Well, it wasn't sleep deprivation so much as lack of sleep

HERP DERP

I blame my sleep deprivation! But what I was going for was getting too little sleep instead of staying awake for too long without sleep which is what I thought the OP meant.

The longest I've ever stayed awake for is 36 hours, so no hallucinations there. As for waking up in the middle of the night after only a few hours' sleep to go do something... it gets interesting. The weirdest one was when the wall next to my bed started telling me everything I needed to pack for my road trip. Only one that's involved sounds, though. Most are just visual quirks like moving patterns and spontaneous polka dotted vision.

Well, I had a weird one last night. . . I was laying on my bed, and I have a computer desk next to my bed. Well, I would see my computer growing and shrinking out of the corner of my eye. . . . .I actually like hallucinations, I think some of them are freaking hilarious. . .

A few nights ago I lay in bed, trying to sleep, and I could hear distant banging, like someone was building a house at 5am...

Infinite Dorf jokes can be drawn from this. I just can't be bothered to find them now.

funniest/scariest/weirdest hallucination

I once tasted my neck with my hand. What did it taste like? It tasted exactly like neck. Apparently neck has a very distinctive flavor.

One night, when I was about seven, I had about every hallucination possible. It was like a bad trip only I didn't take any drugs. I was in my bed and I was just surrounded by... things. Moving things, I can't remember them all. The only ones I remember distinctly was the moving robot arm on the ceiling, the power ranger staring at me from under the bed, and the tiny velociraptor that ran up to my face and disappeared.

Scales, scales on my arms. But technically that was from a seizure I had that was (according to the neurologist) caused by lack of sleep, not enough food/water, a lot of stress from a whole bunch of shit that was going on, and probably a one time thing.

I also saw dice dancing over my fingers when I moved them, warhammer 40k models randomly everywhere, and when my father got out his wallet and counted his money, the money appeared to be monopoly money. It was an interesting experience, although I have no idea why the hallucinations were so heavily tabletop game themed. I hadn't really thought about it all day.

One time I played too much tetris and then didn't get much sleep and couldn't stop seeing tetris blocks.

No, not like those cool youtube videos where things start acting like tetris blocks, but the actual in-game sprites. I would attempt to line them up in my head (very difficult). This continued for a whole day.

i continue to hear the music made by the wind in the mojave wasteland in fallout 3 new vegas everytime it's silent around my house. It's like i have a tape recorder in my head who starts playing.

“Well,” he said. “We’re in the Forgotten hunting grounds I take it. Your screams just woke them up early. Congratulations, Lyara.”
“Do something!” she whispered, trying to keep her sight on all of them at once.
Basileus clapped his hands once. The Forgotten took a step forward, attracted by the sound.

I'm not sure if it was from sleep deprivation or something else but for a while everything seemed to have the grainy filter over it, like a really old TV with shoddy picture quality.

I've had this and it's a known effect with it's own Wikipedia article. If you play enough a lack of sleep isn't required.
