WoW + Simpsons?

I must have missed this episode, but its pretty funny.

Its mostly designed to be a spoof on multiple MMOs, but you can see WoW influence the majority of the time.

Noticable WoW Spoofs.

The character select screen with the orc and undead (and a murloc spoof).

The interface of the game in the begining.

Bart's castle is an exact replica of the throne room in the Undercity, with the lion hands on the sides, the symbol on the floor, and the large twin doors on the far end and the tunnels on the sides.

When Bart is leaving the tavern, he says "I am going to go explore the crevices of Lagrimmar."

After Bart kills Marge in the game, they cut to Bart over her virtual body in a casket, in a area that looks a awful lot like alter were King Terenas was supposed to have his urn, the one right behind the throne in Undercity.

Amusing to say the least, if there was anything keeping WoW from icon statis for this generation, it just went out the door.

It's fairly decent, though I still preferred South Park's parody. That one had more references for players of the game to recognize in its overall presentation, whereas the Simpsons one leaned more frequently toward non-players making fun of people who play MMORPG's.

Many of the Simpsons jokes could be passed off as poking fun at fantasy in general, regardless of their similarity to WoW places and names. On the other hand, who but an actual player would have the sense of instant recognition when the uber-player in South Park jumped around like he did after killing everyone? And Cartman's flippantly dismissive response upon Kyle telling him "I'm an arcane/fire mage" was absolutely priceless, but would be lost on anyone who isn't specifically playing WoW.

Still, both were pretty funny overall.
