Everyone who's ever tried RP has at least one really funny story that happened to them or their friend. It's time to share.
I'll share the Saga of Sir Asmond with you one of these days.

I obviously remember Gerard, but Kerrah informs me it was Sir Propson the 'Gnomish'.
Mind-blowingly, last session we also encountered a knight who served as a go-between for Conrad and Hillsburg, a knight called Sir Alexander Propson. Turns out he's from that family line. Except in this case, Sir Alexander declared himself and his 60 cavalrymen for Hillsburg, against Conrad. So the legacy of Sir Propson is in our favour.
Also we met Bearnald's men in Hillsburg, led by a halfling called Scott McFergunson. I intend for Scott to be one of the leaders of the city's defence next session.

Finally a non-douchy halfling.

So in my Ironclaw campaign last year, I had three evil adventurers kidnap a guildmaster's daughter. The villains were obvious parodies of Vizzini, Fezzik and Inigo from The Princess Bride. How it was supposed to go was that the bad guys were working for the main villain of the campaign, trying to influence the upcoming King Election through blackmail. The players would take down the trio, and find vague hints that some evil mastermind was trying to overpower the electors.
The players dueled "Inigo" and chased his allies to a bog. There, they managed to corner them. "Vizzini" told them that whatever they're being paid by the guildmaster, they'll be paid triple if they switch sides!
The players switched sides. They spent the rest of the campaign working for the main villain. No offense to my Pathfinder players, but this still remains the biggest unexpected turn of events I've run into in roleplaying.

On the other hand, we have natural 1s. I would like devius to explain his experience playing the Swedish RP ruleset called Eon. I won't deprive him of that.
Recently in Pathfinder, my rogue was trying to infiltrate an estate alongside the national spymaster. The national spymaster is an idiot, by the way. As if to prove my point, he produced a lockpick to get a window open, rolled a natural 1, and smashed his body through the window after slipping.

My first time playing with these guys, I am introduced in a mental asylum as a cleric of a foreign god. I fight, do some damage, and am useful in combat.
Then, when one of our party members is trapped and (seemingly) about to get shot full of arrows I, completely on a whim, begin bartering for his life using a spell that amplifies my voice so that I can speak with his would-be killers. I then summarily barter away 500gp that wasn't even mine and that I didn't even know they had.
For saving someone's life, I am thrown overboard.

The one time I played DnD proper, my group included a child priest with a growth disorder that made him look like an adult, and a rogue who had an enchanted penis. When somebody was an asshole, the man's penis - termed the 'Anti-Douchebaggery Stick' - would become a viable weapon.
The only time he ever actually got to use it was against a member of our own party. He was a wizard, and the only real competent player in our group, but he was a dick sometimes. One time we killed some kobolds, and he joked that we should rape their children or something. The rogue decided that crossed a line and the assaulted him with the Anti-Douchebaggery Stick. He rolled a natural 20.
It was weird.

I have weird friends.
That was the only truly bizarre story from the campaign, though. The rest were stupid highjinks, like falling through a roof and then posing as a roof repairsman, or trying to use a half-opened chest as a raft to get to the middle of a lake. Or being beat up by Death's butler.
