WoW Moviewatch: Who's the tank?

By Michael Gray

One of the most iconic comedy routines of all time is Who's on first? by Abbott and Costello. It was a groundbreaking performance that would provide a fast-paced, dialogue-driven comedy style for decades. BroncoTV's Who's the tank? clearly draws inspiration from Abbott and Costello's original writing. That being said, I think the creators have written enough WoW humor into it to make their version original and fun. It's been a while since we've looked at this video, so I thought now would be a good time to revisit it.

I especially enjoy that the night elf and dwarf refer to specific classes, class abilities and dungeon roles. This really sets Who's the tank? apart, since this really makes me think BroncoTV spent a lot of time working on the dialogue. Anyone could have simply subbed out specific phrases to make the routine a WoW version, but BroncoTV put the effort into making the routine a little new.
