Teaching your pet in Black and White to toss its own shit into rival towns food supplies, so it gets poisoned and they all die. This leads to them begging you for mercy, and converting to you as a god.
Planescape is a setting where belief shapes reality. In Planescape: Torment the protagonist has dies numerous times always loosing his memory in the process. As such, recovering menories is a big part of the game. In one flashback you can debate with a person whether he exists or not. When you win the debate, they go poof and stop existing. You can also convince one of your companions to stop existing (which you should, because he's annoying).
In How To Be A Complete Bastard on the Spectrum (and I assume the same behaviour exists on other platforms, too) - which is loosely adventure game, there's a number of actions with... impressive results:
* If you fart in the kitchen, the house blows up.

When you are auditioning for the role of BJ in a propaganda movie the lines that you can choose from some of them had me laughing my ass off. Not to mention the scenes with Hitler afterwards are also Gold.
Here's what kills me every time I see the video. Adam Jensen is played straight as a man with nothing to lose and looking for answers. And here he comes straight out of the Larry, Curly, and Moe school of MMA to handle the situation by bonking people's heads together and back hand slaping the conscious shit outta them... I fucking love it. I die every time.
