  • [Narrator]: Huh, this doesn't look right.

  • Welcome to WatchMojo.com and today we're counting down our picks for the top ten video game glitches.

  • Since there are so many glitches to choose from,

  • we've decided to narrow down our list by steering clear of game-breaking bugs, focusing on one glitch per game franchise,

  • and ultimately, judging these glitches based on their entertainment and notability factor.

  • Let's start with something more peaceful, relaxing and OH MY GOD, WHAT IS THAT?!

  • This is a weird glitch that usually happens 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?

  • A game this big and detailed is bound to come with a few kinks, like the suicidal cop glitch.

  • However, the one we're going with is a glitch that's not only humourous, but fun.

  • Grab a car, and then drive to this swingset located at Firefly Projects in Broker.

  • Then, slowly drive up to it and keep accelerating until...

  • Now, this could get me to sign up for NHL Game Center.

  • 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 a line change is occuring.

  • What makes this glitch even more awesome is that EA Sports released a video making fun of it.

  • [Person]: For us it's all about authenticity. It's making sure that when a big guy hits a small guy he sends him flying...

  • [Narrator]: While you might think that the "manimals" deserve this title,

  • we've instead given this prize to what we might imagine a modern gangster would ride around if he were in the old west.

  • "Check out those pimpin' hydraulics on that wooden chassis, partner."

  • Of course, since this is still a glitch, actually trying to drive one would result in...

  • Yeah.

  • It was impossible to narrow down a single glitch from Skate 3,

  • as the game's unusual physics in Free Skate mode allow for some pretty hilarious moments,

  • like trying to use the force to grab your board,

  • or deciding to spotaneously visit the sewerby jumping through the sidewalk.

  • Sadly, these glitches have often been cited as more entertaining than the game itself.

  • Bummer.

  • Skyrim is also pretty big, and as such, has a lot of bugs to choose from.

  • So for this list, we're narrowing it down to two.

  • The first happens at random, when a Dragon pulls a Powder Toast Man, and ends up flying backwards.

  • And the second happens whenever you do the Ice Form Shout to an enemy on a cliffside.

  • Woah, I did not see Foost-Roh-Dat coming.

  • A popularly exploited glitch that has since become legend,

  • the bugged Pokémon, with a name that stands for 'missing number',

  • appears by first talking to the man in Veridian City, who teaches you how to catch Pokemon.

  • Then, fly to Cinnabar Island and surf along the east coast line until the seemingly pixelated Pokémon appears.

  • Confronting this glitch has two effects:

  • it duplicates the sixth item in your inventory, but also causes the Hall of Fame to crash.

  • CAUTION: SPOILER ALERT.

  • In the final act of the game, when you find out who the killer was,

  • a rare glitch can appear in what is supposed to be a very emotional scene, turning it into comic gold.

  • There is no direct feed footage of this bug in action nor is it known yet how to produce it,

  • but regardless, the constant ("Shaun!") is one video you're gonna have to check out.

  • This glitch happens whenever the cartridge in the N64 is tilted, causing NPCs to spin erratically.

  • What makes this glitch memorable is what happens when you put the footage on the internet,

  • and a little song called 'Promise' is mixed in.

  • The song, mixed with the erratic dancing, spawned an internet meme, where people would dance in erratic poses, done completely in editing.

  • where people would dance in erratic poses, done completely in editing.

  • Taking the top spot in our list, is the most famous glitch of all.

  • While the backwards long jump in Mario 64 was handy for exploitation, it can't top the infamous "Minus World".

  • Performed by clipping the wall as shown here, it takes you to World -1, which is essentially World 2-2,

  • but with one difference: it's unbeatable. That's right, you are doomed to die here.

  • With so many glitches to choose from, we couldn't have put them all on the list.

  • Let us know which is your favorite glitch in the comments,

  • and for more informative top ten lists published everyday, be sure to suscribe to WatchMojo.com.
