Ok, when I went to college (only stayed there 2 semesters), I was part of a D&D club. We mostly fooled around and when we made a game, it was hilarious.
There was once during a free day at college an Alien game. Most of the party had crappy stats and ranks. especially one we all thought would die during the first two minutes of the game. Anyway, a girl had badass stats, and she decided she would act as one. So much that when she got caught by a face hugger, she pointed her shotgun on her face and shot .The worst part is that she survived (mostly because of her gas mask she was wearing). And just for the heck of it, the GM decided to add a predator in the game.
And about the guy who we thought was going to die for shure? Well, he was one of the few who survived including an encounter with the predator and a pincer attack by two aliens.
And theres also this event that happened when I was looking at three buddies playing a game of D&D (Although its more of a funny story):
DM: O.K, you managed to sneak inside one of the chamber of the castle. What do you do.
Player1:we search the chamber
DM: ok, roll a 20 die. Since you are in a bit of a hurry, you only get one roll.
Player1: I roll a 10
DM:You find a sketch of the castle
Player1:
Player2:I roll a 1 
DM: You found a recipe for beat salad......in a geography book

That reminds me of a guy who used to play with us when we were in our Star Wars phase. Except he didn't have badass stats, he was just stupid.
We were in a tavern or something and he was flirting with a girl. She told him to back off, but he persisted. Finally getting annoyed with him, she whipped out her blaster and pointed it right in his face.
Stupid kid didn't get the clue and 'seductively' licked the barrel. Of course, she fired.
He only survived the initial blast due to an extremely lucky roll. He managed to turn his head fast enough so that all that got shot was his ear.
He had the audacity to ask me to heal him. I did so, using one of his med packs and I kept his ear as a trophy (and a reminder to him to stop being so dumb).

DM: AS yo approach the door, you see that it is slightly ajar...
Player 1: I attempt to kick it down.
::confused stares::
Player 2: Why would you want to do that?
Player 1: Well, it's old, so if I opened it, it would creak and make a lot of noise. I wouldn't want to draw attention to us...

DM: You discover 3 orcs, one is eating a squirrel.
Player 1: After we kill him can I feed it to my horse?
DM: Your horse is a vegeterian.
Player: Well then can we eat it? I've got some flint and steel and some candles, let's heat it it!

Alright, this is a tad long, but worth it I promise.
Our party (10th-1tth level at the time) in on a series of quests to set up for the campaign's big showdown with a lich lord. We find out that an artifact/relic/whatever we need is in the lair of a fire giant clan. The clan has been taken over by... a BALOR. That's right folks, the Balor can kill - at minimum - a PC per round, and that doesn't count all the fire giants running around. Clearly, a need for stealth, right?
We spend three whole game sessions setting up for the delve. We burn a collective 1200 eps in commune spells, capture and interrogate a giant, and burn about another 1000 eps and 4000 gp in scrolls and other magic items. We're gonna be ghosts. We've narrowed the search area down to a set of 12 rooms in the complex. and we've got a pretty good idea the item is in one of three of those, but we're still not sure.
Time for the mission. Now again, we've been planning this for 3 weeks (real world time). Everyone in the party is invisible. There are three teleport spells ready for a quick extraction should the Balor appear. We're all reassuring each other nobody is going to do anything stupid - if he shows up, we leave. Real black ops type thing here... one guy was even humming the Mission Impossible theme.
We teleport into the only room we have had a clear viewing of: a smelting room. Sure enough, 40 feet away, two giants are toiling away, smelting, with thier backs to us. The hall we're going to head to is 20 feet off to our right. The DM says "They don't see you, but let's go to initiative anyway." No problem, we're all thinking, we'll just quietly leave this room and proceed with the goal.
Dice roll. Inits are recorded. The top init player, we'll call him Mr X, goes first. He studies the map carefully, and begins moving his fig to the right... he's got 50' of movement so he gets alongside the fire giants, and ... casts Lightning Bolt!?!?!?! All hell breaks loose... alarms are sounding, PCs are running through rooms trying quick spot and search checks for the item while others of us hold off the dozen fire giants that are all around us. Then the balor appears.
Mr X tries to distract a pair of fire giants that are close to squashing another PC by zapping them from a side hallway, then spider climbing to the roof and back behind them (he's got Impr Invis up). PC gets away as giants charge down the empty corridor swinging at nothing. Mr X zaps them again from behind, and they return to the fight.
We're two rounds into balor at this point and 2/3 of the party has ported out, but the last PCs are waiting on Mr X, who's playing footsy with fire giants. The DM is trying soooo hard not to laugh and is really holding back the balor against the rest of us, but he's clearly not going to keep that up. Eventually we talk Mr X into following the plan and everyone is back home, safe and sound (after some cleric activity of course).
Robert claims he thought he could take out the fire giants with his 10d6 lightning bolt. He also claims it shouldn't have made any noise since there isn't any listed in the PHB. He also wonders why we're so angry "afterall, we all got away. what's the big deal?" I am not a violent person, but I was ready to punch him.
Now Mr X's a good guy, and I like talking with him and all, but this was the first of many time he just did something so unbelievably dumb I questioned his sanity. There are many more Mr X stories of even wilder dumb things, but this one was my first and remains my favorite.

