Programming is hard, and these glitches can result in some seriously funny and downright inexplicable occurrences. Here are our favorite glitches from video games that were all due to programming errors:<\/p>\n<h2>1. Madden NFL 15\u2019s \u201cTiny Man\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>This glitch resulted in a Browns linebacker being turned into a Thumbelina version of himself, but with all the speed, strength, and agility of his original size. The game creators rolled with the glitch, though, and even kept the mini player model after fixing the problem.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Big Rigs<\/h2>\n<p>The game itself is notorious for glitches; one of which is when a big 18-wheeler zaps itself through a bridge, hugs a mountain, and then speeds up to an unmentionable speed before crashing the game entirely.<\/p>\n<h2>3. The Sims games<\/h2>\n<p>Earlier versions of the game were known to glitch out, from smoking body parts to vanishing furniture. One of the most recent glitches that sparked an array of giggles is the \u201cmonster baby,\u201d in which a baby character is only a flesh-colored Picasso collage.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Pok\u00e9mon Red \/ Blue \/ Yellow\u2019s \u201cMissingNo. Trick\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>This \u201cPok\u00e9mon\u201d was used in a training video, to help teach you how to catch a Pok\u00e9mon. After talking to the Old Man, who will so wonderfully teach you the catching ways, you\u2019ll run into a wild \u201cMissingno,\u201d which is a nameless Pokemon glitch that can either duplicate items or delete your entire saved game \u2014 it was a 50-50 chance.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Super Smash Brothers Melee\u2019s Master Hand<\/h2>\n<p>It took eight years of thinking that it was impossible to play as the infamous Master Hand, but then the glitch was found!<\/p>\n<h2>6. Pok\u00e9mon Red \/ Blue \/ Yellow\u2019s Mew Finding<\/h2>\n<p>That\u2019s right, you can catch an actual Mew with this glitch, with no extra mods or special work on your part.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Tiger Woods PGA Tour \u201908<\/h2>\n<p>There is a specific glitch in this game in which Woods walks on water to get a better shot. It got so much attention, that EA Games had to address it publicly.<\/p>\n<p>There are many glitches in the video game world, because it\u2019s very complex to make them and oversee every single aspect of it once it\u2019s been released. Sometimes, but glitches are frustrating, but most times, they\u2019re just fun. What other glitches have you experienced?
