Sometimes, even a AAA gaming experience can leave you rolling around on the floor laughing. Not because it was intentionally funny, but because they fucked up somewhere along the way and now your character is doing a hula dance during a very serious and dramatic scene.
In fact, glitches have become such a celebrated part of video gaming that entire games have been made that revolve around them!

Glitches don't have to be funny. In fact, they can be infuriating. For instance, did you know that in the German version of I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, it is literally impossible to finish the game because they simply removed one of the characters (a Nazi) entirely and without accounting for that?
Or how about this Skyrim glitch where Farkas follows you around and continually engages you in conversation, and not even death will stop him?

This thread is for those of us who try and test the limits of games to see how far the developers thought ahead. It's fun to try and get outside the experience they cooked up to see what happens when you do something they didn't account for, and lots of times really crazy things happen.

I'll leave you with this, the inspiration for this thread. In Heavy Rain there's a glitch towards the end of the game (so spoiler alert if you haven't finished Heavy Rain) that completely drains the drama and danger from the scene and turns it into a pile of hilarity.

And here's a pretty funny Assassin's Creed glitch:
So many to choose from, but:
Also, you can check out Jon Bois's series Breaking Madden. I'd recommend anything with "Touchdown Tom," Brett Favre, and the Haunting of Cam Newton. Really, I'd recommend you go through both seasons in order in their entirety, but that's just me.
The glitches are great, but the "commentary" really makes it.
Also not REALLY a glitch, but I enjoyed how much the bad guys in Dying Light respect your safe houses:
