So far my best Leeroy Jenkins moment was on Saints Row 2, I decided to punch a pimp and at least twenty of his buddies (all pimps) jump up out of nowhere and started chasing my around the town while ripping up STOP signs, garbage cans and anything else they else could get their hands on, I finally ran to a bridge that had the train rails on it and jumped on a motorbike, I saw a train coming down the tracks and ran right into it while yelling "LEEEEERRRROYYYYYYY JJJEENKKINNSSSSSSS!!!!" my motorbike blew up causing the train to derail itself which then careened into all the pimps that were still chasing me. There were no survivors.
WAAAHG!!! until further notice

Any moment of 1v10+ defense in Alterac Valley or Twin Peaks. My favorite thing to do was blow all cooldowns in an attempt to kill the opponent's tank before anyone can react and then watch the NPCs run rampant and one shot everyone. Didn't work all that frequently, but when it did it was hilarious even though I died pretty much every time I tried that unless I was a rogue or mage.
Years ago while playing in a high level raid EverQuest and using an automated combat macro for my toon, I once broke mez repeatedly, on some very tough mobs that had to be killed sequentially and very carefully, with lots of healing, about 19 times in a row, while I was innocently AFK making a plate of nachos for about 20 minutes.
It completely halted the raid and in EQ, there could be a lot of people in a raid. This one had about 130 people (zerging!) and everyone's attention was completely focused on me, with dozens and dozens of people screaming at me and saying some very hard words against me indeed.
Needless to say I was pretty horrified when I returned to my computer with my delicious nachos, and was shortly (and forcibly) removed from the raid. I still laugh about that to this day, it was hilarious in retrospect. Although after the incident I didn't log in for a while!

Playing vanilla WoW back in the day I joined my first ever raid. We just dropped the burrowing worm boss and everybody took ten to fix gear, get food, whatever. Ive never been in AQ before, let alone a raid. So I run over to this NPC to talk to him. How could I know that simply by talking to him the giant gate behind him opens and we get swarmed by bugs?!?
About two thirds of the raid ragequit. Nobody even knew who started the event luckily, and I wasnt talking.
It wasn't something I specifically did in a game, but the time when Haggard single-handedly invaded a neutral country in BF:BC1 always struck me as rather Leeroy Jenkin-ish.
