Happy birthday Leeroy Jenkins

[pendell]

That video is ten years old today (http://metro.co.uk/2015/05/11/that-leeroy-jenkins-warcraft-video-is-ten-years-old-5192573/).

Respectfully,

Damnit, now I feel old. I was in college when I first saw that video.

Ten years?! Geez where is the time flying off to. :smalleek:

Parodied in Scrubs, of all places. I think "many dots" was a better video back then, but somehow Leeroy jumped it. Even though it was likely staged.

THAT'S A FIFTY ****ING DKP MINUS yeah Jenkins was staged. Someone freeze-framed the start of the video years ago and figured it out.

Hey, something doesn't have to be factual to be true! :smalltongue:

I've had similar enough things happen.

[Killer Angel]

It's the same day of my daughter's birthday. I have to decide if it's cool or worrying... :smalltongue:

I've had similar enough things happen.

Back when BC heroics were actually ridiculously difficult (like right after release) we had a warrior run into a room, AoE taunt, shield wall and last stand (since it was the only way to survive)...and then blow the AoE fear shout. That was when Shield wall was a 30 min cooldown too. While hilarious the waiting around afterwards was less fun :P

Also I messed that up. It's "many whelps" and "moar dots". The animated version of the video is so funny.

Just has to be entertaining on the internet. :smallbiggrin:

I don't think I've seen the animated version. Is it on Newgrounds or someplace?

I also just realized I still have the techno remix in one of my playlists. :P

To this day I use "we are going to DPS very, very slowly" in actual RPG strategy discussion. Or to make fun of myself for trying to play a tank in D&D.

When they posted it on the forums, they admitted to it being fake. People didn't want to believe it, though.

I wouldn't be surprised if the script for it was based off of something that happened either within the guild or with a PUG.

Honestly just leaving off the whole "33.33% repeating of course chance of survival" thing would have made the video much easier to believe. You can't crunch survival rates like that in WoW!

Didn't they say it was a reenactment of an event that actually happened but with funnier dialogue added in?

I always kind of suspected that, based on their laughing.

My favorite WoW video is, and likely will always be, Karazhan musical chairs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2f0aGMAx7w) (8 years old and that's not the original version).
