What is the funniest way to die in a video game?

[Endocrom]

Getting herded around by a fast tank you just placed a time bomb on.

(Star Wars Battlefront II)

Kingdom of Loathing?!

 

[gort247]

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!

[CounterAttack]

Death by "Companion Cube meets Infinite Loop". It's a love-hate relationship =)

Oh, and the game is NetHack. KoL uses the Amulet of Yendor, bit it's a completely irrelevant item.

 

[gort247]

Starvation?

 

[sanomaton]

Well, the one I have laughed at the most was when I fell into a well when I was playing Tenchu 4 with Rikimaru screaming his ass off. How was I supposed to know he doesn't know how to grab the edge of the well!

 

[The Madman]

Kingdom of Loathing?!

Nope, but you're in the right vein of games. The one I'm talking about is a real oldy, one of the originals!

 

[Warrior Irme]

Death by "Companion Cube meets Infinite Loop". It's a love-hate relationship =)

Oh how the companion cube can turn into your worst enemy with the placement of a simple loop.

 

[Incompl te]

How about being Owned By Three Year Olds?

The Sims deaths are pretty funny. Getting crushed by a falling satelite tops the list of absurd ways to die for me.

At the moment I'm playing Call of Duty. I know its stark realism isn't meant to be funny but my uncoordinatedness is. One time I managed to kill myself in my own air-raid attack as I ran to the exact spot where the flare was. Then the game warned me about friendly fire.

Nethack?

 

[The Madman]

Nethack?

Bingo! Excellent taste in games my friend, excellent!

I've had quite a few ridiculous deaths in that game. It's perfect to play when traveling, so I've played alot of it!

 

[skib132]

making a level on little big planet made to kill sackboy and thats funny

 

[thom_cat_]

Either being hit over the head with my CS:S knife skin... which is a trout,
or being hit with a giant dildo which was a skin for the scouts bat because it got removed from FPSbanana.

Rocket-jumping in TF2 at extremely low health then hitting your chin on the ledge you were trying to jump to, bouncing off the wall, and recieving an announcement that you fell to a clumsy, painful death.

Also, being facestabbed by a Spy in TF2.

Also, driving a warthog off a cliff in Halo.

Also, charging a Scorpion in a Warthog.

Being sniped while jumping and going ragdoll in midair in any game you'd care to mention.

Oh, Taking a leap of faith off the wrong side of the cathedral in Assassin's Creed.

And there are so many more...

Also,

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.

You, my friend, may want to check out Lit Fuse Films' Thundermelon 2. If you haven't already seen it.
