Leonard Briggs is an elderly man who is studying business at Greendale Community College. He and Jeff have a comically antagonistic relationship and both take billiards for PE credit. Though noticeably older than the other students at Greendale, he acts in as reckless and laid-back a fashion as most young adults, often using slang and engaging in such activities as playing pranks and bass guitar and encountering “pregnancy scares”. He leads a rowdy, disobedient band of elderly Greendale students called the “Hipsters” (because they all apparently have hip replacements), which Pierce temporarily joins. He has children, though they are never seen on camera. In the season two finale he claims to have been one of the Little Rascals, to have been in “few real wars” and to have been banned from the Denny’s near the fifteen exit. During the student election episode from Season Two, he ran for office, using the surname “Rodriguez” in an attempt to court the Latino vote. It is revealed in an episode from Season Three that Leonard still has the last name Rodriguez in a title card. Leonard has a series of videos on YouTube in which he reviews frozen pizzas. One such video is shown in a closing scene, where he declares Euginio’s Four Cheese Pizza to be “a buy.”

In the episode “Pillows and Blankets” it was revealed the Leonard fought in the Korean War for the North Koreans.
