That's the one that cracked me up too. Definitely in the top 3 best episodes of all time.

If your ever played an online game or MMORPG than yeah. I've never played WoW but I loved it. Uber Ownage!

If you've ever played a MMORPG then it is funny. I'm not sure about if you've never played a MMORPG or games in general.

That was Kyle's little brother Ike, you see him later on in the episode helping Kyle train up his character.

Get it while the gettings good. I predict google's going to come down on that episode like Thor on the peasants, soon.


Great episode, though.

I couldn't stop laughing when the nekkid dude ran up to them at the beginning and started dancing.

And then of course the part when they say 'This guy is a real bad ass' and it cuts to the REAL version of the guy. And let's not forget the part when the 'raid leader' asks his mage to cast something and he gets pissed because he is not specced properly (main thing I have against WoW to be honest.)

So many RL truths buried in that episode as well. :p

haha i had my doubts, but that was actually pretty damn funny.

the best part was when stan's dad was "dying" in best buy over the mic. that's too hilarious.

For a second there I thought the dad couldn't pass the sword on because it got soulbound. :)
IMO, the first 10 min. is more funny that the last 10.

I thought both of those things as well. I also thought it would have been hilarious if the guy they finally killed just ran back, resurrected, summoned scorpions, and killed all the newbs again. :p

Didn't really find it all that funny personally. But maybe thats becase I've never played a MMORPG. But it deffinitely is a good example of why i despise such games, you pretty much have to have no life to be good at it. I mean, I knew a guy who dropped out of school becasue they got so addicted to WoW, actually their parents shipped them off to spend a year in China teching English to kids, and now they have hopefully learned their lesson.

EDIT: i can deffinitely understand how if you actually knew what all those things they were talking about were then it could be funny, but since I didn't have a clue what any of that was I probably was missing alot of the jokes.

Sounds like this Australian kid. I'm watching this video of the "Mum", the reporter, and the psychologist all going on and on about the dangers of WoW addiction and how this 16-year old kid was playing 12 hours straight, dropped out of school, and didn't have a job and I all I can think of is the South Park - ADHD cure clip.

Poor old "Mum" should have cancelled his subscription and/or the internet connection before she called the reporters in.
