What has been the funniest achivement you have got in video games?
Is it the "Little rocket man" achivement in HL2:EP2 where you have to send the garden gnome (also known as gnome chompski) into orbit with the sattelite at the end of the game? (you find the gnome near the start of the game)
Or is it the "the part where he kills you" in portal 2 where when chapter 9 starts you have to let wheatly kill you?
So post your funniest achivement!

I quite liked gravity gun challenge, I don't know the name of the achievment, now everytime I play through half-life 2 I never use anything but the gravity gun during ravenholm. Also there is a saw blade holding the top half of a zombie up, as part of a tradition I also try and take that saw blade to the end of the level (as the first blade to have killed a zombie it must be lucky).

*edit I read it as Funnest

Though it's an achievement you don't have to something really special for, it's still one of the funniest mechanics I've had in a game.

Flinging cigarettes at robots to distract them in Vanquish.

Sitting behind your chest high wall, open your visor, light one up, take a big drag, aaaand fling!

The horse puncher achievement in darkest of days was funny. The game was terrible though.

Turd Burglar in Duke Nukem Forever.


... No, actually it was pretty lame.

Just about every achievement in Saints Row 3.

The first Vid Master Annual achievement on Halo 3.
Complete Halo (The level) in 4 player legendary co-op with the Iron skull activated and on ghosts. Can only be done after September 25, 2008.
Took me and my friends about 4 hours.
Reward. 0GS.

Having your character sing along to a song in Saints Row 2. Pointless but hilarious.




edit.

Better version.

If only this was was in-game music it would be perfect.

There are many, but the ones that I thought first:

Non-Warhammer - Red Dead Redemption:

Dastardly - Place a hogtied woman on the train tracks, and witness her death by train.

C'mon, even the achievement art is an evil moustache and a top-hat xD

Dawn of War II - Retribution:

Dynamic Entry achievement: kill 100 enemies by jumping on them with the Jet, Heavy Jet or Stabilized Jet abilities.

Aaah, when an "internet meme" turns into an achievement.



And speaking of which:

Tomb Raider -
Former Adventurer - 25 enemies incapacitated with dodge counter.

And the pic is a knee. Being hit by an arrow.

Assassin's Creed 3, after the three-chapter prologue to the game. Seriously, one of the best chain of events I've ever seen.

Spoilers abound if you care!

'One cannot simply' is a pretty funny achievement for Lego Lord of the Rings.

All you have to do is pick your mini-figure to be Boromir and walk into Mordor.

Also I can't remember the name of it but there is one for simply looking up the main characters skirt in Lollipop Chainsaw

"I Swear! I Did It By Mistake!
Peeped under Juliet's skirt once."

I haven't played the game, but after Rysaer's post I had to look at the achievement list

It's actually a pretty fun game, feels quite 'No More Heroes' -ish and has some great humour/music in to boot.

Maybe when its $5 or less. After looking through the achievements it doesn't seem to have a lot of replay value, and I normally loathe games with so many collectables.

The Simpsons game
"Press START to Play"

Portal 2:

When GLaDOS tells you to finish the last test (whilst you're running away from her with Wheatley) and she says "I think I see a deer, " you have two options:

1. Ignore her and continue trying to escape.

2. Try to see the deer (I figured there'd be an easter egg), get blasted with neurotoxin, and die, earning the achievement "Good Listener."

My fav one is from Red Dead Redemption:

"Bearly Legal" - kill 18 bears.

This was going to be one, and how have the varying achievements for Borderlands 2 not come up?
1. "Definitely an Italian Plumber: Kill Donkey Mong
2. "Obsessed": Finding a certain number of tokens of Moxxi, the character everyone who has ever been attracted to a video game character wants to violate in every way possible
3. I don't have the game in front of me, as I'm at work, but there are more: just blanking out and too lazy to look others up.
