What’s the funniest Mets moment to you? Mine is Bobby V in disguise

This is certainly one of the most bizarre. Some of the hot foot pranks are really funny, too.
Mine was the “1999 Wildcard and Division Series Winner” banner. I find it so funny that we had to celebrate getting a 4th seed and winning the first round of the playoffs. Also, I want to see that banner over my bed when I sleep.
deGrom dropping Murphy’s chair during the 2015 NLDS Game one postgame is classic.
The hot foots in the dugout in 86 and Ventura doing his Piazza imitation during a rain delay
Ricky Henderson reading Bazooka Joe in the outfield
You’re lying if you say it’s anything other than the dildo. Especially when you factor in that that was also the Matt Harvey/Olivia Culpo weekend, where he went on a bender after Culpo left him for Danny Amendola, and couldn’t pitch, so Adam Wilke got lit up in a spot start. But we didn’t know that yet, and just assumed he’d been suspended for the Dildo.

Mr. Met’s Middle Finger
the stroking out bit in the booth last year is definitely up there
The Jason Bay signing
Robin Ventura Piazza impression during the rain delay
Matt Harvey letting his ego get in the way of willing a world series game.
Mine is an old school story that I read about as a kid:
On June 17, 1962, in a game between the Mets and the Cubs at the Polo Grounds, “Marvelous” Marv Throneberry (who was quite a character in those early Mets days) slammed a two-run triple. But while he was catching his breath on third base, Chicago first baseman Ernie Banks called for the ball and appealed that Marv had missed first base. The appeal was upheld, and Throneberry was called out. Mets manager Casey Stengel ran out from the dugout to vehemently argue the call. He went on and on, until finally umpire Dusty Boggess told him: “Forget it, Casey. He didn’t touch second base either!”
To which Casey’s only reply was: “Well I know he touched third, because he’s standing on it!”
