Stupid World of Warcraft-playing girls. I was all set to make a joke about how girls never play World of Warcraft and thus would never buy the Horde and Alliance flavors of Mountain Dew Game Fuel, let alone turn into an elf and orc and start fighting each other in a supermarket over said beverages... but then I remembered that many attractive women do play WoW and probably do transform into elves and monsters and fight in supermarkets and would be pissed if I said they didn't exist. Goddammit. You're ruining it for me!

Seriously, couldn't they have at least had the one girl turn into a Fem orc? I mean really. Besides, Fem orcs ROCK and are way cooler than any Nelf. *braces for incoming nerd rage*

*Flounce* I'm a relatively attractive girl, and I play wow, and I drink mountain dew (orange only please), and I start fights (but not over mountain dew), so haaaaarumph! ;p
@Yoggie - Seriously, I can turn into a bear. Nothing is cooler than that, when you're discussing a deranged fictional role playing game that we should all have better things to do than play :D And I can turn into a bear.

Thematically similar to the advert for the Final Fantasy "Potion" energy drinks from a few years back.

I know chicks who play MMOs. In fact I know one very pretty girl who played Star Wars: Galaxies and WoW with me.

My wife plays wow, and there's several chicks in our guild.
And why shouldn't it appeal? I mean even your stereotypical girly girl gets a chat room, dress-up game, and adorable pet collecting sub-game.

@ ZADL - hahaha :D Sometimes, I wish. It seems like that would be easier! I don't know that turning into some weird bear/hyena/boar mix is really an improvement.

So, if any girls reads TR, I think all the male readers will agree to post your pics and IM address. Amirite?

Mtn Dew was wise in choosing the orc for the packaging cuz I tried it yesterday and it tastes like I imagine orc piss would.

While I enjoyed my time in Azeroth I quickly got way to addicted to it and am now extremely glad I quit. Nothing was as surreal as discovering the wonderful amounts of time I now had to do whatever I wanted with; rather than having to be logged in.
That being said. That was a funny commercial, though it fails to make me want to drink that stuff.

Rush Shepard: It's perverted asses like you that create negative stereotypes that us nice guy, hopeless romantic nerdy males have to fight to overcome.
Stop it.

As a woman, I can say with some confidence that we don't drink Mtn. Dew.
Turn into orcs, sure. Drink that crap, no. Silly marketing and its crazy fantasy women.

Its a shame the hotter girl turned into the far less appealing creature.

@Nyx - War Chicken is way cooler than bear any day. And I don't dance on mailboxes so I consider fem orcs ahead in that regard. lol
@Zach T. - Chill. I'm pretty sure any girl worth her salt, took Rush's comment like me, silly and expected. In fact I'm surprised it took so many comments to get it. Taking something like seriously only gives it weight.

Damn right we do. For the Horde!

@ Yoggie - For some reason, I just absolutely refuse to be a stupid moonkin. They really offend me for some reason. I kinda want to be an orc, but the boys of the house would be furious :D They're taking great pleasure in running around with my little baby nightelf right now.
@ Rush - maaaaayyybe? But I want 2k gold out of it, ok?

Mountain Dew must be getting pretty desperate for sales if they're offering free sex change operations and steroids with every bottle.

How did this not get the "Sexy Acts of Nerdery" tag? Come on, that was one hot elf!

Not as cool as the light saber girl-fight previously mentioned here.

Plus that video features the smokin' Clare Grant, an actual, for-real Star Wars nerd.

@ Nyx 2K gold is nothing! You should've asked for more. At least enough so you can buy a traveler's mammoth.

Believe me, you MUST NOT.
I mean...I failed all of my tests because of WoW.
ALL OF THEM.

The ultimate WoW endorsed product advertisement would go a little like this.
We see a low level player collecting herbs, then a high level player ganks him over and over and over again.
Flash cuts of the low level character getting more and more aggravated.
Low level player pulls out a thing of mentos and eats one, then starts kicking the shit out of the high leveled player.
Of course the classic mentos music would be playing.
The Freshmaker.

Were the makers of this commercial aware that there are female Orcs, or did they assume they reproduce asexually?

Awww man! Why couldn't they have had a hot she-troll or she-orc or something??? Or even a blood-elf! Altho, everyone knows that all female blood-elf pallys are 12 year old boys so...yeah.
I'm kindof insulted, because I'm a hot girl (trying not to brag) who plays WOW religiously and I would have liked to see two really hot guys turn into an orc and a female night elf. How does MtnDew know that hot girls are the best advertisement? Maybe we should try the hot guys thing. Just for kicks. Please? And could there be chocolate pudding wrestling? Please?

It's totally true girls will wage mortal combat over WoW in supermarkets. I once pushed a buddy of mine into a display of pork & beans when he said hunters needed a nerf. A good thirty or so cans went rolling into the baby food aisle. If the clerks hadn't descended like the wrath of God, I probably would have finished him off. Stupid guards are overpowered.
But why did she turn into a male orc? I mean... c'mon. Creepy.

Nyx said:
@ Izandra - ha, I should have :D It seemed reasonable at the time!!
@ Rush - per Izandra's orders, I'm now demanding an extra 18k! (Cause the mammoth makes me happy :) )
Also, I really like the Horde flavor. But I adore ridiculous amounts of sugar. I think I'm going to make my favorite photographer do a set of Mountain Dew/Horde photos with me.

I wish they used a female and male instead of two girls. My friend is too addicted to WoW that I think he hoarded too much Mtn Dews, I hope he doesn't get any diabetes after. Well, I'd rather have my child be addicted to games which I have the control over with rather than my kid be involved in drugs. I have the power to monitor my kid's computer usage compared to him using drugs behind my back. I have read an article wherein it was discussed a game helped a student in his financial crisis in real life and it somewhat gave me a new outlook in games. http://www.articletechie.com/WOW-GOLD-SAVES-THE-DAY-How-RMT-helped-a-Starving-Student/a8982_1
