NOTES ON THIS EPISODE: - Thrall didn't say anything funny or referential, so he wasn't included - Rexxar shares the same voice lines as the regular Beastmaster, so I decided to save him for the Neutral units video - The Blademaster's line "Wassuppi" is actually referring to a more specific "Wassup?"-campaign video (thanks to viewer *crumbs):* ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IP3XaAqDwZ0.html - The footage I showed of the "Wazzup?" line is actually from _Scary Movie,_ not the original ad. - The Wind Rider's line "Flash! HAHAHA" is a reference to the song "Flash" by Queen.
Nazgrel and Drekthar's responses are just lines reused from their campaign dialogue. They probably decided late to give the units custom dialogue and couldn't get the actors to come back to record new stuff.
The Wind Rider’s “Flash HAHAHA” is probably a reference to the queen song Flash, which is about Flash Gordon and features the iconic line “Flash, Ah Ahhhh” (savior of the universe)
@@NoelJohnCarlo Indeed. When czechs hear the word WITCH, they think Baba Yaga and not a jamaican witch doctor. There are more differences in the czech dub, for example many joke quotes were changed, because the refferences wouldn't make sense in our country.
Man, I really wish they had done Warcraft 4 somewhere down the line, now this seems all but a wish never to be fulfilled. Good times playing WC3 with my school friends. I have lost touch with the lore since I don't play WoW, but I remember being fascinated by it when I was young, don't know how it is going today. Last time I checked Arthas was killed.
@@zp6114 "And they said there are no bugs in Blizzard games" is a quote that not only used by Anub'Arak, but overall Crypt Lords in WC3. The very first comment may cause confusion that the quote itself only dedicated to Anub'Arak, which is not true. I was here to clarify that.
Oh boy oh boy, time for an Orcish language lesson! "Zug-zug" is an expression of acknowledgement or agreement "Lok'tar" means victory- it's often used in the phrase "Lok'tar ogar", a battlecry that means "Victory or death!", and is often used as a greeting. "Swobu" and "Dabu" haven't been translated in any canon sources, but according to the RPG, "Swobu" means "As you command", and "Dabu" means "I obey." It can be presumed that although these terms and Zug-zug mean roughly the same thing, there are subtle differences between them in regards to which context you use them in. As a bonus, I know the video didn't talk about these, but "Lok'regar," which is part of one of Thrall's voice lines, means "Ready for orders", though the "ogull" that accompanies it in Thrall's line remains untranslated. Additionally, at some point in the Frozen Throne orc campaign, we hear Thrall say "Lok-Narosh" (alternatively spelled Lok-Narash), which means "Arm yourselves."
Obviously pretty much all the annoyed replies in the French version are based on our local movies and comedians, but there is one standout exception that I'd like to share. One of the Tauren's annoyed replies is "Where is the vase of Lord Markham??" This is an insanely specific reference to a bugged quest in Might and Magic 7 where we're supposed to steal a vase that isn't actually in the game. I sometimes wonder how many people got it.
I ALWAYS WONDERED ABOUT THE "VENGEANCE FOR ZUL'JIN" LINE!!! Thanks for clarifying that! I didn't realize the cuban accent connection at all before. Amazing work as always!
I'm still unsure if that is an unintentional line or not. In WoW the troll male player has a /charge that yells "For Zul'jin!" which means Blizzard would've acknowledged if that line was a mess up. Plus Zul'jin is not directly a name but a couple phrases. "Zul" translates to "Voodoo Master" and "jin" (in the RPG) is "Chieftain/Elder", thus "Zul'jin" translates to "Great Tribal Witch Doctor". In WoW, the player could be referring to Vol'jin. wow.gamepedia.com/Zandali
Well, a few things about russian localization (I hope anyone will find it interesting): Our grunts and raiders sound more...orcish. Their voices are rougher and they are growling. And they dont sound like master Yoda. And raider also make a reference to old soviet carton "There once was a dog" (Жил-был Пёс). With trolls.... well, almost everyone speak normally, but Vol'jin and Rokhan have some sort of central asian-caucasian accents with grammar mistakes. But instead of Rokhan quote from this video, our has one funnier: (in normal voice) "Where did the accent go? Try it yourself - you will break your tongue". Ironically, in warcraft 3 our taurens called minotaurs. Blademsater doesnt have a japanese accent, but he use many japanese words in his quotes. And some funny quotes (why not): "Ghoul to ghoul: friend, comrade and food" (Headhunter) "Do orcs dream of electropigs?" (shaman) "The one who does nothing is not mistaken" (shaman) "Have you heard of mad cow disease" (tauren) "Excessive use of vitamin c leads to the dilution of the brain" (with doctor) "Still don't believe in democracy? Then we fly to you" (Batrider) "Hey, do your cat smoke? No? Then it is the Great Hall burning" (Batrider) "Two blades. One cuts clean. Second...even cleaner!" (Blademaster) "Goblin is a proud bird: will not fly until you kick" (Blademaster) "Let the force be with you" (Far Seer) "Any statement is false. This one too" (Far seer) "You are the commander! Don't make smart face" (Shadow hunter) "It's good to have a house in a village" (Tauren Chieftain) "My wyvern doesn't like you. I don't like you too" (Wyvern rider) "My strength will not leave me... *Old man cough* I hope" (Cairne) "Don' confuse cattle with minotaurs" (Spirit walker) "Not everyone with horns are cuckolds" (Spirit walker) (sing old sildiers song) "Bullet pierced the bottom of the poooooot" (Grom)
3:25 when I used to play my translated version many years before, I never got that reference until I heard the english original (due to the fact that our translated version completly deleted that shattering sound and Tauren just said "sorry"). However, even if our traslaters would include that sound, most of our people wouldnt understand anyway, since we say this proverb in slightly different way (roughly translated to english as "To act like elephant amongs porcelain"). It is often amazing how translation from one language to another can bring such difficult challenges...
