WoW Moviewatch & World Wide WoW: Azeroth Movie Top 3
You already know that World of Warcraft is a global phenomenon, but did you know that machinima is international too? This show is by AFK Pl@ayers, a group of Taiwanese machinima makers who have done some quality work and earned an exalted reputation in Taiwan. It pokes fun at those "best movie of the week" countdowns that you sometimes see on entertainment shows with a hip young host getting excited and showing you the latest trailers. Most of it is in Chinese with English subtitles, but you'll be happy to see that one of the movies they show a trailer for is actually in English!
Personally, I think this is classic, but I hope you all don't mind subtitles too much. English-speakers are truly lucky to have so much great media produced in our own language, whereas other countries are used to watching dubbed or subtitled Hollywood films all the time. You may not be able to understand Chinese, but I think you may get a sense of their emotions from the tones of voice they use when they talk -- their Chinese voice acting is excellent, and their little bit of English acting is quite good too, considering it's their second language!

Subtitles are no big thing. They're easy to get used to.

That is quality.
And it might be even funnier in Mandarin than it would be in English.

I've seen this before, and although the whole thing is awesome, that Murkilla section is pure, unadulterated genius. So well done! Love, love, love it!

I've seen this before as well, but it's still very, very, very good. I'd forgotten about it too. Very well edited on the last one.

That was all kinds of awesome. I also found another video by the same people, called Thrall's Christmas Tree:

The parody 'Nerf Actually' is a play-on-words off of 'Love Actually', a very popular (and quite good) musical-drama from Hong Kong.
Just in case some of you didn't know. There's a subtitled version out there.
