Leeroy Jenkins originated in a 2005 World of Warcraft video shared by the guild Pals for Life, where player character Leeroy suddenly returns, shouts his name and charges into a room full of enemies, wiping his entire raid group. The staged clip spread rapidly in early internet gaming culture and turned the name into shorthand for heroic recklessness. It has since been referenced in games, shows and memes for years, remaining one of the most recognisable battle cries from online multiplayer history.

Leeroy Jenkins is the famous World of Warcraft battle cry where a player shouts his name and charges in, used for reckless all-in gaming moments.
This short clip is the legendary Leeroy Jenkins battle cry from World of Warcraft, where a player yells his own character name at full volume before charging straight into battle. The delivery is loud, chaotic and completely overconfident, turning a normal raid call into an instant joke about ignoring the plan. It lasts only a few seconds but the energy is unmistakable, with the drawn out name becoming a rallying cry for anyone about to do something reckless, impulsive and probably doomed, whether in a game or in real life.
