Ozzy Osbourne Faces Off with WoW's Prince of Darkness
The ad cash just keeps pouring in for Ozzy Osbourne. Fresh off that Samsung spot for Leo Burnett, he's enlisted with Mojo for a World of Warcraft promotion.
The more blitzed he is, the better. And it probably only helps when he makes batshit-insane statements like, "Well, maybe you're the one who's been riding a fucking CRAZY TRAIN!" while teetering. (In case you didn't catch that with your ears, captions -- now a staple for Ozzy cameos -- have been included.)
At spot's end, WoW's "What's your game?" slogan is modified with yet another bleeped-out F-bomb.
Just another piece of high art by production company Green Dot Films. The latter called it the most-viewed spot on YouTube this weekend. We don't know about that, but ratings have been generous.

There can only be one Prince of Darkness! Subtitles are an excellent idea although he is surprisingly lucid in this.
Ech. I hate this fucking spot. The lame "Crazy Train" pun? It's like somebody looked up "Ozzy Osbourne" on Wikipedia.
