Default Weirdest Edges and Hindrances?

So reading through wider Savage Worlds books, third parties etc., such as Savage Rifts and the Suzerain Legends core book. Mainly research but also to try and get the creative juices flowing!

I noticed a lot of the Edges and Hindrances like Living Banner (Suzerain), Stutter (Suzerain), and World Scry (Rifts) though very cool and useful for gameplay they’re all very serious.

Question - What’s the weirdest/funniest Edge and/or Hindrance you’ve come across in ANY TTRPG? Or what the weirdest/funniest one you can make-up whilst keeping it playable?

Playing Champions 3rd edition in college, one player created Non Sequiter. She originated when famed stage magician David Copperfield was performing an illusion in which he would appear to bring a pencil drawing on a large sheet of paper to life. In this particular show, the planes aligned for a moment and the drawing actually did turn into a woman.

She had Psychological Limitation - Phobia of erasers. She was also Hunted (11 or less) by David Copperfield; she thought he wanted to erase her, but really he just wanted to figure out how he did that and whether it might ever happen again.

Hero System 4th Fantasy Hero...
Elven Bard, Pre and App 25...
Hunted: local Badass, 14-, extensive non-combat influence, equal power to PC.
No matter where he goes, some local studmuffin takes exception to his very existence.

Another PC in that group...
5d6 Unluck, area effect, hole in the middle. The rest of the group wasn't terribly thrilled, but when I asked for a vote on approve or not, it passed. So, yeah, his unluck affected them, not himself. character died from a spell backlash medway through second session...
