StarCraft Quotes & References: Zerg

When you click on a unit in a Blizzard game too many times, jokes, puns, and pop culture references are bound to appear. Sometimes the unit will explode!
Sorry it's so short, but they mostly just growl and roar!

well its not like you can find much references to an army that is mostly growling. good work still.

[@FlymanMS]

Not even mentioning Guardian’s “woof woof!”

[@theprussianviking]

Or the Mutalisk's evil laugh.

[@ExValeFor]

So the Overlord ACTUALLY does sound like a horse. I thought it was just me. Considering Infested Duran's VO is identical to his regular VO except for 'Yes, Captain' being replaced by 'Yes, Cerebrate', I'm not sure if he should've been in this video.

[@thefiresworddragon927]

Hey, chances are, people waited until they saw the Zerg video, because Zerg. Besides, Duran-Duran's great.

[@themrfives]

I had a feeling this was going to be pretty short.

[@ghostrider3723]

*you're right*

[@Alexgaby15Channel]

Defiler has 2 lines when you click him long enough. Something like Hey and Whos there?

[@Dandus_TF]

My head was upside down, not my screen.

[@DwasTV]

Even though there was not much covered here the thing about the defiller and the great spire destroyed my mind and sent me into a spiral of searching old starcraft buildings, their namings, and sounds. The 2 buildings likely had their sounds confused because the defile was called the Muta Chamber in naming and was the Mutation Chamber building before being removed. Their also had a 2nd building removed that had Muta in its name.

[@tling321]

I always thought overlord says "yyyess?" "Sssurely"

[@SeanKula]

I always heard "yeeeesss" "reeeaaallllyyy" "oh?" "Asking?"

[@stormpants1638]

Nice profile pic. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@kjellringstrom6217]

I remember the sound from zerg guardian, "Uff wuff"" sounds like our GSD when he barks in hes sleep.

[@PiscotV]

Radio Free Zerg is by far my most favorite easter egg song in video games. I mean, until today I didn't really know any other games had any secret songs, but still... RFZ is still great nostalgia of the moment my friend first told me about it.

[@CommanderBohn]

The Lurker sounded like the Predator before blowing himself up via self-destruction.

[@Neverwindious]

The hydralisk says “Die” when clicked multiple times

[@meathead6155]

You forgot some zerg reference which inspired of The Thing, Aliens, and Starship Troopers.

[@dregt21]

My morning was fckn mess, so i looked for something that reminds me of "better" days... And i found this Thank you so much man!!!

[@VioletShinobi]

After the 1st half I was like "How could he not include the zerg overmind song"... wasn't disappointed.

[@cdcdrr]

Aww man, and I had such high expectations for this one. I always felt the Zerg had more easter eggs than the other two races put together.

[@SeanKula]

I guess I'll never know how they made the hatchery sound 😂 also I think the Zerg egg may be a reference to Alien.

[@jmal]

I dunno if this qualifies as a reference, however the Zerg briefing room music was used in the movie Fight Club, in the scene where the Narrator (Edward Norton) threatens his boss.

[@soulgamer612]

You forgot that zerglings sometimes seem to say “commander” when you select them

[@kulrigalestout]

I had no idea that Starcraft had a hidden song, too! It's not bad, but it's no Medieval Man.

Amazing video man, but come on you didn't mention the zergling that farts and then laughs! Too funny

More quality content from you Abel, keep it up!

[@R17inator]

Fun trivia about the Zerg Queen is that its sounds were performed by Lani Minella, who also voiced the Dropship pilots in SC1 and 2, as well as a few bosses in Diablo 2 and funnily enough, the Tyranid Hive Mind in Dawn of War 2 Retribution.

[@sheilaolfieway1885]

Starcraft was orginally gonna be warcraft, but somebody said no so blizzard said "FIne we're making our own."

[@Endru85x]

@@sheilaolfieway1885 Did you mean Warhammer?

[@Zejgar]

I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or not, but the zergling death sound resembles a beat used in the song called "Makafushigi Adventure" from Dragon Ball.

[@seardrax527]

I Just watched the last video. And in one of the comments they're mocking the fact that the zerg wouldn't have pop culture references because they just growl

[@cringycrank7077]

for me personally if you listen to the hydralisk, it sounds like its speaking, saying some words.

