So yetsterday i was playing some Oblvion and was doing the Thieves Guild missions, and I finally met the Gray Fox in Bruma. So i went to see him, and knowing my mind of wanting to screw around with him, I moved a cup that was next to him and he began screaming, "THIEF! STOP! GUARDS! GUARDS!" and I was thinking to myself, "Why would he call the guards on a fellow member, when he would get caught too." So the guards came and said i am under arrest and i just wanted to point in their faces that the GRAY FOX is right next to them which is who they are really after. Haha, just a funny little experience i had, has anyone had any funny experiences like that?

Funny things in Oblivion...
I once stabbed a thief in real life and the police came after me! Not only that, but they called an ambulance to save the thief! Absurd!
That is true, like every other person sounds the same but maybe the voice a little amplified.
When I first started reading the comments, I thought people were trolling until I realized they were actually talking about the game. I accidently shot a Soldier patrolling on a horse near Wayn when I was in a field shooting arrows in random directions. Turns out, arrows can fly pretty far. Also, Rocks eat horses and launch them vertically in the air where they never come back down.

I've seen guards randomly attacking civilians in towns, which always ends badly for everyone involved. No one expects the Inquisition.
I did the paintbrush glitch and sniped people from above...this made the A.I. go crazy and the guards started attacking each other and citizens. I also was watching somebody sneaking in the one tavern in Bruma..they ended up walking through a wall into the fireplace and dying...then their body was floating in mid air. Basically a bunch of stuff like this. :)
i dont have a funny oblivion story, but i have rediculous saints row 2 story. So im walking along looking all fly n shit with my pimp can shotgun, when i see a cop car pull over a pedestrian car across the street. I stop and watch as a pedestrian gets out of his car, and starts running across the street. The two officers proceed to exit their vehicle and chase the man down. Pretty soon, they catch up. One pulls out a taser, and the other a baton. The one with the taser shock the pedestrian, he falls to the ground, stunned. The officers then beat the helpless civilian to death, then get in their car and drive away, leaving the bloodied and bruised body in the middle of the road.
This happened to my very first character.
I was traversing terrain when I jumped off of a cliff and ended up wedged between two rocks on a mountainside. I spent an hour trying to free myself, but my attempts were in vain. I rarely saved my game so the save that I loaded was early on in the game.
I set a sleeping bandit on fire, and she proceeded to stand up slowly and complain about rats waking her up with their squeaking.

That both sucks and is hilarious at the same time. And I like that you tried to free yourself for that long before giving up.
I remember doing the quest for one of the Daedric Princes where you have to make everyone at the dinner party in the castle go crazy by using a special spell.. When you use it you lose all of your possessions and then have to escape from the city with the guards after you..
I was a fairly high level when I did this quest, and I recall trying to escape from the guards who followed me outside the castle, into the forest arround the city. Obviously, I begin to get attacked by wild animals, which I'm forced to kill using my fists. But when the guards watch me punch and kill a bear using my bare hands, don't you think they would back off?
I'd have to say this was one of my biggest issues with the game. The daily routies and NPC's having a bit more personality was a great addition, but the fact they react to nothing they do made them seem very inhuman.
I always found it funny when you'd approach someone who doesn't like you and they'll angrily say, "Oh... it's you" but then when you actually click to talk to them they're fine with you or asking for favours.
I also had an experience (nothing sexual) with the Adoring Fan... I'd caught vampirism and, while working out how to get rid of it, needed to bite sleeping people's necks in order to keep the blood going. One time I didn't realise the Fan was following me while I broke into someone's house and sucked their blood. He went crazy and said he'd go and tell the guards, so I bolted outside after him and took him down with one swing of the axe. It was about 2am, game time, and pouring with rain when I found myself dragging his corpse into a river to try and cover my tracks. I left him bobbing up and down in the water and sort of forgot all about it.
A few weeks later I was passing through that area of the game again, sometime at night, and just saw a distant glow from a torch. I walked towards it and as I got closer, there was the adoring fan. Resurrected and happy to see me. I told him to stop following me after that.
"Even more funny when the game glitches and the guards float around chasing the civilians. Used to happen to me all the time.I've seen guards randomly attacking civilians in towns, which always ends badly for everyone involved. No one expects the Inquisition.

Moving this to the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion forum.
i have this spell that frenzies someone on touch right, so i go to the market district of imperial city at noon and frenzy this beggar. So the beggar attacks someone and all the people nearby and guards attack that one beggar in a massive mosh pit. After they kill the beggar, the AI are still crazy and attack eachother which causes a huge riot in the Imperial City haha.
i went to the Skingrad Alchemy shop and talked to the Dark Elf Female store owner. This then resulted in her asking how much the fine was for necrophelia, which was rather lol wut? worthy to me.
I'm not going to say that's funny. I'm going to say that's a perfect example of how non-immersive and annoying Oblivion really is.
Once i summoned something (i dont remember exactly what it was) in the Imperial city market district, I then procceded to attack so that the summon would attack me back and the guards would fight it. (I just wanted to know who would win) Any way it turn out a few of the gaurds must of hit each other whilst attacking my sommun because after it was dead a huge riot took place with atleast 20 gaurds and then because the were attacking each other, more gaurds joined in. When it was over there were a hell of alot of dead bodies and my character just standing there. So i went to the next area of the Imperial city and did it all over agian : )
I always enjoyed this.
I had finished the Dark Brotherhood questline and decided going through the Mages Guild. So before I went off I grabbed the Khajit helper and did the mission, during it I told him to go stealth. I finished the mission and never remembered to tell him to un-stealth. But I fast traveled to the Imperial City and I turned around to see, my Khajit helper invisible.....From the neck down. So I was moving around, with a freaking floating Khajit head.
Well thats all.
I found a man in a cloth squatting in the woods, so I approached him and he started talking to me as he was squatting. It just seemed really odd to find a man pooping in the woods as he talked to me. And what did he talk to me about you may ask. Well he talked to me about picking berries.

Umbacano caught me stealing in his mannor, so a guard came and I run. I reached Leyawiin and I thought I had lost him, but the combat music didn't stop and I couldn't rest or sleep. After some time he appeared and I run to Cheyindhal. Same story, but this time I entered the dark brotherhood sanctuary when he appeared and he finally gived up.
In Bruma I entered the inn looking for Ongar and suddenly a guard came, slayed him and left.
