+hirumaredx I don't know why ppl care about the way you said words. You know that smart ppl understand the words eaven you pronunce them wrongly. So they focus more on pronunciaton then the content. Thats so shallow. Relax, english is not the most spoken language in the world + you know english, they don't know your language ;)
In Shattrath, there's an NPC in World's Tavern called Haris Pilton that sells expensive bags and jewelry and has a worg pup named Tinkerbell. Her ghostly friend Ricole Nichie could only be seen with the priest only Eye of Divinity (no longer obtainable). There's an NPC in Uldum called Harrison Jones, and one of the quests with him is Harrison Jones and the Temple of Uldum.
Actually the egg near the genie reference is another Robin Williams reference, its the egg ship that Mork from Ork rides in at the start of the pilot from Mork and Mindy. Williams played Mork.
+Dirty Rights👽 I know right, I feel like he had to do it on purpose. How does one enter adult age and have never heard Black Sabbath or even the word Sabbath spoken correctly
How about the Tenacious Defender from Hellfire Ramparts with the item text "It has the power, to move you" Which is a direct quote from Tenacious D's song, Wonderboy :) Great list though :)
There is a point break movie reference in the dragon soul raid. After you defeat ultraxion, you board the skyboat with kaanu reeves and sky captain swayze.
21:22 That place off the coast of Tanaris is just the sunken version of the island where the Draconic for Dummies was buried in the Scepter of the Shifting Sands quest. The island itself was thought to be a secret easter egg in pre-cata WoW, as most players never got to the part of the quest where they're supposed to visit it. Also, it was only reachable through some kind of swim speed increase.
There are also references to the band Iron Maiden. The achievement "Be Quick or Be Dead!" - Same name as one of their songs. The achievement "The Boy Who Would Be King" - Reference to the Iron Maiden song "The Man Who Would Be King"
I love your videos. It's great to listen to while im out questing or grinding. The time goes by so fast and it makes the whole experience that much more enthralling.
So many pronunciation mistakes! Like the Val'kyrs, which you call Valkyrie. Even though the Val'kyrs are a nod towards the Valkyrie, they are certainly pronounced the same. And I do not even know what the Valcry are.
# 73 the conversation might be a reference to the play "Waiting for Godot" by Samuel Beckett. The play has two characters talking next to a tree throughout the entire show as they move away but then always return to the same play as they started at the end. I read it just a few weeks ago and performed a scene from it for my drama class!
Ayyyyy Insane Clown Posse. Theres a psychopathic hatchet in the game?! Want. That Trigun reference is pretty cool, never noticed it. You pronounced Dirte wrong. It is Deer-tay.
You may be too young to know this Hirumaredx, but the egg you mentioned at 21:42 found next to the magic lamp may be referring to the tv show Mork & Mindy from the late 70s and early 80s. The actor Robin Williams played an alien named Mork who was sent to Earth to observe and interact with humans. Mork's spaceship was a giant egg.
Jovan M. Man, I agree with you. This was a really interesting list and fun to watch, but man, when he was pronouncing the places or NPCs in Northrend, it was difficult to listen to because I'm Icelandic, because lots of the places and names are similar to Icelandic, and the vrykul language is really similar to Icelandic, making it easy for us here to understand it. And hearing him pronounce simple words like 'fjord', making it sound like 'fdjord', made me cringe a bit :P putting all these 'dj' sounds where it should sound more like an 'y'. But enough rambling from me! Tl;dr version is that I totally agree with you, just had to rant a bit :P
+Birna Dröfn Pálsdóttir considering millions of players still pronounce Draenor as Dr - eh - nor instead of Dr - ah - nor, I wouldn't think much of it.
Hadouken is based on the Kamehame wave from "Dragon Ball", not "Dragon Ball Z", since Streetfighter pre-dates Dragon Ball Z, even the Dragon Ball Z Manga wasn't released until a year after Streetfighter. Dragon Ball is what has existed since 1984, Streetfighter 1987, Dragon Ball Z 1988.
# 26, that isn't from How to Train your Dragon, the two unicorns is actually from the Disney movie Tangled when Rapunzel and Flin go into the little duckling pub and they sing, " I got a Dream."
The best part about Hirumaredx making a video, is going to the comment section and having a laugh at people getting angry at each other, or sending Hirumaredx threats for mispronouncing words. Or someone getting angry that he got one or a few aspects wrong.
Don't forget the "Top Gun" reference in shadowmoon valley when doing dailies for the netherwing. There's an Orc at the top of a watch tower as you race "mulverick" that screams "MULVERICK" as you race mulverick. And once you beat him he say you can be his wingman lmao
