    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.

      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.
