What's the funniest thing in Oblivion?

The funniest thing is how whenever an AI attacks someone accidentally, it gets changed so that the victim is now an enemy. You can start an Imperial Legion civil war if you place yourself right with the archers. Then just ~player.payfine
and you can sit back and watch!

Easy way to get lots of silver arrows.

That was more 'really odd' or 'kinda disturbing' than it was funny, i think. Maybe it's just me........

Turning collision off, using a bunch of ranged spells with a large area of effect on different objects, turning collision on again and watching tonnes of cutlery, weapons and just random scrolls and potions suddenly jump of the tables and fly around the room like a storm of items :sly:

Carefully placing a jug on a table crowded with books only to have it shoot straight up, stick in the ceiling (spinning) then shoot across the room, and somehow kill me.

Though, I did enjoy myself when a dawn sleeper agent shouted a battle call at me from the statue near the entrance as I was walking along the elevated sidewalk outside the Oak and Crossier. Dutifully I leapt upwards with my sword out powering up an attack, managed to land right on his head and swing, looking down. It swifty ended his impertinence, all before the guards converging on us could even get near. It was perhaps the shortest altercation of all time.

One night, I fouled up a theft or something, got the guards after me. I didn't want to pay the fine because I was saving up for a house, and had to run from the nord town near the Blades' fort down to the DB hideout. Obviously it was not an easy pursuit. That one night, I managed to go from being a perfectly lawful citizen, to having an infamy rating of 71. I am still paying the consequences.

Also, one time, in that same town, I saw the innkeeper from the place by the main gate chase down to the castle gates, and murder the altmer that sold furniture.

So far I've run into two people in different cities who say (to any NPC that stops in front of them), 'I don't know you and I don't want to know you.'

Cracks me up every time!

It's always fun to watch a bandit chasing after a fleeing sheep and yelling "You move like a pregnant cow!"

I found my assassinations of the various countesses of Cyrodiil to be fairly amusing.

(Animated, might take a bit to load on slower connections.)

Oh, and one time I had a freakishly weird "out of body experience." I got on my horse, and I disappeared. In fact, it almost felt like I was directly controlling the horse, like I had become the horse. I run around in circles for a bit, and then I encounter a sinister figure standing stiffly in the middle of a field near where I first mounted the horse... and then I realize that it's me, it's my character. I run into him, and he limply starts toppling down a steep hill, then suddenly the "You're dead" music plays and the reload screen comes up.
