One of the Space Quest games, if you didn't enter any commands into the game at the beginning your character would shuffle out of the shuttle bay and die in space.

Of course the Space Quest games were famous for their hilarious deaths.

Shooting a mini-nuke into the ground as you jump in Fallout 3.

I played L4D on Expert not long ago. And there was this tank, and I had low HP. So I just legged it to the safe house. Right before I got inside and locked the door, I got hit by the tank. The funny thing was that he threw me upon the shelves inside the safe house too =P

Quake 3

I point my rocket launcher down and fire it as I jump, thinking I got enough health to survive and make it to the higher platform alive...

...nope, but I still laugh at my misfortune anyway.

Edit: and killer7, thinking that an Ulmeyda Smile isn't gonna cross paths with me... "Hey, there's no way he'll run into me..." *BOOOOM* "(Laughs) Dammit..."

Yeah, I laugh at my own misfortune a lot.

I was playing The Bouncer for the PlayStation a few years back. I ended up getting defeated in a stage near a fountain with steps. My character's body kinda rag-dolled across them upon hitting the ground, however some kind of glitch happened and he ended up twitching and appeared to be humping the pavement. It was so damn funny; my friend and I were in stitches for a good half an hour!

Experimenting with new items in garry's mod, I had no idea that watermelons could be so deadly, and while the companion cube is cool and all, I know to never turn my back to one again.

When you finally kill the damn Armadillo bastard it explodes, killing you.

It was funny because of how stupid it was.

Garry's mod has the most amusing deaths though. Spawning a door in the air to use as a platform only to forget locking it in place and have it fall on you so you die is awesome. Building your own cannon and launching a sawblade so far that it actually kills you is great. But nothing is as awesome or funny as creating a minefield, filling it with explosive barrels and crashing the game when you finally trip a mine.

EDIT:

My Iron Axe broke on the third hit :(
I know the screen doen't look like it is fun, but Dwarf Fortress is awesome, no way to win and thousands of ways to lose.

I think any of the deaths in The Sims series as they continue to be hilarious no matter how many times you've seen them. Furthermore, with each expansion pack you seem to get a new one to share with your beloved Sims, lol ^__^

There's a way to escape Vault 101 as a baby(when your dad opens the door, run out).

can you post a video or something because this is new to me, so you just get out as a baby and just walk or crawl I guess?

I haven't done it personally, but I was talking with NoMoreSanity over XBL as he was doing it. My understanding is that you can't go into 3rd person, but enemies can't hit you, since your hitbox is very tiny and they aim where they would if you were an adult, Hell, he mentioned a deathclaw jumping straight over him. Apparently, he died when someone threw a grenade, and he looked like Michael Jackson with stretchy arms.

I'm in a dungeon as a mighty holy Paladin, alls well but I'm running a bit low on food and supplies at the moment. Savy? So I kill this Dwarf and he happens to have a backpack full of tinned meat. My natural response is "Damn, convenient!" as I pry open a can and have a much at the contents while continuing on my downward journey to find the Amulet of Yendor.

It's then that my god forsook me and damned my paladin to hell for his evil ways. My response, understandably, is "WTF dude?". My confusion is cleared a moment later as my Paladin grows fur and turns into a werewolf, apparently from having ingested tainted werewolf meat! Now I'm no expert, but seriously, why in the nine hells would a dwarf be carrying around tinned werewolf meat? I couldn't possibly have predicted that one!

Shortly thereafter as punishment for my sinning ways (Eating tinned werewolf meat apparently!) the entire level of the dungeon I'm within comes at me all at once. I hold my ground for a time, werewolf/paladins being a surprisingly tough combination, only to finally be smitten when a pair of Lich emerged from the depths and began to resurrect my fallen enemies en mass. I fell then, my dying words "Not... Fair...."!

Huge props to whoever can name the game I was playing!