I was running a RIFTS campaign and one of the characters was a military type with mega-damage armor. For those of you who have never played RIFTS, mega-damage armor is basically immune to fire from "normal" (i.e. standard damage) weapons. Anyway, the party goes into a biker bar and orders up some drinks. They are, of course, all cocky and itching to cause trouble because the locals only have normal weapons. The player in question, after about his 5th drink decides to bully a biker who promptly pulls out an Uzi and points it directly at the PC's face. The biker didn't want trouble so he gave the PC a chance to back off. When that failed, the biker opened fire and it was "Dawn of the Dead" time for the PC. Of course, he protested, arguing that his mega-damage armor protected him from normal gunfire. With a smile, I reminded him that he can't drink without removing his helmet.

Ok, this is a story that happened to two of the other players in the group I'm in a few weeks ago, we had just arrived in Longsaddle (check your FR maps of the north) and the new guy (a neutral good elf fighter) decided he wanted a composite longbow so he somehow found out that the owner of one of the taverns in the town was actually an adventuring equipment dealer as well, or somrthing. So he and the human rogue(who's been playing longer then I have but I don't know exactly how long) decide to check it out while the rest of us tried to get some magic items looked at. So they get the Bartender to let them down into the secret cache and it's lined with chests full of all sorts of stuff. Now the human rogue's (who is supposedly chaotic good but seems to be aflicted with intermitant phycosis and kleptomania) player suddenly says "I'm going to draw my sap and sneak attack the Bartender." So there's the bartender with his back to them, looking in a chest for longbows, and all of us are sitting at the table and staring at the player saying "WHAT!?" and "Not this again!" and the newebie is sort of stuned I guess and he doesn't know what to do. So he does nothing, and the rogue walks up behind the barkeep and tries to swing but he somehow misses and the barkeep turns around and sees him, so the rogue backs off and the newbie does nothing. The the Barkeep casts a magic missile into the rogue's chest and the rogue, totally shocked at the turn of events, turns and flees, the fighter is just standing there and the mage says something to the effect of, "You want some too?" the fighter is like "I'm sorry, I didn't do anything." and the mage says "Get out of here." to him. so he did. We had to leave town in a hurry, though only the rogue and the fighter knew why.

