i have the utmost confidence this will be a very short geeklist. there maybe some scruffy challengers who think they're ready (maybe some unbeknownst game featuring puck and human hygiene) but i've searched the games database and there are no gary colemans or peewee hermans in our midst, the best out there is an omar sherif game (knock out first round). and i've seen the kid with the green goo and the tighty whiteys with the skids... dont even try. this is heavy weight wackiness we're talking about.
i'll call an honest match and announce a winner (this judge can be swayed by massive consensus).

lets get it on!

thank you to all of the contenders. unfortunately there can only be one champion.
the judges scorecard for world's wackiest game can be found here:

and in this corner the undisputed champion of whack who laughs in the face (er chest?) of busen memo. starting off in modest beginnings with some kids declaring "this game is cool" in between choruses of "ice ice baby dun da dun dun dun dun dun..." who would of thought that with the rise of the likes of nwa and the typhoon of public ridicule of its namesake we would see this game rise from its humble beginnings to champion of the gaming world. from christmas wishlists to pure "oh my god, this must be hell" magic (Michael Debije). this game will put the smackdown on any challengers. it features the electronic beat box for petes sake.

It's hard to think of a more satirical game than Panzer Pranks ("WWII as it really was in the movies"). Where else do you find rules about stacking female and male tanks in the same hex, resulting in unintentional pregnancies and paternaty suits.

From the box......

Lie, Cheat & Steal is a political simulation in which the players are trying to be elected to public office. Unlike most political simulations, which are based on how elections are supposed to be run, Lie, Cheat & Steal uses true political methods of vote buying, libel and under the table deals to advance to office.

Really sad story. In highschool a bunch of my friends and I played strip Risk. Since there were no women there, and we were all straight, it made it very difficult to win. Clothes came off as territories were lost, and went back on as they were won.

Nobody won that day.

Fortunately, I somehow managed to redeem that experience with Strip Pictionary. We were all VERY good at the game, except for the team with the attractive girl.

Everyone won that day. :D

Whoever comes last in the race is the winner, and the optimal strategy is to fall asleep for most of the game (in which case your sloth gets a token with a picture of a log being sawn on it).

The other point of interest is with the rather well-endowed farmer playing piece. He's holding some sort of farm tool that makes it look like he's got a hugh dick. Given that it's a kid's game, I guess it's appropriate to exclaim "but would somebody PLEASE! think of the children." Guess he spent too much time behind the barn...

I just remember being so bummed on christmas morning; now, all these years later I see the darned thing again! I forget where I saw or heard of it... must've been tv.

The idea here is to go on the worst date possible. But wait, that's only half the game. After your horible date you meet up with friends (the other players) at a bar and try to get free drinks out of them by telling em your sob story of your horrible date. Watch out, if your friend's dates are worse you'll be the one ending up buying drinks!

Appearently, whoever spends the least amount of money on drinks at the end of the night is the winner.

It is all about Breeding the perfect Lawn Gnome. The fact that they are bought, sold, as worked as slave labor in the garden is weird. The fact that they are all male is just dowright whacky.

I believe both the Lord of the Rings series and Discworld comment on the fact that this is the case for dwarfs (both sexes have well established beards). I don't have the quote handy from Discworld, but it was along the lines of "once brestfeeding is complete, there is no difference in male and female dwarf work, so why differentiate?"

Not much of a game, Capital Punishment was a parody on the American criminal justice system, and the follow-up publication to Public Assistance, which ripped the US welfare system, and associated cultures.

Neither has any real value as a game. They're simplistic roll-and-move-and-read-the-instructions-on-the-space/card designs, with less imagination than even Monopoly. Conservatives will likely find it humorous, and liberals will find it inflammatory; both reactions are just what the designers -- a couple of businessmen back in the '80s --- intended.

No real replayability. :yuk:

If you owned this one, you wouldn't say that. (I don't even want to put it on the list)

Great list! My vote goes to the Snifty Snakes one. It Just doesn't get whackier than that.

Snifty Snakes probably does win.

However....I read somewhere about a British game where you stuff foam babies into a Call Box until it explodes. Has anyone ANY idea what game it might be?
