In the French version of SC2, the Terran Ghost can say "This cloud won't stop at the border." It is a reference to the Chernobyl incident, when the French governement assured that the cloud stoped at the border. Instead of beign Scottish, the French Hercules is French Canadian (Quebec).
I was about to mention the French Hercules voice lol I have to say, I think the French version does a great job at translating most of the quirks and puns of the units
But, man, the best one is the Thor... A huge massive hulking artilery platform and the pilot says... "Quiet! I'm trying to sneak up on them!" like he were a freaking infiltrator :D
The 'free zerg' line is also a reference to Free-bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd, specifically to how fans (particularly in the south) would enthusiastically request the song even in shows and venues that had nothing to do with Lynyrd Skynyrd.
There was a Diamondback quote from WoL, I remember it from the Great Train Robbery mission. "Not all who wander are lost...some of them are drunk." First half at least is a line from the Riddle of Strider, see Tolkien's LotR.
Ron Popeil was an inventor who used the phrase "But wait, there's more!" when advertising his products. I learnt this after watching Transformers Animated where the character Swindle used the same line, and his overall mannerisms as a businessman (albiet a shady one) were based off of Ron.
1:29 YOU TAKE THAT BACK IMMEDIATELY the ghost quote where he says "I know what you're thinking" could also be a double-reference since ghosts are meant to be telepathic (like how human kerrigan says "thinking the same thing" back in sc1)
I'd love it if you covered the easter eggs in the SCII campaigns. Some of them are more or less easy to find like the toilet on the terran campaign. Others require you not to touch anything at the start of a mission etc. I'd really be interested in a vid that covers em.
Also unused triggers inside the editor would be very interesting to hear about. I heard there is a lot of stuff that was changed/removed. Like Dony Vermilion being a robot. SC2 editor is too complicated for me to check by myself.
"They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind" is a callback to Hosea made by Sir Arthur "Bomber" Harris about the WW2 Luftwaffe bombing of England and the retaliation he would oversee as a RAF commander. This is a bit more fitting a reference given ghosts' ability to bomb opposition.
Most marines are brainwashed criminals as well. Considering that ghosts are products of brutal training and testing and spectre's seem to be psychopaths, I wouldn't be surprised if alot of the Terran military is just individuals coerced in one way other another to fight
There are a additional unused voicelines in the game. Some of them are for when infantry units enter and exit bunkers. Others are responses for insufficient energy. There also some lines for abilities that were scrapped or not given to the unit in question such as a raven line for building mine drones (or just placing spider mines, the file name contains spider mine) and a vulture line for cloaking. The vulture also has an insufficient energy line. Interestingly, there is a full set of unused cyclone voicelines from a different voice actor. Unlike other sets which feature a basic subset of lines for when it is mind controlled by infestors, this unit's neural parasite voicelines show that the vehicle is controlled but not the driver. The corsair also has a separate set of voicelines but with different effects for the voices.
Holy moly, I gotta hear those unused Cyclone voicelines. It originally was a remote automated vehicle right, rather than a piloted one? And yeah, the Corsair had no unit or portrait in Wings of Liberty but it did have a full set of voicelines for some reason, and then for some other godforsaken reason those voicelines remained unused when the Corsair was finally added in Legacy of the Void.
Great video as usual. That battlecruiser line about olives may be a reference to Futurama where Morgan yells at Leela for not having a full compliment of olives on the ship.
Holy crap that's such an obscure catch. I'm not sure the writers were thinking of Futurama when they wrote that line, but if so, what a cool reference.
"That Voodoo that I do," is more likely a reference to "You Do Something to Me" by Frank Sinatra, containing the lyrics "That voodoo that you do so well," though for many people it's better known as being from Blazing Saddles.
You seem to have missed a reference from a female ghost. The line "It's E.M.P *sigh* What kind of idiot calls it an EMP?" is a reference to a web series called Red VS Blue. Other than that, thanks for another great video Abelhawk! It really shows that you care about StarCraft more than Blizzard, considering that they did not even feature it in the promo art of this year's Blizzcon and there seems to be no new announcements for the series...
RvB really needs more referential love... although I'm curious as to why Seasons 6 onwards appear to have been delisted from the Rooster Teeth channels on RUclips. Guess they've gotten scared of the SC1 fanatics who abhor the changes of SC2. Not unlike how 343 Industries succumbed on Halo: Infinite after the Halo 5: Guardians debacle.
@@michaelandreipalon359 From what I've seen, they've been stitched together into movies on Rooster Teeth Animation, but some of them seem to be missing. Like season 6 or season 13 part 1. But the rest seems to be there.
For the tychus quote, "when in doubt, empty your magazine", could be a reference to the HBO Rome series when during the battle of phillipi episode, Mark Antony, who can't see the battle and tell who is winning, says "when in doubt, attack!"
Not a quote but the Liberators weapons, the Lexington Rockets and Concord Cannon, are references to the opening battles of the American Revolutionary War. Also, the Battlecruiser says "Take it slow" which I would interpret as a reference to Captain Picard's "Make it so".
