Lloyd's paper fans and Presea's Pow Hammer (it's a toy hammer and it SQUEAKS WHEN YOU HIT ENEMIES WITH IT) from Tales of Symphonia. Also, they're more 'glitches,' but if you put Presea and Zelos into their fancy costumes, there's a chance that their weapons will be swapped out with a teddy bear and a bouquet of roses.
The nail clipper in Bad Day LA (I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who likes that game...)
And the severed cow head in Postal 2. Apocalypse weekend had some very amazing stupid weapons too, like the boomerang machate and a scythe. Man that game is addictive, I want to play it again.
And then there's that weird weapon in Cave Story+ which degrades as you level it up, in the end shooting rubber ducks which do 1 damage.
I've also seen some indian videogame having a cow as a sidekick... At least in the video it was (it crashed through a wooden wall sorta thing, Kool-Aid style), but now Im on my way to look that game up 'cause I'd be stupid not wanting to play that shit.

Let's see here... Gonna make some fairly-old references.
MDK - The Cow Dropper.
Robo Pit - Teke-Teke.
Discworld - A Sword That Goes "Ploink".
Final Fantasy 7 - Nail Bat.
MediEvil Games - Sir Dan's Arm.
Soul Calibur 3 - Nightmare's Squid
Earthworm Jim 2 - The Brick Gun.
Also, since there HAVE been Beast Wars games,I would like to include Waspinator as a joke weapon.

I'd have to say the flamethrower in an old Atari/Amiga platformer called flood
arguably the best weapon in the game - pressing fire would send a stream of instakilling fire right across the screen. One problem though... every fifth shot, instead of a massive stream of napalm, you got a rubber chicken - and a shocked expression on your characters face.

Just to be pedantic here, is a joke weapon something funny in an otherwise 'serious' game, unlike say every item in Disgaea where the whole game is trying to be funny?
Anyway.
Cant believe noone has mentioned Final Fantasy 7! Instead of a spear Cid gets a mop, and Cloud gets a baseball bat with a nail through it

Fallout Tactics
Joke weapon - The Chauchat. Based on a real-life WWI-era French machine gun that gained a pretty bad reputation with American soldiers for being unreliable and highly prone to jamming due to the barrel not being properly modified to accept the ammunition being used with it and magazines with open sides that allowed dirt to clog them up. It was typically seen as being pretty useless.
In-game it's a a "Big Gun" class weapon which can be picked up and equipped, but can't fire.
In game item description: "Renowned as the worst machine gun ever issued to any army at any time in history. Unreliable and poorly constructed, it was considered unusual if the gun fired more than one burst before jamming. It makes a completely useless addition to any arsenal."

The Cluck Shot from Gears of War 3. That was such a pain to get but sooo funny. Worth the payoff.
Gonna have to say the Sheepinator from Ratchet and Clank 2. Me and my friend used to have so much fun with that thing.
I want to say the Morph guns from the Ratchet & Clank series, but I guess that wouldn't count since it's a humorous game...
The teddy bear weapon from Prince of Persia; Warrior Within, then! Have only seen it in a video though. Missed the spot where you pick it up last time I played.

Ah, the Klobb. Not only the least powerful gun, but also the gun with the largest spread pattern and a pathetically low rate of fire for a machine pistol. Even dual-wielded, you were better off with pretty much anything else.Broken Orange said:
