The title pretty much explains it all. What moments have you encountered in games that just make you utterly think, "What the heck just happened?" I'll start with my examples.
In Tales of Phantasia, there is this ridiculously uber-powerful monster in the Morlia Mineshaft extension called the Land Urchin. It has crappy stats and low HP, yet it kills you just by TOUCHING it. O_o The only way to kill the damn thing is to use something called a Magic Tablet. OK, so I get some on hand and I'm sooooo curious to see what it does. I finally run into a Land Urchin and use a Magic Tablet for the first time. The end reaction is this:
"WTF, THE THING IS KILLED BY MAH-JONG TILES?!" O_________o rofl
Yes! I swear that's it! The attack animation for Magic Tablets is Mah-Jong tiles squishing the enemy! xd
Another minor WTF moment of mine is what I like to call the 3-Second Fluke in Sonic Adventure. When you play as Big the Cat and get to the Chaos 06 boss, the only object of fight is to hook Froggy inside him and reel him out. So once the battle started, I just cast out Big's fishing line and I can't even see where it goes. Lo and behold, I do hook Froggy in an instant and end the boss battle in about 3 seconds, hence my name for this moment. xp

The very first scene you see in Valkyrie Profile, not counting the Platina prologue. The one with Lenneth in a wedding dress, in a chapel, and she remarks looking back on the memory, "Nostalgic...."
....yeah. They never explained just what the hell that scene meant in the entire game. o.x;

In Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town [FoMT], you marry the girl by giving them the Blue Feather...
If you give Gray [rather good-looking in his own right] he actually considers your proposal.
Gray: What...? But.. you know... I'm not like that... -blush- well, maybe...
Me: eek Gray, marry meeeee! DDD:
And of course Rick's face whenever he argues with Kai.

Ahaha-- In FOMT, on TV--you know, the guide to farming show? "... And so you use to blue feather to propose!" "Sis, what happens when a man gives a blue feather to another man?" "... Um... there are many kinds of love... That's it for today!" It's not exact, but still. I rofl'd. In Baten Kaitos, Mystical Garden Detourne made go go WTF. It's a garden in which you can walk on the ceiling, and--get this--to navigate, you go through the Tower of DRUAGA, complete with 1984-quality graphics and music. Breath of Fire II also had some... interesting moments (and glitches). Old Lady: Do you want to learn how to combine souls? (Player selects "No") Old Lady: (explains in detail the aforementioned task) Not to mention Spar's amazing ability to change genders.

Well I haven't had many, if any, WTF moments cause I'm usually ready to accept anything but I really do like some funny moments in games. Many come to mind in 'Beneath a Steel Sky' as your robot companion keeps making wise cracks. When you first activate him he complains that he's been put into an old cleaning droid and you ask him what features he's got. he says 'Well unless you're into buffing and polishing, all I've got is a vacuum and an extendable probe.'
The real fun starts when you get outside and you're asking how to get down to the ground from 200 metres up. Joey, the robot, looks over the side of the walkway and says
'well you could always take the quick way'
'what's that?'
'jump!'
Later on you give Joey a welding shell attachment and he drives around in circles shouting 'Exterminate Exterminate!'
When you're trying to get into a doctor's office and there's a robot receptionist you tell him to try to talk to her, he asks how and you tell him to use his charm. 'Ok, I'll try the subtle approach. HEY YOU! OPEN THAT DOOR!'
Unfortunately, later when you eventually get down to the ground you step out of the small lift and Joey plummets down in front of you and smashes on the floor, he'd forgotten that he could no longer fly with the heavy welding shell on top of him. His circuit board was still alright and you get him back later in another robot but he's not around to help you for a fair while and his shell doesn't last very long when you do get him back. cry
He saves your life and the city in the end though. 3nodding

Three words: Secret Nazi Breath of Fire
In Breath of Fire 2, when you drop from a cracked floor in Evrai church, you go to the centre of a crossroads. You can take one of four paths, but they look like a nazi symbol thingy (Forgot what it's called). It reminds me of the Legend of Zelda dungeon that looks just like it.

It's called a swastika and the Nazis weren't the first to use it by far.

Thoughts Buddhists also used it, only the other way round. My grandmother sews the pattern into blankets and I'm like "Isn't that the swastika?" and my mum's like "...no, how would my mother know about the Nazis?"
So yeah...

I know it gets mentioned a lot here and there, but "Naked Raiden" xd
Now I was okay with the whole "Okay... my player is naked... and when I do a cartwheel... eek " ...but while is this vulnerable state, your commander becomes all glitched up and is sayign the most random things. The biggest "WTF?!" for me was when he came up and said something along the lines of "You know... this is just a game. Go ahead and turn it off. Seriously, sitting in front of a t.v. playing games like this is bad for you." I'm like "WTF?! YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TELL ME THAT DURING THE GAME!!! gonk scream stressed crying "

Ok, in the game I just finished, there is no one moment that makes me go "WTF!?"
The whole game made me do that.
The Neverhood.
There's really no way to explain it. It's just pure WTF-ness in a game that lasts only a few hours. It's just...
*no words*
If you ever get the chance to, play it xd
That's all I can say.

I was playing Halo's Silent Cartographer level last week and I'd driven a Warthog (a jeep) down into an indoors area of the level going full speed and got it wedged in a doorway. This being Halo with invincible Warthogs, I decided I'd try and squeeze it through the door way. I chucked about 10 grenades at its rear and finally got it through.
Having achieved my goal, I drove it through this narrow hall until I found some enemies. I'm sure THEY were surprised to see a jeep running them over while underground.
Anyways, I can't proceed with it any further, so I abandon the jeep and continue the level normally. I return after achieving the goal to find my jeep still there, so I drive it back towards the exit. Now, if you've played this level all the way through, you know there a sword-wielding, gold armored Elite waiting to kill you as you exit. What he didn't know was that swords aren't much good against a fast-moving jeep. After making him road pizza, I proceed to get my jeep stuck in the same doorway. I wanted to take my jeep back outside with me, so I grenaded it again until I could drive it the rest of the way through.
And that's my WTF Moment.

Dude! Grenades can get it through that door? I'll have to try that.
There is a WTF moment on halo that was absolutely frikkin brilliant.
I was watching Adeaus and DJrikki play halo together and they had reached the entrance to that same place but were up the ramp just next to the outside. They drove the warthog around a while and then tried to drive it inside, but got it stuck. They bailed out and there was a feirce firefight with lots of explosions as the dropped plasma grenades of the enemy exploded.
Once all the shooting stopped they both stepped out to look down the lane, DJrikki said 'Dude, where's the warthog?' and after a perfect moment of dramatic tension, the warthog landed end down on DJRikki's head and flattened him, Adeaus getting a perfect shot of it but unfortunately the recording wasn't on cause otherwise that would be the most awesome halo movie ever.
It took at least 10 minutes for us all to stop laughing, good thing the elites had all died in the plasma chain reaction cause otherwise they'd make some easy kills. We still never let DJRikki forget that moment, and mention it at appropriate intervals.
