No self respecting world of warcraft player can say they havent seen or even heard of Leroy Jenkins. For those of you who are thinking wtf who is this Leroy Jenkins? the you’ve come to the right place. Without a shadow of a doubt this is the funniest world of warcraft youtube video.
Picture the scene, you’re on a high level raid with your guild. There’s about 10 of you waiting to enter a room full of about 100 million Elite Mobs ( i forget the mob, but its massive!). Anyway you’re all outside doing your best impression of Julius Ceaser before he sends forth his armies against the barbarian scum planning who should go where, what buffs should be used, what should and shouldnt be done. We’ve all been there, its a necesity to make sure you have the correct tactic. As you know the walk from the nearest GY is about 1 hour. SO you have to nail this in one go.
So you’ve all planned what it is you need to do. You’re ready to bring death to the enemy when out of nowhere one of you breaks rank and runs into the room guns blazing. A bold move that shouldnt be repeated. Needless to say Leroy Jenkins - or Leeeeeeeroooooooyyyyy Jeeeeennnnnnkkkkkkiiiinnnnssss as the shout is more commonly known - did exactly that. His guild get absolutely battered.
Jeroy Jenkins is now a world of warcraft icon. Getting VIP treatment at blizzcon and actually having his own trading card. Don’t believe me?
So next time you’re about to deal death to the enemy make sure you dont have you’re very own Leroy Jenkins
