Alright so the way this game goes is pretty straight forward, someone posts an alg with the notations all scrambled up, and everyone has to try to guess what alg it is. (F2L algo, OLL algo, Pll algo, etc.)

anyway ill start with an easy one!

U2R'URURR'
 
It's a sune, Derrick, but this isn't really a fair game. You make the assumption that everyone uses the same method, when in fact we don't.

For example - the first two layers I solve simultaneously are on opposite sides of the cube, and the algs I use to orient and permute my last layer (the middle layer) are much different than the algs you use to orient and permute the top layer.
 
F R U R' U' R U R' U' R U R' U' F'

one of the first OLLs i learnt, but i've switched this case to a Double-sune, faster execution :)

my turn now -> R' F U R U2 F' U' U2 R' R' U' R R2 R'

Hint: a nice PLL (for me, and many others probably)
 
Here's one:
F2 F2 F2 F2 R2 R2 U U U U' U' U'

Hint: It's a commutator that does a corner 3-cycle
Hint #2: Daniel Beyer is not allowed to unscramble this alg ;)

I'll accept two answers for this one, which should be obvious based on the first hint.

--edit--
Looking at it again it's actually possible to use these same turns to construct a different commutator than the one I intended, so I will accept 4 answers for this one.

EDIT: I should point out, for the sake of my ego, that I found this algorithm out for myself (when I first learnt it) :) .
 
([R,u]3 [r,U]3 y2)2 -- superflip
Edit: For those who don't like concise notation: R u R' u' R u R' u' R u R' u' r U r' U' r U r' U' r U r' U' y2 R u R' u' R u R' u' R u R' u' r U r' U' r U r' U' r U r' U' y2

U2 D D' F2 R2 R' R' L L'

Hint: Slightly modified commutator, useful for ZBLL.
