The one with the knights in the center is pretty funny.
Most unusual or funny positions!

I'm glad you liked it! I did make the final knight move to make the four out of purely aesthetic reasons to be honest, it was just too funny and unusual to resist! xD
Would love to see other peoples strange positions!
I had a recent game where we both ended up building an impenetrable pawn wall across the middle of the board. I thought it was rather funny. Neither of us wanted to be the first to give up a piece to break through.
A game I recently played :
"4...d7e4"
"5. bxh8N"
"kings touching"

Hah, that is a novel position. Super closed. Must be 20-30 moves in without a single capture. How did the game proceed? Its quite the arduous task of manoveruing your peices till they are poised for a breakthrough. Must have been a funny game to play
Here's the game.
Stubborn player wouldn't resign, so I made my F pawn a knight to mate them with!
Wow, y u no queen?
[COMMENT DELETED]
An embarrassing loss of mine where the Cfile is almost full!
Played this game yesterday, this ending can happen only in low ranks where I am 
That reminds me of a game I played a while ago. It starts with a blunder, but the mate at the end is kind of amusing.
I think the whole game is amusing in how my opponent just sort of sat there and let me mate him when there was no reason I had to win that.
This game is also amusing.
Did you ever win a game and think "that was close."
Well think again. After a series of blunders, this is the most Pyrrhic victory I've ever had.

I found that mate quite amusing, I imagine your opponent was like "HAHAHA IM UP A QUEEN" before yelling "BLIMEY GOVENER, A MATE IN ONE! BAH! CHESS IS FOR LOSERS ANYWAY" xD
I liked xmaz's games also. Obviously not perfect play, but the mate where the king was completely trapped behind doubled pawns was funny. Isn't the Bxf7+ completely sound? If you had of played Qxg5 on the 10th move you'd have been a pawn up with his king severly disadvantaged.
Seems I have luck for suicidal opponents, this one ending I call "King in the castle"
This game (with plenty of blunders) led to several peculiar positionss, especially at moves 8 & 46 where my (white) pieces all occupy the h file.

This is a thread for unusual or funny positions taken from your own games! I have two that I will share with you to get the ball rolling, one just aesthetically really quite something - bishops on similar diagonals and knights occupying all the central squares! The other is just a winning endgame where my opponent was amusingly locked in.
