that far. We shouldn't be surprised if Night Elves caught a cold every once in a while, since Blizzard left them wearing something resembling a 2 piece swim suit, and you know how cold it can get in Azeroth this time of the year. Put your gamer mind to work, write a few opinions in the comments column and who knows, Blizzard might even fulfill your wish, with the next ad they roll out.

Download the two videos right here and enjoy:
