Um. In averagemons everything has 100/100/100/100/100/100 base stats, meaning things like that are actually somewhat viable.
Random Shit volume 6:
-Dragon Claw, Body Slam, Weakness Policy Latios.
-Switching Kyurem-B into an obvious Play Rough.
-Mega Mawile with an unidentified Hidden Power type (it was SE on Heracross, that's all I could tell).
-A Ferrothorn attempting to use Leech Seed on Espeon, even though its trainer knew it had Magic Bounce.
-Said Espeon holding a Red Card.
-A Trevenant using Will-o-Wisp on a sleeping Crocune.
-Seaking.
-Hone Claws Crawdaunt.
-Ferroseed.
-Diggersby using Earthquake... on a Noivern.
-Iron Tail Jolteon, Persian, itemless Ninetales, and Abomasnow (the latter two both had their weather abilities) on the same team. And he won.
-Whimsicott using Memento on turn 2.
-Chansey using Counter against a Banette.
-Sashed Reuniclus. That's one way to get Trick Room up.

Unnerve Chople Berry Tyranitar, Occa Berry Metagross, Charti Berry Volcarona: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-79132726
That's not entirely stupid, though it was better with Custap berry in gen 5. Forretress naturally lures fire types and Magnezone, which are weak to Earthquake. I've managed to kill multiple things with it quite often, just due to the fact that no one expects it to have Earthquake + max atk. Not to mention, many people will switch in Lucario or some shit and think they can set up on it.
Here's a few examples of it doing work:
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ounostealthrock-52438942 <-- Setting up on Forry? Nope...
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ounostealthrock-51792827 <-- Ironically removing both magnets from play
On a side note, sifting through those old replays reminds me of this guy:
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ounostealthrock-51642196
Doesn't explain Stone Edge.
What I want to know is how that other guy's Greninja was slower than that Lilligant. No quiver dance, Sun was not up and it obviously wasn't scarfed.
OHKOs Talonflame?
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-79185062
Joke team for the win.
Edit: Making this Random Shit volume6.5 7, because .5's are silly.
-Overheat Talonflame. I guess it works...
-Fly/Protect Skarmory. Who do you think you are, Giratina?
-Mixed attacking Carbink.
-Iron Defense/Iron Head Ferrothorn.
-A team with all three fully evolved Kalos starters.
-Sucker Punch/Poison Jab Sableye.
-Mixed attacking Kingdra with Quick Claw.
-Substitute Forretress. It doesn't work if Sturdy trips, though.
-A Smeargle successfully pulling off two +2 QuiverPasses (the latter partially due to Cinccino's Tail Slap missing). The recipients: Talonflame and Gliscor.
-Said Gliscor not realizing that Mega Pinsir is Flying type and using Earthquake on it. Twice.

EDIT: Just spectated a battle where a Latias spammed defog against a Bisharp. What. The. Fuck.

Latios staying in on Noivern
T-Bolt unsashed Galvantula
Magmar
Leaving Noivern in on Mega Gardevoir after a Draco Meteor
Bringing Mega Heracross in on the same Mega Gardevoir
Aggron with Quick Claw
...
And he won.

If you're gonna use coil eelectross, at least use zap cannon...
Random Shit volume 8:
-Effect Spore Breloom.
-Steel Wing Salamence.
-Yet another all Eeveelution team (this one did not win, but at least Flareon did something).
-This: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-79367338
-Red's team: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-79366045
-A Red Card held up against a U-Turning Genesect.
-Scizor with X-Scissor and without Bullet Punch.
-You thought Red's team was silly? http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-79366117
-Sashed Breloom.
-Confuse Ray Drapion and Milotic.
-Need a way to revenge kill Goodra? How about Druddigon?
-Sableye without Taunt. Why?
-Milotic with Ice Beam (which is legit), Aqua Tail (not so much), and... Attract.
-Azumarill with Perish Song and Whirlpool. It did also have Aqua Jet, but apparently not Huge Power, as it did about 23% to an Infernape.
-Multiple Red Card Forretresses (what is it with those, anyway?)
-Effect Spore Breloom.
-Steel Wing Salamence.
-Yet another all Eeveelution team (this one did not win, but at least Flareon did something).

This one makes a little sense. A little. You can do much better than Steel Wing.
If this guy's strategy was to deal 21.2% damage to the opponent's lead and steal its berry, then he succeded.
There was stupid on both sides. Skull bash Squirtle? Foul Play Gengar? That last one really confuses me. What the hell are you trying to hit?
Isn't Focus Sash the standard item on Breloom?
Because Substitute is a thing?
One of those strategies that are only good if you're facing a complete moron.

I thought it was Toxic Orb or Life Orb depending on the set.
Taunt goes through Substitute.

I was going to save this replay at turn 34.... then came back and saw turn 37....and 38...

He should've sacked his sleeping Ninetails to get Sun in effect and revenge. Also, Swift Swim Ludicolo outspeeds Scarfed Adamant Victini. So either he's Banded Jolly, Banded Adamant, or Scarfed Adamant. He's definitely not Assault Vest (my personal favourite), or Surf would've left him at 20% or so.
I've seen the WhirlpoolSong Azumarill showcased on one of DunDealShowdown's video. It works surprisingly well, using Azumarill's bulk. However, the set is suboptimal.
It was stupid on both sides though. Why did the +6 Atk Aegislash didn't just Shadow Sneak it?
The funniest thing? A player with Jasmine avatar... faced a monotype Steel.
