Games that let you Taunt / Emote?

I usually pick guys like Silva/Diaz/McGregor in EA UFC just so I can taunt and beat the shit out of them every time they come lunging in.
 
Devil May Cry

didnt uncharted 2 have some subway themed taunts?
Yep.
 
The Last of Us MP. I always bow when I get revived, gifted something, get saved by another player, and when I have an intense shootout with an enemy player which ends with me winning.
 
Apart from the obvious fighting game/MOBA, here's a couple of unmentioned games...

Postal 2 dedicated piss button.

And of course Blood Dragon's middle finger.
 
Destiny almost completely killed the shooter teabag by including dancing. Going back to Halo and not being able to express ourselves aside from rubbing our crotches on the ground is heartbreaking.

Every time I see this gif I just have to let it loop a few times over. It looks badass as fuck.

I've never played DMC4, but I'm just gonna assume it's hard as hell to pull off those cocky manuevers.

guest characters say stuff when you taunt.
Ex: A.R.I.D. from The Fall says "You're Irrelevant"

The Jetstream Sam DLC in Revengeance turns taunting into a gameplay mechanic. Enemies that see you taunt will get super aggressive and start hitting much harder, but they'll also take much less damage so you can cut through them like tissue paper as long as you're on top of your game. You can even do it to bosses.
 
The Last of Us: Left Behind
Ellie can taunt in the Halloween shop, and each mask has two different actions. I especially like that it uses a blended animation system, so you can walk and emote at the same time.

Had to make my own bootleg gifs because I canÂ’t find any video footage of it online. Most players seem to rush right through that part, but it's got tons of cool little easter eggs like this.
 
I absolutly love how most taunts in SF3 do actual gameplay stuff

Sean works as an anti-air
Dudley hits you
Makoto makes your next move stronger
ibuki changes side of the screen

and things like that
 
League of Legends has at least 2 taunts per character (some have 10 even), with different animations and lines of dialogue (some of which change depending on the champions in front of you.) It also has incredibly well animated dances for each champion.

But it's all pointless since the enemy team will probably report you for it and you'll get restrictions. Yes, that's how incredibly stupid this game's community/community management is.

When you eat a certain type of mushroom, pressing the attack button forces him to either laugh or cry. It also acts as a "password" for special doors.
The best part was making him cry and walk at the same time, because he flails his arms around windmill style while whimpering.
