So I rented and watched Princess Bride. I had forgotten how good of a movie that is. In fact, I'm watching it again right now. But, the point is, DotA is a lot funnier when you get all the Princess Bride references (well, I looked through it again, and didn't recognize a couple, but that's why I'm watching the movie a second time).

In fact, DotA is almost as funny after a second reading, simply because I can appreciate all the little jokes and stuff, rather than trying to follow the meandering plot.

To me, that's the sign of something truly funny - it's still good after many, many times. Most cult movies work this way (I can't count how many times I've seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail, or Clue, or Clerks), and anyway I like DotA. Eh, I think that was my point.
