Jokes

This is a list of voiceemotejokes for each race and each gender. Because of the wayplayer characters work, these lines are accessed via the/sillyslash command.

These jokes are partially a descendant of "repeated click" responses from thereal time strategy (RTS) games, wherein you could repeatedly click on a unit and it would begin saying strange things after a few clicks. You can still get "irritation responses" from NPCs inWorld of Warcraft by repeatedly clicking on them.

Unlike any other class in the game,demon hunters have entirely new voice acting unique to their class. This includes the /silly emotes, which will also be listed in its own section.
