Why is there a citation request for Leeroy Jenkins? The link to the Leeroy Jenkins article should suffice, no? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.231.155.84 ( talk) 18:04, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
Not even the 11 page review at Television Without Pity mentioned this. I seriously doubt any mainstream critic will see or mention the connection. Seems like the DVD commentary is all that might be left to show it was not just a coincidence. -- Horkana ( talk) 16:40, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
Anonymous IP editors continue to add this claim, usually without even a link to the Wikipedia page explaining Leroy Jenkins and at no stage has any source be provided to show this is not anything more than coincidental. I remain skeptical of this but particularly since the anonymous editors have made little effort to discuss or explain this obscure reference of dubious notability, which makes it look like they are not even trying to find a source. There will come a point where I will move on to other articles and it seems the anonymous editors are determined to keep adding this point back. At the very least link to the article Leeroy Jenkins and be labeled as citation needed, as it really does need a better source. -- Horkana ( talk) 22:58, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
Remove again
I removed it mostly because it was already disputed but also because it is WP:PEACOCK and hyperbole to claim this minor meme as a "massive internet phenomenon" when no one has provided any references to show this is anything more than coincidence, not to mention a reference that claims it is notable. Also Leeroy Jenkins is not a even character but a fictional player. -- Horkana ( talk) 15:27, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
The name is an inside joke related to the title. When appearing on set, all actors have to sign in according to SAG rules. Mel Gibson does so as "Phil McKraken." Someone with more time than I do currently needs to find a source, but there's no way an episode named after one Lethal Weapon character could by coincidence have another named for after this joke. 24.24.244.132 ( talk) 05:24, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
I removed this bit
and it was restored. I removed it not because it lacked a citation -- I see it pretty clearly -- but because it is, in fact, useless trivia. I'd appreciate the restoring editor (or anyone) offering some evidence of this being part tof significant commentary, and not just trivia about a prop decision. i.e. please answer the question, "So what?" -- EEMIV ( talk) 06:02, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
In the scene in McKraken's office, it can be seen that many entries of the "ALL TIME HIGH SCORES" are Barney's (bad quality video, so can't say if it's all of them). I'm pretty sure it doesn't fit as a cultural reference but don't think a section would be relevant either. If anyone wants to add this in the article...

Crossposting from Lethal Weapon (film series): There is a category for catchphrases. I've seen multiple references to the catchphrase " I'm getting too old for this shit" this week. The Supernatural S5 episode Good God Y'all! features an old African-American hunter saying "I'm getting too old for this". The episode of How I met your mother, Murtaugh, ( Murtaugh (How I Met Your Mother) ) also features it prominently. Where else has it been used? How many uses do we need for it to be notable? samwaltz ( talk) 17:25, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
