Tauren Marine in STarcraft II
Ha ha, Blizzard. Very funny.

Add to that that the humans in Starcraft are called "Terrans" and "Tauren" is an appreciative pun - well, you get it.

What I really enjoy is Blizzard's dedication to the joke. Not only did they provide a few screenshots, but they also made a few gameplay videos:
