What is it?
Leeroy Jenkins is the name of a World of Warcraft character that is known for screaming out his name before ignorantly charging headlong into battle, killing everyone in his party.
Jenkins was embraced by Blizzard, making several appearances in World of Warcraft products.
Origin
The video was first uploaded to World of Warcraft fansite Warcraft Movies on May 11th, 2005. The guild PalsForLife posted the video to the official World of Warcraft forums asking for constructive criticism on their gameplay. The video showed the guild intensely discussing battle strategies, preparing to enter a dangerous zone in the game known as the about to enter the Rookery in the Upper Blackrock Spire, known for its large quantity of dragonspawn. Suddenly, a paladin in the group named Leeroy Jenkins, who appeared to have missed the discussion, yells out "alright, lets do this!" before charging into the area, killing everyone in the party. - Ігри
"Leroy you are just stupid as hell"
Leroy: *becomes the most iconic meme in all of WoW*
One of the most iconic memes of all time too
He even has an npc in his honor
I met him at a BlizzCon once. He is funny.
"At least I have chicken"
Words to live by leeroy words to live by.
Thx yall for the likes and comments! Really makes me feel better about myself
In Mass Effect, L. Jenkins is the first squad mate to rush in and gets killed.
Holy shit!!! 🤣 I never connected that!
Is that the same name the guy in halo 1 when masterchief reviews a soldiers footage of the flood’s first sighting?
Holy shit I forgot. That's amazing.
@@oneacycle yea but that was before this meme
@@shadowx2229 I had to look it up- it’s Jenkins but not Leroy 😂
“At least I have chicken” - Leeroy Jenkins
Or: “At least I ain’t chicken.”?
And this is relevant how?
@@ImperialistFan because my balls itch
@@disorganizedbones8139
I mean, how is it relevant for Leroy to have chicken after everything that’s happened
@@ImperialistFan
>suicided so he can eat chicken
This is such a meme that I sometimes forget it is real life
Yessir, I keep thinking it’s scripted. 😂
@@bosnianbruiser96 It was
Internet Lore
@@dralezero source?
@@geg6315 Yes, the video that went viral before anyone knew what viral even meant is fake. That shouldn't taint the long-lasting history of "Leeroy Jenkins," but it certainly puts it in a new light. Although when it first gained fame, there were some that were skeptical of its authenticity. People even asked the creators about it, and they'd respond without giving an actual answer.
"I like people to decide for themselves," Ben Schulz, the voice behind Leeroy, said to Westword in 2007. "It is more fun that way."
But in 2017 the creators admitted it wasn't real.
I bet when this video was released they never thought it would end up in a Family Guy episode Season 16 episode 14, "Veteran Guy"
Or getting the most hated legendary card in Hearthstone
Aw come on Matt Stone got them quick. On point too!
He had a video game character named after him in the first Mass Effect. Lel!
Its also referenced in S4E20 of The Cleveland Show around 11mins in!
Also in the HBO series Barry, Season 1 Episode 6, by the character of Taylor when they just bum rush a hit job 😂 "LEEROOOY!!!... JENKINS!!!!"
The godammit Leeroy was what really tied it all together
Agreed
Nah, it was "It's not my fault!" 😂
Leeroy you moron!..... That's funny 🤣🤣
Not my fault. Lmaooo
Atleast he has chikken.😂😂😂 (Audibly eating chicken)😂😂😂😂
"I'm coming up with 32.33, repeating of course, percentage of survival"
Yep, that was the dead giveaway that this was scripted and staged.
@@ezOqekuRitusohI nah just a bunch of absolute nerds
@@ezOqekuRitusohIYes, and no. There were apps and other things that would do calculations dependent on a bunch of different variables (party size, composition, difficulty of area, etc).
@@ezOqekuRitusohIthere were actually sites back then that let people make calculations like that. It’s mainly just for players to gage the difficulty of what they are doing factoring in everyone’s level.
