Leeroy Jenkins was mentioned as part of a clue on the November 16, 2005 episode of the game show Jeopardy! as part of their college week tournament, though no contestant answered correctly.

A presentation at the 2005 “Aesthetics of Play” conference at the University of Bergen described Leeroy as the “one icon of the WoW player, one movie from the game that most people have seen.”[3]

A strip of the comic FoxTrot showcased Jason Fox about to receive an incredibly powerful item (much more powerful than the actual most powerful item in the game), but is disconnected from the server. It cuts to Blizzard’s headquarters where one character asks “Jenkins” if he had tripped over a wire again. On a side note, the weapon that he was about to receive was called ‘Doomulus Prime’, which was later added to the game (albeit much weaker than the version that was in the strip).

Leeroy has recently been added to the Upper Deck World of Warcraft Trading Card Game (TCG). The card was drawn by Mike Krahulik, the artist who draws the webcomic Penny Arcade.[4] The card has a special ability that comes into play if the player calls out Leeroy’s battle cry.

The Marvel Comics series Runaways, Vol. 3 #18, Victor Mancha applies the name to Chase Stein as he charges head long into a burning building.

In Mega Man Battle Network 6, a man looking at a jellyfish tank in the aquarium states “The right jellyfish is Leeroy. The left is Jenkins.”

In the South Park episode “Make Love, Not Warcraft”, some of the words that Cartman uses when they start the final battle are quotes from the video, such as when he says, “Cast Intimidating Shout.” He says this in the same matter-of-fact tone of the video’s narrator. In the same episode a character appears named Jenkins. Lastly, at the end of the credits, the Leeroy Jenkins voice is heard saying “it’s not my fault!”

In the The Real World: Denver episode “Davis vs. Tyrie”, Tyrie states that one of his alter-egos is named Leeroy Jenkins.[5]

Various commercials for Spike TV’s promotion of their Video Game Awards had a group of office employees discussing their work in a manner similar to the video complete with “Crunches some numbers” giving a “Repeating, of course” references, when another named “Leeroy” becomes alert, yells “LEEEERROOOY!!” and causes mischief before he runs off. One of the other three employees, each with their own commercial then says the famous “Damn it, Leeroy.”

On February 13, 2007, Howard Stern found and played audio from the YouTube video on his radio show. Artie Lange would continue throughout the show to use the line “Lemme get a quick number crunch…”