In an old 2nd Ed game, the characters were being persued down a river valley by mounted warriors. Being low level and in a state of disarray after having their arses handed to them on a silver platter, they were naturally running away as fast as their legs would carry them.
Suddenly, the dwarven fighter decides that this cowardly (but perfectly sane) course of action isn't for him and announces that he'll run no more. Instead he flicks out the blades on the elbows and knees of his armour and lies flat on his back on the riverbed with his legs pulled up to proffer the sharp implements.
Though shallow, the river covers the dwarf and hides him from the oncoming riders. That and the distance his companions have opened up since he laid down conspire to keep them ignorant of his fate as the riders round the corner and the hooves of their horses trample him to death.
BTW: The same character leaped into a deep pool of water in full plate armour to avoid the teeth of the phirana infesting it. He justified this by noting he could swim...the DM countered by reminding him that there was a reason full metal swimming costumes were so hard to come by.

In a game where the PCs were all evil, we made a brief stopover in Sigil after fleeing our homeworld and while the rest of the party slipped out to do evil, the doppelganger mage stayed behind in the rooms we rented in the tavern to update his spellbook.
After about an hour, the door of the room was kicked in by the bully boys attached to the apocalyptic cult chasing the party all wanting revenge after we stole the artefact they needed to ressurect their nasty god (we palmed the artefact off on a drunk in a tavern as it was no good to us and about to get us killed!).
Luckily for him the doppelganger had assumed the form of a tavern wench and fooled the cultists into believing he was one of the PCs bit on the side. The leader of the cultists responded by promptly trying to rape him (this was a very mature and darkly themed game).
In response the doppelganger turned his anatomically correct organs into a mouth and deprived the cultist of his family jewels in a very bloody and painful manner.

I just remebered this one and thought that I'd share it as the annecdote always makes me chuckle.
This happened in a campaign run by my friend Marc when he was running through the Labyrinth of Maddness boxed set with two players...and it's funny rather than stupid...at least in my opinion.
Both PCs walked into a huge chamber with a glowing orb floating in the air. The orb pulsed and suddenly they found that their bodies had been switched.
PC one began trying to figure a way to reverse the process...but at the same time PC two sloped off and quickly secreted all PC one's valuables nearby.
PC one managed to reverse the process, but then was shocked to find he had been relieved of all his stuff...PC two (after having craftily picked up the stashed loot) pretended to share his shock and agreed that they should find the fiend who stole the valuables.
 I love evil players!

In a one-off session I was running, we had two really intelligent characters (the wizard and the rogue) and two really stupid characters (the fighter and the barbarian/ranger). While exploring a cave complex some of the roof started to cave in and the PCs were separated by a massive pile of rubble. The intelligent characters started to try and move the rocks but the stupid ones (the only ones who would have been able to move any rocks) decided to explore on their own - for it was them who had been marooned together on one side. They reached a shimmering portal.
They didn't have another way out of the caves (aside from moving the rocks, but they didn't want to do that) so they started throwing their backpacks and sacks of supplies through the portal, then went through themselves.
Unfortunately, the portal led to a 2 foot by 2 foot stone room with no doors. They'd by now filled the entire room with their own supplies, blocking their way in. The portal was one-way - they got stuck in the stone wall and suffocated.

Draw Ranger: Ok, I want to use to try to intimidate him, I take off my heavy cloak and sun goggles and draw my sword.
Me: Are you sure?
Drow Ranger: Yes!
Me: Alright, you are blinded.
Drow Ranger: Oh crap!
Some time before that the player of the drow ranger had a birthday party with a call of cthulu game. Well, this was my first time playing CoC but he aparently plays it alot. Anyway, we went to this haunted mansion and started looking around, suddenly he say, "Do we have any chickens?" needless to say, most of us looked at him and said "WHAT?!" He said, "You know, to throw at the monsters." We all stared at him for a bit longer, untill he explained it was supposed to be a distraction. Well, the GM said that we didn't have any chickens but that he was free to go buy some back in town if he wanted to drive all the way back there. So off he went in his car (the only one we had) for about 4 game hours, on a quest for chickens. Meanwhile we almost get killed and are all very confused since his char was the only smart one that wasn't a nut job. Ironically, when he did finally get back, we did throw a chicken into a dark attick where it was promptly slaughtered, thus causing my Ex-Military Redneck gun fanatic to start firing at the ceiling. That didn't do much.

