When I was with ELP. We had an instance where one of our players was utilizing Streak SRM's, I believe in a Catapult. Running at an enemy light that was running towards him, he shot the SSRM's... only to have one of the missiles stray, and hit his already damaged cockpit, destroying himself with his own Streak SRM's.
no we never let him live it down.

Couple of Tourmaline SDR moments:
A buddy and I were flying around legging enemies in our lights. We found a lone Jagermech who tried to run back to his team once we started shooting him. The moment he turned his back on us we shot one of his legs out from under him and he simultaneously stopped and dropped his arms so that it actually looked like the mech itself had just realized it wasn't going to make it...
Before the hill climb changes I was being chased by a Hunchback and right after I turned a corner I ran up the wall to my right, circled around, and dropped right behind him. You could pull this off now with jumpjets, but he didn't have any idea where I was until the death view rotated around to show him.

For me, the most humorous moment came when a Unit buddy asked, "Hey guys, I forget, but how do I switch off the HUD?"
Another Unit buddy replied, "Alt+F4."
"Thanks!" said the first.
A second later, the match message appeared "Unit Buddy 1 has disconnected."
It's been two years and I still can't stop laughing.
...And no, "Unit Buddy 1" is not the pilot's name. I just didn't feel like exposing him to y'all.

Just to clear it up, mech corpses actually behave 2-ways. When the mech die it's corpse becomes 'weapon-transparent' until it stops falling down/moving. When it freezes or the ground (or just stays still on its legs), it starts blocking shots. This is probably made to avoid creating chaos with HSR getting confused by kinda random way the mechs fall down and allowing shots in when they should be blocked by the one falling down and blocking shots when they should go next to the mech falling down.
Yup, pretty much.
Had a super crit raven shooting at me from behind a dire(which were the last 2 mechs left) after the dire died I blew the raven's leg off through the dire as it was falling down, then he shut down inside of the now dead limp dire and I couldn't shoot the raven and we lost on caps.

Literally just now...
Was near the end of a match and a cored, sticked, weaponless stalker was playing sneaking and capping points on conquest. Last 4 mechs were a Commando and the Stalker on our team and a Marauder and Cheetah on the other. Stalker got seen by the marauder while moving to the cap point and they played chase around it with the Marauder shooting a it in the back (only armor left on its CT) and survived until the match ended by score for the win.

why would you waste time trying to kill a weaponless mech when the point clock is ticking??
bad team is bad and kudos to the stalker for pulling that out

Looking back on it now, it was funny but at the time I was pretty annoyed that I couldn't do anything about it.
No matter how close I got or any angle I could only hit the dires hitboxes, so I stood there going "Well... ****"
It's one of those 1 in a 1000 chances that I've never got lucky enough to pull off myself.

Tried to play a Locust for the first time. Got Terra Therma. A shadowhawk or a Griffin was trying to kill me. And mid fight overheated. Apparently I blended right into the background and he wandered off confused. xD

playing a private match against my dad. he was in a 6uac5 direwolf. I was in a KTFX. We were in the basement and you know the walls in the basement that surround theta in conquest?, he put his back to one, so i couldn't take advantage of his rear armor. But the walls have a tiny hole where i could see his feet, i shot his feet and thats how i killed him

I was on canyon network and a Jenner IIC tried to jumpjet across C3, but was sniped mid-air. In death, it pitched forward into a face down position and fell flat on its face, rolled forward onto its back, and then lay there with its feet wiggling.
I laughed for the rest of the match...

No, leave the examples of PGI screw ups to another thread.
Mine has actually nothing to do with a match.
In order to elevate my PPC firing position, I committed the grave sin of switching my WHM-6R's arm PPC with side torso small laser. When I hit the save button, I got an error message. Something along the line of unable to save load out.
I went, "oh crap, did PGI patched in some loadout restriction when I wasn't looking?".
Turns out it was a dropped connection. Fine. Restart game and let's do it again. Switched the PPC to the torso and queued up for a quick match and was immediately dropped to main menu when match started. Server issue again.
"Crap. That's some serious voodoo going on" I thought.
Logged in again, and was able to Rejoin. But started the match armed with only 2 SLs - all the weapons I was fiddling around with earlier never got saved onto my WHM!
I quickly exited the match, fixed the loadout with PPC in the arm and Rejoined again. Dead. Got dc-killed and the first on the team too.
Needless to say, the PPCs have stayed in the arms ever since.
I know it's just freak coincidence and network bug but I had to laugh at it afterwards because I used to bag people for doing exactly what I was attempting.

We laughed it off as no one would be that stupid.
One day...in a match, he puts that up in all chat before the match started...
You instantly see 3 names on enemy team disco and one on our side...
Was pretty damn hilarious...

This was something that was probably only hilarious on my end, but...
I was on Mining Collective in my ON1-IIC (A?) w/ quad SRM6s, UAC20 and some lasers. My team was cleaning the enemies up fairly well, and I had gotten several solo kills on guys in mid. While I was still mid 3 of the remaining enemies clustered together around one of the corners near the ramp up. It was a HGN-IIC, Masakari and something else big. So, feeling pretty good after ruining several enemies days with SRMs, I decide to drop down on them and try to solo them all. I was mostly intact, all 3 of them were decently damaged, 1 or 2 well-placed alphas each. It was such an epic feeling moment, especially since I knew that I could probably clean all 3 up.
Anyway, I drop down, get a few volleys out and hit override. Only, I didn't hit override. I hit P. I spent half a second raging furiously in my mind at glitchy video drivers before I realize that I shut down. As I watch in terror, 3 assaults pummel me. I know I'm dead but I power back up, start running away...and succeed in getting behind cover. I managed to spread the damage around so that basically every component was stripped, and a single small laser could've finished me. Then, my allies came in and cleaned them up.
The part that I find hilarious is that on their end, they would've seen an orion jump down in the middle of their 3 assaults, shoot literally just a few srms then shut down, get ripped apart and run away. Maybe it's just funny to me because of how epic I was feeling right before I hit shut down, but regardless that's my story.
I've since rebound override to not be right next to power down.

Not once but twice while playing with a friend of mine in group que he accidentally team killed a light by walking backwards onto it in his Kingcrab. At first we were a little dumbstruck because there was nothing in his firing angle and both times we only realised what happened once we saw the smoking corpse of a light mech behind him.

I was in a 1v1 in my Kit Fox at the end of the match. U/AC10 without ammo, and 2 ERSL, vs a virtually fresh Marauder on the other side, in Forest Colony.
Saw the seismic blips on my radar on the other side of a cliff. Thought that I'd be smart and jump over the Marauder without jump jets.
....Landed on top of said marauder. Game glitches out, and apparently the only thing that marauder could see was my kitfox's foot inside his cockpit. For the record, I have no jumpjets, so I couldn't jump off him again. Was stuck in a perpetual falling situation. Nor could I move, because if I'm falling with no JJs, I can't change direction nor accelerate.
Unfortunately for him, his MAD had only PPCs. STANDARD PPCs. Apparently he thought that since MWO lets you boat anything, he would boat heatsinks.
-match degenerates into a 3-minute session of a marauder getting its plates gently massaged away by 2 C-ERSLs-
