@@alexbrown7708 at this point, that basically a good thing to have happened, (even though I don't expect much to change even on Microsoft's hands) lmao
I think they already sold themselves short (many times over) long before this comment was made. Perhaps as early as when Blizzard merged with Activision over a decade ago.
@@gigiogambi He came back like twice though, both in Cataclysm and in Legion. I think he should've stayed dead honestly. That, or at least remain within the Dream solely, like Ysera. Having him come back like it was nothing really downplays the atrocity Grommash and the rest of the Chaos Orcs committed.
@@rheunark3985 Yes, just like muradin coming back to life downplays Arthas' crimes in his quest to destroy mal'ganis. I always feel bringing characters back to live is ultimate creative bankruptcy, no story has ever gotten better by adding that shit.
A video this long was bound to have missing content: - Troll's "Jabunabatabadu!" line is also Huttese, spoken by Bib Fortuna. - Zeppelin's "Whatwhatwhat?!" line is from Sheila Broflovski in South Park - I put the wrong date for Lethal Weapon. Those are the dates of the reboot. The first Lethal Weapon film came out in 1987. - I forgot to put in lines from the succubus, but it turns out she doesn't really have any specific references besides allusions to seduction and prostitution. - The Dark Ranger actually says "cold death," though you gotta admit it's not the best enunciation. - Pit Lord's line "You know what burns my ass?" is from The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas - Easter Bunny's line "I have an invisible human friend" is actually from Harvey, especially considering his Jimmy Stewart accent - The Tinker also has the line "I have a rocket in my pocket" which may be a reference to Dr. Seuss's book "There's a Wocket in My Pocket." - The love potion line by the Alchemist may actually be a reference to the brownies on the film _Willow,_ who have similar accents and a love potion. Most of these are compiled in an extras video. Thanks to all those who pointed them out!
fun fact: in the German language version the Brewmaster Panda is represented as Bavarian (with dialect and all). Therefore, his sayings and jokes are not only with the subject of alcohol but also with many Bavarian clichés.
@@Abelhawk ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--VZ1yPVbpqE.html Pretty sure this is what I'm remembering. It's similar to, if a bit less emphasized than, the Zeppelin line. Close enough to make me think it's likely a reference, especially considering the relative timing of the games' release.
Things you have missed: 1. Jabanumadamadu is from Star Wars as well. 2. Beastmaster's Afete dwain'tor is probably a Harry Potter reference 3. Ice Troll's Icy is actually a pun of i see. 4. Goblin Zeppelin's crazy laugh & mouth engine sounds are references to Banjo-Kazooie. 5. The Dark Ranger is actually saying cold death, which is a reference to how humans go cold when they die.
I think #2 could actually be a "Dwaynetaur", a reference to "The Scorpion King", where Dwayne the Rock Johnson is half-man, half scorpion "centaur", and all bad CGI
Hey abelhawk, one reference you did miss that I think counts is that when you select a Goblin Zeppelin, he says “what-what-what?!” I’m pretty sure this is a reference to Sheila Broflovski, Kyle’s mother from South Park, where when she learns something surprising, she usually exclaims the same quote.
Dang, I can't find the clip for that reference anywhere. I'll have to see if I can dig up the movie somewhere. That would make a lot of sense, since he sounds like the way they talk. Thanks!
I have watched Willow many times and still don't remember when "Bob and weave, you fool" was said? I know one of the Brownies yells at Rool a lot. "Rool you fool, get out of the road" for example.
Dranei are my most favorite and whenever I make a map I always wanted to play as them and I was so happy I got to play them on the final misison of blood elf campaign
I had to look it up and expected to find an Activision feminist VA. But I found that Laura Bailey is the newer Jaina? She's actually quite good and not a bitter feminist. However she's way too flirty and sexy to be Jaina. The first Jaina is also the Assassin in Diablo 2. The real Diablo 2 classic. I imagine the new feminist downgrade has a nasty VA.
14:26 "I am the lord of all fire!" seems to be a reference to the first line "I am the god of hellfire!" from the song "Fire" -- I am the god of hellfire! (1968) by Arthur Brown, also Fire - Ozzy Ozborne. Of course they have to change it and remove the religion part with "god" and "hell", but as the firelord said the line i was instantly reminded to the song.
They couldn't include the word Hell? Is that why Felhounds were called Hellhounds in Reign of Chaos? I've not heard of that restriction on Blizzard but your comment made me remember that name change
The Goblin Alchemsit as a whole could be a reference to the character Master Blaster from the Mad Max movies - a small (but very smart) guy riding a huge and muscular (but brainless) bruiser.
maybe not so much a reference, but "whack me" is a double entendre: In both cases, it's a kind of demand where she wants to be "whacked," but in one sense it has a sexual connotation, almost like in BDSM. You clicking on her too many times makes her respond with "oh," an exclamation of pleasure, followed by "whack me," which means please continue clicking on me, Abelhawk, it gets my nips hard. The second sense is a more figurative one. The harpy is asking to be killed as she's tired of being clicked on. This one is more likely the primary sense, the "intended one" (impossible to prove intention without flat out confirmation) as Blizzard has made it a running gag for NPCs to complain about you clicking too much. Both senses apply, though, since the timbre in her voice doesn't discredit either one: she's either exclaiming pleasure or displeasure, and either the desire to be hit more times sexually or to be killed and free from being clicked on.
