kazi_saki · Dec 22, 2008, 10:45 AM // 10:45

I am clueless. God, help me please.

I hear his name in the forums and in-game like "time to leeroy" and stuff.

wasnt it a promotional video by blizzard? and thus fake , as in set up

Iuris · Dec 22, 2008, 11:13 AM // 11:13

Note that to "insiders", the video is a joke. It's supposed to mock over-planning so typical of MMORPG players. So, Leeeroy is supposed to be the "hero".

Anyway, not having played WoW, I wouldn't know.

haha just saw his vid it was awsome, so funny made my day.

subarucar · Dec 22, 2008, 12:25 PM // 12:25

I belive it was a set up mockery, rather than a true event.

ahah lol
that video is so cool, made me lmao, didnt know of it before.

Konig Des Todes · Dec 22, 2008, 01:05 PM // 13:05

Leeroy? Who cares about that WoW fan-dude.

KIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYY YYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!
SSSSSTOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEKIIIIIIIIIIN NNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!

Forgotton200 · Dec 22, 2008, 01:15 PM // 13:15

I honestly don't see any humor in Leeroy Jenkins. Someone tell me what's so funny about that video? All he does is run in and gets the party wiped. Or was that supposed to be the funny part?

I'm guessing theirs more meaning then what is shown on the video so could someone tell me why it's so funny?

Red Sand · Dec 22, 2008, 01:17 PM // 13:17

WoW Wiki

Their community Wiki. Gives the lowdown on Leeroy being AFK and coming back to ruin the extensive plans of his team. Despite claims otherwise, it's pretty clear that it was staged.

But just because it was staged doesn't mean it wasn't true.

The comedy for me is how the team spends like the first 12 minutes outside the dungeon discussing hit percentages, buff order, and tactics... then this dude just screams his own name, charges in, aggros everything in the room and gets his party blowed up!

Without the scream, it's just a funny parody of how people take WoW too seriously, but the "Leeeeeeeroy Jeeeeeenkiiiiiiins" makes it a classic.

Ah I see. I guess being told that the video was staged prior to watching the vid blew it for me.

Leeroy plays in GW. I'm sure I have had him in some of the PUG groups I have joined. LOL.......
