+1 God socks guy = entertaining.
Guy with is family that came to football game last year - underage daughter yelled at me that I was going to hell from 2 feet away because I had a beer in my hand = CRAZY!!!!!
OK so when I was at ISU I thought people falling was pretty funny. Tripping, ice, it did not matter. I have always been a fan of physical comedy (intentional or not).
I was walking to class towards the end of winter nice and early in the morning. Or at least what passed for early when I was in college. A guy on a bike went past me on the side walk pretty fast with no warning with a girl on a bike right behind him. Both of them almost hit me even though I was walking on right side of the sidewalk. We are talking inches away from disaster type close. So I am now getting irritated at them as I watch them speed away, the dude turns the corner to disapear behind the library and as the girl starts the turn she hits a patch of ice and goes down... hard. As cruel as it sounds it was all I could to not to laugh out loud on the spot.

The first time my roommate saw this, he was a black guy from the middle of Chicago, he came into our dorm room dyin' laughing. He said, "look at all them pink people out there, just trying to look like me!":biglaugh:
Along these lines -
If you've ever watched the band march from hilton to the stadium, you know that we like to help entrepreneurs along the route whenever we can. For instance - people standing with the program bags along the route. The trombones in front will all start yelling and pointing "PROgrams, GET YOUR PROgrams. FOOOOUR dollars, Get your PROgrams" etc etc. The same with T-shirt stands....people with extra tickets "EXTRA TICKETS! RIGHT HERE! Guy with the yellow cap's got tickets right here, get 'em cheap, extra tickets" etc etc etc.
Well, one day the above mentioned "you're all going to hell for drinking" people with the signs were right along the parade route on the east side of Trice. Didn't take but a couple seconds, and all the trombones are yelling, and pointing to every person in the crowd.
"HELLIANS!" "We're all going to hell" "you're going to hell" "beer is bad" "Tickets to hell! right here! get 'em here!" etc etc
wow that was a fun time
I lived at Towers my freshman year and used a bike during the warmer months...Anyway, somebody removed quick release pin from my front tire. Don't know how I made it down Welch alive, but got in front of Friley and my bike fell apart...Ouch...but it had to be funny for everybody else.
He was around for a while. He got in trouble when he decided to try and sell 'God Socks Guy' T-shirts. I think he was ok when he was just running his mouth on campus, but once he tried to make money off of it, they pulled the plug on him.
I don't think the God Socks guy, by himself, was very entertaining. I was late to a class or two when someone decided to challenge him to an argument. Those moments were classic entertainment.

Funniest thing I have ever seen was a little girl trying to carry a piece of plywood on a windy day across the football/band practice field on her way to the design building. I seriously have never laughed so hard in my life. I obviously went and helped her, but we both laughed the whole way to the building.
Once there was a guy who ran into EE 201 w/ Kruempel. The guy was wearing a black trenchcoat and a Richard Nixon mask. He proceeded to run down the stairs to the front of the class naked while yelling, "Viva la resistance!" I remember Kruempel cracked a small penis joke (or laughed when a student did), and said he wished that someone had tripped the guy so he would have rug burned his manhood.
When I was in EE 201 Kruempel showed some kids homework on the screen. He drew an awesome superman-style "S" only with the word supernode. Everyone chuckles. Midway through the class, some kid is digging through the homework on the table to be returned. Finds his supernode homework, and yell supernode before running out the door. Maybe you had to be there, but it was pretty funny.
In the 80's, also known as the days of hard contact lenses - a buddy of mine imbibed a little too much and passed out with the contacts in. The next morning he couldn't open his eyes so I took him to health services. When he left the clinic, the nurses placed him on a corner for me to pick him up - and he was standing there with big white gauze patches over his eyes - right as students were going to class. They're all laughing at him and giving him a hard time, and he's standing there blind as a bat flipping them all off.
I laughed so hard I nearly crashed.

While walking across campus, there was a student in a kids spider-man costume running around.
Also, during a class in Lush Auditorium, a guy runs in wearing just socks and underwear yelling and screaming up the stairs. Chasing after him was a man in a gorilla suit.

Then there was the time - during summer classes - when I was taking great pleasure in a female student being chased by the biggest crow I've ever seen (out in the big grassy area to the east of Beardshear). I couldn't stop laughing until the damned thing came after me.
When I was in school a few years back there was a dude who was tiny (like 5-2 or so and like 100 lbs) who would carry every single book he had in his enormous book bag..... and he would slowly run to every single place he was going! He would run to every class, and he would even slowly run across the dining hall.... he couldn't move very fast cause his bag weighed almost as much as him. Sometimes you would even see him on the other end of town running down Lincoln Way back towards campus. He never, ever walked or slowed down, always kept the same pace up. He also had one of those awesome long moustaches you get when you can't properly grow facial hair and you never shave.
I am sure somebody else remembers this dude. One time he showed up at a party where we were at and everybody knew him from seeing him run all over Ames.

Back in the day there was some floor over in old RCA that used to march around with lawn chairs. We used to sit and watch their marching practice drinking beer and heckling them...they were a coed floor but dry house if I remember right.
Most colorful that I can remember was this due from Chicago who lived on my floor (Griffith -Storms) He'd get all liquored up and then hide out in the CyRide bench in front of the tower like he was waiting for the bus to come. He would wait for some poor SOB delivering pizzas to pull up and once inside, he'd run and jump in thier car waiting for them to come out. He'd just sit there in the passenger seat eating whatever delivery was next. This went on until the delivery guy would call the cops or Mike would get full.
Two weeks before finals I had to go bail him out because he wouldn't get out of this gals car until he showed her what the "Big Sausage" really was.
Good times....

That was probably the crow that crapped on me outside the Library!
When I lived on Hyland St. we made a crow blind (by sticking my roommates camo duck blind on our roof) and we would hide there and drink beer and shoot crows with pelllet guns.
