The Funniest Threads from Gaming Subreddits This Week

29 November 2025

If you’ve spent any time on Reddit, especially among the sea of gaming subreddits, you know it’s a goldmine for laughs. This week, Reddit didn’t disappoint. From hilariously glitched NPCs to painfully relatable rage quits, the community brought its A-game with laugh-out-loud stories, memes, and totally unhinged gaming moments.

So, grab your energy drink, sit back, and get ready to scroll through the absolute best, most side-splitting threads from gaming subreddits this week. Trust me, this list is like looting a chest and realizing it’s all legendary gear.

1. When Skyrim NPCs Go Full Psycho

Redditor u/DragonSnaxx posted a clip titled “Just a normal day in Whiterun,” and well… it was anything but normal. The video showed a guard moonwalking into a wall while yelling “Stop right there, criminal scum!”—to a chicken. Yes. A chicken.

The comments went off on this one. Some users shared their own tales of NPCs losing it over minor infractions—like shouting at a player for “stealing” a cabbage.

> “I stole a wheel of cheese and ended up with a 1000 gold bounty. Cheese is dangerous in Skyrim.” - u/HealthPotionAddict

Classic.

2. Elden Ring Players Discuss “Creative” Rage Quits

Over on r/EldenRing, a thread titled “What’s the weirdest way you’ve rage quit?” blew up in a matter of hours. While most people just Alt+F4 and call it a day, this community? Absolute chaos artists.

User u/MoonlitMadness said they deleted the game mid-boss fight, but forgot it was cloud synced. They reinstalled, and the boss fight restarted immediately.

Others went all in—one user flung their controller so perfectly that it hit the power switch and turned off the console. That's some Olympic-level rage right there.

3. GTA V NPC Logic Is Still a Glorious Mess

Someone on r/GrandTheftAutoV posted a video simply titled “Why did I get the cops??” The video showed the user walking down the street, an NPC running up, punching them—and they got the wanted stars.

Cue the uproar.

> “I jaywalked and now five stars. Realism 100.” - u/CursedByTrevor

This turned into a whole thread of people recounting bizarre moments, like getting a wanted level for being too close to an explosion they didn’t cause.

4. R/SteamUsers Share the Funniest Review of the Week

Over on r/Steam, someone unearthed a real gem. A 4-word review of a Soulslike game: “I cried. Still 10/10.”

Honestly, sums it up perfectly.

The community started sharing their favorite mini-reviews, leading to some absolute classics:

- “Game broke my GPU. Worth it.”
- “Fell into lava. Again. Great time.”
- “Would let this game ruin my sleep schedule all over again.”

Steam reviews: where the comedy never ends.

5. The Epic “Invisible Boat” Bug from Sea of Thieves

On r/Seaofthieves, a user posted a clip of their pirate standing on open water, floating midair while the boat was completely invisible. But the context? Even better.

They had spent 30 minutes strategizing a stealth attack on an enemy crew—only to discover that their own ship was glitched out and see-through, making them literally visible from across the sea.

> “Turns out Ghost Ships are just bad rendering.” - u/SaltySloop69

Everyone jumped in with their own bug tales. Let’s be honest, if the developers ever make a “Bugged Moments Compilation,” it could win an Oscar for Best Comedy.

6. The “I Have No Idea What I’m Doing” Thread from r/Gaming

A totally relatable post titled “Started playing a strategy game, 4 hours in... still don’t know what’s happening” took off on r/gaming this week.

The original poster was trying to play Crusader Kings III and accidentally married off their heir to someone literally at war with their kingdom.

The replies? A masterclass in bad decisions:

- “I tried to assassinate an enemy king and ended up killing my own court jester.”
- “Accidentally declared war on my own vassal. My army just stood there confused.”

It’s like the political version of accidentally friendly-firing your teammate in COD.

7. The “Certified Gamer Dad Moments” Compilation

From r/daddit and r/gaming came a thread that was peak comedy and wholesome wrapped in one. Titled “My son beat me in Smash Bros and gave me a PowerPoint on why I suck,” the post went viral.

Turns out, the PowerPoint had legit slides:

- “Slide 1: You roll too much.”
- “Slide 2: Stop spamming smash attacks.”
- “Slide 3: Learn to recover, Dad.”