Of course
It’s 2024 and I wanted to watch this again.
same lol
Triple ditto
Just introduced my boyfriend to this for the first time. We can't let this video ever die
I literally searched it and watched a dozen times 😂
Same.
Leeroy Jenkins was the Healer. When he ran in first and got himself killed the entire raid was Dead but they tried. They still gave it the old College try. And then they all went broke getting repairs.
Need to run the numbers again.
@@JonCombo I’m coming up with a 32.33- repeating of course- percentage of survival.
And then spending the 20-30 minutes corpse running back since back in these wow days the alliance didn't have a flight path anywhere near.
In the video they said he was a paladin though.
How did a guy like this decided to become a healer 😂
In therapy I named my anxiety Leeroy Jenkins because my anxiety just charges in and gets everyone killed. My therapist doesn't get it but I think it's hilarious
Brilliant!
cringe
Tell your therapist you want to “shout your anxiety away”, so you can holler Leeroy Jenkins at him 😂
As a psychology student I find this hilarious
okay now I have to question why you are going around anxiously killing people ?
It doesn't matter if this is staged or not, at the time this came out, it was the funniest thing on the internet. Just a pure joy to experience the first time. And people still reference this regardless of the type of game they play, from MMOs to FPS to strategy games.
Still the funniest thing on the internet idgaf
Still the funniest thing on the internet
Hahahaha every time I'm about to push something by myself this is what I shout 😂
It's only a reenactment, when it actually happened they weren't recording, so it's not staged in the sense that it's fake, they just did it a second time while recording
I was on EverQuest when this came out. HI-larious !
"Leroy just ran in. Abdul, can you crunch some numbers again?"
You know it’s hit it’s peak when an Amazon original series uses this sound as the detonation of an IED
Bro I literally just searched this up because I am on that episode of Terminal List right now
What the fuck lmaoooo
Got used a lot within different military units for alert call sounds and such. The series was paying homage. Soo good.lop
Oh yeah lol, The Terminal List
Even though Psyche isn't an Amazon original, it also has an episode with a villain called Leroy Jenkins, and Sean says the name like in the video
its the pause and "omg he just ran in"
Followed by the utterances of "Save him!"
I went bungee jumping a couple of weeks ago, and shouted Leroy Jenkins before the jump. None of the staff knew what the hell I was talking about. I'm officially old 😂
To be fair you kinda need to be a nerd to know ts💀
@@captainpancake8177I watched a documentary about a US Air Force Pararescue unit operating in Afghanistan or something and the "LEROY JENKINS" shout was used as their alert call triggering them to respond to a wounded soldier. Kinda cool.
Leroy definitely the chilliest one here. I'm not sitting around for all that, I'm going in swinging
No he was away from his keyboard and when he came back he just jumped up and ran in. He had no idea what the plan was.
@@Jinjerella"Times up, let's do this"... 😂😂😂
Leroy said "I ain't reading allat"
That would make him the least chill person 🤣
@@Jinjerellastill a goat don’t care
Bro was AFK free him 😭 he heard none of the plan
Sometimes I come back to this video and realize how much youtube, social media and life has changed.
Back then I loved to be on the internet and talking with people. So many creators who put so much love, creativity and individuality into their videos. Now everything is so bland, controversy driven, plays on our insecureties and even the algorithms of the different platforms push these negative things onto us so we engage more with their platforms.
At this point I have no real interest anymore spending time on the internet.
Agreed
@xahst Honestly, both things are true. The internet changed a whole fucking lot, it's undeniable. You have to go out of your way to find anything like there used to be before.
I feel ya man 🤠
the stunned silence before "He just went in" "save him,"
1:22 the epic moment
1:25
Alright, time’s up, let’s do this! LEEEEEROOOOOOOOOYYY JEEEEENKIIIIIIINNNNNS!!!
@@petercolbeysgameshowmania7176 as someone who has played wow... to this day 10 years later, that is still one of the dumbest moves i have seen... but ya cant lie the dudes got heart.
