Top 14 Funniest Video Game Glitches of All Time

The Giant Catapult – Skyrim

Fact: Skyrim is a very buggy, but very fun game. Bethesda’s notoriety for glitches and bugs can lead to disasters (ahem, Fallout 76), but in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s case, the glitches are a near-infinite well of comedy gold. A perfect example of this is perhaps the simplest and most common bug: The giant catapult.

If you’ve encountered a giant somewhere in Skyrim’s vast expanse, you’ll quickly find that they aren’t all too friendly. In fact, if you get too close to a giant, it will launch you into the stratosphere with a velocity only NASA’s best engineers could match.

Is this a bug, or is it intentional? Frankly, it’s hard to tell with Bethesda. It sure is dang funny, regardless.
