Template:TCGlore Leeroy Jenkins is a paladin of the Alliance. The character was created and inspired by the fan-made Leeroy Jenkins (video). Leeroy Jenkins was made an official character in the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game as an epic ally card, number 198.
Metzen was asked at San Diego Comicon if the character will ever appear in World of Warcraft: The Comic. He thought it was a good idea. Only time will tell if it ever happens.
The original player behind Leeroy Jenkins was invited for a guest appearance during BlizzCon 2007. On stage, he recited the war cry of "LEEEEEERRROYYYYY JENKKKIIINNNSS" to the delight of the audience. He was said to be available at the after-party to meet and greet fans.
Trivia
His card represents one of the more notable inclusions of fan-created content into the Warcraft universe, as the character and catchphrase are taken from a popular video.
He also has a miniature made of him. The miniature is holding in his off hand a chicken drumstick, a reference to his quote "at least I have chicken".
The term "Leeroy Jenkins" has found its way into mainstream entertainment in multiple ways. Here are some of those references:
- Jeopardy! (November 16, 2005) - During the college tournament, the $1,000 answer in the "Computer Gaming" category stumped the contestants when Leeroy Jenkins was referenced. Video Link
- My Name is Earl Season 4, Episode 8 Little Bad Voodoo Brother (October 30, 2008) - Randy goes to fight off a mob of about 30 people, and as he jumps off the porch into the mob, he yells "Leeroy Jenkins!"
- Scrubs Season 6, Episode 13, My Scrubs, Laverne Roberts is quoted saying "let's do this" and shouting out her name before smashing a car window to retrieve Turk and JD's stuffed dog.
Quotes
- Let's do this! (from the official card)
- "At least I have chicken." (unofficial quote from the video)