A PC had gotten his arm caught on fire...I can't even remember how it happened because what happened afterwards was so stupid. The solution to this problem? Water? No, just get the Barbarian to cut his arm off! They were in a sewer! Water...EVERYWHERE!

years ago, befor 2nd 3e, i played in an evil campagn. we were (stupidly) raiding a temple to an evil god followed by very mean cultists (like i said, stupid) we got caught by their god and were subsequently quested. the quest was to bring the warhorse of the paladin that protects the king.
we brain stormed for ideas and one of us came up with the idea of getting the paladin to attack the temple with his warhorse...the quest said nothing about the paladin being attached or not...
quest ended

While both stupid and funny I am sorry to say I was involved but.
We were a low level party was chasing a wagon with 6 hostages in the back driven by one bandit. (We killed the other 5 and he got away) Since we were on foot we had to act fast. I quickly cast Command on the driver and told him to jump. I was expecting the driver would be injured and the horses with no driver would stop. But nope the horses kept on going. So the mage cast sleep on 4 of the 6 horses. Well that stopped the horses but of course caused the wagon to roll and in the end only 1 of the 6 hostages survived. After it all we could only say …oops!?

I DM for and have played with several players, one in particular, who simply love to come up with the most creative and therefore potentially problematic solutions to problems imaginable. Things which are, on the surface, monumentally stupid, but tend to work out spectacularly.
The scene: The players have just wiped out a group of kobold guards around a storehouse they have been hired to clear out. One of the party, a gnome sorcerer, infiltrates the basement of the structure disguised as a kobold, screaming that the PCs are attacking in hopes to lure the kobolds and troglodytes in the basement into the waiting arms of the PCs.
Here's the "good" part.
As the enemies begin to charge up the stairs, the gnome ranger in the group notices that the part of the storehouse they are currently standing in is full of barrels, and proceeds to ask the human fighter if she can throw them down the stairs.
Fifteen minute pause while I as DM figure out the game mechanics for flinging barrels down the stairs, and the checks and saves to be made by those on the stairs.
In the end, an enounter that should have absorbed a good deal of realtime takes about twenty minutes, all so that the players can play Donkey Kong instead of D&D.
And this from a game I used to play in:
The party, composed of a dwarf rogue, a tiefling psion, and a drow monk, are in the Underdark outside the fortified complex of a highly-placed drow family. The fourth party member, a drow fighter, is inside, conducting negotiations with the family to convince them to stop manufacturing psionic weapons (the house we are working for/part of is primarily psions.) In order for the rest of the party to gain entry, the tiefling comes with with the following plan:
Using a psionic skill of some kind, the tiefling imitates a giant battering ram slamming against the front gates of the complex. While most of the guards rush to the gate to see what happened, a dwarf with boots of spider climb runs straight up the wall and plunges a pair of daggers into one of the remaining guards' backs. BOTH daggers get critical hits, killing the guard. (This was my character.) Dwarf them removes the boots and drops them so that the monk can climb the wall while the tiefling makes a second ramming sound and then comes up the wall on his own devices.
Once inside we find the forge where the weapons are being made, and proceed to steal and destroy a good bit of it. On the way out the Dwarf thrusts a large psionic axe into the psionic forge, causing a major explosion.
The party proceeds to run to where the high-level talks are taking place, grab our party member, and the house's second daughter (who wanted out of the house anyway) and teleport directly into the main audeince chamber of our employer, the Matron Mother of the house we were working for.
Is there ANY reason why any of that should have worked?

i was playing a whisper gnome in my friends ebberron pre-fab adventure (the vampire one). we were following this vampire trying to hunt him down. stowing away onto an airship that we knew he was on the airship was attacked by air pirates.
we successfully fended off the pirates but the pirate captain deciden to ram our ship. this caused engine failure and the ships started to go down. i jump onto one of the skiffs used to transport the pirates which is tethered tightly to our ship.
as we go down i prevent the pilots from cutting us loose thinking that if they did they would fly away and i would be held captive. i ended up hitting the ground at the same speed as the ship taking 11d6 falling damage. my hp was maybe 20 at best. dm didnt roll low.

