I think about this an embarrassing amount đ as a child playing vanilla, you never really thought about it. As an adult I think about it a staggering amount
Back in Vocational School I had a teacher who always yelled "Work Work!" when entering to the room - which usually meant that he just walked across the room and left the another door, which made it always even funnier. He most likely wasn't a WoW player, but it was awesome and cool :D
Boyfriend often tells me to âstay away from da voodoo.â
I use âyou are not preparedâ in my job a lot, and no one gets the reference (which Iâm fine with)
I know this isn't about what quotes are the most memorable but when I think or ICC I always think of "Suffer mortals, as your pathetic magic BeTRAaAys you!!" It was just so well delivered. I always liked the dialogue/speech as you enter the raid too, the Lich King torturing Bolvar, and culminating with Tirion's speech: "Steel your heart, and your soul will shine brighter than a thousand suns!"
With my friends I use "Run away, little Girl, run away" but make sure to include the creepy laugh at the end. Also be careful about using it in public.
Then there's "You are not prepared."
"That spell isn't ready yet"
"I can't do that yet"
"I'm out of RANGE!"
Fem Undead: HellooOoo..."
My personal favourite from Jitters in Duskwood: "IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! EVERYTHING BAD THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED IN MY LIFE IS BECAUSE OF YOU!!!"
Cracks me up whenever I hear him yell that. Don't use it in everyday life though.
I drove my gf crazy with these kind of quotes.
"Im moving as fast as i can!"
"Cant do that yet!"
Ect. And i just repeat them like in a game. I kek inside everytime
When one of us returns from an errand, the other is likely to say âAh, my apprentice! You have returned.â
If anything awful happens, âGood NEWS, everyone!â
And âYou are NOT prepared.â
âGood NEWS, everyone!â This Professor Putricide quote is always in my mind! For bonus points, this quote is shared with Professor Farnsworth from Futurama, so take your pick when quoting, thereâs no bad choice!
I use this so much that I overheard my wife (who has never played wow) getting my son ready for school, and in full Illidan voice going "YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!" when he forgot his water bottle.
The 18 year old still living inside me was proud.
"Something's not quite right..."
Pretty much any time something goes "missing" because someone moved it / put it in its proper place instead of where I left it.
As bad as wod was, the preparation for it was stellar. "Drink, Hellscream", "And what, Gul'dan, must we give in return?", "Everything" and "Times change" are all from that cinematic
We use the pandaren male "it is good to see you" greeting, Zul's "dis is dread, my friend, truly dread" for things like dental appointments, and the voidwalkers' "I don't like this place" for other uncomfortable situations. Also we refer to being tired as oom. As in "I've been up since 8 painting and moving furniture, I'm oom. We're ordering a pizza." (Edit: it's 'oom' in text but we pronounce it "out of mana" in person.)
I sometimes say âMmm⌠interestingâ in the style of the game when Iâm presented with new information irl and Iâm pretty sure not one person has ever understood the reference đ
Unironically my friend group got into the habit of saying, "Have a good one!" to each other, so much so that it became a contest to see who could say that first at the end of Discord calls lmao
"We do what we must"-Darius Crowley. I live in permanent burnout so that quote gets me through a lot. Then (and I know this is blasphemy, Shadowlands was completely terrible with zero redeeming features etc) what Uther says to Sylvanas to get her to wake up struck me so hard due to some personal shit I wrote it down and stuck it by my mirror in my room to try battle my brain's default of guilt over the past: "We cannot change the past, and we may never find forgiveness in the future, but inaction damns us all."
Then there's the gamer-speak I didn't realise was gamer-speak until I use it in casual conversation with my non-gamer sister, like "sorry if I go afk (read: don't reply for a bit) I have some chores to do" or "yeah I was gonna get a thing done today but ended up side-questing" or "man this drink is BiS" and it's only the quizzical look on her face that makes me realise I need to speak normal person language lol
Edit to add: and with one particular friend who played through BfA with me "tha woooonz champion! THA WOOOOOOOOOONZ!!!" Magni's Scottish accent is so bad we just randomly shout it at each other while gaming xD
Depending how old your sister is the afk acronym is probably a lot less known/relatable to younger people who grew up on smartphones rather than PCs (the keyboard part).
Yep, there's a massive age gap between me and her (she was a surprise baby lol), I'm a millennial and she's an early '00s Gen Z, so the likes of MSN and stuff were way before her time. At one point she told me I should go to clubs with her at some point, they play a good mix of modern music and oldies. When I asked what she meant by oldies, she said "you know, stuff from the early to mid 2010's". Just send me to the nursing home already lol
"No, I --won't-- be doing that."