LEEROYYYYYYYYYYY-
How am I just watching this for the first time? I knew about the meme forever but just now decided to look up the original
i've only just discovered it after watching zeducation
The actual original is from May 2005
World of Warcraft embraced this meme so hard they made him a quest named Leroy with a lot of vowels and also made him an NPC in the game. To this day if you don't understand a Leroy reference they make fun of you unmercifully. As it should be.
Same!
same lol
This is the guy people refer to every time they say "that one guy"
Sometimes, I feel like doing the same thing in pointless meetings at work.
😂
"Leroy, you are just stupid as hell."
".... At least I have chicken."
BEST RESPONSE EVER!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
This just never gets old. LMAO
LEEEEROYYYYYYYYYY JENNNNKINSSSSS
@@ShinTheLast oh my god he just ran in
Never.
2:27 “It’s not my fault 😞”
"God dammit Leeroy."
“Leeroy, you moron!”
ALRIGHT, JUMP UP LETS DO THIS LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEROY JEEEEEEEEEEENKINS
Leroy Jenkins, the original D&D barbarian.
When he said "use a soulstone" I first heard "he's just so stoned"
And Hearthstone got a game after we needed to laugh for ever. 4 "PALS FOR LIFE" and played rogue mostly
On a quiet ski slope one night i saw a guy come off a hilltop and just before he emerged from the cloud of snow i heard ....LERRRRROY JENNNNNNKINS. THAT WAS IN 2005 . it was everywhere and still cracks me up thinking of it.
I was watching a show called Puppy Dog Pals S2 Ep2 with my son and they had a dog going down a slide yelling “Gilroy Pupkins”. I loved that the writers incorporated that in a children’s show for us adults.
“At least I have chicken”
Is one of the most underrated lines
Leroy Jenkins is that kind of friend that every group needs.
Sometimes when I’m bored and have nothing to do I just pop up this video and watch it a couple times before returning to the usual life
1:23 And thus, a legend was born.
1:23
Leroy:Alright Times Up, Let’s do this, LEROOOOOOOOY JENKINS!!!
Years later and this is still as funny as the first time I watched this. Absolute legend! 😂
I've seen it a bunch of times but it still makes me laugh to tears. Legendary classic!!!
What's funny is I was online and playing when this happened. To be clear I was not in the group. Just online and questing.
What's funny about that?
@@nickmassy-collier2691 I remember the chat going crazy. At the time and for sometime after it’s all people talked about. If you were online back then you may remember.
@@charlesholt9521 yes but what was funny about you being online and questing at the same time that happened was the question I was asking?
@@nickmassy-collier2691 WoW chat went crazy and it was the only conversation for a while
@@charlesholt9521 absolutely hilarious
“God dam it Leroy your so dumb” and yet, it is Leroy who will live forever
Legend says you can still hear Leeroy screaming into dungeons.
still funny as hell in 2023
I've never played a single second of WoW and I was in grade school when this happened. It's so pervasive that both my wife and I yell LEEROOYYYYYY all the time when doing something tricky or in a hurry. This shit transcends art mediums.
I think Leeroy needs something from this guy…he needs to become a timeless icon
The warrior using the emote to ask for healing is 2005 wow at its finest
Leroy just got done taking a massive dump, ripped a bong hit of resin and was ready to go.
The way that Leroy genuinely sounds sad after messing it up for everyone is hilarious and adorable.
I've experienced this a few times in NiOh. Like one time in the mission "The Ocean Roars Again". I was summoned and spawned at the shrine. Player who summoned me was not in sight. And I realized he had started the boss battle and was loosing health. Fortunately the routes were opened, but still it was quite a long trip, avoiding the various gaps which could your character could fall into and die, and then of course he hadn't cleared up any of the mobs. And they had all aggroed when he sprinted through the route, so I was invariably delayed by the active mobs..that summoner was losing health rapidly, boss health barely touched. I was like "Hold on! Hold on! Stay alive!" and other thoughts you can imagine....he died just as I arrived at the boss arena. And of course I was returned to my world..No loot or anything...
