2) Any teleport in a storm - World of Warcraft

Grief factor - 3 out of 5
Glee factor - 5 out of 5

Real life offers us very few opportunities for opening mysterious doors that lead to nowhere. This greatest of the cartoon deceptions is superbly achieved in World of Warcraft.

How to: You’ll need a Warlock with Summoning, two fellow bastards and one innocent victim. Head for high ground - we recommend the lifts at Thunder Bluff - and lay your trap. Summoning will teleport a teammate to a location about five feet in front of where you stand. So if the tips of your toes are over the edge of a cliff, that won’t be firm ground. Get your mean buddies to activate the portal, and emo🍒te sweetly to your mark. We like to think of the load time as the gaming equivalent of cartoon feet scuttling in mid-air, before your victim plummets out of sight.