Unleash the hounds dates way back through English and Roman wars where they had to time the wardogs hitting the enemies legs at the same time the slower infantry hit them. The dogs were held a few ranks back and a commander would time everything slamming in at once, the dogs running fast up through the ranks to the front line.
Thank you for putting this together. I enjoyed your Starcraft 1 quotes and references videos and really wanted a SC II version. I'd like to see more!~ 😇
It was only through this video that I noticed the Raven's controller's HILARIOUS reaction to his vessel getting blown up. I laughed so hard I had to rewind it to hear what was said for those few seconds.
Robin Atkin Downes as the TF2 medic really makes it for me once you know his other works and projects hes voiced like the medic from TF2 and Miller from Metal Gear.
Russian version of battlecruiser says "А помнишь как раньше было? Батлкрузер оперейшнал". It translates as Do you remember how it used to be? Battlecruiser operational.
You mentioned not being sure what Meatloaf's bat outta hell has to do with motorcycle culture for the Vulture - the cover of Bat Out of Hell (or maybe Bat Out of Hell 2: Back Into Hell?) is just a guy on a motorcycle going through the air against a hellish bat over a pit to hell. The music videos are also big on motorcycles. If you say "Meatloaf," I think most people imagine a badass motorcyclist leaping into hell =]
Did you know tv shows change after media blitz? Kate starts showing the mengsk Ill burn everything speech quote, asks valeran about corruption instead of gf status and the shows get shut down half of the time
Soo many thanks for making this video! I recall spending much time listening to all the hidden phrases of the SC/WC characters. One of my fav was the terran science vessel - What? Who set all these lab monkeys free?
1:28: I don't know, in a retro standpoint, it has left a memorable charm akin to the early Toy Story films, ReBoot, and Beast Wars: Transformers. 10:07: Gonna laugh at this though. Great movie Jerry Maguire may be, The LEGO Batman Movie sure has changed how we view that quote. 15:28: Apologies to the French! 23:09: Now that I think about it, the concept is not that far fetched when you think of Star Wars' astromech droids helping out in flying X- and Y-Wings via maintaining repairs, calculating flight vectors, and warning against the enemy. 23:58: At least it's not that memetic lie this time. Won't lie, though SC2 has a bigger referential treasure trove compared to StarCraft I and Warcraft III, it also somehow feels dry and unexciting enough to not feel entertainingly giddy on our expectant reactions. Cases in point, the repeating of certain quotes by units not even themed from them and, by gar, the ones that HAD to explain jokes can be jarring. Regardless, would love to see the Protoss and Zerg takes on these.
I love how Egon’s voice actor, Scott Menville, is often voiced for other “nerd” roles in tv or video games. Prime examples include Robin in Teen Titans, and Marlton in CoD Zombies
Whoa, I didn't think this video would ever release! Feels like a miracle that I'm watching this. Also holy crap, I didn't know there was a Futurama reference in StarCraft 2. Best game ever, 10/10!
About Tychus' "when in doubt, empty your magazine" - I think it's a paraphrase of a quote from the rally driver GOAT - Colin McRae - "when in doubt, flat out", which meant that if you can't see the road and have any doubts, the best option is to "flat out", which may partially explain Tychus' behavior in some cases...
Very cool, happy you're doing this series as Starcraft is my childhood (and life, in general). I may not like SC2 quite as much as Brood War but it's still a great game with lots to love IMO. By the way, are there possibly any references from the Terran campaign that weren't included in this video? I'd love to see a followup eventually where you cover any references or allusions from the 3 campaigns (and Nova Covert Ops, if applicable)
26:51 in the Russian dub, it was turned into a reference to the original "Battlecruiser operational" voice line, with the English (but accented) pronunciation and all.
Hey! great video. Huge SC fan over here 3> , Just a little tip if you want it for future videos: It sounds like the audio channel from your mic during narration is clipping (the popping sounds), try turning the gain down, and then adjust the volume as needed afterwards in your software.
Regarding the Viking mispronouncing Baleog's name, it would seem that Blizzard does intend for it to be pronounced as "Bale-Og". The character himself pronounces it that way in Heroes of the Storm.
Tychus also has another Pulp Fiction reference in the campaign. After the Tyrador mission when Jim tells him to keep thinking about the money Tychus responds "I'm tryin' old budy, Im tryin' real hard...", which references to Pulp Fiction's scene where Samuel Jackson says "But I'm tryin', Ringo, I'm tryin' real hard... to be the shepherd".
Gotta point out how the Viking has another reference, and a pretty on-the-nose one, at that: "No one lives forever", referencing the cult classic spy-themed videogame of the same name.
I wonder if there's a movie where someone shouts out "Hey, I wanna hear some Free Bird!" (referencing the Lynyrd Skynyrd song,) to put layers on that quote Possible Clint Eastwood reference with "I'll paint the town... dead" from High Plains Drifter. I haven't seen it, but, a major plot point is that they are going to paint the town red and call it Hell. Possibility that Goliath's "Checklist approved... SOB" is actually SOP, standard operating procedure
in russian localization, battlecruiser have a line "alright. battlecruiser operational!" he spokes everything in russian (ну ладно. Баттлкрузер оперэйшонал!) except "battlecruiser operational!" being spoken on english as a reference to original StarCraft 1 battlecruiser voice lines, which didnt have official russian voiceover til sc remastered release.
I loved it when the Liberator said "its liberating time" and liberated all over the place.
In the French version of SC2, the Terran Ghost can say "This cloud won't stop at the border." It is a reference to the Chernobyl incident, when the French governement assured that the cloud stoped at the border.

