This channel is far better than Behind The Meme
The Divide that's not that hard
The Divide but not better than the meme review.
Behind the Meme is a mistake
that isn't hard
don't even compare them
This has to be the worst kind of fame. Being unable to play the game, all because you're known for a meme that later died.
And being condemned to never go beyond the meme.
You watched this in 2018, and it's still commented on and referenced. It never died
@Labyrinth9000 holy shit that brings me back
It definitely didn’t die.
Early memes are different.
Today, we have thousands of memes to remember and “keep” enjoying. When in reality we probably all forget about them a month after they’ve come out.
This meme was in the early days of internet memes. It still lives on.
could've made an alt
There will come a time where Internet Historian will go down in history for being one of the few that documented internet culture during our lifetime, and that both excites me and scares me.
Fantasy Scrub It's arousing
I mean, there are literal terabytes of 4chan archives alone. There are tons of people who just hoard data because hard drives are pretty cheap and it gives them a sense of purpose.
Fantasy Scrub yeah kinda sad, the only other content I saw similar to this is a documentary on twitch plays Pokémon read like a bible
He'll be the fucking Plato of the internet.
But there are already online encyclopedias and shit. It's not like he's telling us something undiscovered before him.
He should sell a shirt that says
"Leeroy Jenkins.
- Leeroy Jenkins "
LOL
I I would buy it
Where were you dude
@@Sraxton No, wrong game. WoW, not LoL.
He cant
Say the line bart.
Wow , heart in 18 minutes??
HE LURKS
I was literally just thinking that
I didn't do it
Sit perfectly still. Only I may dance.
So in other words blizzard used him and didn't even give him a thank you
Gear Grinder51 yep sums it up
They could have at least let him sell Leeroy Jenkins merchandise, I'm sure he would have taken a modest %
They didn't even buy him dinner.
At least he has chicken
at least they could have give him a unlimited free subscription whit expansions included for his wow account.
Blizzard wouldn't let Leeroy sell merch due to copyright...
Blizzard sells his character model as figurines...
👏... 👏... 👏... 👏... 👏

@@justsomeponywithamustache8731 Huh???
Blizzard are and have always been greedy assholes.
Play LoR
And on his dying bed he thought back about the greatest moment of his life. A battle cry in a video game. He's the closest person to a real life pokemon. What a legend.
This comment is underappreciated. xD
@@deadliestvice5356 th-that didn't happen tho
If that's true.. that is just depressing.
best comment
My bed is dying I need to replace it. One too many Friday currys
Sooo let's recap. Blizzard prevented him from making money from the wow meme, then Blizzard decided to make money from his name
Classic Blizzard. Create a huge meme with just your character name and epic war cry? It belongs to us now and only we can monetize it. Create a new custom game in Warcraft 3? It belongs to us now, we'll sell it and you'll get nothing out of it.
What a joke...
If he could afford a lawyer army to match blizzard he could have easily beatein blizzard in court over this. But not everyone has a hundred millions to throw away on a case in court.
@Jean Bon Terms of service is not a legally binding document and any part of it that contradicts common law is null and void.
@Joe Mama don't insult aids like that
Yes, that's how intellectual property works. Creating a game takes *slightly* more skill and work than screaming a name in a youtube video.
Now that Entertainment Tonight song is stuck in my head
Hey
Crazy seeing two awesome history channels supporting IH!
Awesome to see you here as well!
It's been stuck in my head for two weeks!
AlternateHistoryHub i only hear shadilay 24/7 :(
The US Military uses the Leeroy Jenkins video as a “what not to do” when planning and discussing how you’re going to tackle a situation. I’m not fucking kidding.
yes you are
I'm sure it's used more of a way to "engage" the youngins coming in to bootcamp. Give them a laugh amongst all the crying.
@Dick Johnson That's a rabbit hole outside the scope of the military, because it's much, MUCH deeper and crazy. Take the 80's crash courses in "Satanism and satanic cults" as an example, or the famous Surviving Edged Weapons educational video for Wisconsin police officers. The backlog of the things taught by American police schools is insane.
@@gandalf8216 IIRC, the Gurps Cyber-something RPG book was raided by the FBI because the police thought it was *actually* a Hacker's Handbook.
Yes, Steven Jackson games made not AND fun of it in their eventually-released edition.
@Dick Johnson Nah, I just wanted to point out how bizarre American police education stuff can be or has been, and that it's a fun rabbit hole to dive into sometimes. There was no real depth to my comment, or any real point, so consider my comment a shitpost because it kind of was.
"The movie did alright.... in China"
This surprises me.
Adult Swim mentioned that awhile back telling America "If we see this in the sequel... *shows pandaren race* It's your fault!"
American movies that do well in China are the ones with lots of special effects and action, because they can be easily localized. A movie that's amazing because of its script that relies on English language and a native understanding of Western culture is harder to change for the Chinese audience. That audience represents a ton of money. So Hollywood has drifted even more toward that kind of vapid schlock. There may be a point where American audiences become disgusted enough they refuse to - sorry, nevermind, that will never happen because American standards are so incredibly low.
Remember the overwatch situation with Free Hong Kong?
Pepper ridge Farm and the community members.
But Blizzard is too busy with the recent lawsuit to even hear about it
@@googiegress it was successful because WoW is extremely popular in China
Was one of the most popular memes
Got like 50$ out of it
Memes arent about profit tho
at least he got chicken
@@Brandelwyn nowadays they are

