Methinks that the only reason why Gnomes exist is to provide something to kill when expansions are near the end of their life cycle. They have a funny death sound, and animation, which gives even more reason to kill them at every chance. In fact, killing Gnomes is so enjoyable, Blizzard made a quest during the Cataclysm expansion with that very purpose in mind, and is one of the best quests in the game.
So, join the cause, and kill a Gnome a day, so the depression stays away.
the beautiful music lol
No we donāt kill Gnomes. Gnomes are for punting, not killing. A dead Gnome is no fun to punt. They donāt make the funny noise and they tend to rot and splatter after a while. Much more fun to punt when alive.
This thread needs some yummy yummy cookies that never ever make your limbs fall off.1
1 Always makes your limbs fall off.
SAG told us those were all simulated sounds of death. Oooh, cookies!
I so sad 
Or ya know, they exist to fill the āshorter then dwarves raceā trope (its usually either gnomes or halflings although sometimes they just make up a short race).
Sorry to be the āfun policeā but I honestly feel like gnome short jokes are kinda waaaaaaay overdone at this point in the gameās lifespan.
they definitely should have done halflings rather than gnomes. halflings just sit around smoking pipeweed and eating all day.
personally my favorite way to kill a gnome is the same way that the vansalyan or whatever vampire-esque blood elf guys are. in the alliance war campaign in voldun thereās a cutscene where one just picks one up off the ground and spikes it, instantly gibbing it. itās great and one of the most memorable cutscenes from bfa in my opinion
You can handle a little more of those jokes.
Also, donāt kill me! Iām nice, mostly, sometimesā¦
Well, come to think of it, the only day of the year Iām nice is may 32nd.
Yāall do that but Grumbles and Chilibean are protected Gnomes. Do not touch the cookie Gnome and baby bean Gnome, thanks.
Does it, though?
Really?
Yeah, be thankful we could have got creepy little things like GW2ās Asura. Or walking cutesy toddlers FFXIXāS Lalafelā¦
I mean, Iām not sorry.
This is bold talk coming from the literal bargain-bin waifus of the Horde. Much less Illidanās dirty seconds.
Really? You didnāt find the āpuntingā comment refreshingly edgy and new??!! 
Those jokes are the best 
They are the written equivalent of the physical joke: ā¦pull my finger. 
Difference between a goblin and a gnome. Goblin says pull my finger, gnome wonders why. Maybe itās not the obvious reason, maybe goblins have developed some type of finger reactive war weapon technology. I should investigate this further.
The Sinādorei are the most popular Horde race, just saying.
The irony that an Elf is saying this. I wouldnāt expect an Elf to be able to see past their own abnormally long eyelashes. The above statement can be edited two different ways.
