So what are some trophies or achievements that you find amusing?

I honestly like it when developers have some fun with these.

One that's honestly made me laugh out loud was "I did it for the trophy" from Yakuza 0.

Which you get by watching one of the live action bikini model videos in the game.

"Stage Fright"



Naughty Dog's reference to their demo freezing during E3 2015. Those were fun times.

Simpsons Game. Press Start to Play



As well as Lollipop Chainsaw "I Swear I Did It By Mistake". It knows its audience.

Metal Gear Solid 2 - Snake Beater trophy. I wasn't expecting it and I busted out laughing when it popped.

Description of the True ending trophy of Bloodborne for the Latin american localization, technically it's NOT mistranslated but the wording is hilarious.

The way they worded "You have become a child great one" could be interpreted as "You have become a big boy"

Master of Controls from Splosion Man
you get when you try to change the controls... on a game that only has one action therefore every button does one thing only: Splode

Also, for the opposite reasons, Sega Genesis Collection has a "Talk to a Dolphin" achievement and the game literally starts with you in front of a dolphin to talk

I was always a fan of 9-Irony, from BioShock 2.

You get it for bashing an Andrew Ryan animatronic in the head with a golf club. It's also a throwback to an achievement in BioShock 1, simply titled Irony.

Forgot the trophy name but there was a trophy in Uncharted 4 to replicate the 'dual shock 4 malfunction event' in the Uncharted 4 E3 presentation by just standing there not moving for a few minutes.

Also in dark souls 2 (i think), the first time you died, the trophy for that is called 'This is Dark Souls'.

There's great ones in Wandersong. Kind of a spoiler to discuss:

You don't really get many, if any achievement for the first act of the game. Your main character is frequently told he can't save the world because he isn't the hero. At a low point in the Bard's story....

ENTER THE HERO

who promptly spams the ever living shit out of your achievements for doing every little thing like jumping 4 times, attacking 3 enemies, etc

One of the few times I really appreciated an achievement system. That scene probably ends up not having that punchline on Switch, not sure how it handled that.

"Well, this is the part where he kills us..."
"Hello, this is the part where I kill you!"
Achievement unlocked: The part where he kills you

TLOU has one for 'survive all of ellie's jokes'

Star Trek bridge crew has a lot of good references if you're a trekkie.

IIRC Resistance 2 has one for killing the same person X number of times called 'because I love you'

The original red dead redemption had one for kidnapping someone and tying them to the train tracks like a old school villain.

Chromehounds had one worth a single point for completing the game on the hardest difficulty, I always liked that. FROM have a sense of humour.

Another one from Uncharted 4 besides the aforementioned "Stage Fright" Trophy that I really liked was the teophy you get for killing like a 1000 dudes. It's called
Ludonarrative dissonance
Got a chuckle out of me, definitely.