Panda has a battle cry which seemed to be a filler at the time: For Pandaria Pandaria had no other backstories for a few years after warcraft 3 was released. Until they made an whole expansion for this innocent line of quote in WOW
Actually, there exists also this description for the Pandaren Brewmaster: A warrior Hero, exceptional at absorbing damage and melee combat. The Brewmasters of Pandaria have emerged from the bamboo forests of their ancestors to bring their unique fighting style (and robust ales) to the highest bidder. Attacks land units. It's just that it comes from a game manual, and therefore is not present in the proper game, as back then, Blizzard used to split 80% of their game lore to game manuals, as it was assumed that you'd read the manual before launching the game, if you care about the lore. Now of course nobody does that, as game devs assume that you have bought the game on Steam, GoG, Epic Store, BNet, etc. so they don't really do this external content outside of the game anymore (apart for some video game announcements on RU-vid).
Yeah, they don't have the Frost Arrow ability. Maybe you were thinking about Traxex, the Drow Ranger from DotA 1? She had the ability, plus she uses the Dark Ranger model.
@@nicof.1777 maybe it's a reference to Sylvanas, when she was alive, she had cold arrows as her ability, and thus, probably, other rangers had these too Or just basically because death is commonly associated with cold
In polish version, Beastmaster says he will summon "extinct beast specie" that... uh, the best translation I could come up with is "Big Belly" so you probably see it's pretty much a joke as such creature doesn't exist neither I found references to it in any polish media. Seems like it's just something Blizzard made up? "English" variant kinda does sound like some name for a beast in orcish. At least that's my guess. Wonder what route other translators took.
I think it was created and voiced just for the easter map. So it isn't accessible on other maps through normal means. :( What supports this is, that the Bunny is fully voiced in Englisch, regardless what language you set your WC3 to.
I appreciate you making a visual for the Jaina in the morning. That was hilarious. LOL I didnt know a black lady in the background said 'He pulled the wool over your eyes!" Bwhahahahahah! Thank you!
Hey Abelhawk I thought you might like to know that the Pit lord's quote "You know what burns my ass??? A flame about this high." is actually a direct quote from the 1982 movie Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
Actually, the "Invisible Human Friend" of the Easter Bunny was a reference to the 1950 film "Harvey", in which Elwood P. Dowd (played by Jimmy Stewart, as in the "It's a Wonderful Life" reference of the same unit, due to the vocal patterns of the unit) has a giant invisible rabbit for a friend (actually a pooka from Celtic mythology).
I'm inclined to believe the invisible friend bunny line is referencing Harvey (1950 film or its remakes), not Donnie Darko. Edit: It also occurred to me the unit's way of speaking is again mirroring James Stewart, from Harvey, It's a Wonderful Life, etc, so double-confirmed.

Интересно, ток помощь ему явно понадобится =) Мне вот лично бы больше зашла идея со сравнением озвучек на разных языках, а если иностранцы помогут, то и переводы разные можно было бы оценить. What would be interesting is multilanguage comparison about warcraft III units. With possible help from people from other countries so there would be a translation comparison too.
@@SlavnoDublyazhnik Думаю ты дал ему достаточно цитат для парочки полноценных выпусков про русские пасхалки) Кстати,респект за это,друг. Даже мне было интересно прочитать все твои комментарий о нашем переводе! Translation for others: I think you gave him enough material for a couple of episodes based on Russian quotes.Also,I respect you for that,buddy. Even I found your comments about our localization kinda entertaining!
From what I have seen Dwaine and Tor together from different translations is "Dark Gate" and afete is "Affect" or "Affliction" so I can only assume he is talking about the Dark Portal which Rexxar had gone through in the first war
After a little research I learned that Russian translation has an entirely different quote for Beastmaster that goes somewhat like this: "Beasts for hire. I summon the beasts, you deal with the consequences." They've also made the joke for Beastmaster a bit better: "I summon, eh, what was it's name, whuh, euaA-A-ATCHEE-HEE! *scream of summoned animal* (that makes a sound of bull mooing) "Weeeell, I didn't estimate such a thing! (probably commenting on the huge size of the animal he just summoned) My guess is that they ultimately decided to combine these two jokes about summoning and then came up with their own joke for the now-empty quote slot.
4:03 You missed another Star Wars reference. 'Jabunabatabadu' isn't gibberish (Well, not random anyway), it's something Bib Fortuna (Jabba's majordomo) says when he first confronts Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi, just before he gets influenced by Jedi mind tricks and lets him in. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RdDPu7RQGq4.html Great work as always, can't imagine how much research get into these videos with so many diverse and sometimes obscure references !
