Would like to tack on the following

The regent of the Sabbat is a drag queen performing an unending routine as a different vampire to avoid the world's weirdest murder trail.

Bela Lugosi not only convinced himself he wasn't Lugosi but also convinced himself he was actually Dracula.

Pentex created cockroach lycanthropes but they caught the attention of the totem Cockroach who then officially declared his werewolves should be bros with the wereroaches.

They also made monkey lycanthropes who for some reason were put in charge of business matters. They spent an ungodly amount of time and money on literal monkey business.

There's a nosferatu moonlighting as "El Diablo Verde," a professional wrestler who pulls off insane superhuman feats in the ring and this isn't a masquerade violation because "everyone knows wrestling is fake."

Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were patrons of the Technocratic Union because she's the steampunk queen.

Sejanus, a roman soldier and close friend of Emperor Tiberius, was a vampire and pretended to be a ventrue for so long and so convincingly he became prince of Washington D.C. A roman soldier older than Christ by 46 years became the regional ruler of D.C. because he is really good at lying.

Speaking of D.C., according to the erotica novel some vampires fuck on the top of the Washington Monument.

Dracula sold the rights to his life story to Bram Stoker so he would break the masquerade for the lolz

The Sabbat LARP D&D in the sewers with dominated humans who are convinced they are actually fantasy monsters

A malkavian once learned to survive off eating words rather than blood and even ate his own entry in the Clanbook.

Changlings in Boston host a riddle contest every 4th of July.

They also have a vampire who thinks he's a fairy.

There are mage apes.

Also mage aliens.

A bishop was such a fan of The Shining he often flashcrafted himself to look like Jack Nicholson and LARP scenes to himself.

The Possessed sourcebook has a cow that cannot be killed by any means.

There's also a goat that can eat anything and has appeared throughout time.

There was a futuristic city of sentient dinosaurs that the Mokele have genetic memories of. You can run a canon friendly Cyberpunk x WoD game so long as every character is a dinosaur.

Isaac Newton was killed in a drive by shooting during Prohibition.

Cain is an LA cab driver, Lucifer is a washed up director, Charon was isekaied into modern day as a nobody, due to the apocalypse being retconned these guys are all still living boring lives somewhere in California.

Every single supernatural wants to say they have Rasputin.

A lady embraced 15 snakes. There are 15 vampire snakes in the world, 15!

This is from Chronicles but its worth a mention, the Whipping Boys legacy is a group of wizards who channel their magic through BDSM.

I love this setting so much and its wackiness is a huge reason why.

Sometimes I rly feel like the wod Fandom needs to remember that while the wod is dark, it's also goofy as fuck and it's ok to laugh at it and point out how ridiculous something is.

Wizards killed an old vampire with space lasers. There is an evil company which puts demons into burgers. During the war in Atlanta someone replaced the round business table where the lasombras were arguing with a reflective square table which increased the body count during the meeting.

It's ok to laugh. We don't need to be defensive of our fav game.