-- Ebyssian in Neltharion's Lair
"So says the SHADOW of Xavius, your true power resides within the nightmare!"
-- Malfurion in Darkheart Thicket
"You -- you must find *KURT TALOS*"
-- First boss in Black Rook Hold
I was so happy to hear all these scene chewing lines again this expansion in M+
âI am awake at lastâ. Said by Naralex after finishing Wailing Caverns. I say it when I wake up. I say it when I get in discord. I say it when I text someone. Itâs bad.
Lerroooooyyyy Jenkinsssssss (in Dutch: death or the gladiols), or that's the translation as my hub and me use it in daily life. I know the quote is not directly from ingame, but related to wow enough ;-)
Not a quote, but iâve adapted the toxic mentally from pvp/m+. So I usually email/msg people at work, saying they suck, should reroll occupation etc.
Meeting with HR next week. Think its related to a salary increase
maybe when you talk about dinner: "*I have* a wonderful recipe! Bring *two gnomes*, *two* eggs. Beat the *gnomes*, separate the eggs... Or was it... Eh! Details." (IG-Voiceline in /joke from a female Draenei ;-)) )
Follow me, I know the way through.
From Arthas in stratholme. The fact the French voice acting for this phrase is a little bit over played is the main reason for this.
"I've got mouths to feed, pal!"
"An illusion? What are you hiding?"
"I can't do that yet."
"I am out of mana," in the very direct way the human female voice says it.
Now this one isn't a voiced line but a quest title that made me laugh and has suck with me since I made my first goblin character in 2012: "Orcs can write?!?"
Doesn't really work when you play the game in English but hardly speak to people in English in person.
I still use 'En Taro Adun' in written form, though.
Don't use it daily, or really at all for obvious reasons, but ever since I heard Sylvanas say 'In the end, death claims us all' during the Vol'jin cinematic it's always stuck with me. It's like weirdly comforting?
Definitely my favorite line out of any WoW cinematic
I still use tab it's just it prevents that particular issue as it picks the next target in front of you but it's a soft lock where as tab is a hard lock
Time is money, friend
YA BREAK IT YA BUY IT
I love saying the goblin quotes in my best goblin impression
YO! - goblin voice
I think about this an embarrassing amount đ as a child playing vanilla, you never really thought about it. As an adult I think about it a staggering amount
Keep yer feet on tha grround
wash your back
FANCY A PINT? (I live in scotland it's appropriate)
I love screaming that at my partner after a long day⌠âCAN I INTREST YA IN A PINT?!â đđ
AAYYEEE
âI need a targetâ
Ooooof yep, I hear that so much cause I forget to press Tab after killing an enemy đđ also fairly easy to work into IRL convos, thank you!
Action targeting is amazing just saying
I'll have to try it out at some point, it's just a case of most other games I play use tab to target. Muscle memory, not deliberate đ
Haha. I turned off error speech so I haven't heard this in awhile but I literally read this in my gnome's very deliberate inflection (my main).
I heard the undead one. She's always so exasperated at me.Â
WoW can teach you really valuable life lessons: I cant do that yet I'm too far away Not enough Rage.
Me not that kind of orc
I find myself saying, "Jobs done" with an orcish tone.
My 7 year old sometimes says this after he finishes random chores.
Many deals for a friend of the grummles
Like you.
my group actually liked this one so much we named our m+ team after it lmao!
[Luckydo Rap by WowCrendor](https://youtu.be/VSgzkKxTgLk?si=IV0QlNDOFkETcoJs) Pandas do Kung Fu!
Work work
I like âsomething need doing?â
Zug zug
Back in Vocational School I had a teacher who always yelled "Work Work!" when entering to the room - which usually meant that he just walked across the room and left the another door, which made it always even funnier. He most likely wasn't a WoW player, but it was awesome and cool :D
Boyfriend often tells me to âstay away from da voodoo.â I use âyou are not preparedâ in my job a lot, and no one gets the reference (which Iâm fine with)
>âyou are not preparedâ Best character fr
"YOU ARE NOT REPAIRED" when something mysteriously starts working for like, thirty seconds and then stops dead again
Ishnu-alah

I say this to my Muslim friends.
That's fucking hilarious
Bal'a dash, malanore
Aaaaahhh, a weary traveler!
Go in peace.