I've been waiting for this one, can't get enough of the Human quotes. Thanks! ^^ Back when I was a kid playing the game, I legit thought that the Witch Doctor has a huge-ass mouth that is always open. Only now I realised that it's a beard, or some cloth.
sweet! Always love to find out more about my favourite game! I always wondered if the "end justifies tha means" from the Batrider is some kind of refference. Riders and batriders have my favourite voice lines in the whole game :D
some of these are just general common culture statements such as: "someone call a doctor" is commonly used in movies/tv, not just oceans 11 "tell my wife I love her" was/is a common thing for military personal to say in their last breaths on the battlefield (or at least movies and tv seem to think so)
the tauren in the french version had a lined were he said "were is the vase of markham?" which is a refference to might and magic 7 were because of a bug the vase was impossible to be found
9:22 in Russian localisation from 2002 it has lightly different meaning but still with accent. Suddenly he starts speaking normal and says "Where the accent gone? Try by yourself! You'll broke the tongue". Saddly it doesn't sound good in Reforged
8:33 is a reference to "Interstate 60" by Bob Gale from 2002. I found it quite enjoyable. Edit(/Add): "Pass the peace pipe!" could also be a reference to it, because Interstate 60 was very much also about a magic pipe.
The batrider line "tell my wife-" *explodes* isn't a reference to any specific thing. It's an allusion to a common trope where someone who knows they are about to die desperately tries to tell someone else to pass a message to their wife, but is brutally cut off by whatever is killing them. Thus ensuring the message never gets out.
Great vid. Maybe a bit late to the party , but i wonder if the troll line was wrong. Instead of vengenace for Zul'jyn it would be Sen'jin who was their leader when Thrall rescued them and added them to the horde in the Warcraft 3 demo.
The Darkspear tribe are a tribe of jungle trolls (occasionally called island trolls)[2] part of the Horde. During Thrall's exodus from Lordaeron, the Horde rescued the Darkspears from the mysterious naga sea witch Zar'jira. The Darkspear tribe owed Thrall and the orcs a great debt and allied themselves with the Horde in gratitude.
Oh God, this is amazing! Thank you! I'm Czech, so I didn't get many references in English version. Is also interesting to compare some quotes with that Czech ones which are deffirent xD
My message ringtone: "My blade can cut through armor, and still cut through tomato...!" My dad: Uhh, who's blade...? You better not playing with knife again, young lady...!
Theres this goofy thing about spanish localisation and translation. One of the pissed off quotes for the shaman says "We will translate this literally as you ever got hit by lightning where the Sun dont shine". The VA read the whole phrase while recording and the whole audio was put into the videogame. The spanish translation for w3 is really nice but theres a few examples of goofy stuff
@@Abelhawk ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R33rCHIiKCM.html it is the quote that appears at 3:35 "Esto lo traducimos literal : Te ha alcanzado alguna vez un rayo donde el sol no lucia?" "We will translate this one literally : have you ever been hit by a lightning where the sun do not shines?" "
Warcract II lines sound SO badass. The way they are edited in post is just amazing. I was impressed by it when I was a child and I am still impressed by it.
4:58 - 5:02 we be jammin with jammin music video 9:51 - 9:54 I be jammin again with jammin music 9:55 - 9:57 we be jammin yet again with jammin music video with loud How many jammin are there XD
The Zandali trolls have more of a African accent. It sound like Eugene Khumbanyiwa did voice work for them. The Amani trolls have Cuban accent. The Gurubashi trolls have a Jamaican accent.
If you will poke observer in original starcraft he will retranslate different radiowaves including Armstrong's (or Oldrin's, I forgot, sorry) words about steps and also he will say "STOP POKING ME!"
8:47 I remebered this scene from the first "Lucifer" episode. Do you remember when Lucifer smokes joint found on crime scene, passes it and Chloe Decker and she throws it out. He says "hey its puff puff give, not puff puff stomp angrily"
Zug-Zug in Orchish means "Ball" Or "Penis" Because if you go to dreanor and poke some of the mag'har orcs they will say "Oh! Right in the Zug-Zug..." Edit: Properly
Wait the green troll also explains when thrall sees the sleeping trolls in the first orc campaign he says I still can't believe they were ever a part of the horde