So warcraft used his name and his joke freely and he never got any royalties? wow
Loyalties for what? He never owned either a character, character's name or anything, as nobody really owns their characters or accounts in MMO games, just 'rents' them to say it simply. They didn't ever use sound cue which could be the only thing he could have any rights to.
@@Pawlok131 It's not about 'rights' or letter of the law. It's about courtesy.
@@lordbinkythebuffoon5465 as if big corporations cared about that
@boo
You could easily argue that they are entitled to use it since the meme/joke originated from someone playing their game.
No game = No Leroy = No meme
@@robrick9361 That's like someone getting famous playing guitar on youtube and then the guitar company would use his fame to sell more guitars and say "well if it weren't for us, he wouldn't even be there so we deserve 100% of cashing out from all this fame". Blizzard was a bag of dicks.
This was kinda sad...
Grigori I know right, I felt pretty bad to hear that the fans ruined the server and ran him off the game, and then got cut from the movie to add insult to injury.
Alexa, play despacito 2
Not sad at all actually. He rode out some fame from just playing a video game. Got to be an NPC in WOW etc. Was almost in the movie. That's pretty cool to me.
1000th like.
@@ZEMO74 I think sad in the way that he was having fun being him, but eventually it didn't pay out in the long term and had to do what he originally had to do to eat at the end of the day.
Blizzard are wrong for making figures and putting him in the game without doing anything for him
You don't get rich by signing a lot of checks. -Bill Gates in The Simpsons
The dude could have easily rode that meme to a multi million dollar youtube channel. Turns out he just got lucky and wasn't actually an interesting person to watch.

they cut leeroy out of the movie? no wonder if flopped.
I edited this comment 10 months later after forgetting this comment existed
@@SourCyanide so you are one of the people who doesn't understand what "a movie flopped" actually means...please look it up before you add more to the subject.
@@v1KE4 I didn't say it was good. I said it didn't flop. Whether or not something flopped is factual based on the money made by the movie... Mostly. Either way, it made quite a lot of money.
@@5upl1an so you are one of those people that thinks just because a movie performed poorly domestically, it flopped. No. The movie made 433.7 million on a 160 million budget. That's a very respectable margin competing with the likes of Disney (Pixar... not their box office monsters). Why is it every time somebody tells _me_ to look something up, they haven't done it themselves??
It didn't in China. That country alone turned it into a success.
This is a quality channel.
Quality channel with a quality meme mascot

