Jokes

This is a list of voice emote jokes for each race and each gender. Because of the way player characters work, these lines are accessed via the  slash command.

These jokes are partially a descendant of "repeated click" responses from the real time strategy (RTS) games, wherein you could repeatedly click on a unit and it would begin saying strange things after a few clicks. You can still get "irritation responses" from NPCs in World of Warcraft by repeatedly clicking on them.

Unlike any other class in the game, demon hunters have entirely new voice acting unique to their class. This includes the /silly emotes, which will also be listed in its own section.

They form the Brotherhood of the Bracelet. Along the way they're trailed by a murloc named Gottom, who's obsessed with the bracelet, and nine bracelet bogeymen. It could be a three-parter, called 'Ruler of the Bracelet'. The first part would be called 'The Brotherhood of the Bracelet', followed by 'A Couple of Towers', with the climactic ending called 'Hey, the King's Back!'"
