Thanks to Leeroy Jenkins, Jeopardy jumped the shark completely. Alex Trebek later hung himself.

Once upon a time, in an obscure game called World of Warcraft, there was a party that was about to go on a raid. The party was planned meticulously; each member knew his or her place in the plan, which according to one member had a 32.3333(3)% chance of succeeding.

Then, all of a sudden, one member of the party, a young upstart named Leeroy Jenkins, decided to run into the dungeon with a feral cry which rivalled that of Howard Dean himself, leading a foolhardy but brave charge against his foes; his party soon followed him, and a great battle was fought.

Pwned had never been so well-defined.

Then, a most miraculous thing happened: Someone uploaded a video, complete with Ventrilo conversation, to the internets. Soon all the world was made aware of Leeroy's foolishness. Photoshops were made; samples were remixed; YTMND collectively orgasmed. The phenomenon spread across the world, and for a time all were united in laughter at LEROOOOOY MNNJEEEENKIIIINS!



Followers charging into battle.

And there was even drama: WoW nerds got to argue endlessly about why the strategy was good/bad, and whether the video was done for the lulz or not, thanks to the half-hour long planning session included in the video.

But all crap things must pass. Leeroy became officially old meme on November 3, 2005, a full twenty minutes after the video was first uploaded, but at least he has chicken.
