1. The Great Mighty Poo - Conker's Bad Fur Day
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w5neFPat1w If you thought it couldn't get any more ridiculous, play the N64 cult classic Conker's Bad Fur Day and then get back to me. Though the lewd content prior to this boss sort of gave us an inkling that something crude like this might abound, I don't think anyone expected foul-mouthed alcoholic squirrel Conker to have to face off against a giant pile of poo. The battle begins once you make it inside Poo Mountain (really), and a voice asks you for some sweet-corn. After obliging it, The Great Mighty Poo himself (possibly the most accurate descriptor of a boss ever) emerges, singing a song which has lyrics including "I am the Great Mighty Poo, and I'm going to throw my s**t at you!". You then fight him using toilet paper before eventually flushing him away, putting an end to one of the most brilliantly puerile video game bosses ever. What's your favourite absurd boss battle? Let us know in the comments below.
