Wizard Of Wor, Love of Laughter Of


Wizard of Wor

Wizard of Wor was an incredibly fun two-player game from the early 80s in which you control a “worrior” around a mazey dungeon and blast various monsters until you get to dispatch the titular wizard. It was also one of the first memorable arcade games with speech (such as it was — it wasn’t the clearest thing around). The Wizard of Wor may have been a evil magic-using badass but you can’t deny the man loved to laugh. Well over half the speech samples in the game include laughing:

  • I’m out of spite, ha ha ha ha!
  • Ah good! My pets were getting hungry. Ha ha ha ha!
  • My worlings are very very hungry. Ha ha ha ha!
  • So you’ve come to score in the world of Wor. Ha ha ha ha!
  • One bite from my pretties, and you’ll explode, ha ha ha ha!
  • If you can’t beat the rest, then you’ll never get the best! Ha ha ha ha!
  • You’ll never leave Wor alive! Ha ha ha ha!
  • If you destroy my babies, I’ll pop you in the oven! Ha ha ha ha!
  • Burwor hasn’t eaten anyone in months. Ha ha ha ha!
  • You’ll get …The Arena! Ha ha ha ha!
  • Worrior fear, I draw near, each time I appear. Ha ha ha ha!
  • You won’t have a chance for your dance worrior. Ha ha ha ha!
  • Now you get the heavyweights! Ha ha ha ha!
  • If you try any harder, you’ll only meet with doom, ha ha ha ha!
  • If you get too powerful, I’ll take care of you myself, ha ha ha ha!
  • Your bones will lie in the dungeons of Wor, ha ha ha ha!
  • Garwor and Thorwor, become, invisible! Ha ha ha ha!
  • You’ve just been fried by the Wizard of Wor! Ha ha ha ha!
  • Bite the bolt worrior. Ha ha ha ha!
  • Wasn’t that lightning bolt delicious? Ha ha ha ha!
  • And my teleporting spell can be even faster! Ha ha ha ha!
  • Your explosion was music to my ears! Ha ha ha ha!
  • I’ll say it again, worrior fear, I draw near, each time I appear. Ha ha ha ha!
  • Your path leads directly to The Pit! Ha ha ha ha!
  • Thor Bur Gar! Dinner’s ready! Ha ha ha ha!
  • Hey! Your space boot’s untied! Ha ha ha ha!
  • My beasts run wild in the Worlord dungeons. Ha ha ha ha!
  • Now your only chance is your dance! Ha ha ha ha!
  • Are you fit, to survive The Pit? Ha ha ha ha!
  • Oops! I must have forgotten the walls! Ha ha ha ha!
  • Worlord, where are you going to hide now? Ha ha ha ha!
  • Come back for more with the Wizard of Wor. Ha ha ha ha!
  • You can start anew, but for now you’re through. Ha ha ha ha!
  • He he he ho ho ho ha ha ha! That was fun!

Yet he never learned to LOVE.
