Info

The winner of the 2005 WoW Video contest held by Blizzard. It features a lot of WoW humor and a LOT of recompositing & video editing.

The name Illegal Danish is a reference to Forbidden Donut, an Alliance guild on the Mannoroth US server where the footage was filmed. The song MC Raiders plays during the credits.

Plot

An unsuccessful diabolical genius, High Warlord Van Kraken had to quit his job as a mechanic since no one was buying his gadgets. He now sells potions in competition with another alchemist. He has invented a formula for a new elixir which would sell for large amounts of gold, and has all but one critical ingredient, the Illegal Danish, a pastry held as a treasure by the guild which is named after it. Van Kraken creates a robot that looks like an Illegal Danish member, Floivan. Illegal Danish holds a Guild Meeting in Ironforge to discuss portal malfunctions. Thus, a video is shown to tell the members about alternatives which then turns into Higgins and Brother Munson's video at Southshore Beach. The guild then sees Floivan and almost chases him down. He then steals a tank and runs over Dirti, an annoying gnome rogue asking people to "join his guild". After some mishaps, they end up in Stranglethorn Vale. Meanwhile Rasi and Basutei are told by the guild master to head to Astanaar to check out the spell disruptions. On the way, Basutei complains that a "feral" druid shouldn't be wearing healing pants. Basutei proceeds to flirt with Rasi at this time, at one point even attempting to persuade her to have sex with him. Meanwhile, Floivan and Dirti try to get to Ironforge. Rasi and Basutei arrive at Astranaar only to Find a Snacky Machine, which Basutei breaks open to "Fullfill the Prophcey". Later they arrive to find Robot Floivan stealing the Danish. A battle ensues, Kiljoy joins the fray by jumping at the robot and yelling "Arcanite Reaper, HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!", only to be blown up for moving in slow motion when everything else was normal. Basutei is then attached to Robo Floivan's magnet and launched into Club Thrall, Orgimmar.
