Back in the AIM days, I registered "NinjasKickAnus" because the word "Ass" was filtered out. I was probably 12 or 13. I used this same username for a while, and when signing up for Xbox Live, I had to shorten it due to character length. Without really thinking, I just made it "AnusNinja". It took years for Microsoft to force a change on me, but the amount of berating I heard on mic was insane - mostly homophobic, but still. Didn't even consider it at the time, I just thought it sounded funny. Sadly it still is my Steam log-in name, and I don't think this can be changed whatsoever.

I also used "sticky_monkey_balls" as a reference to the Sticky Ball from Monkey Target in Super Monkey Ball. I don't think I've ever been good at this.

Friend of mine, he's had terrible online names for the 15 years I've known him. Current one is kureji-san.

For cringe, a lot of variations of something like xXDarkShadowXx. Basically what you expect to see on the back of a 12 yr olds trapper keeper.

For comedy GIANTBLOODYHORSEBONER was a regular on a counterstrike server back in the day.

This one was so good I had to screenshot. You could find at least 5 hilariously shit usernames in each CoD match it feels

My favorite was Puibo.

We called him Pube-o

Met some of the coolest people thanks to Pube-o. If you're out there Pube-o, we miss you man.

His Emblem was the peace sign, a fist with two fingers raised in a V. The tips hand was brown but the tip of the two raised fingers were red.

All that use numbers instead of letters or use random upper and lower cases.

It doesn't make your name look cool, you only produce inane gibberish, noob.

My own.

It was a user name I'd used since I was like 15? Used it on my PS2, and then scrambled to register it for PS3 when those registrations went live. All these years later and I deeply regret it because it's just as cringe worthy as it fucking gets, and I have too much money invested in the account to abandon it.

I invaded a guy in Dark Souls Remastered who had a phantom with him called "InvadersAreGay".

Happy to say I killed him :P

I remember running into a "Whats Yo Myspace" back in the original live days. Always found that one hilarious at the time. I also used to play with someone named goochhairisfun (never knew what it meant at the time, and the kid had to be like 12 lol)

Every time I played with my brother in Sea of Thieves before he got around to changing his generic Microsoft-given nickname.

"Avast, ye scallywags! Prepare to face the wrath of Captain Camjo and... MushyBike7784."

Anything that has a meme name in it or twitch chat emote names. Also, anything with 420, Xxx (or any variation) or 69.

Example: XxxPEPE69OMEGALUL420xxX

All the butt stuff in this thread. No cringe to be seen.

I used to play Saints Row multiplayer in a gang called D3r4nG3D. That was acceptable for my 13-year-old brain...until he made a beat box rap about us. I quit the next day.

In CS 1.6 two guys. They were the best players and played together.
One was "ju[DE]" which is German for Jew, and the other one was "ne[GER]" which is the N word in German. So shitty.

I feel like 90% of default Microsoft screen names sound like sexual euphemisms.

Once ran into a player ghost in Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup named (spoiled for offensive)
Niggerkiller

The drawbacks of no name filter, I guess. Fortunately I was able to report him.