[@chiribaya8553]

Christ Abelhawk i love every video you make

[@timothyernst8812]

Not that I'd expect anyone to know this, but the band Duran Duran is a reference to a 1960s scifi movie starring Jane Fonda titled "Barbarella" which features a scientist named Durand-Durand. References which are references to references. Reference-ception. Very meta.

[@Abelhawk]

Wow! A reference within a reference!

[@jeremylewis8226]

Is it just me, or does the zergling sometimes have a line if you click them enough where they fart at the end of their alien noise?

[@robertmoschetti1547]

Liked for the honest admission of padding! Love your stuff

[@AwesomeTheAsim]

I was expecting a long video about Zergs. I hope there are references in Protoss units.

[@TheMetalwolf77777]

Infested Terran is a old Marine corps moto, i think or it might be Army, but they had a slogan

[@Diceroller98]

Question, GreaterSpire.wav sounds like guardians, not something I would expect to hear from the defiler mound, so did you also mix up the sound files? Like should the sound the normal spire makes meant to be for the defiler mound and you just happened to mistakenly say greater spire, or am I missing something here? Because to me it seems like Spire.wav should actually be for the defiler mound, DefilerMound.wav should be for the standard spire, and GreaterSpire.wav should be for the Greater Spire.

[@osrictemper4225]

Yeah, i think he messed up a little bit ;P Upgraded Spire has correct sound

[@RafaSheep]

You can hear the Defiler Mound sound contains the standard Spire sound in the background layered underneath the mutalisk screams. That suggests it was intended for an upgraded Spire, just like hatchery upgrades use sounds layered on top of the original’s sound.

[@k-leb4671]

I don't know why you're hearing Guardians instead of Defilers. Honestly, they don't sound particularly different from each other, and the supposedly correct Defiler Mound file sounds pretty vague anyway. It could be any.

[@masterblasterT47]

Nope! I see no reason to hold this complete waste of time against you! I am already looking forward to the next episode.

[@RoboticDragon]

Holy fuck I havent heard that song in forever

[@dynamike476]

Ik theres an icon mix up when it comes to the hatchery upgrading to a lair because it shows the hive icon. Then when you upgrade your lair into a hive it shows the lair icon. (Not new graphics, old graphics.)

[@Villanuevac4]

Maybe try the voicing of units from Command and Conquer next?

[@thenachonacho1243]

0:57 I think that the guardians laugh then chokes and coughs are so posed to be references to general greviouse’s coughs and laughs but I don’t really know

[@sheilaolfieway1885]

I don't think so grevious didn't exsit then, did he?

[@christopherg2347]

Durans Voicelines are the same as the Human version - just a Infested Zerg Filter laid over them.

[@christopherg2347]

I can not remember wich unit, but one of them sounds like it says "early"

[@Max734734]

As always, Abelhawk is always...Abel to bring up the good stuff. Keep up le good work mang. ;D

[@robertaylor9218]

Duran Duran got their name from the campy sci-fi “barbarella” it was the name of the villain.

[@akselklandrasmussen1747]

Slightly disappointed, was expecting a zergling to say rawr xd

[@k-leb4671]

That means "I love you" in Zergling.

Mr. Abelhawk, take us to the orbit, we’ve seen enough of your other videos already

[@mrbones4399]

That's awesome, I have never heard that song before :) I listened to the song again by itself on a different video and the Overmind's voice in the beginning struck me as sounding very familiar to something I've heard before. Why, it's almost identical to the Ragnaros dialogue in Molten Core (You summon him at the end of the raid after dousing all of the runes). Although, after some research I found out the characters don't share the same voice actor, I do wonder if the team used similar effects to achieve both voices. Would love to hear others' opinions on this.

[@Squiggles01]

*Sleepy Zergling noises...* ((I'm quite tired...))

[@phantomcyborg5747]

XD the end of the video is as interesting as the actual content

[@rickydiscord7671]

what's funny I can make those zerg sounds without using sound effects. but I can make alot of them easy from the starcraft 2 version. I sure a few people have done SC2 zerg sounds also.

[@TehKorwinMikke]

The zerg don't have much to talk about - but it seems strange that you didn't say anything about the voice of Big Daddy of Zerg - Overmind(if only to comment on how godlike, high-and-mighty he sounds with this almost biblical way of speaking). Does that mean, that mayhaps you will eventually make a video about Starcraft campaign?
