My first thought was of a whole bunch of "Mine!"s.

Also, keep an eye on people who think everyone else's ideas are bad, and try to remind them to let others have their time in the spotlight, even if it's less efficient (as long as it's not unbearably dumb, as our good author reminds us). Doubly so if you catch yourself being the one who does that.
The rest of my party's ideas are bad.
But so are mine.
Sometimes I don't know why we bother planning at all.

Sometimes I don't know why we bother planning at all.
For some silly reason I want to replace that "I want it" with "My Precious!"
My treasure! They want it! But is all mine, not of them! Smeagol knows it, master is evil for trying to get it
So, on the topic of Crazy Solutions to plans... Well, some people I know have learned enough history to the point that they:
1. Don't actually PLAN for a specific solution to any puzzles, they just put a Situation in front of the players and go "What do you do?"
2. They do NOT dismiss any plans out of hand for being 'Too Silly'
And one of the cited reasons is the historical Siege of Detroit in the War of 1812. For those unfamiliar, here's the basics:
A British force led by Major General Isaac Brock was allied with a Native American coalition under the Shawnee leader, Tecumseh. Between the two of them, they didn't have NEARLY enough troops to take the fort of Detroit.
However, Tecumseh said "Watch this". He then found a break in the trees that were visible from the fort, and took his troops. He then had his troops march conspicuously from one side of the break to the other, and then loop back around to rejoin the march. He had them do this for hours.
Meanwhile, within the fort, the forces led by Brigadier General William Hull saw what looked like a line of Native warriors marching for hours, and surrendered because they felt they didn't have enough troops to match such a massive force.
Which sounds like a plan put in a "Media Screencaps as a Tabletop Game" as a joke where the punchline is "Literally nobody is dumb enough to fall for that"

Cadence: Weren't those your friends from school?
Twilight: More like associates. Now, I've got a whole sheet full of battle magic memorized and noplace to use it. Shall we go to the wedding?
Cadence: Just as long as you don't fry Shining Armor.
Twilight: Meh, he's always known enough to duck.
