Some of Kazooie's lines from Banjo-Kazooie and its sequel were terrific...

When meeting space aliens:
Kazooie: "Are any of you guys named Elvis?"

Later, the alien says something like: "Now, we need to ask a favor of you."
Kazooie: "Let me guess. You need to phone home?"
Alien: "No, we have cell phones for that."

I had to revive this thread, because nobody mentioned anything from the System Shock series!

SHODAN has one of the best quotes in videogames, ever:

"Look at you, Hacker. A pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?"

GLaDOS is funnier, but she can't even begin to touch SHODAN's goddess-complex:

"Are you afraid? What is it that you fear? The end of your trivial existence?"
"When the history of my glory is written, your species shall only be a footnote to my magnificence."
"You move like an insect. You think like an insect. You are an insect. There is another... who can serve my purpose. Take care not to fall too far out of my favour. Patience is not characteristic of a Goddess."

Pretty much all the dialogue in that game is brilliant. The Many have some great lines as well:

"Mistrust is the tyranny of the individual. Your own kind sees you as a threat. Why do you murder our unity? No matter, the line is drawn. You will cease to be. It is just a question of who will bring your end. Us? Or you?"

"Your time is running out. This place is a womb, where we grow our future. Your weapons fail, your ammunition runs low, and you've yet to see our most beautiful creation. All you have is your hatred, and your... individuality. Now don't you wish you joined us? Would you then feel so alone?"

I especially loved how you often got peeks of the last vestiges of normality through the corrupted monsters that populated the game - like the way the human/annelid hybrids apologized sometimes as they attacked you, or the robot butlers in the mall level would politely ask if they could help you with anything while they attacked.

Man, you guys already have a lot of great ones posted up here.

In the so-bad-it's-good department, I submit just about the entirety of Chrome. An example:

Bolt Logan (having just cleared an area in a vicious firefight): Alright, I've blown them all to hell!
Carrie (from the previous room, sounding absurdly peppy): O-kay!

PORTAL SONG

this was a triump, im making a not here: HUGE SUCCESS!
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
Aperture Science. We do what we must, because we can.
For the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead.
But theres no sense crying over mistake, you just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun for the people who are still alive.

Im not even angry, im being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart and killed me.
And tore me pieces. And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burn it hurt because i was so happy for you.
Now these points of data make a beautiful line,
And were out of beta, were releasing on time.
So i never got burned in all the things we learned for the people who are still alive.

Go ahead and leave me, i think i prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
Maybe black mesa. That was a joke. Haha. Fat chance.
Anyway this cake is great. It's so delicious and moist.
Look at me still talking when theres science to do,
when i look out there it makes me glad im not you.
Ive experiments to be run there is research to be done on the people who are still alive.

And believe i am still alive - im doing science and im still alive - i feel fantistic and im still alive - while your dieing ill still be alive - and when you dead ill stil be alive - still alive - still alive...

Notable due to the absolutely horrible voice acting that made me giggle like a woman when i first heard it.
Also a great, really poorly delivered line from RE: "What is it?"

No One Lives Forever

[from the mission "Rendezvous in Hamburg, Scene 2"]
Random thug 1: Our studies show that criminals drink three times as much alcohol as law abiding citizens.
Random thug 2: So beer turns people into criminals?
Thug 1: A correlation doesn't imply causality. Just because criminals drink a lot of beer doesn't mean that beer causes crime. It's possible that people with criminal tendencies enjoy beer because it helps to soothe their conscience. Or perhaps criminal behavior is caused in part by a genetic predisposition that also, coincidentally, makes criminals like the taste of beer more than the average person. Who knows?
Thug 2: You're very knowledgeable about these things.
Thug 1: Criminal sociology is a hobby of mine. I think it's important to understand not just the individual, psychological roots of one's behavior, but also the social circumstances that foster that behavior. Whether we like it or not, we are shaped by our environment.
Thug 2: Surely you're not suggesting that individuals aren't accountable for their actions.
Thug 1: Oh, no, of course not. Just because we are products of the societies we're born into doesn't absolve us of personal responsibility. Our religions and laws teach us what is right and what is wrong. Frequently, the right choice is the more difficult path to take. It requires sacrifice, self-discipline, patience ? virtues that many of us find somewhat lacking in our natures.
Thug 2: But what if you're born into a hedonistic culture?
Thug 1: Look across history. The reason hedonism is discouraged by most religions and governments is that it weakens a civilization. It breeds sloth, petulance, degeneracy, and selfishness. A divided nation is a fragile nation, waiting to be conquered. Unity is strength. Humans instinctively fashion order out of chaos. It is a natural, probably genetic impulse. Therefore, even an individual born into troubled times has the capacity, and even the duty, to behave in a manner that promotes unity, however difficult it may be.
Thug 2: Then what about us?
Thug 1: I can only speak for myself. I am a product of a broken household, which introduced a general lack of self confidence in me at a very early age. These feelings of inadequacy blossomed into anger as I matured that the rigors of adolescence, with the teasing and abuse and awkwardness we must all endure, only exacerbated. But even though I've identified the source of my problems, I'm still too childish and petty to become a responsible, mature citizen.
Thug 2: Well, admitting you have a problem is the first step, I suppose.
Thug 1: I like to think so.

I just thought of another one. In Halo 3 in the second mission.

Marine 1 : Hey, open up!

Marine 2 : Password Please.

Marine 1 : You gotta be kidding me! What password?

Marine 2 : The password so we dont open the door for brutes!

Marine 1 : Do I sound like a brute to you?

Marine 2 : Well you could be held prisoner by brutes.

Marine 1 : If I was held prisoner by brutes, and knew the password, then the brutes could just force me to tell you the password and you would open the door for them.

Marine 2 : ...ok...Well now im defintiely not going to open the door.

Marine 1 : But we need ammo!

Marine 2 : Well why dont you go ask your brute budies then?


This is actually only one version of the conversation, and the voices of the marines are done by two of the makers of Red vs Blue.

That's some damn good philosophical dialogue. It can certainly be applied to situations in real life. Never played the game in question, but coming from two random thugs, that conversation's priceless.

First off, any lines from HK-47 in the KOTOR games.
Then one time in fallout 2, during a karate tournament a dude targeted my groin and got a critical hit the whole while the text above his head read "Chop-sake".
