"How appropriate you fight like a cow!"

It's not really a one-liner, given that it's a response. It is pretty much the funniest line to ever come from a game, but...yeah.

That was clearly ripped from John Carpenter's They Live.

The best Duke quote is: I'll rip your head off and shit down your neck!

"Nobody steals our chicks, and lives!"
 
Just about anything that Fawful from Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga said was classic.

"I HAVE FURY!"

"I am the great Cackletta's most best pupil, who is named Fawful! I am here, laughing at you! If you are giving us the chase, just to get your silly princess's voice, then you are idiots of foolishness! Princess Peach's sweet voice will soon be the bread that makes the sandwich of Cackletta's desires! And this battle shall be the delicious mustard on that bread! The mustard of your doom!"

"Your lives that I spit on are now but a caricature of a cartoon drawn by a kid who is stupid!"

"Bah! Now is when the talking stops! I do not have time to stop and smell foul roses such as you!"

"Finally! Now is the time where my true might shines, like many angry sunbeams of rage!"

"St-standing here in the spotlight at such a great gala of spectacularity... My nerves are nervous!"

"I need no long speech before this battle, which will be mighty! Snack on my wrath, fink-rats!"

"The Super Mario Bros. that I hate are here!"

"I drizzled rage dressing on the country next door. Rage dressing on a salad of evil!"

I was thinking of that one, but I couldn't remember how it went and didn't want to embarrass myself.

But yeah, that IS the best Duke quote.

"My father could beat you, and he's dead!"

"Ha! You're weak... just like me!"

"I'm sorry. No, you are!"

"I'm not tougher than you... just better than you!"

"It's more fun to mock you than to fight you!"

"I'm no match for you, snot!"

"You're lucky I held back, droolbag!"

"You had guts... mop them up!"

"In the name of pride, I will survive!"

"Check out my new exercise video series... Seven Minute Saikyo!"

"there is only room for one big boss and one snake"

"metal gear?!"

"We're not tools of the government or anyone else. Fighting was the only thing... the ONLY thing I was good at, but at least I always fought for what I believed in. Snake!...Farewell."

"A surveillance camera?!"

"Not yet, Snake! It's not over yet!"

How did you not pick the best and FIRST line from Duke3d:
"It's time to kickass and chew bubblgum and I'm all outta gum"

So awesome.
 
Manuel Calavera: I think we should team up - be partners.
Domino Hurley: Oh, I would, but I could never be partners with someone who was so much more of a man than me.
Manuel Calavera: Oh, come on... I've seen your wife.

-----------

Hector LeMans: Oh Manny... so cynical... What happened to you, Manny, that caused you to lose your sense of hope, your love of life?
Manuel Calavera: I died.

-----------

Manuel Calavera
: [referring to making balloon animals] Can you teach me to do that?
Clown: Well, uh, since you're a beginner, why don't you practice the first step?
Manuel Calavera: Which is?
Clown: Blow.
 
Snake in Metal Gear Solid: "Besides, some people just need killing..." (not really sure if that's a one liner since it's more of a response, but I don't care!)

Some guy in Day of the Tentacle: "Woe is me."

And they're none of them one-liners.

I really need to get out my copy of Krazy Ivan. That game's script was all kinds of win, but I can't remember any of the better one-liners off the top of my head.
