The most common is a bearhug. I had a guy in Vegas once I asked if he would want to lift me. He said he had never done that before. The first try was a little rough. I though it wouldn't happen. Then he asked if he could try again. This time he held me up for a little while and actually did a few squats. That was amazing. Before he left he asked to do it again. I think he really loved it. I did have a friend who was a powerlifter. He could lift me a few different ways. Just amazing power.
Placed my head between his legs asked him to bow forward on my body and lifted him up. Once up it's more of a shoulder ride with his thighs on my shoulders. It was quite hot to see such a large man off the ground!
That’s very impressive. Not into shoulder lifts myself, worried about losing balance lol. Did the liftee balance himself off a wall or something like that?
At the time, without question. Although I didn't practice the lift and carry enough to really get a good idea on how the weight resistance increases.
As anybody that's ever lifted a weight would know, the resistance is not a linear one. It can go from doing multiple reps at a specified weight, to not moving the weight at all just by adding another 10 pounds.

Cradle carry
6'2/260 lbs
Uneventful – it was nothing fancy, just the standard lift and hold.
He said it couldn't be done, so I needed to prove otherwise.
