Chronicle of the Annoying Quest: Difference between revisions

[[Chronicle of the Annoying Quest]] is a [[Machinima]] series produced by [http://www.warcraftmovies.com/pv.php?l=kamuraki Baka Savant Productions], and set in the [[World of Warcraft]] universe. It seems to have been inspired by [[Red vs. Blue]]. The story follows a novice Paladin, [[Good Is Dumb|John Jacob Ellers]], and his Warlock companion, [[Chew Toy|Voliostromort Guy]], as they seek out a Black Dragon. They need the dragon's head so that Ellers can [[Only the Worthy May Pass|prove his worth]] to the other Paladins so he can drink with them in their tavern (really [[Snipe Hunt|it's just so they can get rid of him]]). Guy is forced along because the Paladins threaten to arrest him for his use of demonic magic. They are joined on their quest by [[Only Sane Man|Hana]], a night elf Druid, and his human lover [[The Berserker|Kit]], who also want a black dragon to [[Love Potion|create an aphrodisiac.]]

 

 

On the other side of things, there are the antagonists, led by [[Card-Carrying Villain|the undead Warlock Dirim]]. His followers include his blood elf "girlfriend" and [[Valley Girl]] [[Dumb Blonde|Stephie Ilumvari]], the orc Warrior Orgrath Axeblade, the tauren Shaman Hawkwynd Bighooves, and [[Beware the Quiet Ones|the troll Rogue Jin'zul]].

* [[Embarrassing First Name]]: Voliostromort is quite an unusual name for a human, so it's small wonder why Guy prefers to go by his last name. Though it sounds [[Awesome McCoolname|kinda cool for a warlock.]]

* [[Expy]]: The Alliance gang meets two old colleagues of Hana's, who sound an awful lot like [[The Venture Bros|Henchmen 21 and 24]]

* [[Fake Shemp]]: Kam Uraki (Guy) was a stand-in for Deuce (normally voiced by Ian Boyle) in episode 7. This resulted in a bit of [[Talking to Yourself]] when the two enter the inn discussing the band ''Rush''.

* [[Female Gaze]]: After a series of mishaps leave Guy in the body of a Forsaken, they head to Gadgetzan to fix him. The machine (which he has to be naked to use) initially turns him into a tauren...

** For that matter, neither is Ellers.

*** Or [[Stupid Good|James...]]

* [[Male Gaze]]: When the gang is wandering through the [[Thirsty Desert|Shimmering Flats]] on their way to Gadgetzan, they, understandably, travel with very little clothing. [[Chivalrous Pervert|Goliath]] can't help but stare at Kit and and Flayme. His wife was not amused.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Flayme is Hana's... [[Incredibly Lame Pun|old flame!]]

* [[Queer People Are Funny]]: The series parodies this trope with the crew of ''The Butt Pirate'' (there was a miscommunication with the painters). Except for one off-screen [[Butch Lesbian]] (and possibly the captain), most of the crew is [[Camp Gay]].

{{quote| '''[[Punny Name|Captain Buck F. Pirate]]''': ''You'' try getting a better crew with a ship named ''The Butt Pirate!''}}

* [[Running Gag]]: "So wait, [Ellers] joined a celibate order... [[Casanova Wannabe|to get chicks?]]"

* [[Shapeshifter Mode Lock]]: Hana's specialty is "natural magic and healing" and so isn't very good at shapeshifting. He can get into cat form okay, but needs the help of an Archdruid to get out of it. {{spoiler|At least until the Archdruid gives him a ring that lets him shift at will.}}

** "[[Harvey Birdman Attorney At Law|Ha HA! Random Stephen Colbert tribute!]]"

* [[Transformation Sequence]]: Kit gets one in Warsong Gulch. Guy and Ellers of course have to [[Lampshade]] it:

'''Ellers''': Heh, she just went [[Dragonball Z|Super Saiyan]]! }}

* [[Wretched Hive]]: Hana quotes the [[Star Wars]] line (almost) word-for-word when they reach Gadgetzan. When everyone just stares at him, he says "What? [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|Can't I have a funny line now and then?]]"