+Hirumaredx just so you know, before the launch of WoD the isle below Draenor to the south west was meant to be an un-named "Ogre Island" but was never released, just like Farahlon.
Lady has been in AB for longer than GoT was popular, I am going to assume it is a Lady and the Tramp reference but they did not have optimal character models to depict it.
"Black Sa-bawth"? Destroyed those 70's and 80's hard rock band names. Jumping the shark came from Happy Days when the Fonz jumped sharks on his motorcycle.
No. If you go watch someone jump a shark what happens after they do it? Nothing. It's been done and now everyone is standing around bored. When something jumps the shark it means the good part of something is over
I love how we "probably didn't know" about The Wizard of Oz, Romeo and Julia, or Little Red Ridinghood :) If those are not the referenciest of references in a game, ever, I'll be damned.
Btw: 42 is the ASCII code for the asterisk sign, which is interpreted by a computer as "anything you want". Since the author of Hitchhikers was a huge IT nerd, this is the meaning of 42 as the answer to everything.
Super niche reference when the mounts page came in. The “spectral wolf” mount had the info text “fears only fire” which from all my searching only references an XKCD comic mouseover text... alas it has since been removed.
Fact 75. There used to be a small island there (untill cata came), and it would give you a quest from the most LEGENDARY chain quest in the game which was no other than the quest for the malet for the AQ opening event ...
In the Game you run into "Razzak Ironsides", (Spelling issues here), Defending a city against Giant Bugs.. a Reference to Michael Ironside, who played LT Rasczak in the movie Starship Troopers. (Complete with Mechanical Arm!). In the Valley with the "POD RACING", (obviously Star Wars.). It looks kinda like The Salt Flats in Utah. You will notice Tire Tracks going straight into a Mountain.. But No Wreckage... That is a Tribute to the Classic Movie, Buckaroo Bonzai!! (Because Peter's Character Drives a Car Through a Mountain to Enter the 8th Dimension!!!).. The best part is.. go to the other side of the mountain.. to see where he came out... It has tire Tracks coming out... (Obviously he made it out of the 8th dimension...), But then shortly after the tracks end as they hit a small hill and there is Wrecked Vehicle Debris... in this scenario... he came out of the 8th dimension.. a bit too soon!
The broken egg with the chair inside is a reference to the show Mork & Mindy, which Robin Williams co-starred in. That's why the Robin npc is right next to it.
While I appreciate your efforts to dig up some fun facts, please please please have someone (educated) go through your audio commentary to aid in your atrocious pronunciation. I'm not referring to the WoW stuff, because that is subject to some interpretation, but about basic words such as "leper" and "fjord". It was very entertaining to hear your facts until you mispronounced something and suddenly there would be this stabbing ear spike. Thank you.
Chief Hawkwind in Taurens starting area :ref to the band Hawkwind Siouxie the Banshee in DK starting area... ref to Siouxie and the Banshees Band Murlocks: Ref to H,G Wells The time machine
"Fraya is Fray-ja." You clearly know how to research these things, you have a lot of good and interesting information... But please for the love of God learn how to pronounce these things properly.
No way that wolf is named Lady for anything related to GoT. GoT premiered 2011. Arathi Basin was introduced in 1.7 in 2005. Not to mention that "Lady" is not an unusual name for a canine.
In the Death Knight starting zone, there's an NPC named Siouxsie the Banshee, a reference to the band Siouxsie and the Banshee. Also, Mayor Quimby in the Death Knight starting zone is a reference to Mayor Quimby from The Simpsons.
So weird fact - Mia Rose played horde on Mal'Ganis back during TBC - I remember ganking her multiple times. She was in Aurora as almost a token member. She actually didn't play a night elf.
18:02 dude have you never heard the Jaws theme before
HLM jaws or not, thats just the c’assic theme for any shark tense moment
I was starting to think he is actually text to speak in this vid because of all the mis-pronunciation as well :D dude is a bot.
HOW did he get it so wrong??
Local Man CALCULATING HUMAN RESPONSE “EL OH EL. YOU ARE SO RIGHT.” HUMAN RESPONSE EXECUTED
I'm so glad someone else commented. Like... what?
I really wish I could just re-record the lines for this video. Thats what I get for rushing the voice over part.
+hirumaredx that picture in the video isnt the mia rose that plays wow.... thats a diffrent mia rose :)
Since you mangled the pronunciation of damn near everything...yeah, I bet you do.
+hirumaredx I don't know why ppl care about the way you said words. You know that smart ppl understand the words eaven you pronunce them wrongly. So they focus more on pronunciaton then the content.