I swear this is probably the 10th time I'm watching this! Abelhawk, don't stop making these videos! We need you buddy! Much love from some country you probably don't even know how to pronounce!
the bandit in Spanish says "Mientras tanto en un campamento de inrreductibles bandidos." (meanwhile in a camp of indomitable bandits) -meanwhile in a camp of indomitable Gauls- (Asterix el galo)
Idk why, but the Goblin Zeppelin has the most nostalgic lines for me. I played far too much WC3 back in the day. Scratch that, the Pandaren Brewmaster is the most iconic. I quote it often, even 16 years later. Shame they changed the Goblins from eccentric maniacs to Italian mobsters. I guess it gives a better societal background, though. I can't imagine piecing one together from nothing more than trigger-happy demolitionists.
9:49 the closest thing I can come up with is that the publishing company was named Tor forge. (for the original beast master series) I suspect someone involved, possibly hard to reach at the time, was named Dwain. Google results; authored a best selling book series named Thrall. Afete, may reference "fête" which is an english verb that means to honor someone, or perhaps name someone has an honored person. (google results again)
I think the quote at 09:48 is yugioh reference in how the characters alway say I will now summon [insert name of monster card] Sato Kiaba always say "Now will summon the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!", and Yugi: "Now I will summon the Dark Magician!"
"In the depth, no one can hear you scream.. Well, they can, but it's really muffled." In Russian localization this line goes like this: "In deep dungeon, no one can hear your piteous moans. And even if they can, they will misunderstand."
It's not nobody. I'm here ^^ Warcraft2 still have the best Warcraft feel. It is over the top, brutal --> Warcraft 2 is as heavy metal as it could be. I miss when being "evil" was ok. I'm a programmer btw and I'm always thinking about making an RTS game what has that feel. What is bad, that I would like to work on an alternative Warcraft3 basically, but it is not possible because of the copyrights.
I don't get it. Maybe the RTS mechanics was better and the story, subjectively, was better, but saying that the old voice lines were better? Might just be his nostalgia talking, but most of them were pretty badly directed, felt like no emotion was put into them, something that Warcraft 3 fixed.
03:12 I have waited so long for you to get to this part! XD I was so proud of myself when I recognised that reference for the first time many years ago.
The 9:55 response in Spanish is "No invocaré al Floripondio del Duanetauro" "Floripondio" is a toxic plant or a slang to refer a to a bad taste flower arrangement. "Duanetauro" in the other hand, I have no idea what that is. So the translation would be "I will not summon the Duanetauro's Floripondio"
The easter bunny saying he's got an invisible human friend I think is more of a reference to "Harvey" than Donnie Darko, I only think this because James Stewart is in that one
Heh. You know, I was rewatching your older quotes videos, and I then checked out your channel to see if I've missed this one. Happy to see it out! I was rather surprised by the other videos on your channel though...
Blizzard have always used a metric shitload of Metallica references, mostly in World of Warcraft, lots of quests are named the same as Metallica songs or lyrics, plenty of achievements as well, and a couple of items, so the bandit at 3:12 isn't much of a surprise
Just thought you should know: the invisible human line's probably supposed to reference a different jimmy stewart movie, called harvey. Its about stewart and his best friend; a six foot three and a half inch tall rabit
Maybe the Goblin Tinker "..gonna need a new Hamster..." is a Maniac Mansion reference? Where you put a Hamster in a Microwave and it explodes. Hehe good ol' Ron Gilbert
Great video, thanks for the content! :) By the way, if you're planning any more Easter Eggs addendum videos, I found a new Easter egg. In the 4th level of RoC UD campaign (Key of Three Moons) you can use an acolyte to repair a bridge west from your base. You can only use 1 acolyte and it takes a few minutes, but once it's done you can directly cross to the western island and complete the majority of the level without using Zeppelins.
First of all... amazing video you did a good job man :D I loved Jaina in the morning xD good touch! and yes I'm a new sub woohoo! by any chance you remember the song 2:44 you used? :c
Cool! But you missed the succubus creep. Or maybe you didn't include her because it's not a playable unit in the campaign? I think the only way to use that unit is to edit it in yourself through the World Editor. EDIT: or control her with Banshees or the Dark Ranger ultimate.
@@RevenantRants I don't think she can be hired without the World Editor. According to Liquipedia, the Outland/Black Citadel Mercenary Camp only offers Fel Beasts, a couple Draenei, and Voidwalkers.
Some custom campaigns let you hire or own a succubus units and her quotes, such as: Malfurion's Quest (when he turns evil and in later missions you can build a summoning pit to recruit her), In Legends of Arkain First Undead book in second mission you have a succubus pseudo-hero called "Lust". And also in Curse of the Forsaken when you have access to a banshee it is possible to posses a succubus. That's all I can think of in terms of *custom* campaign. (But I also remember owning one mistress of pain in one of the Rise of the blood elves campaign) Edit: fixed typo and added what I remembered
In the French dub, the bandits say : "Leon, professional" as a reference to the epynomous movie hitman. Or maybe it's specificaly the bandit javelin throwers/assassins...
The jabanobotawitchyou line the troll makes is from return of the Jedi when bib fortuna meets Luke,so it's not gibberish,I'm not sure on the others thou
