@@brabbelbeest hmm, I heard running with scissors is bad, but what about running with Chicken?

[@craig725]

Leeroy is playing a plate wearing class, Paladin. That boss is optional and dropped the priest shoulders which paladins could wear. They were planning what to do (if you touched the eggs the spawn dragon whelps) and he just charged in screaming his name and wiped the whole party. I know you’ve already recorded a bunch, but for Halloween I definitely recommend PlatinumWow’s video on the HeadlessHorseman ( yes real life Hollidays are in the game)

[@evenmoor]

Furthermore, the very-detailed plan that the raid leader is discussing before Leeroy just ran in...? It's completely nonsensical if you know what that encounter is like and what the mentioned abilities do. Divine Intervention, for instance, puts a bubble of invincibility on a targeted ally (and took them out of combat) at a cost of the paladin's life. Also, the ally in question can't attack or cast spells for the duration. Using it on a mage is absurd. It was normally used on a healer if the raid was about to wipe, so the healer could resurrect everyone after the encounter reset. In short, to regular World of Warcraft players, this video is an absolutely hilarious parody of hard-core raiding guilds. As a footnote, the real Leeroy Jenkins appears in person in the "15 Years of World of Warcraft" celebration video.

It's a much simpler joke than it initially seems. Basically these guys are all planning thoroughly--very serious about this, and their probabilities and whatever. And then Leeroy basically just wakes up, and charges into battle with nothing but a battle-cry & chicken. They're forced to join him in the fight, and whatever plan they were brewing up goes RIGHT out the window. Basically, their whole adventure into the dungeon was ended by 1 guy being really hilariously stupid, and way too eager. Here's a short, based on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJuVY3eYh9R0hq8

[@Mystrasun]

Classic :D wasn't expecting you to react to this! An explanation of the skit if you'll appreciate it: High level characters in World of Warcraft can decide to group up to tackle some of the hardest dungeons in the game. At the time of that comedy sketch, Leeroy and co were about to do one of the hardest of the hardest, but while the group was discussing tactics, leeroy was ostensibly away from his computer making chicken, and when he got back, he decided to charge in xD The rest of the group tried to carry the plan out while trying to do some last ditch efforts: Divine Intervention (a particular type of player can sacrifice themself to protect the MVP) and Soul stones (a particular type of player can preemptively reserve themselves or another player so if they die, they can bring themselves back to life) but none of these were enough to save the group. throughout the ordeal, Leeroy ran round the dungeon room causing all the dragons to hatch (careful players can move around the eggs to avoid engaging them), which of cause overwhelmed the group and caused everyone to die (wipe). but at least he had chicken :D

craig r did a pretty good job of explaining the general situation, but there are a few bits of lingo you may not be familiar with; AOE- stands for "area of effect," the abbreviation is used to refer to any spell or ability that affects an area instead of a single target. Intimidating shout- an ability that causes a temporary fear effect among nearby enemies, causing them to run away for a few seconds divine intervention- classic.wowhead.com/spell=19752/divine-intervention causes the target to stop taking damage for a bit, but neither they nor the caster can move or take action for the duration

[@winterjose]

Nunca había visto tanta confusión y alegría en el mismo video, como siempre un excelente y alegre video

[@clownzzz4837]

Dungeon raids are all about teamwork where everyone has to do their part. Your group could spend hours dying ('wiping') on the same boss before you got it right. One person could get everyone killed. Just an FYI: A standard dungeon requires a tank (the person who must 'hold aggro'), the healer (the person who keeps everyone alive) and three dps (the people who do the majority of damage). Holding aggro is creating a high threat so all the baddies attack you and not the other players. The big raids use to have 40 players, which was a lot of fun.

[@clownzzz4837]

@Robertson Thirdly Yes.

[@jmb72390]

From the looks of confusion on your face basically Leeroy Jenkins was a World of Warcraft skit that turn into a viral meme and is a reference a trope used today basically it's what happens when a person who stupidly idiotically goes out of his way to not listen to but also screw up a perfectly laid out plan to extremely difficult but manageable problem basically a person that does more damage than good by not listening or in other words a person that makes a bad situation worse than it is and wind up getting his whole squad or team killed in the process the meme/ Trope became so popular that the Army uses it as an example while training new recruits in strategy

[@mrblackdx]

Ok real talk, considering the current "situation" we are all in worldwide, I really recommend you check out a video talking about the famous World of Warcraft Corrupted Blood incident (or read about it). Today I Found Out's video is pretty good detailing it.

[@envectushdgaming5882]

Leeroy is funny because he's that one guy that is in every world of Warcraft Raid group that runs in and does something stupid that gets everyone killed this became so popular that they added the title Jenkins to the game so that you can run around with that name on the end of your character's name so for example say your name is lightheart it would be lightheart Jenkins. During warlords of draenor they added a quest to the game in one of the dungeons where you escort Leeroy through this dungeon to get his devout shoulders you have to kill everything before he runs through and makes everything attack you.