Chornobyl for me. Still, this sure is one good piece of Woolseyism.

Je n'ai jamais joué à la version française. Mais au moins le Québec a un peu de représentation internationale 😊
Dam bro
But, man, the best one is the Thor... A huge massive hulking artilery platform and the pilot says... "Quiet! I'm trying to sneak up on them!" like he were a freaking infiltrator :D
In battletech, the thor wouldnt look out of place in a Stiener "scout" squad.
That's actually might be a reference to Elmer Fudd.

I think the biggest refrence he got is the appearance, he looks like Lemmy from Motorhead.

The 'free zerg' line is also a reference to Free-bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd, specifically to how fans (particularly in the south) would enthusiastically request the song even in shows and venues that had nothing to do with Lynyrd Skynyrd.
The Bat out of Hell reference from the vulture is referencing the album cover for bat out of hell, whoch features a demon writing a motorcycle
Nice catch! I wish I would've looked at that.
There was a Diamondback quote from WoL, I remember it from the Great Train Robbery mission. "Not all who wander are lost...some of them are drunk."
First half at least is a line from the Riddle of Strider, see Tolkien's LotR.

Ron Popeil was an inventor who used the phrase "But wait, there's more!" when advertising his products. I learnt this after watching Transformers Animated where the character Swindle used the same line, and his overall mannerisms as a businessman (albiet a shady one) were based off of Ron.
Nice to see the show get a mention.
Its also used by the salesman Stan in the Monkey Island games too
1:29 YOU TAKE THAT BACK IMMEDIATELY
the ghost quote where he says "I know what you're thinking" could also be a double-reference since ghosts are meant to be telepathic (like how human kerrigan says "thinking the same thing" back in sc1)
I'd love it if you covered the easter eggs in the SCII campaigns. Some of them are more or less easy to find like the toilet on the terran campaign. Others require you not to touch anything at the start of a mission etc. I'd really be interested in a vid that covers em.
Also unused triggers inside the editor would be very interesting to hear about. I heard there is a lot of stuff that was changed/removed.
Like Dony Vermilion being a robot.
SC2 editor is too complicated for me to check by myself.
20:55 nah man, even in heroes of the storm; all of the lost vikings pronounce his name "Baelog" including himself.
So weird. It's not a compound word of Bale and Og. It's Baleog.
"They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind" is a callback to Hosea made by Sir Arthur "Bomber" Harris about the WW2 Luftwaffe bombing of England and the retaliation he would oversee as a RAF commander.
This is a bit more fitting a reference given ghosts' ability to bomb opposition.
6:32 This quote is actually quite fitting with the character of the Reapers, as nearly all of them are criminals too psychopathic to resocialize.
Most marines are brainwashed criminals as well. Considering that ghosts are products of brutal training and testing and spectre's seem to be psychopaths, I wouldn't be surprised if alot of the Terran military is just individuals coerced in one way other another to fight