Omg dont even get me started on fukin umi bozo 🙄🙄🙄
Bro what was your player id
My ID "SkylerXT"
Omae Wa / translate + we died chicken, nihaow
A man made history that day
the noise for Mic toggle on Vent is engrained in my soul.
This is my forst time actually watching where the "LERRROOOYY JEEENCKINSSS" came from. Am i glad i did. My friemds would always scream that when they were going into an unwinnable situation and it was kind our thing for a little bit. But we all grow up and live our lives i guess. Anyways, im glad i watched this.
Just been teaching my son about Leroy Jenkins. I feel the legend must never die!
I can't wait to teach my grandson. =)
Can’t believe I’ve only just been introduced to this! This is amazing! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"God damn it Leeroy"...."Leeroy you are just stupid as hell"....
"at least I have chicken" 😅😂
many a time i've yelled "LEEEERRROOOOYYY JEENKINSSSS!" before doing something stupid!
just imagine a universe when he never just ran in
It’s 2023 and we still love Leroy!
This is peak internet comedy history
Just was playing a cards against humanity-type game and had to explain Leeroy Jenkins to everyone
i guess they're no longer Pals for Life.
😂
😢😢😢
After all of these years i never noticed he was afk the entire time until the moment he went in 🤣
The best tone drop sound in the world, LEROY JENKINS!
To be fair there are tons of Leeroy Jenkins all over the MMOs around the world
There's a lot of them in real life too.
@@Jinjerella agreed
This was a defining moment when this dropped in high school. Y'all had to BE THERE.
A timeless meme.
That “goddamnit Leeroy” was from the heart
Little did they know Leroy would become one of the biggest memes ever
i loved how leroy was afk while he was doing the whole explanation
2024 this is still amazing aged like fine wine
Coming back to this in 2023! Never gets old
Arguably one of the greatest clips ever.
Leeroy Jenkins- not my fault I'm so stoned 😂😂😂🤣
Soul stone. Though that would have been funny.
The crispy ass mic makes this.
“Abdul can we get a number crunch” just kills me every time
"33.33... repeating of course" XD
he saw an oportunity to shine..... and he indeed shined
i love how leeroy´s "AFK" was gone right before it went down
"oh my god he just ran in" gets me every time
God damn it Leroy. That wasn’t….
it wasn’t the plan 😞
Classic memories 2023 and still watching it its Leroyyyyyyyyy jenkinssssssss
LEEEEEEEROOOOY JEEEENKIIINNNNSSSSS
I use the ".33 repeating of course" any time I can at work ( I work in engineering) with the straightest face. No one to this day has called me out or gets where its from.🤣 I'm still waiting for the day someone does and burst in to laughter.
I only played wow for like a week but i still reference this video all the time
This will never get old
The funny thing is that if you play Classic, you'd realize that their plan is absolute ass
It's so crazy how mmos haven't changed much😂
Came back because I just watched the animated version and completely forgot this actually happened.
This never gets old.
"Oh my God he just ran in" 😂😂😂
"At least i have chicken" is the cherry on top
this guy was a half god we can tell... its like RKO from nowhere but in ... epic
Just playing heartstone, i realize this sound is hillarious, decided to search it up on yt, Leeeeeroooy jenskinns
And in that moment, a legend was born.
And they bid him join them, in the halls of Valhalla, where the brave may live forever… with their chicken.
Galaxy s23 video brought me here. Man. This really never gets old. Pure comedy gold!
It's funny when you do the timed quest and have to finish it in time or Leroy gets up and runs around and aggroes everything lol. Epic
In 2023 this video still has me crying!!
😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
in 2023, i'm now inspired to Leroy something big in the game I play. will update.
You can hear the age of this video, my god 🤣
Literally have watched this video 50 times and laugh every single time.
I’m brand new to wow I just completed this dungeon last night for the first time! Was so cool to see where leroy ran in at lmao
