Irony has a new name: World of Warcraft soap

World of Warcraft soap

Irony doesn’t get much sweeter than this - World of Warcraft soap. Is it the most redundant item in the history of mankind, or the most earth shatteringly brilliant ploy to get WoW addicts to bathe? Either way you can purchase them on Etsy for $14.87 which entitles you to two soaps from a wide range of fragrances.

    Yet another internet user who doesn’t understand “irony”

  2. Doublenigger Says:

    That is not ironic, and you are an idiot.

  3. Lessofanigger Says:

    Soap for people who don’t bathe? That IS ironic. You’re the idiot.

  4. Adam Says:

    Thats the thing thats stupid though, WoW players do bath, even if its not as much as normal people.

  5. TheGabe Says:

    I gave a thumbs-down because of the “hello stumblers” part.
    Anyway That is fairly ironic though, but damn expensive.

    I don’t think you know what ironic or redundant mean.

  7. SoupEater Says:

    I’ll take 12!

    Andrew used both irony and redundant incorrectly in this post - thanks to everyone who pointed that out. I should have caught it in editing, but it’s less of an issue now that Andrew is no longer writing for the site.

    The funny thing is how much traffic this post is generating - and the amount of nerves it seems to be hitting. Toughen up people - there’s a social stigma attached to every facet of gaming culture, and rarely are they accurate.

    Because obviously they had a nerve struck to correct someone on not knowing how to use a word while mudslinging RIGHT? oh hey no you’re not damn that sucks.

    Thanx For sharing such a beautiful resource. I really appreciate it..

  11. Tim Hanlon Says:

    @Walrus - No, when I reference the struck nerves, I’m not talking of those who corrected Andrew’s English - notice the two different paragraphs. Go check some of the comments on StumbleUpon :)

  12. Keiha Says:

    Idiots, it’s VERY ironic that NERDS USE SOAP.

    It’s not TRUE, but it’s obviously a stereotype, so yes… yes it’s fair to say that World of Warcraft soap is swimming in irony.

    God damn.

  13. you retard Says:

    how the hell is it fair to say that something’s ironic, just because its steriotypical? i think someone needs to open a dictionary….
    if you know what dictionary means of course…

  14. FacePalm Says:

    *sigh*…

    you retard, and I mean that as your name and your title, it is not the stereotype that is ironic, but rather the fact that according to the stereotype, WoW players do not bathe. The irony is that they are marketing soap to a target that does not use soap.

    Oh, and dictionaries can be used to spell, too, so why don’t you take a little of your own advice, hmm?

    I hate websites that suggest visitors to give a Thumb up.

    Thumb down from me.

  16. lolCakes Says:

    Scrub up? ;)

  17. asdf Says:

    Lol, brb, gotta hearth back to Squeaky clean so I can get my mount. ;p

  18. Uisgea Says:

    Yes, it IS irony.

    One thumb down for the know-it-alls who don’t, and another for the thumbs-up request.

    It’s mildly ironic–not really funny or interesting in my book.

  19. GG Says:

    Whether or not its ironic, one thing it sure as hell isn’t: redundant. Explain that one!

  20. Chomptastic Says:

    Ironic maybe. But would you get the same response if it was shaped like a KFC bucket and you replace “WoW player” with “nigger”?

  21. HOLY WOW Says:

    Redundant means to be “in excess” if someone doesn’t use or buy any soap then that person being marketed or owning soap would be redundant. If someone doesn’t bathe then soap is redundant, even one bar.

    Only people bitching are butthurt people who feel offended by WOW jokes. Some even comparing it to racist jokes.

    Get a life people.
