Interview: Leeroy Jenkins

Click To Play

We have more BlizzCon 07 footage that’s going to come out, but I couldn’t resist publishing this interview now! FYI, there’s an F-word thrown in during some of the game footage, so it might be NSFW for some of you. For those that don’t know, Leeroy is definitely the most infamous WoW celebrity/character in the history of the game! For more info on Leeroy, see his page at Mahalo. Thanks to Tyler and Conrad for putting this together!

UPDATE: Yes, I know it’s fake. Yes, I knew it at the time. Do I care? Not really. The Internet is serious business, folks.

Aw, it’s nice to see some of Veronica during her hiatus. Good interview, I never quite understood the whole Leeroy Jenkins thing until now, since I’m not a gamer and never quite cared to understand it. Enlightening.

I remember going into Arathi Basin last Thanksgiving. Turns out that Paladin wearing the girly tabard was beefed out big time. Fear Leeroy. He’ll nail you in about 2 or 3 hits.

#36 written by Jim Gleeson 4 years ago

Some reason everytime I hear the name Leroy Jenkins reminds me of the movie Boomarang where Eddie Murphy is talking about Spock..and said that Spocks last name was Jenkins.

Quote
#37 written by Adam 4 years ago

Uh, yeah, it’s cool that you met Leeroy and all and showed us what he looks like, and you’re hot and all, but this really isn’t much of an interview. I mean, why not answer the questions about the video that we were all wondering about (i.e., it’s obviously a fake.. Did it really happen? was this a re-enactment or just something that was staged?)

I laughed hard at this video. Too bad it was a setup.

Quote
#43 written by Ptrain 4 years ago

too bad the whole leroy jenkins thing was set up, it was all planned and pretty much the stupidest thing i have ever seen, no group in their right minds would have taken that path in UBRS, so yeah good job

Your silent laugh about 10-15 seconds was soooo cute — like when kittens do those little silent meows — cute overload! ;D Anyway, looks like you’re having fun at Mahalo, Veronica — have a good one!
