I'm curious as to where your retrieving this sense of humor from. And how you can pull this conclusion out of a 19 minute demo. By the way wow is a horrible looking game, I'm sure the original xbox's platform could run a scaled version of it. The only reason you see similarities is because you know who made it, and you know the name of it. If it was the first game of it's kind with no background and no link to blizzard you would have no idea. Sorry, but you can't deny that.
Where is there a sense of humor? You see it right off the bat in Diablo with the Butcher. He's a fat demon wearing an apron. You see it in Diablo 2 with Wirt's Leg as an item. Cow level (although that one is not so subtle)?
And as far as the games looking nothing like each other, I'm not even going to waste my time. You seem to be so dead set against noticing any connection between God's gift of Diablo and the steaming-pile-of-shit-that-only-noob-little-babies-play WoW that you won't see it no matter what anyone says.
edit:
again, I don't think that the game looks bad. I'm just responding to your knee-jerk post where you fly of the handle and lump everybody into the same group, assuming that everyone who has says anything other than praise is a vapid moron.
I'm not saying that Diablo 3 looks just like WoW, because it doesn't, but you can't honestly look at a screenshot of Diablo 3 and a screenshot of WoW and not see a similarity. To say that "Diablo 3 looked absolutely nothing like the cartoonish childish construction of WoW" is wrong. I think that WoW is a very nice looking game, don't get me wrong, but there is an obvious WoW influence in the visuals of Diablo 3. Are the mirrors of one another? Of course not, but you can defintely tell they came from the same place.
I'm a little unsatisfied with the visual direction that D3 is taking. Will I still buy it? Of course. And I do think that it's shaping up to be a pretty game, it's just not what I expected. It seems to infuse D3 with a sense of humor that wasn't really there before. The sense of humor in Diablo was always a little darker and more subtle, but now it's out in the open.
So don't go on a rage-filled tirade against everybody that happens to have a different stance than you (God forbid). Some people actually have good reasons behind not being thrilled over the look of the new game. It's called constructive criticism and is a good thing, much better than just lapping up everything Diablo as gold.

although there are a lot of people being douches about the look, on both sides of the argument, but that's to be expected.
