I've scoured the depths of Youtube to bring you the very best videos created by the World of Warcraft community. These funny and entertaining WoW videos will entertain and inspire any fan of the game.
One of the best things about a great game like World of Warcraft is the community that grows up around it. People love the game so much that they take the time to lovingly craft everything from elaborate costumes to videos with incredibly high production values.
Many of the finest WoW videos end up on Youtube. Unfortunately, with so many World of Warcraft videos on the site, it can be hard to find the ones that are truly must-see. Fortunately, I’ve taken the time to scour the depths of Youtube and am proud to bring you my picks for the best WoW videos on Youtube.
First, let me take the time to mention a couple of classic videos that every World of Warcraft player must see. They may lack the production values of my other picks, but they are among the most memorable WoW videos of all time.
Fair warning, some of these videos contain some pretty extreme language.
Leeroy Jenkins
No list of videos would be complete without the infamous Leeroy Jenkins. This video has become such a part of the WoW mythos that Leeroy has an in-game achievement named for him. This particular video was even mentioned in a question on Jeopardy.
Onyxia Wipe Animation
The Onyxia Wipe Animation is another classic. It utilizes an audio recording of perhaps the greatest raid leader meltdown of all time and adds some hilarious graphic representations. It’s not exactly a video per se, but warrants a mention nonetheless.
There is a fair amount of bad language in this video, so put the kiddies to bed before you watch it.
Big Blue Dress by Cranius
Big Blue Dress is a video from the Classic WoW era that combines epic PvE and PvP footage with a pretty catchy song. Basically, a powerful mage laments the fact that despite the amazing firepower at his fingertips, all of the armor available for his class would look more appropriate on a female character.
Keep an eye out for the gnome backup singers; they’re definitely one of the best parts of this one. I also love the opening shot of him slow falling in while firing off pyroblasts.
Learn 2 Play by HQ Stream
Learn 2 Play is an ironic video about the amount of time certain 1337 players spend playing the game. The song is catchy (good luck getting it out of your head) and the production quality of the video is incredible.
The lyrics are very entertaining, so many WoW videos try to be funny and fail, but Learn 2 Play actually makes me chuckle every time I watch it.
You can also download an mp3 of the song by following the link on the Youtube page.
