1 2 3 4 5 in a minor is the most quoted 'cool' auction people report, it happens all the time. 1 2 3 4 5 6 is rare and i have never seen outside mycrofts post.
The coolest I have managed is
1♠ 2♣
2♠ 3♥
3♠ 3NT
4♠ 5♦
5♠ 6♥
Where 1♠ was natural but 2♠ 3♠ 4♠ and 5♠ were all artificial and said nothing about spades.

2♠ = 4+ hearts
3♠ = non-serious slam try in hearts
4♠, 5♠ = keycard for hearts

My coolest-ever auction was cool in the opposite way:
(3♠) - 4♥ - (5♦) - 6♣.
I was the 4H bidder, raised my p to 7♣ because I had the ace of clubs, got doubled, and partner made it when RHO guessed wrong whether to lead a spade or a diamond.
Happened in a hand-shuffled sectional team game. We called the director over to look at the auction. He copied the hand down, saying "Im gonna show this to the people who complain computer-dealt hands are too weird."

The Viking club produces some funny ones for us. We had this sequence recently but there have been others also I don't remember now.
1♣-1♦
1♥-1♠
1NT-2♣
2♦-2♥
2♠-pass
Responder has shown a shapely invitational hand with long spades opposite opener's 19-21NT.

I managed this variant on "everyone bids a minor" at a sectional a couple month ago:
(1D) P (P) 2D
(X) 3D (5D) 6D
(P) 6H (AP)
Making 7 on the wrong lead, but cold for 6. Partner had sandbagged with 8 solid clubs, then never bid the suit.

At the club we once had this nonremarkable auction:
1♣-p-1♠-x
xx-2♥-2♠-p
p-p
The funny thing was that on the next board we had the exact same auction.
1♣-p-1♠-x
