I'd also like to give an honorable mention to this one:
[18:28] Rach Borkotron: smth cifkjDFSHL;dsj'

It's also "Smooth Criminal," like Josh's at #10, but it was such a disaster that I had to ask Rach if it were deliberate. Obviously, it would defeat the purpose of the typo feature to use intentional "typos." She assured me that it was genuine up until the caps lock kicked in, but thereafter it was indeed a joke. Either way, it had me snickering.
