"There's something sutck in the toilet. Should i pull it out?"
Silent Hill 3; getting bitten in the toilet, and saying "What kind of person would put their hand down a toilet?" If I remember correctly, she does it straight afterwards.
I think she doesn't. She refuses to do it even if you try to later.

Changing ingame-language to norwegian (which is where I'm from) gives funny results in CS. Changing to burst-fire mode now gives you a message that you've just changed to shot-rain mode in norwegian.

CoD:
The "watch the grenade indicator"-message when you die from a nade. Really? I thought that was an apple which I was supposed to eat.

Everything Glados says is pure genuis.
Also, welcome to the Escapist!
Yep, but I think the worst one was when she told you to assume the partygoer position. The game wouldn't even let me :/

Any of the advice and tutorials in Black and White and Black and White 2 were irritating "now lets learn how to pitch the camera up and down"... and its all unskippable *shudder*, "villagers need food" omg no way!... also on the subject why when I drop a cow into the storehouse it turns into grain? seriously grain!

Any MMO that gives health tips in the loading screen is not so much bad advice but just irritating, like WaR "A comfy chair is a great investment for your back, your hobby and the quality of you gaming"... its not like im playing while sat on a spike now is it!

oh and dead space had some real stereotypical ones, like the level where the computer voice kept telling you about something huge in food storage, 200,000 tons or something like that and its been locked down for safety reasons and yet your objectives and crew keep telling you to open the door, I mean who the hell would do that! f*ck repairing the ship, you can go and face the giant monster if you want to open the door so badly!

Ghosts are the worst thing to use against psychic pokemon.
loved the show when i was young...and actually...once we figured out all the ghost pokemon in red and blue were also poison types...they were useless against psyhic types. it did help me confuse a lot friends and won me battles though :)

Well that was just because the only three ghosts were dual ghost/poison(poison<psychic) types though I think they merely made that to keep people from spamming Gengar in their party's but yeah I found that odd espically when watching Ash going through so much trouble getting that haunter to help him with sabrina in the show(ah the innocent days of youth).
*goes back to playing FireRed*

Worst advice was being told to not bring Grenades.

The dual poison type was only part of it (the big part, granted). It was actually completely wrong: the one attack in the game that did Ghost-type damage (Lick) was completely ineffective against Psychics. So it wasn't just that all the ghosts being poison types made them vulnerable to psychic, the ghost type itself sucked against them in that game.
