More Mr. T World Of Warcraft Shenanigans

There's something breathtakingly glorious about having Mr. T's Mohawk scanned by fake imaging technology and declared perfection. Blizzard continues to make Mr. Laurence Tureaud the face if its brand.

2007's World of Warcraft commercial starring Mr. T might have been a lark, but Blizzard is serious this time around, with not one but two Mohawk-themed ads airing on televisions across the nation. This is the second, in which Mr. T is determined perfect by advanced technology.

Unfortunately, we've already established in the previous commercial for the Mohawk grenades that Mr. T is indeed a computer hacker, so we can't believe anything that computer says. Sorry, Laurence!

Mr. T Returns To World Of Warcraft - With Grenades

Think Mr. T's original World of Warcraft ad was just a fluke? The Night Elf Mohawk is back, and he's proving his worth - with Mohawk grenades.

Yes, Mohawk grenades. Available today in North America and later this month in Europe and Korea, find a Night Elf Mohawk NPC in your favorite World of Warcraft starting location and they will grant you a five-charge Mohawk grenade, capable of turning anyone in the blast radius into a Night Elf Mohawk. I almost wish I was making this up...almost.

Zootfly Signs Up Mr. T For Some Video Game Jibber Jabber

Listen up, fools! ZootFly and Mr. T have formed a licensing A-Team, announcing that the developer will create a series of games "packed with the trademark over-the-top adrenaline-pumping action of Mr. T." Don't do drugs!

ZootFly's first game will pit the mohawked one against Nazis, obviously, bustin' up the gigantic machines of the Third Reich in "South American rain forests, lost ancient cities, industrial complexes and contemporary military installations." Mr. T will joined by SimCity and Spore designer Will Wright, who's trading in his game design skills for genetic engineering skills. Unfortunately, Wright's been kidnapped by them no good Nazis and T's gotta help. Expect to pity those Nazi fools.

According to ZootFly's announcement, each and every game will feature "knuckle-whitening action-adventure, furious brawler combat, gravity-defying platforming, and environmental puzzles." That's right, Jack! Environmental puzzles, sucka!

Whatever these Mr. T games will be called and whether Wright's actually signed off on having his likeness in the T-rated games, they'll be coming to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and PC. Stay in school!

New WoW Ads Recruit Mr. T and Shatner

This new WoW ad starring Mr. T is seriously the funniest thing I've seen on the internet in some time. I really have little else to say, since I don't want to ruin the fun of watching it. But it did occur to me that much of our readership probably doesn't even know who Mr. T is from anything but parodies or Wikipedia...which caused me to douse my body in Rogaine, divorce my 25-year-old wife for someone 10 7 years younger and ride off into the sunset in an undersized convertible stuffed with gold clubs. Hit the jump for it and the William Shatner spot, which while fully post-worthy, can't contend with Mr. T.

These spots almost make me want to play WoW again. But then I see the scars on my hands and back away.

World of Warcraft Commercials [blizzard] Thanks Victor!
