Russian TV Ad Copies WoW: Lich King Cinematic

[Asehujiko]

similar yes, a rip-off not quite. the only part that ill call a ripoff is the opening scene and when they both wipe off the snow from the ice.

You do realize that all they did was paste that guy's image over Arthas and turned the brightness up a bit?

 

[Du Jour Jaricho]

I've just got an idea for the WoW Comic Contest...

 

[LockeDown]

*sigh*, the trailers for the new content were the best part of WoW.

Blizzard does excellent cinematic work.

 

[Nouw]

Why that ice skater is legendary

OP: So Blizzard copyrighted the setting of ice and mountains? Only the first scene was a bit copyed.

 

[CakeDragon]

Oh, and it's not like the Lich King has copied his armour from Sauron or anything...

 

[Asturiel]

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

It's pretty hilarious, to be honest. I was expecting a copy but not that much of a copy.

Atleast the cologne isnt in the form of a dragon flying over an army of little colognes. And cologne is talking in the skaters head talking about his childhood.

Face it we could have seen an even bigger rip off.

For April Fools, Blizzard should do a parody of this parody, with the Lich King skating around the cologne bottle.

Hell be dead by april though!

Spoiler: She is alluring, I guess

You know, if you're into giant undead dragons given life by nether energies and an unholy will.

Whatever floats your boat

You arnt? I think I got the wrong image of you...
[sub]I kid I kid. Funny when people think Onyxia is a dude[/sub]

OT: It looks like more of a parody than anything but I cant be sure is the thing...So ill file it under "Funny, but maybe serious".

 

[DND Judgement]

it's gobsmacking when you think about it... it proves the massive cultural inpact of video games in this day and age...

 

[Scrythe]

Figure skating.

I think that's all that needs to be said.

Horde get slightly more justification for that since I don't think they ever see Lady Katrana Prestor in her human form, but I'm pretty certain quest text and her voice gives it away >_>

And cologne is talking in the skaters head talking about his childhood.

"My son, the day you were invented in our labs, all the marketing departments of Oriflame whispered the name: Glacier Ice. My child, I watched with pride as you grew into a cologne...of righteousness. Remember, our lines have always smelled with elegance and sophistication. And I know you will show restraint when exercising your great power over women. But the truest victory, my son, is stirring the hearts of your customers. I tell you this, for when my days have come to an end, you shall be our best-selling cologne."

Heh, cause every male gets the title "Broodmother" for being a badass dragon with a higher voice now right?

"My son, the day you were invented in our labs, all the marketing departments of Oriflame whispered the name: Glacier Ice.

Wow...Bravo. Thank you. I think you deserve this.

Spoiler: Box of rape

Spoiler: You actually opened this? Ok I got a award for ya

 

[Doc Theta Sigma]

Blizzard gonna sue somebody

 

[Icehearted]

Good Lord, that's quite derivative.

And yet, still the best toiletries advert I have ever seen.

How perfectly put.

I want to add that for some reason I kinda wish I could see Arthas doing one of those triple axles in the WoW cinematic now. Can't say way.

 

[Maelgwyn]

Its a cologne ad - and knowing that some gamers do not know what cologne is - it cant be a ripoff.

Meanwhile, I want those skates - if they can shatter ice like that...

 

[Sundavar]

Whatever animation team does the cinematics needs to get cracking on a Soul Eater movie. I think all fans of Soul Eater will understand how epic that would be

 

[Galad]

Sigh... I am ashamed to call these people my former fellow countrymen...

So you're no longer a Russian citizen? Or no longer live in Russia?

*confused*

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

Silly Russians.

silly russians

Ahem.
OT: Haven't seen this abomination on TV yet. Where do you guys get that stuff?

Sorry,

"Politically Correct Silly Russians"


OT: Ha. Me and my friend (I am currently at school) laughed like hell at this. He, at first, thought I was watching the intro, and was like "What the Fuck?" outloud in the middle of our library after the guys hood flies off.

 

[hypothetical fact]

Looks different enough to me.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

Silly Russians.

How dare you mock my obvious over-defensiveness about my country?
I find this Incredibly Insulting.

 

[Amnestic]

GOD if that cologne advert was the real World of Warcraft trailer I might consider actually BUYING the damn thing.

I'm not sure if my facetious meter is broken or if you're just being stupid. I hope it's the former.
