About

4 Strength 4 Stam Leather Belt is a quote originating from a World of Warcraft player under the identity of "Joe." Online, the phrase is typically utilized in various remixes (as seen in Leather Belt Remixes) Ventrilo-related humor and occasionally utilized as an example stereotype of common W.o.W. players.

History

In 2007, during an unsuspecting World of Warcraft session, a player by the name of Joe was on a Ventrilo server with his guild, performing and communicating various tasks via a microphone. When VideoCompiler (a then-famous Ventrilo Harassment producer) hacked into their guild server, he recorded the variety voices of everyone speaking in the server. In one of those voice clips, Joe had been caught humorously stating, "Ah dude; 4 stam four strength leather belt?!? AUGHH! Level 18? Ughaughhh." (The belt that Joe had been referring to was an in-game item called the "Forest Leather Belt")[1] After recording the leather belt quote, VideoCompiler produced a Ventrilo Harassment video, with Joe and the other server members subject to a trolling attempt by reacting to the spamming of the quote.[2]

Spread

After the video became an unexpected success, Joe became unofficially known as the "World of Warcraft Nerd," and as such, various individuals attempted to find him with no known success. On April 30, 2008, the first known non-VideoCompiler related use of the quote was referenced under the top definition for the phrase "leather belt" on the Urban Dictionary.[3] Considering the rather humorous nature of the quote, it began to be utilized in various W.o.W. videos and musical remixes.

Leather Belt Remixes

Leather Belt Remixes refer to the YTPMV-esque content involving the mixing of Joe's Leather Belt quote. On March 23, 2008, the earliest-known of these popular remixes to appear was the "Leather Belt Song" by YouTuber HellboundDochi, released during the height of Ventrilo Harassment popularity.[4]

With the popularity of HellboundDochi's remix, from the end of 2008, to as late as 2013, various other YouTubers were creating their own remixes, primarily utilizing the Leather Belt as a source.
