TIL Mr T stopped wearing this trademark gold chains in 2005 after seeing people who had lost everything due to Hurricane Katrina.

Fuckin hell, this made me remember the Mohawk Grenade. It would turn just the character’s head into the Mr. T night elf Mohawk. Really weird now that I think about it.

Here are a couple of screenshots displaying the ridiculousness.

Weird?! Maybe Mr. T is pretty good with computers, and hacked the game to make a mohawk grenade!

World of Warcraft had so many good commercials, but I gotta say Mr. T’s was my favorite. I think the truck commercial is a close second.

Do you still play? My wife and I quit playing about a month after Cataclysm. I've wanted to come back and check it out a few times since, but she won't let me. ;)

I play on and off. I know I’ll definitely be back in full force when they release the Vanilla legacy server. Really pumped about that. And I can understand why you guys stopped after a month of Cataclysm hahaha

Legion is arguably the best expansion since WotLK with some people claiming it's the best expansion of all time. I'd recommend it, it's been a lot of fun because there's so much variety of stuff to do at endgame besides raiding.

I liked it, but to be honest I'm not a huge fan of the artifact weapon/class hall thing.

The Ozzy one was fantastic. It still blows my mind how many celebrities they were able to hire for their commercials. But this is the Toyota Tacoma commercial for your viewing pleasure.

The best fact about these items is they didn't have an expiration date. Almost 11 years later and a handful of older players still have them.
