Comander Schnottz yells "NINE! NINE! NINE! NINE! NINE!" when gobbles dies. An obvious reference to Inglorious basterds with hitler yelling "NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN!"

edit: misspelling

Comment by feenox

Gobbles, the level 83 turkey is a reference to Joesph Goebbels, the Reich Minister of Propaganda under Hitler in WWII. Oh blizzard, you love your nazi humor.

Very important, if you happen to abandon this quest, you may get bugged, you will not be able to see NPCs, Mobs, Players and etc.

To fix it, you simply have to kill yourself, if it does't work, keep trying, or go to a Instance, such as Zul'Farrak.

Comment by Aestu

The English word, "nine", meaning (9), is a homophone of the German word, "nein", meaning "no".

"Gobbels" is clearly a reference to Joesph Goebbels, a prominent member of the inner circle of "Der Fuhrer".

Comment by Drazex

The quest is a reference to it, however the turkey was a reference to Timmy from south parks favorite turkey, Gobbles!

Oooooooo well played. Anyone else think Schnottz sounds like Boris from Rocky and Bullwinkle? Better yet, is there anyone out there as old as me that remembers Rocky and Bullwinkle?

Comment by Teddiursa

Great reference, hilarious.

Comment by Baldmurder

It's over nein thousand!

Comment by bigblubafoon

Also a smaller reference might be Timmy's pet turkey Gobbles from South Park.

Comment by Uinri

Apart from the fact that gobbles is a phrase commonly associated with Turkeys. You'll find that South Park rarely comes up with their own jokes; they are usually referring to something else younger and dumber audiences have not seen.

Comment by Alreadytaken

Yeah I really don't see how it can not be.

Boris Badenov; Natasha Fatale. ( sic Boris Badenough, Natasha Femme Fatale)

And for the record, I am APPALLED at the sleight-handed reference to genocide. Killing slave laborers after cooking Goebbels? For shame.

From the beginning of his tenure, Goebbels organized attacks on German Jews. His attacks on the Jewish population culminated in the Kristallnacht assault of 1938, in which scores of synagogues were burned and hundreds of Jews were assaulted and murdered.

What an amusing fellow - let's have more parodies of him in games..

Comment by Aiyame

Ok, I know this is all Nazi and Indiana Jones refs, but I nearly died laughing during this quest since I see "Gobbles!" and hear Timmy from South Park's voice in my head.

Comment by Thorgalson

I also believe (seeing as how we got here from Indiana Jones) that it is a slight reference to the game "Indiana Jones ant the fate of Atlantis". At the end, a crazy scientist asks you how many orichalum beads he has to use for his "transformation" into a living god. Needless to say, you have to give the wrong number, and he gets transformed into something unpleasant. Which is indeed not the tranformation he had hoped for. Which is the end text of this quest. But don't get me wrong, all the other references are quite valid too

Arrivederci Gobbles....

Comment by tootsiexo

Okay this is weird.. I've completed all of the quests in the chain prior to this one, and Commander Schnottz isn't offering any other quests (including this one). What gives? How do I get this quest?

I'm able to speak to him, but all he says is "So, zhis is zhe night elf druid I've heard so much about, hmm? As you know, zhere is vone obelisk zhat has yet to be activated... Vhen zhe time comes to restore zhis ancient mechanism, vill you be zhere? Vill history remember you? Zhat depends on your villingness to cooperate!"

Comment by Titanorcakan

Comment by Crumpy

Or, y'know, because it's a turkey?

Comment by RobertM

Anyone know how this plays out on German servers? I guess he could be yelling "neun, neun, neun, neun!" but that's a pretty lame pun in German.

Comment by Aros

Full quest dialog:

Commander Schnottz says: Very vell, zhen. Let me just check my notes vone lasht time...

Commander Schnottz yells: Zhe ritual shpecifically calls for NINE!
Commander Schnottz yells: NINE! NINE! NINE! NINE! NINE!
Commander Schnottz yells: Out of my sight, vizh you! Auch...

Comment by Katarinea

Dear Commander Schnottz,

I would like to submit that you did not, in fact, tell me how many idols to retrieve. You said "several". In addition, you checked your notes prior to the ritual. If this is anyone's fault, it is your own for failing to be explicit in your commands and careful in your magic.

Also, I would like to ask -- lolumadbro?

Sincerely,
a disgruntled druid

Comment by Capnboomkin

I did Nazi that reference coming...

Comment by Zdeslav

The fact that the first quest in this chain was called "The Desert Fox" (Erwin Rommel) makes this even funnier.

Comment by gbalkam

So what I don't see posted in this topic chain, is the fact that, you must do "the furrier" quest and "fashionism" before "gobbles" will become available, then you can proceed to the rest of the chain. :o)

God.. all this effort just to do 4 lousy quests in one dungeon.

Comment by WoWGnGP

As of 8.0.1 this quest is bugged, Schnottz doesn't spawn the circle of summoning and just stands there.
