Jean-Claude Van Damme Is A Mage, What's Verne Troyer?
SoapMacTavish \| 5:03 PM on 12.07.2007	8 comments

As I had stated earlier in a recent post, it was reported that Jean Claude Van Damme would be appearing in another round of the World of Warcraft advertisement campaign, "What's your game?" I speculated that he would go the stealthy ninja like route and be a rogue. Boy was I wrong.

I never saw him being a troll mage but apparently, "Hand-to-hand combat for me: it's over!" Here is the full transcription of his commercial.

"My name is Jean-Claude Van Damme... and I am a mage."

"Hand-to-hand combat for me: it's over!"

"Now I can cast powerful spells!"

"Just try messing with me... I'll turn you into a sheep."

"A sheep!"

"...Because we all are a bit like sheep, you know..."

"I am Jean-Claude Van Damme, I am a mage."

"And you?"

"What's your game?"

And the next celebrity, as the title says, will be "Mini-Me" himself, Verne Troyer. If they cast him as anything else but a gnome I'll be disappointed.

I'm surprised, they managed to keep Van Damme's cocaine away from him long enough to do this commercial.

Verne Troyer photoshop is win.

I wonder what trash can they found Van Damme in.