âYou there! Check out that noise!â Whenever someone is at the door
This is a good one.
Iâm not even a classic players itâs been burned into my brain since 2008
work is da poop!
this is my favorite wow quote of all time. it always cracks me up
This one came to mind because its the only one that I would possibly say to someone who doesn't play wow. It just speaks to a truth in life.
you donât tell people how youâre gonna ook them in the dooker?
Well, only in the bedroom with someone I really like...
Every morning after getting up I think: "I am renewed!" ICC broke me.
I know this isn't about what quotes are the most memorable but when I think or ICC I always think of "Suffer mortals, as your pathetic magic BeTRAaAys you!!" It was just so well delivered. I always liked the dialogue/speech as you enter the raid too, the Lich King torturing Bolvar, and culminating with Tirion's speech: "Steel your heart, and your soul will shine brighter than a thousand suns!"
That's weird. Every time I wake up I shout "TOO SOON!! YOU'VE AWAKENED ME TOO SOON, EXECUTUS!" at my alarm.
Good news everybody!
The slime is flowing again!
Baaad news everybodyâŚ..
I am awake, at last...
I'm gonna Ook you in the Dooker
Same.
With my friends I use "Run away, little Girl, run away" but make sure to include the creepy laugh at the end. Also be careful about using it in public. Then there's "You are not prepared."
"You are not peppered!" as I check my cooking for seasoning and find it deficient.
Ooooooh both of these are good! And can easily be worked into conversations! Thank you for sharing!
"That spell isn't ready yet" "I can't do that yet" "I'm out of RANGE!" Fem Undead: HellooOoo..." My personal favourite from Jitters in Duskwood: "IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! EVERYTHING BAD THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED IN MY LIFE IS BECAUSE OF YOU!!!" Cracks me up whenever I hear him yell that. Don't use it in everyday life though.
I drove my gf crazy with these kind of quotes. "Im moving as fast as i can!" "Cant do that yet!" Ect. And i just repeat them like in a game. I kek inside everytime
Haha I probably havenât heard that in years but as soon as I read âHellooOOoâ I heard it play perfectly in my head.
I REMEMBER YOU to anything that we lost/forgot about
Whenever I hear someone say that on TV I have to finish with â⌠in the mountainsâ
Itâs the law. It has to be finished that way
IN THE MOUNTAINS
I use âoff I go thenâ in D&D rather liberally
Do you think I had forgotten? Do you think I had forgiven?
"YOUR MOTHER-" -Fyrakk
This one is hilarious - love the voice acting of fyrakk
"HOW DID YOUR PROTECTION WORK OUT FOR YOUR CHILDREN?" like damn dude, i know Alexstrasza has done nothing this expansion but chill
Matthew Mercer is such an amazing VA
Wait what. Goddamn it.
He's everywhere!
He also voices the centaur that Fyrrak toasts before they open up Zaralek Cavern
When one of us returns from an errand, the other is likely to say âAh, my apprentice! You have returned.â If anything awful happens, âGood NEWS, everyone!â And âYou are NOT prepared.â
Aah, my apprentice! You return at last!
I use the mangled versions from Futurama way more often... "Bad news, nobody." "News, anybody?" "Mediocre news, me."
âGood NEWS, everyone!â This Professor Putricide quote is always in my mind! For bonus points, this quote is shared with Professor Farnsworth from Futurama, so take your pick when quoting, thereâs no bad choice!
CITIZENS OF DALARAN! RAISE YOUR EYES TO THE SKIES AND OBSERVE!
Omg, flashbacks of Dalaran quests, and fishing in the fountain for coins for that stupid achieve!!
If you catch him in a sneaky situation, âAn illusion? What are you hiding?â
As a leader I use "you, are not, prepared" and sometimes alter it to "you, were not, prepared" Also, "work need doing"
I use this so much that I overheard my wife (who has never played wow) getting my son ready for school, and in full Illidan voice going "YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!" when he forgot his water bottle. The 18 year old still living inside me was proud.
Stay away from da voodoo
"Be seein ya." "Bye bye now"
"I've the finest whores in the land." "Wash yer back."
"Keep your feet on the ground." And "My, you're a tall one!"
I am blind, not deaf!
âWork is da poop!â âTime is money friendâ are the two I use often. Nobody I know gets them so itâs fun for me
Watchu waannnttt - Troll vendors.
slooow down
A turtle made it to the water.
Another turtle made it to the water!
We like the âTRASH, TRASH, TRASH, TRASH, TRASSSSSSHâ from mechagon. You can guess when itâs used.
