Fuck, what's next, no Santa? Not really sarcasm, did not know that

it was basically satire of guilds that at the time took raids in WoW WAY too seriously. the tip off the creators of the video felt would be obvious was "Abduls number crunch" which was clearly bullshit. The thing is the video that was released was only a "practice run" for the actual video they wanted to release thus the blooper "stick the the pleen" but it was so good they just decided to release it anyways.

Yeah that sailed right over my head. Never got into WoW, and knowing there are 40+ player raids, the planning seemed like it was probably normal. Just no frame of context. Only knew enough to get the joke, but not enough to know it was one

iirc it did really happen but nobody was recording at the time, so they re-enacted it, giving us the famous video.

Oof, looks like it wasn't even re-enactment.

In December 2017, Schulz, along with Ben "Anfrony" Vinson, who recorded the video, released what he described as a first take or dry run of the video. Vinson stated, "We didn't think anyone would believe it was real, we thought it was so obviously satire."

Man, fuck me I guess lol

Oh okay, at least it actually happened in some capacity. Re-enactment for the vid isn't that bad. I'll research to confirm, thanks!
