“You’re on a path in the woods.”
Anything Glados from Portal 1/2–still one of very, very few games to actually make me laugh. But also the Cave Johnson “when life gives you lemons” rant comes to mind, because it’s both funny and poignant.
Everything in Portal 2 is gold, but if you shout out both GladOs AND Cave, I feel like Wheatley deserves a mention as well.
“Most test subjects do experience some cognitive deterioration after a few months in suspension. Now you’ve been under for… quite a lot longer, and it’s not out of the question that you might have a very minor case of serious brain damage. But don’t be alarmed, alright? Although, if you do feel alarm, try to hold onto that feeling because that is the proper reaction to being told you have brain damage.”
Yes, I honestly can’t believe I didn’t mention him. It’s really a testament to what a fucking gem that game is. God. So much greatness packed into such a short time.
Favorite Glados ones:
- “We both said a lot of things that you’re going to regret.”
- “That thing you burned up isn’t important to me; it’s the fluid catalytic cracking unit. It makes shoes for orphans… Nice job breaking it, hero.”
And Cave Johnson:
- “When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! Demand to see life’s manager!”
- “Science isn’t about why. It’s about why not.”
Had to look it up to refresh my memory:
-
“Nice job breaking it, hero.”
-
“You are not a good person. You know that, right? Good people don’t get up here.”
-
“Here come the test results: You are a horrible person. We weren’t even testing for that.”
-
“Congratulations on beating the odds and somehow managing to pack on a few pounds.”
You really need the full 2-minute audio of the lemons bit to get the gist. J.K. Simmons did an amazing job balancing funny and, “oh shit, am I…sad???..during the silly, funny puzzle game!?”

You might also enjoy The Stanley Parable, it’s a very similar kind of humor, I recommend going in blind, as the game is a lot about exploring watching a funny dialogue in a video removes the fun out of it being a reaction to something you did.
I’m here to kick ass and chew bubblegum. I know it’s from a carpenter film, but I heard it first in Duke Nukem.
… and I just ran out of bubble gum. :-)
Duke 3D is really quotable.
“Hmm, don’t have time to play with myself.”
Always a classic.
Lots of good bioshock quotes, but the standout:
We all make choices, but in the end our choices make us
Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong.
One of the best parts of the series
Came in here to post this.
The truth, Walker, is that you’re here because you wanted to feel like something you’re not: a hero.
I just got goosebumps… What an effective game.
“Here come the test results: ‘You are a horrible person’. That’s what it says, ‘a horrible person’. We weren’t even testing for that!”
“Oh, It’s you.”
Never thought a robot could throw so much shade with just three words.
Portal was my first thought too!
You must construct additional pylons.
Words to live by.
Followed by your own words of “oh shit, oh shit” when there’s also an incoming Zerg rush at the same time
These birds are Pissing me
off…I’m the original Starwalker
This guy are sick
Truth is, the game was rigged from the start. -Benny
Alternatively:
Hope this interaction does not lead to any fallout between us. Fallout: New Vegas. -Benny
I highly recommend everyone watch Angry Video Game Nerd’s video about this game if you have the inclination and 15 minutes to spare. This video sent my sides into orbit.
And didn’t forget the original Gamespot review.
No other game has ever been so trashed in so few words.
Go for the eyes Boo, go for the eyes!
“Well, This is the part where he kills us.”
“Hello. This is the part where I kill you.”
CHAPTER 9: THE PART WHERE HE KILLS YOU
Achievement Unlocked: The part where he kills you
<The part where he kills you music plays in backround>
i need to play portal 2 again
Good god what an incredible sequence that was to play through for the first time. I was so busy laughing that it was, in fact, the part where he killed me.