[@JeffOf813]

It's so good because even people who have never played WOW hear about it and then the build up is just you watching a bunch of guys take it so seriously and nerding out so hard, especially to anyone who has never played a game this involved, and then a classic idiotic tv joke trope happens and you watch everyone die because of it... It's perfect LMAO.

[@mathewcooper8505]

Ooh! The legendary leeroy jenkins!! Very cool. Good luck on the next novel; sounds like you’re making good progress

[@NegativeDumpster]

Part of the joke of the original Leeroy Jenkins video, is: The plan the group made (Casting Divine Intervention on their mages, and knocking back the Whelps with Intimidating Shout) was *BATSHIT INSANE,* and doomed to fail from the start. First, Divine Intervention: Nowadays, it simply saves the life of a Paladin if they take a hit that would've killed them. But back then, Divine Intervention *instantly killed* the Paladin who used it, and put a shield on the ally they targeted. The ally in question would be completely invincible, but unable to move or attack. The intended use of Divine Intervention was: If you knew you were about to wipe (A "wipe" means everybody in your party is dead, as in "wiped out"), you'd have a Paladin cast Divine Intervention on, for example, a Priest. The Priest could then resurrect the party (Since resurrection abilities technically aren't "attacks", Divine Intervention didn't block them). Because of this, casting Divine Intervention on a Mage was *absolutely stupid.* Because not only did it take one of your Paladins (a character who could both soak up damage and cast some extra healing spells) out of the fight, but when cast on a Mage, it basically paralyzed them (No attacks = no damage being dealt, and Mages are *built* to deal damage). Second, Intimidating Shout: The plan discussed in the video was for one of the Warriors to use Intimidating Shout (An ability that forces low-level enemies to run away from you for a few seconds); after that, another Warrior would use Intimidating Shout, and then a third Warrior would do the same. At that point, the first Warrior would Shout again; rinse, and repeat. The thing is, though: This would only keep the Whelps (You know the swarm of flying monsters that killed everyone in the video? Those were Whelps) away from the party for a short while, before dumping even more on them. Finally, the plan was *completely unnecessary* to begin with: The Whelps only spawned if you ran over their eggs. A competent party wouldn't need such an overly convoluted and counterproductive plan in the first place, as they could simply *not break the eggs.* And if you watch the original video, the player who's recording does *nothing but* stomp on the eggs. So, in conclusion: While Leeroy's actions may have hastened their defeat, the party was going to get themselves killed anyway due to their own asinine plan. Edit: Fixed a few typos.

[@atholkay4172]

It's the dragon whelp egg room in Upper Blackrock Spire. Basically if you touch the eggs in the room, they burst open and create a dragon whelp. If you're a bunch of idiots, you chaotically run about like tools and spawn whelp after whelp, the group gets overwhelmed and everyone dies. The boss is at the end of the room, so you have to carefully make your way to them. It's an optional boss, and 99% of groups just skip it because the loot is bad and it's a painful room. The only reason the group attempts the room, is because Leeroy wants an extremely sub-optimal for him piece of loot from the boss. The group makes a plan to deal with the room, and Leeroy isn't even listening as he's getting food delivered. He returns to his computer and immediately runs into the room and aggros basically everything. The group as a result gets completely wiped and everyone dies. But at least Leeroy has his hot chicken. Thus to "Leeroy Jenkins" something, means to run in without a plan, armed with little more than your overconfidence. It's like a Hail Mary in football, except you do it right at the start of the game when there's absolutely no need to, and you lose the entire game if it fails. Which it usually does lol.

It's obviously a set up skit for that particular room. It's just a room with a ton of dragon eggs inside and a bunch of decent larger enemies, the lizard centaur dudes, that your group has to progress through on the way to the boss of the whole particular dungeon/raid. It's actually a tough room to get through if you're group is trying to speed run given there is so many enemies inside that you have to fight all at once, basically. Not to mention, there is an in-game achievement for beating that room quickly and at this point I believe the achievement references Leeroy Jenkins, if I recall.

[@jhanna9680]

Lol! I never saw the entire video before. That was Great! Thanks 😊 Just subscribed yesterday

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

Thank youuuuu

[@arjanvuik2004]

Ah, yes, Leeroy Jenkins. I remember when going into the Rookery, our guild/party would all yell LEEEERRRROOYYY JENKINNNNSSS!!! Good times!

[@deangeloellis729]

They were planning out a boss fight in the next room, the raid leader was giving the game plan on how to not wipe but Leeroy was AFK (probably went to grab some chicken) so before the raider leader could finish Leeroy came back and jumped the gun and hauled ass into the room and the rest of the team who wasn't prepared got wiped out hilariously.