Glad you decided to add your voice for explanations, I really missed that in the bits uploaded before this compilation.

The Vulture references Bat Out of Hell because the cover of the album, Bat Out of Hell, features a motorcycle.

"You can't fix stupid" in Russian localization sounds very characteristic for Tychus

That's why he's never let into TV studios!
Tbf, when blizzard did start giving hero units silly quotes, they had Thrall say "Too much head, not enough shaft" in shadowlands, soooooo
Warcraft III had plenty of silly quotes for Heroes.

I was waiting for this for so long. Great video
The iconic phrase "but wait there's more" was popularised by an Australian TV marketeer. Probably why you cannot find anything.
Great to see all the quotes in one place! Also are you going to do Starcraft 2 cheat enabled? It feels weird that you have Starcraft 1 but not 2
Eventually.
I've never actually looked at the StarCraft 2 cheat codes before. Definitely some references in them! I'll have to make that sometime.

Such is the nuance of voice acting.

Diamondbacks quote "Unleash the hounds" could be very convoluted David Bowie Diamond Dogs reference.
Omg I never realized Stetmann looked like the ghostbusters guy but now I see it lol
He looks more like Napoleon Dynamite to me. The eyes and mouth.
The cutscenes from SC 1 aged like fine wine. Not for the daily consumer, but the more distinguished ones know how to enjoy it.
I love how they often fuck the quotes up, its soo human.
Alas! Been waiting for this vid from you for years!
YES!! LETS GO. So happy you made this, and cant wait for the other races
"But wait, there's more!" could be referring to "Scary Movie", That exact phrase was present there.

The "but wait there's more" is actually from Ron Popeil. Everyone thought Billy Mays said it (me included) but it turns out it was Ron all along.
I want to hear some Free Zerg is a reference to the stereotype of people in the south saying "I wanna hear some Free Bird".
24:44 She's basically a bit like a flying Paladin Tank from Generals. On that note
Preserving Freedom. It will be good for morale.
26:08 "It's a trap!" My favourite line.
Didn't notice until now, but the banshee pilot is stacked af.
26:51 in the Russian dub, it was turned into a reference to the original "Battlecruiser operational" voice line, with the English (but accented) pronunciation and all.
4:44 "The doctor is in" I could of sworn there was a Sealab 2021 reference with Dr. Quinn was getting it on with Bizarro Debbie.
2:41 Thank you, Hot Rod!
1:34 I would've thought it was a parody on Free Bird as well
But Free Bird was already there
AND THIS BIRD YOU CAN NOT CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGE
Not sure, but Battlecruiser phrase about being out of olives may be a Futurama reference.
Good point there.
He reminds me specifically of Captain Henry Gloval, from Robotech (Generation 1, Macross)

Man, I had no idea that twice as bright candle quote was in Blade Runner. I would've never guessed that's how it became popular.
I never realized how much the Thor portrait channels Lemmy Kilmister (RIP \m/)...
The Thor/Conan quote about “what is best” is a quote often attributed to Genghis Khan btw
Good job - had to take a while to research ;)
The Ghost line about "Calling down the Thunder" is a pretty close scan of one of Kurt Russel's lines from "Tombstone" (the train station scene).
You forgot the Reaper's "Whole Lotta Pain"
I've got a fever, and the only cure is more cowbell.
I wonder if there's a movie where someone shouts out "Hey, I wanna hear some Free Bird!" (referencing the Lynyrd Skynyrd song,) to put layers on that quote
Possible Clint Eastwood reference with "I'll paint the town... dead" from High Plains Drifter. I haven't seen it, but, a major plot point is that they are going to paint the town red and call it Hell.
Possibility that Goliath's "Checklist approved... SOB" is actually SOP, standard operating procedure