Thank you, I was frantically looking for this comment
@@bustin9549 haha
Gotta be one of the best WoW videos I've watched, you must have put in a hell of a lot of time researching this stuff and edit it, nice one dude.
TheLazyPeon oh you have no idea, its was a nightmare to put together.
did you really not come up with any references to the Mesopotamian paganism? WoW lore is practically based on this...the whole Titans vs Void lords
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
all that time and effort and cant even say half the shit properly LOL
what the fuck was that Jaws music rendition oh my god i'm dying
Awesome list! - nr. 26 "the suttle How to Train Your Dragon reference" is actually from the movie Tangled :)
I have never seen a human being pronounce so many things incorrectly before I watched hirumared's videos.
+Doctor Dungus C'mon man. Talking is hard.
+Doctor Dungus Oh thank fuck, after seeing the 40k subs, I thought I was the only one who noticed his horrendous pronunciations...
***** Da nuh, dannununun, daaa nuhh.
"Magni Bronze Bird"? what

In Shattrath, there's an NPC in World's Tavern called Haris Pilton that sells expensive bags and jewelry and has a worg pup named Tinkerbell. Her ghostly friend Ricole Nichie could only be seen with the priest only Eye of Divinity (no longer obtainable).

showing your age here homey
I love listening to black sab bath in the howling F-jords
Holy fucking shit you slaughter almost every name you came across.
Ymirheim is not reference to Ilmr, but to Ymir- a giant who was first living entity :)
The picture you put of Mia Rose is not the porn actress, but a portuguese singer by the same name.
When he said "Black Sabbath" at 6:10 i cringed so hard.
Omg why didn't he know how to pronounce it xD
+Dirty Rights👽 I know right, I feel like he had to do it on purpose. How does one enter adult age and have never heard Black Sabbath or even the word Sabbath spoken correctly
+Dirty Rights👽 "qweenz-d-rishe?"
Not everyone is into and or worships that Garbo
THEY ALL HURT
"references the movie's musical thing" *completely butchers said theme*
Seriously lol, how does anyone screw up the jaws theme THAT badly,...
That part was so fucking stupid
And put it on UA-cam!!!
18:02
How did you fuck up the jaws theme? Like, holy crap, wtf even was that?
26 is not How to train your dragon. It is Tangled
Seymour made it into Legion. Somewhere in stormheim you can find him kneeling down by a dead NPC that appears to be his mother.
What about "Grand Theft Palomnio" and "Mayor Quimbie" from the death knight starting zone ? (sry if i spelled it wrong)
he said 107 facts not 108 arrite?!
lmao, the jaws theme.. xD oh god ,.. lmao. so bad.. hilarious.
That was fucking awful
Have you not ever heard the theme to Jaws?
the JAWS part was fkn brutal to watch man
"His staff, Aydash" lol
realy lovin the leeper gnomes and dodge coins
You got me at "Slim" shady dealer... best one yet...
How about the Tenacious Defender from Hellfire Ramparts with the item text "It has the power, to move you" Which is a direct quote from Tenacious D's song, Wonderboy :)
Great list though :)
it's pronounced like Queens-rike (like bike but with an r)
There is a point break movie reference in the dragon soul raid. After you defeat ultraxion, you board the skyboat with kaanu reeves and sky captain swayze.
21:59 "least most popular".....that doesn't sound right
21:22 That place off the coast of Tanaris is just the sunken version of the island where the Draconic for Dummies was buried in the Scepter of the Shifting Sands quest. The island itself was thought to be a secret easter egg in pre-cata WoW, as most players never got to the part of the quest where they're supposed to visit it.

Mother of pronunciation
There are also references to the band Iron Maiden.
The achievement "Be Quick or Be Dead!" - Same name as one of their songs.
The achievement "The Boy Who Would Be King" - Reference to the Iron Maiden song "The Man Who Would Be King"
hallowed be thy name achievement :D
and Minutes to Midnight from dragon soul.
I love your videos. It's great to listen to while im out questing or grinding. The time goes by so fast and it makes the whole experience that much more enthralling.
Fjord = Fyord
Thank you
So many pronunciation mistakes! Like the Val'kyrs, which you call Valkyrie. Even though the Val'kyrs are a nod towards the Valkyrie, they are certainly pronounced the same. And I do not even know what the Valcry are.

The best part about Hirumaredx making a video, is going to the comment section and having a laugh at people getting angry at each other, or sending Hirumaredx threats for mispronouncing words. Or someone getting angry that he got one or a few aspects wrong.

