What the?? Fill me in, since I'm obviously out of the loop on this one. Who is Leeroy Jenkins (I watched the video of him rushing in and killing everybody... but is it just common knowledge that he's retarded or something?)

Basically any time someone does something retarded in a game, like run into a room full of epic mobs...alone... they're referred to as Leeroy Jenkins. Even moreso, when it ends up getting your whole group/raid party creamed.

LMAO! that is just too funny. You know some question maker put that it just to have a little fun.

I had no idea who Leroy Jenkins was, until I saw this thread and my curiosity brought me to find said video. And let me tell you, I was damn near on the ground laughing!!!

I saw the video before, but how the hell did a question like that get on Jeopardy?! and I wonder when that aired...it's sure is damn hilarious.

Not sure if this was posted before, but I finally got the Leeroy reference: http://www.alldumb.com/item/11855/

lol, great find Yak!

OMG that is hilarious!!! Now if only Leeroy were a hunter and coulda feigned! Now that would have been classic.

LOL and did anyone notice that none of them knew the answer? The look on their faces was priceless. I wouldn't have known the answer either, but it was funny to see them get the deer in the headlights look.

The whole Leroy Jenkins name may have screwed me up too.

Oh I KNOW it would have messed me up but I've just come to accept the fact that people who make it on Jeopardy know a lot more random tidbits of information than I do. I've seen more obscure questions get answered.

Yak was wearing that shirt the last time we had beers!
