Leeroy Jenkins began as a 2005 World of Warcraft gameplay video in which a player, after his group spent minutes planning a careful attack, shouted his character's name and charged alone into a crowded room. The clip spread quickly across gaming forums and early video sites, becoming one of the first widely shared gaming memes. Blizzard later referenced the moment inside World of Warcraft itself, and the name became shorthand for reckless bravery. It remains popular because the setup is instantly recognisable to gamers and newcomers alike, even without knowing the original raid.

The Leeroy Jenkins battle cry from World of Warcraft, shouted before a reckless charge into battle. Creators use it for chaotic entrances and doomed plans.
This clip captures the moment a World of Warcraft player shouts his own name, Leeroy Jenkins, in a loud, drawn-out battle cry before rushing headfirst into a room full of enemies. The voice is energetic, confident and almost gleeful, rising in pitch as the shout stretches out, followed by the sounds of combat breaking out around him. It works because the confidence is completely misplaced, turning a serious raid plan into instant chaos. Listeners instantly recognise the reckless enthusiasm, making it a perfect shorthand for charging ahead without thinking, ignoring a plan, or committing to a terrible idea with total conviction.
