Any Tim Schafer game has dialogue that'd put most sitcoms to shame:
From Day of the tentacle:
Dr Fred: I think I've made myself totally clear, Step one: Find Plans, Step two: Save World, Step three: Get out of my house! Let's get cracking!
And, possibly the coolest game ever made, Grim Fandango:
Mannny: Glottis... Glottis... is that a German name?
Glottis: Oh, no. My roots lie not in any Earthly nation's soil. I am an elemental spirit summoned up from the Land of the Dead itself and given one purpose, one skill, one desire... TO DRIVE. Or, to change oil or adjust timing belts if no driving jobs are open.
Manny: As a rule, I never touch anything more sophisticated and delicate than myself.
And, yet again, Psychonauts:
After being presented with a "communications device"
Raz:Is that... bacon?

The line that always makes me laugh is in Disgaea: Hour of Darkness when Laharl tells a particularly shapely woman (Jennifer if memory hasn't betrayed me) "Keep your sexy body away from me!" Both the line and the delivery crack me up. I also got a chuckle at him constantly calling that one dude "Mid Boss."
Having just finished Grim Fandango...
"Love? Love is for the living." - Manny
"Is it hard to kiss up to the boss so much without any lips?" - Manny
"It's like they ripped out my heart - *rips out heart* - and tossed it into the woods!" *tosses it into woods, promptly faints* - Glottis

I just heard this one in Mass Effect after Kaiden looks around and notes that someone has already been in this area.
Me: Wow, you're grasp of the obvious is outstanding.

I don't have the patience to search through 7 pages of this, so I'll just assume no one has yet quoted one of my favorite lines from Burn:Cycle
"When God was crapping stupidity He must have dumped a shit-load on you."
"When God was crapping stupidity He must have dumped a shit-load on you."
The G-Man gives me the shivers. The good kind of shivers that you know something good is happening, like a pretty lady asks you for coffee.TheNecroswanson said:
Couple lines:
"Why is it that whenever someone says 'with all due respect', they really mean 'kiss my ass'"-Ashley Williams, Mass Effect
"I avoided your vitals. You'll live."-Segfried, Soul Calibur III

I have no idea how this thread got this far without these:
"I had a permanent constipated grimace on my face. I was revenge personified."
"What? I'm a collector! There's nothin' nerdy about it, I'm a collector! Lots of tough guys are into this stuff! Frankie was into this stuff, he was a fuckin' tough guy! Just you wait till I sell my collection on eBay!"
"One last thing left to do. I was compelled to give Vlad his gun back... one bullet at a time."
"Well, that was fun... in a fuckin' terrible, sick, not-at-all-fun kinda way."
And my personal favourite:
"The rain was comin' down like all the angels in heaven decided to take a piss at the same time. When you're in a situation like mine, you can only think in metaphors."
