After just having cleared the mine of spiders for the frost monkeys(commonly known as Nords) my Altmer strode out on his way to get his hard earned cash.
A random NPC commented " nothing much going here might as well move along" or something like it.
Just a split second after a dead Hagraven fell down from the mountain and flopped about on the floor...immediately followed by an ancient dragon that slaughtered half of the small settlement.

I just stood there dumbstruck. Yeah nothing to see here, move along now. LOL

Haha, that would have made a hell of a screenshot if you turned subtitles on.

Someone saying "Nothing to see here..." while a dragon rampages in the background. Epic.

Lydia is supremely dedicated to protecting me with her life and in that regard, I just have to laugh when I cross a stream and she goes after the Slaughterfish that tried to bite me.

"Now you'll pay!"

"You won't get the best of me!"

hahaha, you go Lydia.

Heartless Skyrim...you're heartless.

That it is... that it is.

Two redguards showed up inside Whiterun's gate after I completed the In My Time of Need quest; they didn't say much, they were just standing around.
I pickpocketed their gear (free crappy-but-special swords, clothing respawns when you return to Whiterun later...)

So they were standing around, naked. The farmer dude walks by and comments about a chill in the air.

Being a master of Illusion and a master Pick Pocket I've managed to create some very funny moments. My favourite is when I go around in Whiterun stealing every one's weapons and armour. Yup, I leave them nothing. Then I throw a mayhem spell into the shops area and watch the ensuing chaos. It never gets old. Lol.

One of the strangest incidents I saw happened at the Nirnroot farm outside Ivarstead. I find an elk wandering in the farm and suddenly 2 hunters come running in and shoot it down. Then one of the hunters threatens a squawking chicken and kills it. This didn't go down well with the guard who proceeds to hack and kill both hunters. It was so unexpected that I couldn't help but laugh!

I've also seen a fun magic fight between a spriggan and hargaven. The spriggan won... typical. It came after me next and died from an arrow to the head.

Hmmm...I think I might have just discovered why there are so few people in Skyrim prisons. We all know that Aerin is the most anoying person in this game due to his constant doting and worshipping of Mjoll. Especially if we end up marrying Mjoll. So I thought instead of murdering him in cold blood I'll lock him up in jail. So I go to Riften jail and turn clipping off to get into a locked cell. Next I teleport Aerin into the cell with the moveto player console command. Good job! Aerin is never gonna be a hassle again right? Wrong. He promptly opens the door to the cell that was locked just a second ago and runs right back to Mjoll. Hmmm...the lock was pickable so that could explain it. Okay then, we try again. So I pop into Whiterun prison and get into the prison cell that requires a key. Rinse and repeat and lo and behold Aerin is where he belongs again. Locked away from society. So I walk out the cell and turn clipping back on and get ready for some screen-shots. And then I saw the power that is bestowed on an NPC. He spends about half a minute running against the bars then stops, backs up a bit and I'll be damned if he does not run right through that gate. Straight back to Mjoll. At least Whiterun is quite the distance from Riften. Let's hope he meets up with a hungry Ice Troll along the way. Now that would be funny! :D

I had just returned to Breezehome after an extended trip out dungeon crawling. I had capped off three Side Quests, and battled hordes of Draugr and Bandits, and I imagined my character to be pretty tired and weary.

Now prior to to this outing, I had decided I wanted to go at it alone, so I had left my wife Muiri and my Dark Brotherhood Initiate Follower at home as I didn't want them getting in my way during my explorations. This was decided by me as my Followers had repeatedly gotten in my way during my quests to return the Thieves Guild to its former glory.

So imagine my surprise when I walked into Breezehome that night to see that my women had done a little... cleaning. Not only was there a dead anonymous Thief in my house, but there were three of them. Apparently, over the course of a couple of nights, random NPC Thieves had actually broken into my house as I had seen them do at other random houses in the town. But I don't think they expected to find a Dark Brotherhood Assassin and an accomplished Alchemist waiting inside. Not to mention my Housecarl Lydia who is there all the time.

I had to pause the game because I laughed so hard.

I was in the alchemist shop in Solitude. The Alchemist told her niece to bring her some Mandrake Root. The niece asked what Mandrake Root looked like. The alchemist told her that it looked like an ugly little man. The niece said, "I think one of them tried to buy me a drink last night."

