excluding game breaking bugs and
ultimately we’re judging these glitches
based on how infamous and entertaining
they are number 20 jumping face Call of
Duty ghosts this popular shooting
franchise has a disturbingly hilarious
secret equip a rocket launcher with a
ride shield as your secondary weapon
then crouch and constantly aim down your
sights to create what looks like some
sort of entity piercing through
someone’s skull just what is that thing
it looks like it’s trying desperately to
escape this poor guy feel free to
number 19 invisible faces Assassin’s
Creed unity the glitch that spawned a
thousand nightmares for players and UV
soft alike
upon its release Assassin’s Creed unity
was played with so many bugs and
glitches that it affected the public’s
trust in the series yet this infamous
bug stands out as the poster child for
the broken mess the game was if you ever
need a reason not to fall asleep just
remember that he is always watching you
number 18 round 100 duck hunt apparently
the programmers thought no one would
ever get as far as level 100 in their
game because in the ultimate form of
torment when you get to this level okay
hang on where was the duck oh you can’t
be serious
you know if videogame Olympics were a
real thing this might be a red flag to
test that duck for doping number 17
giraffe man battlefield 3 during the
beta for battlefield 3 there was a
random glitch where a soldier may end up
with no limbs and a long neck this poor
guy apparently can’t seem to crawl
properly and for some reason shoots his
he scores bonus points when he grows so
big he covers the subway or at least we
think that’s him number 16 get a room
fifa 12 fifa 12 features a rare moment
of over-excitement that can happen when
you score a goal in which the striker
starts making out with the goalkeeper
from the other team whoa
watch that hand there guys it’s great
that professional sports these days are
more accepting of LGBTQ players but
having lovers on opposite teams playing
against each other is there a franchise
rule against that
they probably should be traded onto the
same team number 15
backwards super long jump super mario 64
this is a popular exploit used by
speedrunners to access areas of the
castle previously inaccessible without
best performed in a corner this glitch
allows Mario to build up enough jump
momentum to pass through solid walls or
travel incredibly long distances
Superman style glitch or not the guys
who do these jumps are freaking Wizards
[Music]
number 14 twisted dr. Mitchell Fallout
New Vegas I’m doc Mitchell welcome to
good Springs this creepy glitch is
strangely relevant to the story as the
intro of New Vegas starts with the
player getting shot in the head and
having a doctor reconstruct the players
brain the game was rigged from the start
[Music]
but upon awakening you get the idea that
he didn’t get the reconstruction quite
right
oh and if that wasn’t creepy enough look
what he does next whoa there what are
you doing do you know what website we’re
on here take it slow now
it ain’t a race number 13 creepy Watson
Sherlock Holmes nemesis hello dr. Watson
how are you I did didn’t tear you in
time known as Sherlock Holmes versus
arsène Lupin in Europe this terrifying
glitch has Holmes sidekick dr. Watson
channeling a weeping angel from Doctor
Who as he follows you throughout the
Jesus dude apparently the developers
didn’t give him a walk animation
resulting in this creepy phenomenon oh
number twelve the corrupted blood
incident World of Warcraft we can take
it on September 13 2005 the introduction
of the Zul guru braid created a server
wide panic the reins n boss a car the
soulflayer would cast a spell called
corrupted blood which caused players to
slowly drain health for a few seconds
however the spell also spread to any
NPCs or pets and dismissing pets would
cause the debuff to remain indefinitely
as a result the spell spread like a
plague across multiple servers and
Blizzard was forced to do a hard reset I
think it affected either the incident
even drew the attention of real-life
epitome logistic how humans would react
in a viral breakout whoa I have one
infected number 11 the Ascension of the
now here’s a glitch that seems like it
came from biblical scriptures during
Edward Kenway travels on shore he may
return to a ship only to find it missing
and the water around where it should be
has parted revealing a deep hole in the
ocean plus your crew members are stuck
above the hole hovering in the air and
then things get really strange oh and to
number ten demonic babies Sims 3 for the
love of all things holy just kill it
with fire
please this is a weird glitch that
happens usually with newborn or infant
Sims we understand that their mothers
will still love them but how on earth
does one give birth to something like
that are those claws or fingers we can’t
quite figure it out number 9 the
catapult swing set Grand Theft Auto for
a game this big in detailed is bound to
come with a few kinks like the suicidal
cops glitch however the one we’re going
with is a glitch that’s not only
grab a car and drive to this swingset
located at firefly projects in broker
then slowly drive up to it and keep
accelerating until number eight
Hercules check NHL 13 now this could get
us to sign up for NHL GameCenter alas
the only place to really see the
Hercules check is in NHL 13 the glitch
occurs whenever you check another player
into the open bench door while the line
change is occurring what makes this
glitch even more awesome is that EA
Sports released the video supposedly
endorsing the glitch and acting like it
was always meant to be there for us the
phone went off and it’s making sure that
big guy hit the small guy he sent him
flying number seven pimp my wagon Red
Dead Redemption we’ve given this entry
to what one might imagine a modern
gangster would write around if he were
around in the wild wild west
check out the pimping hydraulics on that
of course since it’s still a glitch
trying to actually drive one will result
number six bad physics skate three it
was impossible to narrow down a single
glitch from skate three as the games
unusual physics and free skate mode
allows for some pretty hilarious moments
like trying to use the Force to grab
your board or deciding to spontaneously
visit the sewer by jumping through the
sidewalk sadly these glitches have often
been cited as more entertaining than the
number 5 glitches galore the
you get a glitch and you get a glitch
and you get a glitch Skyrim has a lot of
bugs to choose from and were
highlighting three the first happens at
random when a dragon pulls a powder
toast Minh and ends up flying backwards
and the second happens whenever you do
the ice form shout to an enemy on a
and finally the third appears to be the
fantasy equivalent of a cheese flying
bike ever seen a horse turn into a
flying pinball we think not number four
you
a popular exploited glitch that has
since become a legend the bunt Pokemon
with a name that stands for missing
number appears by first talking to the
man in Viridian City who teaches you how
to catch pokemon then fly to Cinnabar
Island and surf along the east coast
line until the seemingly pixelated
Pokemon appears confronting this glitch
has two effects it duplicates the sixth
item in your inventory but it also
causes the Hall of Fame to crash
sidenote considering this pokemons
infamy why hasn’t missingno become a
legitimate pokemon yet
[Music]
number three Shaun heavy rain
in the final act of the game spoiler
alert when you find out who the killer
is a rare glitch can appear in what is
supposed to be a very emotional scene
turning it into comedic gold just watch
it’s even better towards the end
Ethan picks up Sean and carries him
while still shouting his name amazingly
the glitch still remains in the ps4
[Music]
number two get Dan Goldeneye
[Music]
this is a glitch that happens whenever
the cartridge in the n64 is tilted
causing NPCs to spin erratically and we
do not recommend trying to replicate it
but what makes this glitch memorable is
what happened when you put the footage
on the Internet
a little song called promise by heroes
Comey is used as background music the
result is this amazing mean that
inspired people to dance and erratic
poses done completely in freeze-frame
editing number one – world Super Mario
Brothers Mario might just have the most
famous glitch of all time as it’s
practically synonymous with gaming
itself you can perform this glitch by
clipping through the wall at the end of
world 1-2 as shown here and then
travelling down the nearest pipe this
takes you to world negative one which is
essentially world 2-2 but with one
difference once you get in the pipe
you’ll go back to the start
