10. Professor Nakayama - Borderlands 2
The Borderlands series is well-known for its grotesque humor and over-the-top bosses. The games are not above taking an absolute piss out of their own characters, and Professor Nakayama is certainly one of those poor unfortunate souls who were put on blast.
Professor Nakayama serves as the primary antagonist of Borderlands 2's DLC, Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt. He is a mad scientist who uses his knowledge of bioengineering to mutate Pandora's fauna and use it for his own evil purposes. Throughout the course of the DLC, the players face off against several of his mutant creatures, and by the end, they get to face Professor Nakayama himself.
The thing is, the scrawny old kook proves to be too incompetent to even start a proper boss fight. When the players come to kill him, he tries to make a big speech about how he can still defeat them, but before he can finish, he trips over and falls down the stairs, breaking his neck.
The best part about this sequence is that each time Nakayama's head hits the stairs, his health bar depletes accordingly, indicating that the man's own clumsiness really did do all the work for you.
