probably the first three trophies i unlocked on Warhawk. these are hidden trophies, mind.
one for running into your own airial mine
one for getting killed by mines 6 times in a round
and one for getting killed in a warhawk, by someone using binocs (for 360 gamers, this is considerable. since warhawks move about like dragonflies, and binocs are pretty much the Splazer)

Completionist achievement in Mass Effect, having only played through half of the story. Well it confused me at the time!
Whilst I don't have it (or, indeed, the game) Left 4 Dead has the most meta achievement ever. Zombie Genocidest. Kill 53595 zombies. Why 53595? It's one more than Dead Rising's Zombie Genocider achievement.
I do rather love the Half Life 2 "Bonebreaker" achievement, but who doesn't love bricking zombies in the face?
In Shadowrun, there is an achievment called "Catch Shadowrun fever" with the explanation "Catch it!". Turns out you catch Shadowrun fever when you teabag someone.
Numeric God in Soul Calibur IV, if just because it is practically impossible to actually intend to get the achievement. The last two digits of the remaining match time have to match the last two digits of your current play time. I can not even begin to think of a way to set this up, short of sitting down and calculating the time it takes to perform every move to the last millisecond.
As for ones I just didn't expect, TH Proving Grounds Thug Check Distance achievement. I didn't mean to get it, I just enjoyed bashing into people. And then I knocked one off a pier and apparently sent him over 150 feet.

'Is that a spider?' RvB reference in Gears of War for sticking people with grenades. If I recall correctly anyway. Laughed my ass off whichever game it was.
There's one challenge (kind of like achievements) on call of duty 4 I wasn't even aware of, another one I'm a little hazey on, I believe you had to shoot through a wall and kill an enemy by hitting an explosive device. I unlocked maybe 4-5 challenges with that one shot too.. "Claymore," "Clay More," "Backdraft," etc.. Really wild scoring 2000+ points in a single multiplayer match.
A lot of achievements you get in dead rising. I was determined to knock down ten zombies with a bowling ball just because I bowl, I was totally unawawre of the achievement.

WoW achievment actually.
Going Down? you have to fal 65 yards without dying, lot harder to do on purpose than you would tthink. I ended up getting it when I went down a steep slope on a mount. I just let go of the mouse and keyboard and kciked back as I had thought death was inevitable. I land and all but 15 hp is taken out and I get the damn achiievment. Not really wierd, just was expecting death instead of an achievment. Did the same thing in COD4 with the falling ones. Both on mother fucking accident. I fall alot.

Hmmm. I'm going with "Irony" from Bioshock. Savor it.
I'd also like to point out that Super Smash Bros Melee had some unique awards that you could get; a definite precursor to XBL achievements. The game would log them and note the time and date when you earned each one. One was to play 4999 versus matches. You would get a notice that said "That's one penny of the retail price per match!" or something like that. There was also a per-match award called "Switzerland"; win the match without attacking and without taking any damage.

Defiant in Half Life 2. You basically go up to this cop in the beginning at the game who misses a trash can and his can falls to the ground. You're supposed to walk up to it, pick it up, and throw it in the can. I accidentally pressed the right trigger, hit the cop, and then *BLIP!* Achievement Unlocked! Defiant 5G! That was so fucking hilarious!
I haven't gotten that Zom-B-Q achievement in the Orange Box because it keeps resetting back to zero every time I get around six zombies. Damnit!
