I thought the WoW episode was pretty shit, not because of any of the content, per se (although it was both unfunny and totally obvious) but because they collaborated with Blizzard in making it. It's like when a celebrity shows up on SNL with his cast impersonator. It's not funny because it's claimed to be satire but all the edges are softened with the purpose of making sure the subject of its ridicule comes out with an unbruised ego and no hard feelings. Satire is all about edges. The WoW episode was an exercise in self-congratulation on the part of Blizzard.

I never really thought they were making fun of the game itself though, in the least bit.  Mostly, I felt they were addressing the cultural phenom that are MMOs, and, as I said, parodying a genre of cinema/story to make their point interesting.
