It’s hard to remember, but there was a time when the name “Leeroy Jenkins” didn’t elicit knowing nods and sage murmurs among every living human on the planet. But it’s true: It was 11 years ago today that an impetuous World Of Warcraft player was caught on camera bellowing his name, storming into battle, and getting himself and his entire team killed in a glorious mélange of chaos brought on by his impulsive action. Today we honor that fallen hero by watching—some of us for the 11,000th time—the beautiful behavior that sent him plunging forever into the annals of meme history.
That was funny how hes like “Okay, times up!” And after he dose his famous cry he runs in like no tomorrow.
gather round kids as I teach you the story behind leeroy jenkins. there are many who say the video we all know and love is a recreation based on the actual event, but whether you believe that or not the fact is leeroy jenkins did run into that room and did aggro those eggs. but why did leeroy do it? was he really just dumb and impulsive? nope. he had a good reason. you see his family was settling in to have some delicious food, and his favorite chicken dish was being served. he wanted that chicken, but he also didn’t want to miss the raid. so rather than excusing himself for a while to grab his favorite food, he rushed in, shouting his own name, and wiped the whole group instead, forcing the raid to grind to a halt. this is why at the end of the video you can hear him say “at least I have chicken”