So, recently my girlfriend was playing her character and me and our roommate were watching her play.
My girlfriend gets eaten by dragons in combat a lot. This has never happened to me except once. I play a heavy tanking/warrior style character and she plays a mage type character. So while my gf was at the menu drinking potions and adjusting her items we were discussing our different run-ins with dragons and how I never seem to get eaten, my roommate seems to have gotten eaten occasionally, and my gf gets eaten by dragons apparently all the time and it annoys the crap outta here. So we were theory crafting and brainstorming trying to think about what actually determines that.

I make the statement:

Me: "I don't know, I'm level 42 and I've only been eaten by a dragon once. I think it's got something to do with your health or maybe your armor rating."

Roommate: "Yeah, it'll happen I think if your health is too low, as like a death kill or something. That's why she's drinking the potions to keep her health up."

Me: "I don't see how this keeps happening to you two. I don't have this problem myself ssooo yyeaahhh...."

My gf: (finishing up her menu stuff) "It happens all the time to me! I think if I keep my health up it won't happen."

Roommate: "Probably not."

*Girlfriend unpauses and backs out of menu to continue the fight*

*Dragon immediately eats her*

My gf: "He [censored]in' ate me!"

We all lol'd.

I got to a random Alduin raising a Named Dragon. The Dragon was Raised, went and attacked a Mammoth. The Mammoth just casually turned it's head, jammed it's tusk into the Dragon's Brain, and went back to grazing.

I ended up having to kill the Mammoth, a Second Mammoth, and a Giant in the camp in order to get the bones.....

Still traveling with Janessa, I found an abandoned shack near Ancient's Ascent. She had gotten lost as I decided to just carefully jump down the side of the mountain while she apparently went the long way around.

Anyway, the shack didn't have a map marker or anything, but had a chest and an unowned bed. I raided the chest only to hear some loud footsteps and heavy breathing nearby...

I slowly backed into the corner in sneak mode with my bow drawn.... "That's a damn troll..." I said to myself. There was only a doorway and window in the shack to shoot through, and my sneaky archer/assassin wouldn't last 10 seconds in a one-on-one melee fight with a troll.

"Thud thud...(heavy breathing)....Thud Thud....(heavy breathing)....THUD THUD...."

"He's right the f*** outside!" I thought to myself, trying to remember when my last save was. I took a deep breath, ready to mount a final charge and....

"Hyah! Nerevar guide me!" It was Jenassa!! I ran outside to see her finishing off the troll with a nice dual-wield finisher.

Sigh of relief....quicksave...living to adventure some more. Jenassa can by companion forever now.

Coolest episode, I run into an sable cat who would kill me fast so I tried to run away, came to an narrow canyon and jumped down to the river at the bottom, was taken by the river and ended up far away, reminded me of the scene in the start of the Avatar movie.

One strange thing who is borderland exploit, I entered a house in a fortress filled with mages and was attacked by two of them who did insane damage, Lydia went in for melee and was cut down before reaching them and my health was falling fast, I turned around and escaped through the load door, Drink two potions and was healing up the rest of the health then Lydia came out the door looking unharmed, entered again and the two mages was dead.
How did she manage to kill them both?

Dropping items, I was stealing in Riften and had to much to carry so I dropped some firewood, some helpful fool gave it back to me. Another time an guard got angry because I dropped an weapon.

Alright well apparently I triggered the appearance of an imperial courier just outside Riften, but I entered the city before he actually popped up and now he appeared beside me inside, the guards it turns out really don't like imperial couriers and sent him packing with a volley of arrows.

The funny part is the townsfolk took great offense to this and went hostile with the guards, it left me dumbstruck as this massive brawl erupts all around me with vendors and thieves guild members and everyone else duking it out with all the guards and it just kept spreading all through the city, everywhere people were trying to kill their guardsmen.

I had to reload the autosave and very quickly exit the city before the imperial spawned so the guards outside could deal with him when he showed up and not agitate everyone around but it made me chuckle.

I was playing with my warrior and there was a room with all those fire and ice mages. I didn't notice how many of them there were, so I charged forward to kill the one I saw first. Then, they all came towards me, I killed them all except this fireball mage who was constantly hitting me. Being low on health and potions, I ran for my life without noticing I was running over a trap plate that activates a spiked door. Stupid mage was right behind me, and as I stepped onto the trap, the door came over him and sent him flying to the other side of the room.

