You all know 'em. The lines that made almost made you spill your guts laughing when you first saw them on screen. Classic Amiga games like Monkey Island were chock full of them.

Do you remember any humorous lines that you have fond memories of? Feel free to look them up on some fansite, if you have a hard time remembering any. Might as well include lines from games that were published on other, more recent platforms.



Guybrush Threepwood: I'm sorry I called you Cannonball Head.
Guybrush Threepwood: I meant to call you Chrome Dome.

- The Secret of Monkey Island



Sludge Vohaul: I intend to infest your planet with genetically-engineered, door-to-door insurance salesmen.

- Space Quest II

Guybrush Threepwood: No! No, that's not true!
LeChuck: Search your feelings, you KNOW it to be true!
Guybrush Threepwood: Noooooooooooooooooooo!

Yep. That has to be the most famous quote of them all. :)

Monkey Island had some fabulous quotes. Some of the all-time best.

"ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US" was an internet disease that spread like wild fire, but somehow strangely addictive.

Although straying from Amiga roots, who remembers the start of Duke Nukem 3D? Very famous, it was something like:

"I'm up for kicking butt or chewing gum.....and I ain't got no gum!!!"

Zero Wing, a shoot'em up from Japan.

On Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base), there's an animated GIF of the intro sequence where that line originated from :)

IIRC it was
" *cracks knuckles*.... It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum.... and I'm all outta gum"

I played the first level quite a few times because it was the most fun, so saw that scene quite a few times.

It's frickin genius. So funny how such a lot of humour sprang out from this. Sometime these 'internet memes' are pretty damned funny.
