I played **Simpsons’ Road Rage** recently and I love all of the character quotes, but one of Homer’s is my favorite:

“Get out of the way, jerk-ass!”

Jedi Knight 1 (teetering on the edge of a deep, deep abyss and realizing you have to jump over): “You’ve got to be kidding me…”

Later on in Jedi Knight 1: “Oh no, not something else for me to fall from…”

The Assassin from Diablo 2: “When I kill things, they STAY dead.”

More from Planescape:  
Storyteller: I am Yves, the Tale-chaser.  
Morte: What a concidence! I also chase tails.

Morte:(reading the tatoos on your back) Heh. Looks like you come with directions.  
You: No wonder my back hurts. There’s a damn novel written on it.

Morte: We’re in the Mortuary, a big black building with all the architectural charm of a pregnant spider.

Basically, anything Morte says is a riot. Especially when he starts talking to your other companions.

from **Sam & Max Hit The Road**

Sam: My little buddy has to use the facilities.  
Max: Facilities be damned, I need a bathroom!

Sam (on the phone): Yes… yes… yes… NO! Really? Well, the same to you, mac. (hangs up)  
Max: Another confused census taker?  
Sam: No, actually it was the commissioner with another idiotic and baffling assignment.  
Max: Does it involve wanton destruction?  
Sam: We can only hope.

Sam and Max Hit the Road is the funniest computer game ever. I wish it still ran on my computer (MS-DOS compatibility be damned).

One of my favorites was from the trailer for the game on the Rebel Assault CD:

“What has four legs, long floppy ears, and a callous disregard for private property?”

Sorry ☹ I know it’s a little Lucasarts heavy, well it is all Lucasarts, but there are so many more great ones. I’ll get back to you after I do some more research…

From **Clive Barker’s Undying** :

Patrick Galloway carries the head of Lizbeth, who he has just bested, in his hands. It continues to rant and gnash at him about “the coming of the King” until he reaches a cliff, sets her head on fire, and tosses it over as it screams at him.

Galloway watches it fall and says calmly, “ **Ye were sayin’?** ”

Also from \*_Undying_:

An ancient church is being shaken to its foundation by some strange cataclysm. Monks are falling left and right, and the Abbot walks to the center of the cathedral, raises his arms and intones “ **O Lord, protect me from harm.** ”

A moment later, a huge slab of stone falls from the ceiling and flattens him.

It’s better for what happens after the line that the line itself, but still a point of unexpected humor in the game.

One more from **Undying** (_ **spolier** _):

Jeremiah Covenant rants at Galloway about the world that he is going to bring about with his new power, until Galloway interrupts him by extending his magical scythe and saying “ **Jeremiah… ye talk too much.** ”

He follows this by chopping Jeremiah’s head off. Much beheading in that game. _grin_

Grim Fandango had some great ones.

Manny: Run, you pigeons! It’s Robert Frost!

Glottis: Manny, Until now we scraped across the ground like rats, but from now on, we soar! Yeah! Like EAGLES…ON…POGO STICKS!

Manny(about his casino patrons): Thrill seeking rich folk with a poor grasp of statistics and probability.

Manny:(Paraphrased) I don’t understand how you can blow up ballons without lungs.  
Clown: Well, you don’t have a tounge, but that doesn’t seem to shut you up, now does it?

Agreed on both counts.

The wording may be off a little-

“Hey! If Tomator really wants to kill us, howcome he keeps leaving all these supplies and weapons for us?”

“Quiet, Olaf! Other characters in video games never ask these questions.”

“Yeah! Are you trying to get us in trouble?”  
And-

“I have this feeling of deja vu. I think we’ve been here before.”

“We have. This is the player’s 8th try on this level.”

And-

“I hope we get killed again.”

“Why?”

“I’ve got a crush on that valkyrie.”  
(The Continue/End screen features a a valkyrie)