This other time, I had to go into a ruin to kill some bandits for a bounty, and there were some more of them outside. I fast-traveled to a nearby place and sneaked near the ruin. A dragon decided to appear at that moment, and I thought "No way I'm gonna face all those bandits and the dragon at the same time" so I kept sneaking behind a wall. Neither the bandit group nor the dragon saw me, instead it was just a fight between the two. As it turns out, there was a giant/mammoth encampment nearby, and all the mammoths rushed over to fight the dragon. The dragon died in the end, but then the mammoths started attacking all the bandits. I hoped one group would kill the other (3 mammoths and a few bandits were left) but for some time the mammoths would keep going up and down the stairs, attacking the bandits, then the bandits would keep firing arrows, and apparently everyone had become immortal. I reloaded the last save 4-5 times but the same thing kept happening, until finally I gave up and decided to reload and do something else.

My first flying animal experience was pretty entertaining. I was walking down the path out of Whiterun and there was a wall of rocks to my side, so I couldn't really see around. Right when I turn the corner, I see a mammoth float straight up into the air, straight down, and then walk away. I stand there blinking for a bit and then quickly go in the other direction. XD

Of course, the hilarity potential of Fury is pretty high as well. In another Whiterun escapade, I cast Fury on a bull and then watched as an old woman with a dagger (I think it was what'sherface the Feeble) ran up and started fighting him. Mysteriously, she was the only one who attacked, so I just sat and watched this duel between a cow and an old woman. The woman won.

I don't know how funny these are, but I was amused.

I was at Sarethi Farm when a blood frost dragon attacked. I, a Riften guard who happened to be there, and Avrusa Sarethi (who used Flames) all took down the dragon without much trouble; I got the special kill animation, only the second time I've managed that. Anyway, while I was absorbing the dragon's soul, an Argonian thief suddenly appeared and gave me the "give me all your money" line. I was like, dude, didn't you just see me kill this dragon? Do you see this glass armor I'm wearing and Elven sword & Orc dagger of shock I'm wielding? Do you see me absorbing this dragon-that-I-killed's soul? That wasn't a dialog option, but it should have been. svcker went down in about three swings. No daisy at all.

My first two characters were female. Their interactions with Camilla Valerius were pretty basic. Even after one married her, she mostly just repeated that line about how great it was to have the Golden Claw back. Then I played a male Nord, heaviest body size. Upon entering the Riverwood Trader for the first time, Camilla said, "Ooh, aren't you a big strapping one!" LOL. She said something else suggestive later, after I brought the claw back. Guess I know now what she really likes.

It was funny when Jenassa kept triggering a swinging gate trap because NPC's can't walk around obvious trigger plates. She eventually got past it, though. Because Jenassa cannot be defeated.

The fact that some animals and people are suicidal, I've had about 1 NPC and 2 guards fall to their deaths in front of me for no apparent reason in Markarth. Sadly I don't have the speech option to suggest to the Jarl to install railings.

Roll a sword and board warrior type , spec everything into block until you get to the top perk , and block everything in the game. This especially funny while fighting in high places as your enemies will fly off in all directions limbs akimbo.

I don't know if this is funny or sad... I think I'll go with funny.

One of my characters is not only a High Elf, but a Thalmor sympathizer who does everything she can while in Skyrim to help their cause. She's killed all the priests of Talos she's found, helped Ondolemar in Markarth, and never interferes with the roaming Justiciars. She is also a sneak archer who crumples like tinfoil if she somehow ends up in melee combat.

I decided to walk from Markarth to Dawnstar, mainly to level Illusion by spamming Muffle along the way. Just outside of Karthwasten I ran into one of the aformentioned Thalmor patrols with a prisoner. I talked to one of them briefly, but mostly just walked along near them, spamming Muffle and picking flowers. Together we dispatched some Forsworn and a couple of skeevers, then up ahead I saw another Thalmor patrol. These ones, though, had red dots and were yelling something like "This is what happens when you mess with the Dominion!". When they got close, the guys I had been walking peacefully with also turned hostile and started attacking. I sprinted ahead, managing to get the attention of a camp full of bandits that was near the road, a pack of wolves, and a bear before sprinting headlong into Robber's Gorge...

I survived, but at this point I think I want to reload rather than deal with the identity crisis...

I'd HAVE to go with funny, since I'm laughing so hard I have tears running down my cheeks, and (predictably) I'm getting nowhere explaining why to husband (non-computer-user, non-gamer....)

Where were the mobs in Robber's Gorge though? Had you already cleared it?

Nope, they joined in the parade. I chugged a few stamina and invisibility potions, kept sprinting until I found a rock to hide behind, not far beyond there.
