My all time favorite has to be the remote chainsaw glitch in Gears 1.

You would do some glitch magic involving reloading your Lancer, pressing B, and switching weapons at the same time, and whatever weapon you switched to would have chainsaw properties. Except when you went to chainsaw someone, the animation would play but there wouldn't be any sound or gore and they wouldn't die. They'd just stand there flailing around sarcastically then run away extremely confused that you just pretended to chainsaw them with a shotgun. Whenever you pull your Lancer back out, they immediately explode and die, hence "remote chainsaw". You could hold their life in your hands for the entire round and use it to mess with them hard. And if they were familiar with the glitch they'd be on edge knowing it was coming at some point. Also if you died, they would automatically die.

I liked it so much because it was completely harmless in the sense that it didn't affect gameplay negatively at all. You still had to perform a chainsaw kill in the same way a regular one had to be, except you just choose how long you want to spare them after the "kill".
