Post your funny things to do to your opponent when you are winning by a lot
I'll start.
When playing Terran, you can land your vikings and put them in medivacs. Fly them to your opponents base and unload and shoot some stuff... when he comes to get you, put them back into the medivacs and fly away. I just think this is the most hilarious thing to see vikings getting loaded/dropped from medivacs :D LOL.

Use the medivacs to transport viking thats a really funny idea!!
Some guy BC rushed me off 1 base (very very late expansion unless he snuck one), I figured he was just going banshees so I just got a few vikings + turrets and forgot about it. Turns out I was wrong and after I had expanded and built up my ground force he came at me with 5 BCs o_O
the complete bad manner way to win.. when you know you can perform the final kill at any time you want (and you're 100% certain).. just keep him pushed back and perform all kinds of achivement hunt you can from the matchup.. like if you're terran.. get BC's and start to yamoto his workers
me and a friend did it in a 2v2... even the warp in 50 units with warp prism... built zealots and sent them within the range of the enemy planetary fortress.. then hold position
Mass Void ray with Mothership. Eventually I was attacking on Kulas Ravine on 2 places (top left position and bottom right position). My ground army (zealot/sentry) attackign top left and my air army (VR/Mothership) attacking bottom right. Eventually he went to my ground army and I mass recalled them he was like. Motherships OP ...
It's actually really strong if you can get a big enough ball of them going. Being able to drop like a dozen PDDs and still have piles of energy left over makes them basically immune to all but a handful of units in the game (and they're light, so Void Rays aren't very good against them), and being able to wipe out piles of air units with HSM's and drop small armies of Auto-Turrets before flying back to your base without taking a hit is simply fantastic.

I prefer a medivac picking up a thor! NOW THAT was hilarious! I would advise that everyone tries it once just to see how retarded it looks having a medivac carrying around this big chunk of metal LOL

That is actually a total viable startegy which is often done. Sic.

Yea thorship is a totally viable harass strat that I often use against zerg. You don't even need a cliff you can just plop it down to take shots at buildings lings/roaches. Early on it's so powerful...
This was done to me that was pretty genius. Nydus into someones base, and while the nydus is going up block their ramp with changelings. I lost bc I didn't notice the changelings and couldn't get into my base. Thought my units were bugged lol.
I was playing zvz and saw him go early pool late gas. I went late pool early gas. . . so when i saw his lings near my base (long map, don't remember name) i built a spine crawler at the top of his creep with my scouting drone. While he was busy microing his lings at my base, it was building (he had no overlord on his creep, they were at my base). When it finished, i foundo ut that it was in range of his hatchery.... GG :D. I sent some lings down to protect the spine crawler as it slowly ate away at his hatch. a lovely surprise for both me and my opponent. Didn't think it would work, was just doing it cuz the drone was down there.
A TON of banelings. I used this against a terran player because I was too mad to play a real game versus terran. He was doing a 1-1-1 build that was marine heavy. There was blood on the sands. Eventually he got banshees but I had seen them coming and had 4 bases and threw up a few mutas and ended the game.

mass hallucinated random shit with DT drops. 4 sentries with energy being dropped, phase mode to warp in DTs. if you open stargate, then by the time you know you won the game/get hallucinate you've got everything but maybe carriers and colossi depending on build. you'll also usually discourage detectors because of you fighting for air control. it's a double mind fuck.
when i'm zerg i like to get 4 overseers since that's about a base's worth of production facilities and just contaminate shit over and over. i also mass changeling and just follow-move into the army. sometimes this produces the hilarious accidental deaths of his own tier 1 via firing squad as the imposters get killed but usually not. if more than a couple integrate themselves i'll start randomly controlling them while my opponent moves out and try to fuck up the pathing of the rest of the army. idk, makes me laugh when i imagine them being like "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS MARINE DOING!?"
well this was done to me in a 3v3 but it was quite interesting as i didnt know waht the hell was happening and since infested terrans were moved around from unit to unit from production i paid little attention to it until yesterday. so i was protoss and the zerg managed to sneak in an infestor into my base and burrowed it there. 3 minutes later i see a bunch of SHIT popping out of my base like it was having diarrhea and i'm like...WTF is going on lol and then i brought my obs and killed the infestor but we still lost the damn game =(.

Well I meant more in the sense that it looks funny to see the medivac carrying the chunk of metal below it, but it's good to know you guys like it as a strat
Feedbacking medivacs with units in them gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
Edit: yea, it's a common viable strategy, but it's prevention is so counterproductive, speaking o which, could you have two marines shooting eachother and 2 medivacs healing them to drain energy?

A funny LOL strategy I have is when I play as Katerina and have a Nunu team mate is that we close in on an enemy from opposing sides and then release our ults. No matter which way they run, they will get hit by the full brunt of at least one of our ults. I can imagine the guy sitting in his chair going OH SHIIIIIT

You can do that?
Yeah, there's actually an achievement you get that when playing zerg, you warp in a zealot.
Though that's a hell of a tech tree to get through for a mothership.
Other amusing things about neural parasiting a probe, assimilators etc can be used by both drones and probes so long as they're on your team. I also think you can chrono boost your zerg structures as well to speed up research etc.
Usually I just end it and get on to the next match. No need to BM people.
However, when it's a coworker or buddy of mine IRL, I have dropped drones in their base, and using ovies for creep spread pushed them with spine crawlers. :D

What's really fun is getting a team of heroes that all synergise well with sunfire capes and ALL just massing them (nasus, mord, ramus, new vamp dude, etc) You just all run in and stand around their team watching them die...
On an SC2 note, which this thread was 'meant' to be about, pure mass infestors in FFA quickmatch games. Anyone comes into your base you FG the whole army and throw down 50+ infested terrans around them, so fun. Also just massing banelings and turning on the 'explode vs buildings' autocast and telling 300 of them to attack move to the back of the opponent's base is incredibly amusing to watch. It's just waves and waves of green acid death.
anyway, mass baneling and infestor for the most spectacular sights and mass hallucination is also pretty cool in FFA, because any ridiculous unit composition is believeable.
Me and my 2 friends have won a couple 3v3 matches in some silly ways. Two times we rushed with nothing but 4 of our starting gatherers and would all attack a player at once killing all their gatherers, we could usually get 2/3 and would ALWAYS get 1/3 as resource sharing isn't allowed until later. We've also planetary rushed two 3's matches and won using 5 command centres each.
I tech to robo facility. drop a probe in their base, and mass cannon their base, cannon rush without the rush. with my lack of minerals, and excess gas, go mass sentry + hallucination, and in the final battle, warp in 30+ colossus
The funniest thing I've done in a game was toward the end of Beta Phase 1, where I made a Creep Tumor frown face in a Terran's natural on Lost Temple, right next to his last remaining Turret (after I had wiped out 90% of his forces). I'm just going to say that TLO must have stolen my idea for TLOwnage.

I did that so many time in my 2v2 placement match. God it's funny xD
Also, in a 2v2 that was ZZ vs ZZ, my ally just made tons of baneling (TONS) and just completely raped the roach army of both player ( I helped a bit with my own roach) then a second wave of baneling killed almost all structure of one of the enemy (hatch, pool, roach). We didn't stop laughing for like 10min.
build hatchery at enemy's choke.. cancel it now build a spinecrawler/evo chamber at the 4x4 creep spread that the hatchery leaves... watch broodlings/spinecrawler eat your enemy :d