Two really quick ones from the same campaign.
The first one involves a wish spell with an exorcist character which ended up turning the entire town we were trying to save into cow fat. Thats what a critical failure gets you.
And the second was our convoluted plan to get rid of a mind flayer infestation by flooding their cave using a vial of endless water.

we had a smaller group at times so one night we only had a thief, an elven monk, and my gnome fighter/illusionist. we were high up in this mountain range and were supposed to invade this stronghold in the sky (well, at the very top of a very tall mountain anyway).
we were in hiding just doing some recon before heading in. we noticed a giant of some sort (about 12 feet tall and wearing full plate armor) walking out through a door and making his rounds along a porch that bent around 3 sides of the building. one seemed to come out every few minutes.
eventually i got this crazy idea. i used my ventriloquism proficiency to try and make the guards think one of their fellows had fallen off the porch and needed help. so as the first one stupidly stood there looking over the side of the porch the thief ran out, jumped up and plunged his daggers into the sides of the guards neck. after he sprang away the monk ran out and karate kicked the guard over the edge.
footsteps from the other side of the door, we all hide again.
ventriloquism
backstab
karate kick
"aaaaiiieeeeeee!"
repeat as necessary
this worked for something like 5 or 6 guards before the DM decided not to send anymore out.

belst laid plands of mice and dm's
this is a bit long but i think it is worth it!
way back before 2 nd ed i was playing an experimental character concept. we were playing an evil player campain, mine was a lawful neutral gray elf Ill/ M u
we were sneaking about looking for a place to raid when we discovered the dm set us up. we were in the secret temple of an evil cabal of cultist ... and first level characters to boot.
we tripped an alarm when an evil cleric in the party tried to do something 9defile the alter maybe? can't remember) the god shows up and places a blade barrier around us, questinons us and then quests us ... to bring to the alter the mount of a paladin that guarded the local monarch.
after amny sessions of plotting and planning and just simply creating trouble and mayhem, I had been playing prety reservedly when i was smitten with an epithany!!
we only had to send the horse to the evil cult's alter to be slain, right? why not send the horse, with the paladin?
eventually here is what happened:
we planend to kill the monarch
someone beat us to it, but we coaught them
we left a note we had planned on leaving for the paladin and his two friends. the note had the evil cult claiming responsibility for the dity deed of the assanination
the paladin and his two friends (ranger archer-1 ed unearthed arcana style) and a wizard came riding to the cult's head quartes that this information somehow got to them
our quest was fulfilled when the paladin showed up mounted on his specil horse...one diabolical dm's twisxted plat: thwarted by a simple epithany
perhaps i will someday tell what we did to the halfling thief in the party...

I don't know if this counts, but once, I was running a campaign with my B.i.L. as a DM. We had about seven characters in the game, and one total dingding of a Barbarian. He didn't know what anything was and he would run at it in full charge mode. What to do. . .so the DM pulls out a very high lvl wiz, with a prismatic sphere. So. . .I see this man, glowing with rainbows. What am I to think? I was playing a kender (think halfling with insane urges), so I rummage through a pack, pull out a "Gnomish invention of waterproofing" (umbrella) because I think with rainbows come rain. Dm asks "do you think that'll protect you?" I say "yes. Duh. it's gonna RAIN." so I end up making him laugh and getting a free wish :D I was the only one to survive. On faith. In gnomish inventions.

Star wars goofyness
I have enjoyed this thread. A couple of years ago I was in a star wars game taking place about 2 years after empire strikes back. We were running a xwing squadron and shooting down a lot of tie fighters. after stealing a medical frigate from the empire and selling it to the rebellion we found ourselves with a large sum of money. we figured that we need to invest. we chose to invest in seinar systems the people that make the tie fighters. we keep shooting them down and they keep making them. after about 2 game years we were extremely rich.
