Happy 20th anniversary, Leeroy Jenkins

Published:

Twenty years ago, the name Leeroy Jenkins worked through the Upper Blackrock Spire Sale, and now echo echo for eternity. On May 11, 2005, the notable “Leeroy !!” The video was published to WarcraftmoviesWebsite dedicated World of Warcraft Machinima.

The film comes from a guild called Pals for Life. In him, the leader of the Guild turned to the group with a partially stern tone, asking after the detailed plan: “Can you give me a number really fast?” In response, the apparent guy with lacing numbers presented the first video meme: “I introduce 32.33 repetitions, of course the percentage of survival.” Never tell Leroy a chance, because then he said: “Times Up” and provided Battlecry over the centuries: “Leeeeeeeeeroy Jenkins !!!”

Shortly after charging from the AFK state, Leeroy Jenkins entered a handful of dragon eggs that stopped the chicks, killing everyone in the room. When the dust dropped a bit, Leeroy was secretive: “Damn it, Leeroy,” one said, the other added: “You moron.” Taking everything in the crotch, Leeroy replied with the words of wisdom: “At least I have chicken.”

Kotaku confirmed in 2017 That the beloved clip was staged as a comedy sketch by a friend for the guild of life after many speculations about her authenticity. Ben Vinson, a video recorder (not Leeroy himself), said: “We did not think that anyone would believe that it was true, we thought it was, of course, satires, but we were wrong.” It seems to me that everyone just wants to believe that charging the main in danger – chicken in your hand – is the best way to go down.
