"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!"

    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."

    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!?"

    I bought FC3 without knowing what the game was because of this monologue:

    Vaas: "Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is?

    Insanity is doing the exact same fucking thing, over and over again expecting shit to change. That. Is. Crazy.

    The first time somebody told me that, I dunno, I thought they were bullshitting me, so, boom, I shot him. The thing is, he was right

    And then I started seeing, everywhere I looked, everywhere I looked all these fucking pricks. Everywhere I looked, doing the exact same fucking thing... over and over and over and over again thinking: 'This time is gonna be different.' No, no, no please... 'This time is gonna be different.'

    I'm sorry, I don't like... The way... you are looking at me,. Okay!? Do you have a fucking problem in your head, do you think I am bullshitting you, do you think I am lying? Fuck you! Okay? Fuck you!

    It's okay, man. I'm gonna chill, hermano. I'm gonna chill -

    The thing is... Alright, the thing is I killed you once already. And it's not like I am fucking crazy. It's okay... It's like water under the bridge

    Did I ever tell you the definition... of insanity?

    0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself sad. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov fucked him over personally with his socio-economic theory. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

    "The thing about happiness is that you only know you had it when it's gone. I mean, you may think to yourself that you're happy. But you don't really believe it. You focus on the petty bullshit, or the next job, or whatever. It's only looking back by comparison with what comes after that you really understand, that's what happiness felt like."

    Not exactly words of profound wisdom, but still…

    “You look like a cut of fuckable meat. Are you?”

    Adam Smasher, Cyberpunk 2077

    There’s also another great quote from Discworld, where the conversation starts with “expect the unexpected”, but eventually concludes with “expect the expected”. Lots of funny philosophical arguing back and forth.
