Preferably ones that are intentionally funny, not just poorly translated.

I have two. The first is from Doom 3, there's a terminal with a red screen. If you access it, you'll see this email.

When opening sacrificial portals, it is important to remember:

- Virgin blood is best
- Goat blood must be no older than 3 days
- Entrails must be removed and apportioned either before death, or no later than 30min
- Candles must be sorted by tallest in back to shortest in front - never the other way around!

Most important - pentagrams must be drawn from the center to the outside and left to right.


The second is from Shivering Isles. I could basically list the whole game, but this particular one is my favorite. Sheogorath says this when asked about Jyggalag:

Pretty much in Bionic Commando when Super Joe says "There's no way out, you just have to fuck it"

According to the April Fools issue of Nintendo Power back in the day, Cranky may be the original Donkey Kong from 1980. The current DK declined to comment.

According to the instruction manual of Donkey Kong Country, he is.

That may have been retconned since then, though.

Oh my god!

- What is it?
- It's blood.

That made me laugh so hard back then. There isn't even a hint of sarcasm in Barry's reply, as he's fiddling arround in a pool of blood and gives Jill his analysis.

QFT

"They can't keep this level of graphics up for much longer! We used to be lucky if we only got three shades of grey, let alone any real colors!"

"Look!...look at this!...as I rock, my beard swings! Waste of frames in my opinion!"

"I'm talking about when games were games."

"32 Megs? Back in my day, that would have made 30 games. And they'd have been good games, too!"

I love Cranky and his Fourth Wall breaking rants about modern gaming.

Wheatley says it in Portal 2. Mass Effect quotes:

Garrus: Over the years I've grown used to the smell of burning bodies.
Grunt: Anyone else hungry? No?
Garrus: You might want to keep comments like that to yourself, Grunt. Krogans are unpopular enough already.

Garrus: You know me, I always like to savor the last shot before popping the heat sink. [long, awkward pause] Wait... that metaphor just went somewhere horrible.


So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind.

Most unintentionally funny dialogue to me.

As far as funniest real dialogue, I think the critical headshot readout text from fallout 1 and 2 was the best, something about "good night gracie".

I entered this thread wanting to say anything Stan from the Monkey Island-games says, but really, this is a much better answer. Cranky Kong is the man, I mean Ape!

I found that Dr. Wily (or Wahwee) thing on Audio Atrocities just a few days ago. I love how he misspeaks and has to correct himself at least twice.

And speaking of Sheogorath, have you seen him in Skyrim yet?

The Dr. Wahwee guy sounds like one of those really old Brooklyn guys with a bunch of his teeth missing.

I know anyone who played Legacy of Time hated Arthur, but he had some good line (had to look some of these up):

"The good news is, I know why you don't know me. The bad news is, you were mindwiped."

"If we're going ballooning, I don't want to hang from this thing like some deranged Bond villain. So we could either attach the basket you found, or we could keep looking around and hope we find another basket with a CD player and leather interior."

[upon seeing Shangri-La buried under an avalanche]:
"Looks like the Grinch changed his mind about Whoville"

"Normally I don't make aesthetic criticisms in other peoples' homes, but that rug looks like a beaver exploded."


So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind.

Funny how thirteen years can change a person.