Naturally, fellow gamer parents piled in. One mom said her six-year-old “teabags” her in Roblox every time she loses. Another dad said he grounded his kid for 10 mins after getting absolutely wrecked in 1v1.

8. NPC Roasts in Baldur’s Gate 3

On r/BaldursGate3, someone shared a clip titled “When the NPC’s roast you harder than your party.” Their character tried persuading a merchant with low charisma and got slapped with this reply:

> “I’ve seen smarter goblins talk their way out of a rockslide. Move along, slime.”

That roast was so savage it should be illegal.

The thread turned into a roast battle highlights reel. Apparently, the devs really went all in on giving NPCs insult-combat-level sass. Do not attempt dialogue with a charisma stat under 8. You’ve been warned.

9. “Pet AI vs. Reality” in MMOs

In r/MMORPG, a hilarious thread appeared titled “Why do in-game pets have death wishes?” The attached video showed someone’s prized wolf pet running straight into AoE poison and just standing there.

> “My bear ran off a cliff last week. Just yeeted itself into the void.” - u/LostTankMain

Other users chimed in with stories of healing pets that died before battle started, pets that glitched and attacked quest givers, and a chicken that somehow soloed a raid boss (no one could explain that one).

10. “WTF Moments” in Indie Horror Games

Over on r/indiegames and r/horror_gaming, a thread titled “This Game Had No Right Being This Funny” featured clips from an indie horror game where ghost jump scares triggered… with fart sound effects.

Yep. Someone modded it.

But it worked.

As the video went viral, the community flooded in with their favorite hilarious horror moments. A user mentioned a time when the ghost in Phasmophobia whispered “Boo” as it killed them, thanks to a mod. Creepy? Definitely. Hilarious? Also yes.

11. Street Fighter VI’s “Accidental Fashion Show”

Someone on r/StreetFighter posted a glitch-gone-right that turned into an unexpected catwalk moment. Their fighter’s skin bugged out to show a ridiculous jester outfit mid-match.

Instead of restarting, they ran with it. The opponent literally paused to laugh, and both players just started posing.

The subreddit loved it so much someone rigged a mod to change every costume into carnival nonsense. Now matches are less about fighting and more about who can wear the most absurd hat.

12. Minecraft’s Cat Army Uprising

A player on r/Minecraft shared a thread called “I Tamed Too Many Cats. They’ve Taken Over.” A screenshot showed 100+ cats… just sitting, staring. Like a furry cult.

> “Their leader sleeps on my bed. I have no say anymore.” - u/FishBlockFace

Even better, the cats wouldn't let hostile mobs spawn near the base, making them weirdly OP.

Other users replied with their own pet hoarding fail stories (looking at you, WolfPack9000), turning this into a brainstorming session for who’s the most insane animal tamer in Minecraft.

13. The Accidental Speedrun From R/Speedrunning

One of the funniest accidental threads this week came from someone who “accidentally” speedran a game by walking through a bugged wall and rolling credits… in under 3 minutes.

They posted it like, “Uhhh… did I break the game or am I just a god?”

Speedrunners rallied in. People tried repeating the glitch, debating if it counted as a legit category (spoiler: it does now), and memes flew like shurikens. Speedrunners never miss a beat—or a bug.

14. “Tell Me You’re a Noob Without Telling Me” Thread

You know this one was bound to be good. A classic entry on r/gaming asked players to “Tell me you’re a noob without telling me,” and the responses? Absolute comedy gold.

Top responses:

- “I thought stamina regenerated faster if I shook the controller.”
- “I kept reloading because I thought bullets were infinite.”
- “I tried to melee the tutorial boss in Sekiro.”

We’ve all been there—maybe not that far gone—but we’ve all had our noob moments. No judgment here.

Final Thoughts: Reddit, You Never Fail Us

This week in gaming subreddits was pure comedy. From cursed bugs to overconfident parenting fails, gamers once again reminded us that the community is just as entertaining as the games themselves.

What makes it all so good is that it’s real people, sharing real (and really dumb) moments. It's like sitting around a virtual campfire, swapping war stories and laughing until your headset mic cuts out.

Keep an eye on these subreddits, because next week? It'll probably be even wilder.
