Funniest Video Game Stuff

Put the funniest things that you have encountered or done in a video game. Glitches, codes, etc.

I remember doing Toad's Turnpike on Mario Kart 64 on Mirror Mode. Always good for a laugh as you try to dodge the traffic coming at you.

Also good was the time me and my friend played Super Smash Bros using just Bob-ombs.

I also get a kick out of hitting the opponent lightly on Mortal Kombat when it says "FINISH HIM!" and watching them just fall backward.

Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey for the N64 was also good. There's a code you put in to mess with players' appearnce (big heads, small bodies, etc.) But when you change the size of the players, the announcer's voice changed as well. High-pitched announcer was absolutely hilarious!

more to come...

I always got a kick out of 007 Goldeneye cheats in facility:

fast 007
slow NPCs
invisibility mode

so, run around to find a scientist working on a computer:

Shoot the scientist in his extrimities, (hands feet etc) and soon, he will pull out a grenade and throw it in your general direction, which will concequently be near himself. run away, and he will blow up, and fly away. It's pretty funny

Spider-Man 2 is full of funny stuff. The game is pretty poorly made, but that only adds to the fun. I literally spent an hour playing with the ragdoll physics once. Spider Reflexes(Bullet Time) is great too, as slow motion is the ultimate comedy device.

And then there's the time I died, but Spider-Man got stuck and his ragdoll body was spazzing around for a good minute. I was in tears.

I am easily amused.

Turok the Dinosaur Hunter for N64, tiny enemy mode was great.

In Super Smash Bros I like hitting the characters with the home run bat and watching them fly into the screen's background with that *ting!* sound.

It's also funny when characters start running in different video games, and they get stuck. They will run into the wall and just keep running, staying in place.

Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey was an all-around great game -- even without the cheat codes. The super shots were hilarious, the announcer was great and the body checks in Arcade mode were absolutely outrageous...Plus, unlike other hockey games of recent memory, you could actually check your fellow teammates!

That, and Disco Mode. The whole jungle floor lit up like a dance floor and all the enemies just went absolutely apeshit crazy, bouncing all over the place in beat with the music. Good times, good times.

Yeah, nothing quite like setting the net on fire and checking your teammates. Truly one of the great arcade-style sports games.

Every sport game where you could have the High-Pitch cheat. Man, tears, only tears... and tons of laughters

Also, it sometimes happens in FPS games. You sometimes have glitches, like impact glitches where you, or the computer, can stay emprisoned in a wall or something.

I just remember when I was playing Unreal Tournament, and the computer would sometime get stuck in the wall, and keep making the sound you do when you jump, but at great speed. Man, that was a techno song on his own.

I always liked the little secert stuff in the first Spider-man game for the PS1 and N64. I think it was on DC too. Anyways haha yeha it was pretty funny. If you typed swear words into the cheats thing Spidey would pop up and punch it into a nice word. Like Lobster and Fluffy.

The curse word password trick on Spider-Man was another thing I liked.

If you remember Twisted Metal 3, there was some code you could put in where getting hit by certain attacks sends your car flying ridiculously far or high. I remember my friend got hit while using that code and his car went so high the game froze!

Also from Twisted Metal 2, I was using Minion (the big tank-looking one) and I was at Paris, where you can level the Eiffel Tower, and I got stuck in some corner and was there until the level was finished.

Ahh, glitches...

Has anyone ever played You Don't Know Jack for the PC? Aside from being one of the funniest and most entertaining party games around, every version of the game had tons of hidden easter eggs and hidden jokes...

...Like typing in "F*** You" during the Gibberish Questions. The host would proceed to berate you for doing so and then diminish your score by $100,000 or something. If each contestant typed it in one after another, the host would get more and more pissed and then shut off the game.

Absolutely hilarious.

True THAT!

There are so many funny little easter eggs and glitches in games it's impossible to name them all, but there is one recent thing that kills me.

Oblivion. Physics. System.

The amount of pure gold to be found from the physics system in Oblivion is just amazing.

In the Dreamcast version of Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX, I was testing out a park I created using rider Cory Nastazio, I believe. There was a glitch where I grinded a particular rail and the rider fell on the rail and got stuck on it. That caused the game to freeze. I think that was one of the few times I experienced a game freeze.

Also, the cheat on that game to play as Granny was pretty funny. I dunno -- there's something hysterical about playing as a granny riding a BMX bike and pulling off crazy tricks.

I'm not gonna forget being able to play as the Slim Jim Guy and the Amish Boy on Dave Mirra's Freestyle BMX 2. Those unlockable characters added so much to the game.

My friend killed Tony Hawk once. I don't remember which game it was. He and I were competing for a high score. He did a huge trick, and landed on Tony Hawk's head. Tony didn't get back up. It was pretty hilarious. I'm sure it was a glitch, but a funny glitch none the less.

In GTA:Liberty City Stories I put in a cheat that makes guys follow me then walk around and gather a big mob. Then, put in the cheat to give them weapons.After that i find a bus and load it with the guys and call it the BIG GAY BUS (BGB).I put in the big head cheat and proceed to behead people with my sword while my mob attacks people aswell.I guess the BGB and stuff isn't that funny (I have a bad sense of humor).I have too much time on my hands.........it makes me laugh though.Don't know why.......
