the most infuriating taunts in multiplayer

Yes when the worst performing player on the team is telling others what to do is highly annoying.
Gears is just brutal. God help your the last man standing and you get downed. Expect a gangbang of smoke grenades and shotgun blasts while someone punches you in the face for what seems like 10 minutes.Gears of War DBNO violations.Ive known people that never wanted to play again after a good rubbing. Lol.
It's got some good ones.

Sure, funny in the waiting lobby, even when stacked, but goddamn if it isn't annoying midgame when it gets distracting

MAD
MAD in games is what ultimately kills multiplayer competitive games for me. You'll start to notice particular characters or weapons suddenly taking center stage, and being very hard to play against. Once you figure out their weaknesses, you notice it takes a significant amount of effort to deal with this compared to a 'regular' character/weapon, making you vulnerable anyways to other players. Thus, the OP'ness of something becomes apparent.
Players using these clearly overpowered selections, then talking trash isn't so much infuriating as it is just disheartening. Say something back, "Well I mean, you are playing anubis... he's sorta easy" and you'll get bombarded with "cry moar" et. al
So, you get pounded by the broken selections game after game. Talked trash because the opposite player thinks they are hot stuff, and nobody who understands game design sees the ridiculousness at hand. Developers just don't care because they are catering to something else and have other interests than a fair game.
Thus, MAD. Mutually assured destruction, if you can't beat em, join em. Now everyone picks the OP weapons, a meta is born, and there's no more creativity and fun in the game.
It's the only thing I really disliked about multiplayer games. In example, it's why Battlefield is full of snipers ALL THE TIME. "These people keep sniping me and ripping on me for getting insta-killed by them, so I'll just become one and insta-kill them back and see how they feel!" thus 50/64 players are recon.
Bad game design everywhere, and it just sucks. It's not the players taunting, it's the bad game design and balancing that leads them to be stupid and taunt.

The GOAT gesture"Well, what is it?" Gesture in Dark Souls. Slightly raises my blood pressure no matter how many times I see it.

Conga's become so normalized that I don't even care anymore. When it came out, it was like a plague because it would spread and just ruin servers. (Accurate simulation.) Now it's just like "yeah of course".

Leaving the replay going after a goal in FIFA.

The alternative is PES where you can score an amazing flying scorpion kick goal but your opponent can skip the replay.

Ya - clapping in The Division is the worst. A team of 4 rogues will kill a solo player in the dz and then clap over the solo player's dead body. It's like watching an SEC team celebrating sacks and touchdowns during a 77-0 win over Troy State.

Erm, what?
Smash has so many amazing taunts. On PC so can't post images but:
DK - Shrugs at the screen
Ganondorf - all are great, big fan of taking out his sword which he doesn't bother using when fighting
Ness - Okaaay
Falcon - Show me your moves
Peach - La lala la laa la
Dedede - Not an official taunt, but his crouch animation
Rosalina - slowly spinning around for no reason
Zelda - waving goodbye
Pikachu - Pika pikaaa
Duck Hunt Dog - the laugh

Especially in Overwatch a player taunting/teabagging/saying "Thanks" when they had a pocket healer and/or at least one other ally with them vs. just me? That bugs me more than anything. It's the audacity of bragging that it took 2-4 of them to "own" me. It almost never happens after a well-fought one-on-one.
Edit:
Missed this, but yeah, this is what I'm talking about. Same thing when someone eliminates me playing a hero that's a hard counter to the one I'm playing. They won when they had every conceivable advantage.

Taunting on a revenge kill is the best thing ever, gets a reaction every time.

I'll give it to you, that was a pretty good taunt.
Gears of War DBNO violations.
Lmao I love doing this.
I would also give a shoutout to clapping over someone's dead body in The Division.

Uncharted 4, bar none. Especially when you get Marlowe doing them.
Surface of Me
I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
I use gg 2 ez just cause I know it pisses people off. Really cant believe Blizzard outright blocked it. Some people need to get a grip on their anger if it truly was effecting them that much.

Could there ever be anything worse than the original T-bagging?
