Of all the bosses ive beaten in under 10 seconds, I just cant choose.Lately tho, the bosses in borderlands were ridiculously easy, as most of them you could beat by standing in one spot and holding down the fire button.
Whats the easiest boss you have ever beaten?
Kinda weird that I remember this specifically, but in Spiderman 2 You run into Mysterio in a convenience store after having this crazy battle with him. You literally punch him once and he goes down. I laughed pretty hard.
Crab Puncher from Mega Man 10. In a game known for dickishly hard Wily Castle bosses, this thing went down in my first try using the Mega Buster with half health. As soon as I figured out its weakness, it went down even faster. Practically done in three shots with the Commando Bomb. It's kind of an oddity in the Mega Man series really, for being so completely easy.
Gears 2 is definately the easiest... or The End in MGS3 (reset console clock/leave it a few days/shoot wheelchair after cutscene)
I love that Gearbox made a completely awesome game with a completely terrifying end boss (Cthulu's Vagina!) that forgets to activate its fight routines and just gets hosed as long as you don't move.
Kurt Dierker in The Saboteur. He even kills himself if you're too slow.
Mass effect 2's boss is a pushover. I get he kills the platforms, but he does it far too slowly to pose a threat.

Dead Space final boss was too easy.If you had enough plasma cutter ammo. No other weapon really worked on the guy. I knew I was about to fight him, so I stocked up pretty evenly on my favorite weapons, and barely had any plasma cutter ammo. I was still able to beat him, but because I had to wait for more ammo to spawn, this boss fight ended up taking me like 40 minutes.
Soulcage in the Lifa Tree, Final Fantasy IX.
He's undead-type, so just steal what he has then use a Phoenix Down on him.
Bam, insta-kill.

Even if the fight routines work it's useless. You literally just stand behind a pillar and you can't get hit, so you run out when it's not firing the giant push-back-laser-thing. I had more trouble with Badass Skags than I did with that thing.
Was gonna say the final boss in Bioshock and post a trollface image, but I guess Fable 2 is even worse.

Yeah, actually, I was gonna say some other boss but Mario bosses go down very quickly. I think the only annoying ones were possibly Mario 2? Not sure, that was a while ago. I suppose I say that as we don't have to consider difficulty levels. Would be unfair of me to say some boss I defeated on easy mode dead fast when on nightmare it would be near impossible.
Some of the bosses in Super Mario Galaxy 2 were crazy tough, but yeah, I'd generally agree. More recently, I agree with everyone that named Lucien. It also wins for most anti-climactic boss fight in recent memory.
Gannon on the original 8-bit Legend of Zelda: Fire the silver arrow right as you walk into the room = I are winnar!
Seriously? How does that work?Kurt Dierker in The Saboteur. He even kills himself if you're too slow.
Well this is an old thread. Actually, anyone remember that undead boss in Cosmo Canyon in FF7 in which case you can kill him instantly on your first turn by throwing an X-Potion at him? I love irony.

Pretty much this. He has no gun, realizes his fate and if you don't shoot him; he'll jump himself.
Not the bossfight I expected. But the trip that leads up to it was really strong and it was a fitting, and different, end to your antagonist.
The Gradius series always has really easy final bosses. Some of them don't even attack at all, Gradius V for instance. The actual challenge, of course, is beating all the levels and the bosses that do fight back.
I'm not sure if he counts, but Lord Lucien in Fable II had to be the easiest boss I've ever fought in a game. Assuming he can be considered a boss, he's astonishingly easy to defeat because you can kill him with any weapon you choose. Suffice to say, I chose to take him on using the pistol because it was the weapon I found myself leaning towards the most during the game. One shot from it, and he was dead. However... I'm not sure if he counts as a boss. To me, a boss is most easily defined as a unique enemy with a larger than normal amount of health. If that is the definition we all agree on then I don't believe Lucien is going to count. I do understand why the decision was made to give him such a low amount of health, though.
In recent memory, I'd probably have to go with The Dancing Spectres from Super Castlevania 4 (though this can apply to MOST of those bosses) since I went into the fight with the boomerang cross leveled up to 3, got in, threw all 3, whipped once, and I was done. I imagine a lot of bosses get that easy in the Castlevania games though under those circumstances.
The real King Allant in Demon's Souls. He's kind of just a slug that you smack around.
EDIT: Oh, and Sephiroth was kind of a bitch too.
This is going to sound bad to people who haven't played that game, but honestly the easiest boss I've fought recently that comes to mind is the final boss of Demon's Souls.
Also the Storm King from Demon's Souls was pisseasy.
I was always disappointed with how easy the bosses were in the 2D Mario games. Getting to the boss was the hard part, beating him was easy.
The End from MGS 3, Bowser in Super Mario Bros and Killing Hand which was a sub-boss in Persona 4, because Chie used Galactic Punt on him after his first turn!
Brayko from Alpha Protocol was at first one of the harder bosses I've faced recently. My second playthrough, though, I upgraded my pistol before fighting him, and he became the easiest.
Hideo Kojima is the only developer in the world that would dare to do something like that :p Gotta love himThe End from MGS3 is like a hundred years old when you fight him. So initiate the fight, advance your system clock, start the game up and bam! Dead of old age. Snipe that, fucka.