[@Ipixel4]

Internet historian made an amazing documentary on Leeroy

[@caynidar6295]

Okay, so the gag is that there's a group trying to get past a very infamous encounter and they've been dying to it and "Leeroy" decides to go get something to eat while they're discussing and gameplanning out how to beat it, then he just comes back and runs into the fight, killing the group yet again. It became a meme about foolhardy and senseless behavior that ends in disaster. It's thought that it was actually staged but even if it is it's just hilariously funny, especially if you have any experience in playing in groups. It's spread way beyond even WoW, like the term zerging spread beyond Starcraft.

[@sylverlokkshinbreaker6090]

It's basically a commentary on how in a raid with multiple working parts and strategies there is always one chucklehead who isn't paying attention and wipes the group. To really understand this joke you have to be a raider and understand all the BS that entailed.

[@sylverlokkshinbreaker6090]

Also fearing anything in there is bad moves because each egg that is moved near creates a new dragon.

[@firestickchill4404]

LEEROYYYYYYYYYYY JENKINS!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mobiushelldoctor1423]

I love how you progressively go from I don't understand the joke to this is the funniest shit I've ever seen

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 legit.

[@carlosmorales8768]

The most recent leeroy appearance was in the WoW 15th anniversary video along with some other celebrities that are fans of WoW and even Sylvana's voice actress in case you want to watch it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3TRYmeBgaiYqLs

[@Mavelleana]

You should react to some of the Legion ingame cinematics Example:broken shore Edit:there are horde and alliance pov

[@possibl3faun641]

I learned something new! I also did not know of this Leeroy Jenkins. I like your video! keep up the good work! I check out your work!

[@LittleVillage24]

I feel so old watching this but I love it.

[@valashar5313]

I'd hoped they'd include the Mass Effect version of Leeroy, an extra party member, Private L. Jenkins that is part of your group in the first battle but dies in the first combat cutscene.

[@mathisirondil]

Nanowrimo helped me finish my first book, but it was way too stressful and ended up just making me hate writing. I'm sure it's useful for some people, but I need to be able to write at my own pace! lol.

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

Totally agree. Thats why I am doing my own version. I dont think I could ever just sit down and bang on my key board.

[@HappyMcPunchface]

Good luck this month, don't burn yourself out!

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

Thank you!

[@donwild50]

The player who is running the character Leeroyy Jenkins is way over on the left side of the screen. If you look at him at the beginning, he's marked "AFK"...he's not at the keyboard when the leader of the group is explaining their strategy and plans....and when the fight starts, he totally ignores (or is ignorant of) everything that has been said. He simply blindly charges in without any concept of what the other players have planned and his actions get the whole party wiped. This kind of behavior is really common in a lot of multiplayer games and the "LEEROOYY JENKINNNSS!" blind charge has become a trope. Whenever one character's actions completely destroy the careful tactics the rest of the party has set up, it's become known as a "Leroy Jenkins!!" moment.

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

Hahahahahaha I didn't notice that hilarious.

[@evanflynn4680]

It's spread even further. Author Aleron Kong has his main character and his best friend yell it towards the end of book 7 of his The Land series. It's a litrpg/gamelit series that transports the main character into a world that is run on gaming rules with character and item stats, levels, quests, etc.

[@karelpetr]

Since you like it, you should see "A Toast to 15 Years" music video celebrating 15 years of World of Warcraft, and the launch of WoW Classic. With cameos including Kristian Nairn (Hodor), Ronda Rousey (wrestler and actress), Patty Mattson (voice actor of Sylvanas), Ben Schulz (the man, the myth, the legend himself) and many others. I know you are bussy right now, it doesn't have to to be reaction video, just something for your enjoyment. :)

[@EmptyGoat]

That channel has a lot of good videos if you're interested in current or history of esports. I very much recommend Evo Moment 37: The Daigo Parry. The greatest moment in competitive gaming.

[@NGjnr]

If I am not mistaken the meme was also used by Toyota in a commercial.

[@vicmanpergar]

Leroy Jenkins is a Legend!!

[@xheralt]

Detailed plans, derailed by one impulsive dude. That's all you need to understand.

[@TheMrBugio]

If you know anything about vanilla wow, you know that the tactic they were discussing makes absolutely no sense, in fact leeroy did the right thing of pulling a few mobs and head back to the group

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

I believe the whole think is a skit tho...

[@Celticshade]

boy this is, wow. raiding was incredibly serious back in the day.

[@Dhaem16]

My favorite bit of internet meme/gaming history :D

[@paareth]

Should do more gaming memes. The earliest ones were Do a Barrel Roll and All your base are belong to us. (Worded like that).
