Funniest thing a players character ever did?

[Ogrehatescomputers]

I've got a lot of them but I always laugh about our parties rogue and the deck of many things. Wanting to avoid the danger our wizard warned us of, we all said one or two. then drew the one or two and saw what happened. Most of us faired well. Little harm came. Then up steps our hafling friend and pronouces to the world. SEVENTEEN!

He was missed.

Well.... there's always the time my second level Knight called out a Bugbear Chieftain with fighter levels and challenged him to single combat. Had a prepared action to interrupt his charge by disarming him. He runs up, loses his battle axe, punches me, misses by two, I think, before I pick up his axe and chase him down the stairs. I trip over the bodies of the dozen or so hobgoblin fodder, and end up unconscious at the foot of the stairs. He picks up his axe and beheads me. I was devastated. With laughter.

I'm not sure if it's supposed to be funniest or dumbest!

I had one guy tell the players that if you jumped off the top of the cathedral you would gain the ability to fly. He did so (knowing about extreme weather conditions there) rolled really, really well, and FLEW! Two others jumped to their deaths.

Same guy and I'm playing with him. The world was based on the Black Company series. Our 'world' was small (diameter of 60 miles) and surrounded by a black circle which everyone knew for a fact that if you crossed it you died (ZAP!) Well, we decided to be the first and only ones to successfully cross the line. We came up with clever ideas, drew straws to see who would go first and proceeded to test them out. Eight characters disintegrated later, and he and I are the only ones left. He looks at me, looks at the pile of 'stuff' they left behind and says "Whadda you say we call it a day?" I heartily agreed.

With the epic stupidity players tend to eventually show time and time again, is there really a difference?

I can't even pick one there's been so many times. The most recent uproar came when my players used a major artifact which, when shattered, casts true resurrection on every corpse within 120 ft. Half the party died in battle against a black dragon, so after killing the dragon, they shattered the artifact to revive them... but it revived the dragon's corpse as well....

I converted Tallow’s Deep adventure from an old Dungeon magazine to the 4e rules. There was a part in the dungeon where our brave fighter began walking through some water. When I let him know that something bumped his leg he quickly jumped to a ledge and readied his daily attack power for anything that stuck it’s head out of the water. Anyone who is familiar with the adventure will know that the only thing in the water are albino cave fish. Our poor fighter gets picked on every time now for a laugh. “Be careful! There might be an albino cave fish in there!”

In the campaign I'm playing now a friend of mine was forced to play a spell caster which he had never done before (nor have I) so we tired as hard as we could to figure out funny things to do especially together.

We are invading a small army of Golbinoids and make our way into their kings base which is inside a cave. We finally slay a bunch of Bugbears and enter the kings throne room. For whatever reason the DM had a spike pit in the middle of us and the "Goblin King". We had heard the king was very tough but once we saw that pit my friend and I immediately looked each other in the eye and I just nodded to him.

Well my friend uses command and the king just starts booking it towards us falling into the spike pit and completely wrecks himself. The DM was very unhappy but eventually laughed along with us.

purposely entered a grapple with a gelatinous cube to save an npc kobald who was dead before i got them out, and then dying before i could escape.

having a very good plan, tactically, but for no reason at all deciding to overrun the goblin, failed, and got mobbed by half the tribe.

half-ogre barbarian with a charisma of 6, after being told that the troops are in good spirits because the battle is a long way off, announcing 'you guys are gonna do great tomorrow'.

Our party was being chased by a horde of Drow down a dungeon corridor. I'm at the back about a round behind after I threw some caltrops to slow them down. The DM was giving us a few seconds each to decide what to do. My jaw hits the floor when, in a panic, our wizard casts wall of stone directly behind her. My last stand was quite heroic but ultimately futile.

me and my freind, who plays a paladin who weilds two bastard swords, burst through a door to reveal the boss who happend to be a mind flayer and as the mindflayer stood and began to monolouge my freind suddenly yelled out i throw my sword at him he rolled and missed, so the dm decided to continue on with the monolouge he got three words out before the paladin decide to throw his second sword which crit and knocked out the mindflayer.

LOL. I love them all. Once in attempt to save a comrade my half orc barbarian activated his boots of levitation. the other fighter in our group who was taken was being carried up several floors in an "elelvator" like device. So with my mighty 8 intelligence i decided to begin wailing away at the floor the device until i could free my friend. The floor collapsed. I killed all the enemy. and missed catching my friend who i was there to rescue.

in all fairness he did live.

kinda.

...he was missed.
