We all love poking fun at each Civilization by making tongue in cheek UU's so lets dedicate a thread to it here are a few of mine

France
French Gunman
Surrenders immediately to any attacker and becomes a worker for the attacker

America
Gay Bomberhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_bomb (NOT being homophobic follow the link)
Drops a bomb that forms a rainbow over the enemy units... and nothing happens.
 
How about the experimental "Anti-tank Cavalry" for Poland?

Base strength of 3, with 150% retreat odds.:D

British Infantryman. Base strength varies between 5-25, depending on whether the army bothered to issue him body armour, or whether his SA80 breaks down or not.

American Infantryman. Base strength 25, but cannot identify the nationality of other units. All other units appear as barbarians, except the British ones, who appear as bright red glowing barbarians with bullseyes on their backs.
 
Football Hooligan -- English, replaces warrior. For every Football Hooligan present in a non-English city beyond the number of garrisoned military units in that city, the city gets one unhappy.
 
Leonidas -- Greek, replaces great general. Can be heard all across the map.
Spoiler :

American - Civilian of the greatest, most powerful, and richest country of all time. Therefore the citizens work harder and are smarter in American cities.

"Not necessarily the UU's.." but some new GP's...

The "Not So" Great Artist: Gives civilization $39.95 Gold per week from starving artist sales.

The Mad Scientist: Allows civ to build One Unique unit from parts of all units available to them at their current tech level. The Special Unit destroys anything it comes in contact with, and is best deployed near your enemies border. The Special Unit can only be soothed by the female spy and certain female leaders.
