Funniest thing you ever did on a videogame

The funniest thing I can think of at the moment, was when I paused about halfway through the first Project Zero (AKA Fatal Frame) game - and took the time to piece the storyline together.
First a quick recap, for those of you who may be unfamiliar with the game: Main character Miku is exploring the heavily haunted Himuro mansion in search of her brother who has recently disappeared there. Her only weapon is a camera that can exorcise the ghosts who attack her - IF she manages to snap a decent enough picture of them.
As you progress through the mansion, you find newspaper clippings and pages torn from various people's journals, each containing some hint about things that have happened in Himuro Mansion in the past. At some point during my first playthrough, it occurred to me that I'd aquired quite a lot of these notes, so I decided to read them all again, to get a better impression of the backstory.
The backstory, it turned out, went something like this:
My conclusion:
Miku, most likely SOMEWHAT aware of the above, has been sitting at home, gradually realizing that her brother won't be coming back any time soon. After carefully considering her options, she has eventually come to the one and only decision that makes any kind of sense to her:
(Please imagine the following sentence spoken in the most mind-numbingly stupid voice you can think of.)
"Duuuuh... I'll go and LOOK for him! YEAH!"
Even though I still find the game scary, I was never able to take it ENTIRELY seriously after this had occurred to me.
Let's face it, though: You hardly ever see a horror story in which the main character is in any way approaching normal, rational intelligence!

The backstory, it turned out, went something like this:
The Himuro family, who originally built the mansion, were in the habit of regularily performing nasty rituals involving torture and human sacrifice. Then, after a few centuries of this, a crucial ritual went wrong and the entire family disappeared without a trace and were never seen again.
The now vacant mansion was eventually purchased by a renowned folklorist. Shortly after moving in, the folklorist and his family disappeared without a trace and were never seen again.
A famous author entered the mansion, along with two assistants, to do some research for his next book. They disappeared without a trace and were never seen again.
Miku's brother, a close friend of the author, decided to try and find out what had happened. He entered the mansion - and disappeared without a trace.

Back when I played WoW, my wife wanted to duel me. She figured I'd be an easy kill (Her 80 Rogue against my 65 Warlock). I told her that I wanted to pick the place to duel. So, there we are on the islands floating above Nagrand. My wife is so confident that she doesn't stealth. The duel starts and a couple seconds later she's yelling at me cause she fell to her death after being feared. I got a good laugh. No sex for about a week, but a good laugh.
Heh, getting up to 1 million points on ODST firefight... and getting 313 splatters in the Brute Chopper... good times with good friends
Playing Crash Team Racing with some mates (yes, the ancient PS1 game, it still kicks the crap out of any Crash Bandicoot games released since). We set up some battles in which the only weapons available were TNT crates and turbo boosts. Those battles go on for bloody ever and are no end of fun and amusement. 
well there seems to be a bit of "you had to be there" going on in this thred...owell here's mine, MW2 on the second floor of a building, got two guys with my trusty AUG/W red dot, when one guy started takeing shots at me from just under the window, i backed up and blindly tossed a semtex and stuck him ^o^ but thats just the funniest thing I did funniest thing i saw was once again MW2 i was in a team death and a guy from my side got the winning kill with a random knife throw! this thing went almost straight up and fell on the most unlucky basterd to ever pick up a controller
WoW also.
Heigan the Unclean encounter.
This fight is never not funny when you are dragging an entire team of newbies along. Play it with Yakety Sax. Always.
The fight ended around 25minutes later when the remaining raid:
Me (ret pala)
Bear Tank
Death Knight Blood Dps
Tree Druid
Holy Priests
Had FINALLY finished the 25man encounter by ourselves. I could have been mad but it was too funny when I watched the sped up video with the very song I mentioned later.

In saint's row 2, my friend turned on the evil cars cheat and got in that really small, unstable helicopter, then flew to the freeway that's above the ocean near the airport. He then proceeded to hover just over the edge of the freeway, causing cars to drive at him then fall into the ocean. He got too cocky though, and decided to hover dangerously low to the road, flying up whenever a car got near him, but he wasn't paying attention and his helicopter was hit by a bus. His helicopter was thrown out of control and spun towards the ground, but he bailed right before the impact destroyed the vehicle, only to be run over by a big rig before he could get back up. It was hilarious.
You know how in some games there's this glitch that if a dead NPC gets stuck in a texture, they flail around like a windsock durring a hurricane? I stockpiled 3 bodies in a door & watched them dance. Tried for 5, but the 4th one kept getting spit out.
If you haven't seen this glitch before, here's an example. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EyFURUovb4&fmt=18

Modded Fable: TLC so that instead of kicking chickens, I kicked this guy:
I couldn't find a better picture, but yeah, the thing in the background IS a dragon.
What made this better was that he made a chicken noise.
