C'est ci bon: Van Damme's French WoW TV commercial
9:49 AM on 12.08.2007, Dale North 24 comments

     slow news day

 

I have no idea what is being said in this French World of Warcraft commercial, but I do know that it stars famed film star Jean-Claude Van Damme. How ironic is it that the same guy that once asked "Aren't you a little old for videogames?" is now selling the most popular PC videogame?

These look to be made in the same format as the US commercials, although they do say "Warcraft" kind of funny.

Nice touch in having him mix up French and English words all the time. He also usually talks about philosophical stuff that no-one can follow, when he's not distracted by a girl..

All that matters is "Je suis Jean-Claude van Damme, je suis mage!" of course. That and Bloodsport is fantastic!

The only sad part of this series of commercials so far is that Mr. T was alliance and not horde.

William Shatner should have been a human paladin.

Once again, I'm pretty sure this video is blocked by the Firefox add-on, Adblock.

C'est "si" bon. "Ci" is generally used to denote a particular item, as in "celle-ci", "this one here", while "si" the equivalent of "a lot".

I'm glad I'm not the only person that thinks that.

I don't doubt Van Damme's desire to transform his enemies into OHHHH so soft an cuddly a farm animal. I'm sure it's probably much easier on his acting ability. I'm just wondering where he gets the time to play an MMOG when he has M.Bison to save us from dammit!

William Shatner is a shaman because he's OP, just like a shaman.
