There are a lot of very funny WoW sites out there, and some of them have been so widely read that you see references to them all over Azeroth and Outland and in any discussion of WoW. For example, woe betide the warlock who wanders into the Blizzard Warlock Forums or the Warlock's Den who doesn't know who Richard is (-50 DKP!). Many of these links are not safe for work, small children, or elderly persons!


Alamo teechs u 2 play DURID!

This one is so old that I wasn't sure if anyone remembered it, but no, it's still classic! I just wandered into an AV behind some gnome whose guild tag read: "CAT DURID IS 4 FITE", and I knew people still had to read that guide!

Its a parody of the class guides. Many more uptight GMs may not approve of the advice offered by this guide! It's written entirely in chatspeak, and offers the following perspective on druid abilities: specifically that they are for having fun, complete with illustrated directions for having fun with all of the forms.

The original was posted to the Blizzard Druid Forum with the pictures as links. It's archived above, along with some of Alamo's other posts, at wowwiki.

Big Red Kitty

This hunter blog ranges from informative to zany. Why would warlocks care about a hunter blog? Even if you haven't got a hunter alt, if you group with hunters, it's good to know what they do and how they do it. He also has general WoW info like How to Avoid Being Caught in a Banwave. His regular contests seem clever and fun (you guys do remember the Running of Da Bulls, don't you?!). The only complaint I can make against this blog is that many of the entries are worth referencing or re-reading but are hard to find because of the lack of a search function. EDIT: there is now a search box on the sidebar! w00t!

But the best reason to read BRK is because every so often he comes out with a post that is just plain zany, like the should-be-classic Analysis of Wiping (well, actually a guest-author's) and Moar Wiping (BRK himself). Even the tone of the informative stuff is light and a bit demented. He updates daily.

Dark Legacy Comics

This WoW comic strip should be classic but is instead obscure. It's very funny and has been around since sixty was endgame.

It got off to a very slow start as Keydar got used to cartooning, so if you want to get the flavor of the strip, click on the random-comic link. But you'll eventually want to start at the beginning, as there are a few longer story arcs (like the NPC Rebellion that recently ended). It's also fun to read from the beginning as the comic follows the changes in WoW from patch to patch. Anyone else remember the when key rings were introduced?

Looking for Group

This ongoing comic is loosely based on WoW. The best parts are the comic relief provided by the amoral undead warlock, Richard. He admits to having hooked up with the group out of boredom, and as they go about their serious high-fantasy business, he livens things up, horrifying them as much with his irreverence as with his viciousness.

Blizzard Comics Contest Winners Gallery

Every month, Blizzard hosts a contest of WoW comic strips and this is a collection of the very best. Some of them come from ongoing series (including Dark Legacy). The last pages have the Penny Arcade comics done for the official WoW strategy guide.

Mad Cow Studios

Nyhm's first widely-publicized machinima, "Just So OP" is pure genius and has been acclaimed "the theme song for warlocks". This is pretty unfortunate, actually, as the rest of his movies are pretty good, but not as brilliant as that one. It's all about us and how we make other players cry (love that one scene of the night elf rogue crying in her beer!!).

But he's got a whole bunch of WoW parodies of contemporary hit music up there, with spectacular WoW machinima, and keeps adding more! He sings terribly (maliciously, I suspect), but you'll never listen to the songs he parodies the same way again. He's also recruited some people who can sing, but they do parodies too!

Lockstar is pretty good, as is the one for mages (M.A.G.E., with a cheesy fake ad or two)! The video/song for druids (Hard Like Heroic) is NSFW and has the potential to be very funny, if your druids are as perverted as the ones in my guild. The rogue one (Assasinate) is dull . He does songs about all the things that devil WoW players: raid signups, death knights, and even gold farmers. Parodies for all WoW occasions!