Better rename it to 107 References in Wow.
my personal favorite is the "What a long, strange trip it´s been" achievment reference, a The Grateful Dead album released in ´77
I think this guy is actively pronouncing words incorrectly just to spite me.
7:50 that's actually from Tangled lol, it's one of the brutes in the Snuggly Duckling when Rapunzel is singing about her dream
I mean, even if you don't know how a word sounds... you'd figure you'd get lucky once. It's uncanny! Great video, though
Homer wasnt forced to eat the lobster, he said "i should eat it myself, mr. pinchy would have wanted that" :D
7:50 Isn't that from Tangled?
Lady has been in AB for longer than GoT was popular, I am going to assume it is a Lady and the Tramp reference but they did not have optimal character models to depict it.

what about Harrison Jones???

+AG zombiekiller
yeah it is a great reference to Harrison Ford.
+Dominique Thomas
Snakes? Why does it have to be snakes?
Another fact: The horde bodyguard Vivianne sometimes says "How do you kill that of which has no life?" another reference to Make Love, not Warcraft.
Finally! Oh ive waited for this :>

hirumaredx Really enjoyed the video thanks for your hard work.

"Leaper gnome" Im done haha
CHunk of Dogestone also sells for 13 gold, 37 silver, a reference to the slang for elite commonly pronounced as "1337", "L33t" or "Leet."
Howling fyord! Not Howling fgord!
I think that the "Project 9" raptor is a refference to the Alien series, where the Alien called 6 is raised on a ship and gains control over it.

Super niche reference when the mounts page came in. The “spectral wolf” mount had the info text “fears only fire” which from all my searching only references an XKCD comic mouseover text... alas it has since been removed.

Fact 75. There used to be a small island there (untill cata came), and it would give you a quest from the most LEGENDARY chain quest in the game which was no other than the quest for the malet for the AQ opening event ...
lol its pronounced "Queens-Rike"
Also its "Howling Fyord" not Feshord.
In Norse languages, the J is pronounced like a Y. The Y is pronounced like an I in "him" or a slight "ew" sound.
In the Game you run into "Razzak Ironsides", (Spelling issues here), Defending a city against Giant Bugs.. a Reference to Michael Ironside, who played LT Rasczak in the movie Starship Troopers. (Complete with Mechanical Arm!). In the Valley with the "POD RACING", (obviously Star Wars.). It looks kinda like The Salt Flats in Utah. You will notice Tire Tracks going straight into a Mountain.. But No Wreckage... That is a Tribute to the Classic Movie, Buckaroo Bonzai!! (Because Peter's Character Drives a Car Through a Mountain to Enter the 8th Dimension!!!)..

What the fuck is fight club? Never heard of it.
+Jan Dobrzyński Stop what you are doing and watch it immediately, don't look up anything about it, just go in blind.

I'm Joekcer 107 facts is kind of an obscure number.

Zereleth Yep, copied the number. Fact videos aren't an entirely original idea anyway, so I basically just copied the number.
The broken egg with the chair inside is a reference to the show Mork & Mindy, which Robin Williams co-starred in. That's why the Robin npc is right next to it.
As a Swede, Karamelldansen sounds hilarious when Americans try to pronounce it
Thank you for putting me in this video !
how is it possible to be completely incapable of pronouncing a single one of these things?
I know this is an older vid, but for all of my fellow goths, dont forget "Siouxsie the Banshee" in DK starting zone.
While I appreciate your efforts to dig up some fun facts, please please please have someone (educated) go through your audio commentary to aid in your atrocious pronunciation. I'm not referring to the WoW stuff, because that is subject to some interpretation, but about basic words such as "leper" and "fjord".

Thank you.
You forgot: "Me Grimlokk, me king!"- Transformers reference in that 40+ dungeon.
Those longer I get into this video, the more I realize how WoW "borrows" all of it's ideas and has almost no original content.
That "Easter Egg" near the genie from Aladin, is actually a reference to Mork and Mindy. The show where Robin Williams got his big start.
All those complaining about his pronounciation. Wtf? Enjoy the god damn video, you can understand what he's saying can't you? Jesus Christ.
Chief Hawkwind in Taurens starting area :ref to the band Hawkwind
Siouxie the Banshee in DK starting area... ref to Siouxie and the Banshees Band
Murlocks: Ref to H,G Wells The time machine
"Fraya is Fray-ja."

In the Death Knight starting zone, there's an NPC named Siouxsie the Banshee, a reference to the band Siouxsie and the Banshee. Also, Mayor Quimby in the Death Knight starting zone is a reference to Mayor Quimby from The Simpsons.
Your pronunciation is shocking.
So weird fact - Mia Rose played horde on Mal'Ganis back during TBC - I remember ganking her multiple times. She was in Aurora as almost a token member. She actually didn't play a night elf.
