Just a few minutes ago, we were starting a game on ns_caged and I said "hey guys, does anybody else feel like just jumping in the pit the whole game?"
And so we did. It wasn't just me and a few other guys annoying the server. We all did, together. We made a pyramid on the railing (even the comm!) and jumped in when the aliens made a final rush. It was great.
Next game was caged again, and I said "let's gorge rush!" One guy said we shouldn't, because that doesn't work anymore, but somebody else said they were down, so I dropped MC. And since most of the team was 'rine last round, they joined. It was fun. I haven't seen a gorge rush in a long time, not since 2.01. It was truly glorious.
The next game was ns_origin. At first we wanted to play a real game, but some Swedish guy was singing songs, and we all joined in. We sang songs, and did funny things with gorges, and we started saying "bite" everytime we bit someone. Then the Swedish guy started humming the Megaman song, and two or three fades stood around in furnace headbanging to that. It was hilarious. There was this one guy that muted about five of us, and we all made loads of fun of him behind his back. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
It's good just cutting loose every once in a while between all the hard competition and skulks going to full rage mode. Tell your stories of stupid fun and mic spamming in NS.

Haven't had "fun" like that for a long time
We were playing as marines on a 12v12 game on Tanith, and we had gotten of to a really bad start. At this point, we only held marine start, and the aliens had a 2nd hive almost complete in Sat Comm. As we all sat around base, waiting (slowly) for enough res for a HA train, our comm suddenly yells out 'WELDER RUSH' and dozens upon dozens of welders drop all over our base. (Keep in mind that this was in one of the earlier betas, when welders would still do loads of damage). The entire team started out towards Waste Handling hive, all of us with our welders out, holding down the triggers. We ran into a few skulks, who probably didn't know what to think of 11 marines with welders out... They got no more than 2 bites in before they were killed :-P. We actually managed to take down West Access RT, and almost got into Waste before we all died.
Then what happens? Beacon and WELDER RUSH again!!! The whole team stuck together, each time taking different paths throughout the level. We were virtually invincible to anything less than a fade! After about 8 welder rushes, the entire server was laughing too much to keep playing. The sad part was, we were actually getting a decent number of kills.
-------------------------------
Another funny story is back in 2.0 days, before Beacon would bring live marines back to base (only dead ones). The map was Caged, and the marines were dominating most of the map. We were closing in on the alien's final hive, when the Comm tells us that HA/HMG are now ready at base. I can't remember exactly why, but we had no means to get a PG back to base. Our comm comes up with a great strategy: we all type 'kill' in the console, and he will beacon us once we are all dead!
We are all standing in shipping tunnel, just outside Vent Hive, when suddenly, the entire alien team, skulks, lerks, & gorges, come rushing up the elevator at us! The aliens, apparantly, had been preparing this rush for some time, waiting until we were close to the hive and low on ammo/health. All of the marines just stand at the shipping node, staring at the hoarde of aliens pouring down on us. None of us fire a shot. Not a single one.
Just as the aliens cross the threshold into shipping, every last marine drops dead. All of us. I really wish I could have seen the expressions on those alien faces :-P.

As for comedy moments, the game on the wonderous <a href='http://www.ntfm.org' target='_blank'>no time for muppets</a> (/shamelessplug) where everyone decided they'd <b>be me</b> for a game. That was very sinister, being shot by yourself, running around with teams of yourself, and saying 'GG' to yourself.
This was also the game that featured the suicidal Onos, escaping being knifed as it didn't have Regen. So it leapt down a pit to avoid the shame.

In 1.04 when the mines still had lasers we decided to try something I read about. This was on the old ns_caged rine start. We must have gotten like 100 mines and set them up all over the rine start. We then get a skulk to try and get to the CC without setting the mines off. During this someone plays the Mission Impossible tune on voice comm <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> Unfortuneatly we only ever did this once <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Nope, most times all ppl in the server make a lot of fun a the same time, just instead of the -serious- attitude and -normal- behaviour...
Sometimes that's why they do it, just to **** you off....until you join in of course <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