I like your sarcasm!
Cloudy he’s not really explaining it though. He’s merely retelling it in a colourful and entertaining way that pleases children like me who suffer from autism and like colourful images and soothing voices.
Finding out this was staged is like finding out Santa isn't real :(
It did actually happen, in fact Leroy got kicked out of the guild for a few days over the incident. However it became a joke among the guild and they invited him back and what happened was so funny they decided to use it to make the staged video, hamming it up for a laugh and to make it way more interesting.
Based off true events though.
Oh, thank you for the backstory! Now I'm happy again
Your very welcome.
Melody Borg the incident DID really happen. The video we have today is a recreation of the actual one which wasnt taped so they filmed it
Like it wasnt obvious the video was staged?
I love that a video about Leeroy Jenkins doesn’t once include the signature battle cry in it’s entirety. Brilliant.
Hmm. Wonder why that could be?...
Genius
I am pretty shocked that Blizzard gave him such a cold shoulder. I can see how a lot of folks who are meme famous don't, or even sometimes can't effectively market/profit/improve themselves due to the short half-life of many memes. Internet Historian, may your well-deserved internet fame be stable and long-lived: a dynasty rather than a one-off!
thewalex Blizzard = EA light with effective pr
It's especially weird considering that he is a card in Hearthstone
Hammaster they didn't pay him shit though, so it was good PR for free that would be well liked by the community
thewalex
Speaking of Half-Life, wonder of he will do some sort of video on Garry or something of similar meme worthiness
I bet the reason he didn't cash in with the meme was that he didn't hire a professional manager to negotiate and search for business deals. He could have become seriously rich having his brand of breakfast serials and everything, but normal people just do not know how to market themselves and negotiate the deals. It's like top sports players get all sorts of deals that have noting to do with the sport they play, but the managers searches out the people who are willing to pay.
That fcking "cash me outside" girl is a millionaire nowadays. You think she negotiated the deals and promoted her? No. But she was clever enough to hire a representative or was offered the service and they made it happen.
Now the original Leeroy is just a sad bearded guy with a famous phrase he never managed to exploit financially.
You forgot to talk about the fact that yeah, he tried to bank in on the meme, but he was also hired by Blizzard and still works for them. He does shout casting for them in WoW arena tournaments as well as some overwatch stuff, he hasn't gone back to some average life, he is employed by the makers of the game
Thank you so much for this comment, didn't catch up with Leeroy recently!
That's a... pretty average sounding life though?
Jared Franklin what did you think he would be snorting coke off of strippers asses over a internet meme
sauce?
@Főfasírozó lol who the fuck are you
This is the meme that made my entire family start playing wow. I regret nothing.
are u a nolife if u like to watch tv or play a sport?
"This can't be good for me but I feel great."
Rewatching this in 2021 -- even more interesting, with Blizzard self-destructing in front of us.
oh man if only they used him in the movie that would have been such an epic moment.
Self-destructing is putting it lightly it's more like self annihilating
2022 gang here yea
Blizzard will be fine. Stop being gay
Here after season of fantasy filler, where they put in Mccree (not changing a characters name because you want good publicity) voice line "how ya wanna do this?"... And that was the highlight, they're currently running the Diablo franchise straight into the floor, and have doubled their predatory marketing efforts in using every scummy technique they can
i love how you never played the whole Leroy Jenkins shout, shit would be obnoxious

Folfy wtf is your profile picture
"SOMETIMES the superlative nouns in noun are OFTEN the superlative noun" um...
meh, I had some good memories of WoW but I ran into the same issue, the game just got boring n mostly because I was never in a big guild n I never really got any good loot from bosses, this was years ago, I did try it again a couple years ago but quit again :/ The only real things worth doing in this game are Halloween quests, popular bosses and funny interactions which you can get most of that right here on youtube. Sadly the time of personal experience died but it was inevitable, we're all onto new and better things, hell I had played the game since release......more than 10 years ago, I dunno some small part of me wants to continue playing n just pay the 15$ a month just to screw around n forget about it every now n then but meh.

It is the most screwed up thing in gaming history, in my opinion. The guy is a legend, no doubt sold millions of subscriptions by what he did.

That's kinda sad, especially ... Leeroy Jenkins should be a Intellectual Property owned by them. I mean after all, HE created the character, choose a name and they staged that Video together.
Feels kinda wrong, that Blizzard now uses that IP however small it might be, for Quests, Cards in Heartstone ... maybe even make a Character in Heroes of the Storm ... and all he has is meme fame, while Blizzard has some cheap means to make some Items in they're games more famous/meaningful.
He dies

Legend says that if you're early, Internet Historian does not give a shit.
St1ck5 & St0nes well its true
It's the classic case of having utterly nothing to follow up with. You see this with one hit wonders all the time.
If all you can do is shout "[insert funny line here]" and nothing else, that's all you'll ever be. The "Insert Funny Line Here" guy. He didn't follow it up with any sort of video series featuring the character - as Rooster Teeth has built a whole multi-media company from doing -, he didn't lend his voice to any of WoW's vast problems to improve the game, and he really didn't have any other talents beyond being the right man in the right place at the right time that one time. Maybe Blizzard's copyright stuff factored into the problem with profiting from it, but that hardly stopped RvB or 'Arby and the Chief' or any other video series built off of parodying a game using that game's assets. And none of these examples are recent, they are contemporaries of Leeroy Jenkins - give or take a few years.
This is an excellent video, though. Extremely informative. You'd never get this from KYM or BTM.
Rooster Teeth sucked and still does. They had to bring in outside people and piggyback off of other peoples' talents to actually make themselves successful.
He didnt follow up because back then he made no money of videos and all he wanted was to exand his guild
@@KG-yz7tr As someone who grew up with The Blood Gulch Chronicles, and still returns to it fairly regularly to find it holds up even to this day, I'm _pretty_ damn sure RvB's success was mainly due to RT's own writing talent (read: Bernie Burns), voice acting, and machinimatography (is that a word...?), and that the times they pulled in "outside talent" like Monty Oum were the parts that were actually mediocre in comparison.
Remember the CG scenes he did in the later seasons...? Talk about forgettable, at least compared to the actual machinima stuff. You've got this whole thing totally backwards, dude.
I actually have a Leeroy Jenkins minifigure. He is in my D&D campaign as an NPC who the players let charge in first because he sets off traps
LOL forcefull disarm
You should have mentioned that fact that the youtube channel that hosted the original video has been sold and now pumps out those shitty spam videos with titles like "Spiderman Nursery Rhymes Lightning McQueen Mickey Mouse Frozen Elsa".

He's an engineer, engineers tend to be like that.

6:30 quick "yeah I know" response has had me laughing longer than the video itself

Just because you pay to use their sandbox, doesn't mean the sand castles you build in it belong to you.
Your characters/account are technically property of Blizzard. You buy the time. Sadly, wouldn't have worked. Super lame that they kinda just didn't even give him, idk, say 5-10% of anything, though.
Blizzard? Caring for their community? HAH

You say that but he could have trademarked the name. Blizzard had sole ownership of the character's likeness, but they would have a hard time justifying ownership of the name.
It was a joke, but thanks for explaining regardless.

A star who made no money at all from his viral success whilst Blizzard cashed in on everything he'd (and his guild of course) had done to achieve it.
Cash cows.
you should do an episode about that time someone used real bones to make a sex doll
or that time when 4chan did some weird shit
oh wait
Or that time some guy would cum in a bottle for the whole year and then post pictures of it on /b/ at Christmas every year.
Or that time 4chan tried to kill a bunch of people with a fake crystal maker scheme
He could just include all these stories in an episode about autistic /b/tards and their spooky/goofy antics.
what about the exploding spoons?
bro I freaking love your videos it’s been a tough couple weeks but god I can’t get enough
*I think the meme is still funny if exposed to it every couple of months.*

Chandler's internet stardom is a topic that would require a full-length several hour documentary to cover... Which you can find many such documentaries on UA-cam already.
McNoScopeThe1st Liam a very good series called Down the Rabbit Hole made an excellent documentary on him, check it out
Do you know how long would be a movie about guy (now girl ?) who has a whole wiki about himself?

Lmao this editing is amazing. I love this channel. Internet Historian, you're a God amongst men. Godspeed.
Can I just say thanks for using the artwork I had commissioned of my character years ago? LOL PLEASE CREDIT DANTE WONT DIE ON DEVIANTART FOR HIS SEXY WORK!
Your humor and editing is truely a masterpiece
Your production quality is superb. I laugh my ass off every video. Even the music tracks are freaking awesome. So glad I subscribed. Been binging them for two days now. I have not seen ANYTHING I was not impressed by on your channel. Thanks for your time and enormous efforts. Off to the next vid.
"ever notice how Leeroy gets whiter over time" say what now l:D
channel needs to be accepted so they have fit in and bash white people
Somebody's white fragility and just a nuanced hint of insecure masculinity is showing like a goddamn drive in movie.
@@bosefareheart9699 If we are watching a movie, can you buy me a soda and some popcorn?
@@philmazzie3674 Oh noes, that probably white, Australian, man made a joke about a character's skin fading from a Mediterranean bronze to pasty white!
When friends and I started playing WoW in 2005, we picked Laughing Skull, Horde side. Just so we could find and kill him.
did you ever find him?
The first on screen death in Mass Effect 1 was Private Richard L. Jenkins, a trigger-happy marine who got himself killed rushing out into a pack of Geth drones before he could get a shot off.
"I got a surprise for you, though!"
"Yeah, I know."
This is low-key the most depressing part of the whole video.
I hate the fact you blanked out every LEEROY JENKINS!!!!
Luxx Fushion I hate that too
Haha knowing it would trigger people made the video funny to me. He's such a troll

Luxxy saved my sanity
Its for the best
“Say the line bart!”
