Anyways, I'll go with all the friendly characters from HL2 that don't seem to mind me standing on their head or shooting them.
The monopoly that was for windows 95/98.
The game's AI was put into .AI files. I scribbled something in MS Paint, called it jerkface.ai and the game actually accepted it.
Poor jerkface never actually bought any properties.

Maybe its because new games are so much more complex than old games. AI's would have a much easier time navigating barren, rectangular halways than, say, a jungle full of rocks and trees. And there are a lot of other reasons like that. A good AI these days would need to be able to do so much, it's a programmers nightmare.Akai Shizuku said:
Fallout 3 AI is pretty bad. I was beating the Overseer to death and his guard was just standing there watching me. Also, during the entire first section you're meant to play it stealthily, but I found I could casually stroll around and the guards wouldn't notice me at all.
Crysis- the Koreans drown themselves in the sea. Oh, and sharks that COME OUT to the land and chase you. Fun!
GTA- it's like they want to be shot.
Other people in multiplayer games.

Sheva seems to get a lot of crap but I had no problems with her, I finished the game on professional with the ai controlling her and she died 4 times TOTAL, I'd actually trust the ai to cover me far more than I'd trust my little brother 
The ai for Morrowind was terrible *shudders*, you could position yourself ontop of a rock and poke every enemy to death with a spear as they ran directly into that rock. Followers were completely pointless, you couldn't run three paces without them falling off something, getting stuck in the ground or like dying randomly.
Oh and ai and unit pathing in Dawn of War... but the less that is mentioned of that the better

Force Commander on DoW2's campaign can be pretty funny (and by funny I mean downright annoying). You ALWAYS want to make him a close combat type, and thus you deck him out as so...but as soon as he's done killing the exact enemy in that squad you clicked on, he just halts, kneels over and starts firing his pistol.
Fucking game...
That's one thing I miss from the original DoW series. Interchangeable battle positions.
EDIT: Referencing the original DoW also reminded me how rubbish tanks try to maneuver around the map. They'll often get stuck on some poor collision detection, or decide that the single puny man before him is impossible to move over, not knowing that backing up or turning lazily to the left would fix all these problems. This often halts the entire main assault, and usually any infantry or other vehicles that were unfortunate enough to be behind them.

The Clannfears from Oblivion. Just sidestep 'em and they're gonna charge straight at a wall and won't stop being stuck until you chopped off half their lives.
Runner-up is the female slave bodyguard in Fallout 3 that you can buy in Paradise Falls. I give her a minigun and tell her to stay on distance, she runs straight up into a Yao Ghui's face...

When you're playing Left4Dead offline (who does that?) the AI are pretty useless and become quite an annoyance. That being said though, I'd have to give it to Ashley in Resident Evil 4.scorch 13 said:
And to add to that note, whoever invented escort missions (especially the concept of it being in more than half the freaking game)... should be shot.
Natalya in Goldeneye 64
Or specifically Natalya on Control in Goldeneye 64.
"Please dont run in there....cant you type quicker??...good good now run away...no Natalya AWAY, not INTO DIRECT FI...." Pause, restart, repeat.
Ashley from Resident Evil 4 a close second though.
