What is Leeroy Jenkins? How a Joke Among Friends Birthed an Internet Legend

by devaccess



Imagine it’s 2005 and you’re sitting in your college dorm room after a night of drinking 40s, about to login into World of Warcraft.

Your exams are done and now it’s time to fuck up some yetis with the guild you and your friends made.

But you quickly run into a problem: you need more people. So what do you do ?

Well if you’re like Ben Schulz and his friends, you might stage an epic fail and inadvertently spawn one of the internet’s original memes.

Even after all these years, it's still popular. Quite sad the real guy can't make money out of this.

"And you just keep one upping each other! Do you have any idea how many of you have died screaming 'Leeroy Jenkins'? More than one, and as far as I'm concerned, that's grounds to exterminate the entire species!"

Feels good to be born at a time where screaming "Leeeeeeeroooooooy Jeeeeeeenkiiiiins!" before dying was both idiotic and heroic.

Favorite video yet. I remember when I first saw the video. And I loved it. So glad to see the voice behind Leeroy is well.

I remember back in the day when this came out, there were lots of debates over whether or not he said "At least I have chicken" or "At least I ain't chicken." Anyone else remember those early days discussion? Everyone in the comments seems to not remember the confusion, lol. Fun to see that it apparently is "At least I have chicken."

Never even played WoW in my entire life, became what they call a PC master race, still a millenial who only seeks for a fun and happyness. Or you could just say i am such a shame as a human.
But i do belive before our era, 80s and 90s were still better than 00s in most ways. That is why i miss the old times even i wasn't even born in the time.