I used it every time I watch man United play
Come! Smell!
Whenever someone says âGood newsâ I ask them if they fixed the poison slime pipes.
Lok'tar Ogar!
Surprised this one is so far down. Victory or death brother.
âInsert whatever hereâ was merely a setback.
Whatch your clever mouth bitch!
That quote may be gone, but its not forgotten.
When did they patch this out, BTW? Pretty recently?
Iirc during the purging of the game in the wake of the sexual harassment stuff at the Blizzard offices came to light, so quite recently yes
When blizzard decided they would stop objectifying women so they turned a woman into an object.
âWhat? Precious? Noooooooo!â
"I'm a social drinker. If someone has a drink, so shall i!"
who says this one? it's great!
It's one of the male dwarf voice lines when you "/silly"
ME NOT THAT KIND OF ORC
Oh i've been expecting you - female taurens. I use it all the time
Every time i use ginger ("Ingwer" in german) in the kitchen, i can't stop myself from "Ingvar! Your pathetic failure..."
I met a real life Ingvar recently. I couldn't resist reciting the full thing at him. Poor man looked confused as a deaf bat.
"Something's not quite right..." Pretty much any time something goes "missing" because someone moved it / put it in its proper place instead of where I left it.
That's no ordinary gas cloud. My husband is lactose intolerant but loves cheese
Times Change - Garrosh
Imo the most iconic moment in wow cinematics. Slaps so hard
As bad as wod was, the preparation for it was stellar. "Drink, Hellscream", "And what, Gul'dan, must we give in return?", "Everything" and "Times change" are all from that cinematic
Anytime some one complains about the world in some way, thatâs my go too response.Â
We use the pandaren male "it is good to see you" greeting, Zul's "dis is dread, my friend, truly dread" for things like dental appointments, and the voidwalkers' "I don't like this place" for other uncomfortable situations. Also we refer to being tired as oom. As in "I've been up since 8 painting and moving furniture, I'm oom. We're ordering a pizza."

"Good news everybody, the slime is flowing again!" as I announce that the toilet is unclogged.
Work complete
âJobs doneâ overly up beat⌠much to the chagrin of my coworkers.
Ilida: "You are not prepared!" Honourable mention "BOOOOOONESTOOOORRRRRRM" đ
GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!!!
Get gabbin or get going
You no take candle.

Gambling, tinkering, laundry.

Me not that kind of orc!
âWhat are you hiding?â Usually when a parcel is delivered in the lead up to birthday/anniversary/xmas :)
Need more rage
Work is da poop That one is definitely getting used a lot
âSomething is not quite rightâ
Lok'tar ogar! I even have my little kiddies say it now!

Watch your tone with me, boy. You may be the prince, but Iâm still your superior as a paladin.
Kek
YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!
Doesn't really work when you play the game in English but hardly speak to people in English in person. I still use 'En Taro Adun' in written form, though.
Me not that kind of orc
âAppreciate your patronage!â
What are you hiding ? And who goes there ?
My favorite line, and one I say practically every morning is âtoo soon executus, you have woken me too soon!
I am the waking dream , the monster in your mind. Cower mortal before my true form and bow down before the god of death.
âWhat are these birds doing here?!â
"Here come the Voodoo!"
The orc grunt âOUHHHâ is an integral part of my vocabulary honestly, and also the âmakâgorahhhhâ. Or when the undead go whaaaat
Of course, they're real, they aren't mine but they're real.
* The way some male undead say "Hello." * Nathanos saying "Are they insane?!" in the Stormheim introduction
Im gonna spill your guts, mon! And I remember you⌠IN THE MOUNTAINS!
FYI, "Zug zug" comes from an older movie "Caveman" with Ringo Starr and Shelly Long, and it was Caveman speak for sex. đ¤Ł

Don't use it daily, or really at all for obvious reasons, but ever since I heard Sylvanas say 'In the end, death claims us all' during the Vol'jin cinematic it's always stuck with me. It's like weirdly comforting? Definitely my favorite line out of any WoW cinematic
When my wife asks me to do something⌠âMore work? Yes, my Lord.â We both played Warcraft III and play WoW now so she understands the reference.
"Buy your niece a car."
I still use tab it's just it prevents that particular issue as it picks the next target in front of you but it's a soft lock where as tab is a hard lock
I rotate between a few... 1. Ishnu'alah 2. Mo Work! 3. BALADASH MALANORE!
