Forgot one from Anachronox:
"Do you know what the difference is between you, and the "you" five minutes ago? THE "YOU" FIVE MINUTES AGO HAD FIVE MINUTES TO LIVE."
Psychonauts:
Crazy Girl Scout Woman: AAARGH! I'LL SCRATCH YOUR EYES OUT!!
Raz: HAH! You CAN'T! That's what the goggles are for!
Raz: OK. I'm now inside the insane asylum......wearing a strait jacket......and talking to myself.
Ford: (after teaching Pyrokinesis) Now remember, never use this power unless it's for a very important reason. Or, if it would be really really cool! And if you're doing it to impress girls...make sure they're not wearing any hairspray.
Ford: (when you pick him up with telekinesis) Very good. Now go put me down easy and pick up something that won't blow up your head when you make it mad.

"Sorry, my beds are reserved for seamen." -Mirabelle Monet, proprietor of the Fo'c's'le, TES 4: Oblivion
I can't be the only one who just burst out laughing at that. Especially considering... well, you know.

I like this little villainy banter from Shadow Hearts 2, especially how it's singularly the highest camp moment of a villain who has tried nothing more than be totally evil the entire game.
(Spoilers some for Shadow Hearts 2)
Yuri: Hey, Rasputin, Bite me.
Rasputin: NO! It is YOU who shall bite ME!

still alive from portals, great game it was, and it didn't overstay it's welcome just like yahtzhee saidwrshamilton said:
Curse of Monkey Island, right near the beginning, when I realized, hey, I'm gonna like this game:
Murray: You may call me Murray! I am the harbinger of your doom! And the forces of hell will applaud me, as I stride through the gates of hell, carrying your head on a pike!
Guybrush: "Stride"?
Murray: Alright then, ROLL, ROLL through the gates of hell! Must you take the fun out of everything?
...
Speaking of talking skulls, Morte from Planescape: Torment was pretty damn funny, though I can't recall any good lines at the moment.

Actually, thinking about Curse of Monkey Island, I think A Pirate I Was Meant to Be is one of the most memorable, ah, musical numbers I've ever heard in a game...

The fact that it was interactive only made it all the funnier.

From Halo 3 on Legendary:
[I switch from Rifle to Gravity Hammer]
Marine: Dude, is that your cell phone!?
The Halo dialogue seems to get better the harder the difficulty is set.

From the Jak series, all said by Daxter...
"You can call me... Orange Lightning! Za-za-zing!" (later, a monk says "You and Orange Lightning are not welcome here.")
"Fish in a barrel, baby! Fish... (whispers) inabarrel."
(reading contract) "...billboard rights, game rights - GAME RIGHTS?!"
From Escape From Monkey Island...
(Guybrush is about to kill himself) "Goodbye, cruel adventure game... eh, forget it."

'We do what we must, because we can.' -- Aperture Science motto, Portal
'Didn't we have fun, though? Remember when the platform was sliding into the firepit and I said 'goodbye' and you were like 'no way!' and then I was all 'we pretended we were going to murder you'? -- That was great.' -- GLaDOS, Portal
'Save myself? From death? Is that why I've come here? I'm not afraid to die. At times I've welcomed death.' -- Alice, American McGee's Alice
The Jabberwock: You've kept me waiting, Alice. Have you never heard that punctuality's a virtue?
Alice: You and my dentist's assistant have much in common.
The Jabberwock: You're habitually late, aren't you? Between your dim-witted daydreaming and your preening vanity the hours just fly by; there's barely time for anything else.
Alice: That the best you can do? Hurl second-rate insults? They don't hurt...
The Jabberwock: Your family was expecting you to come to them, weren't they? Perhaps they thought you might warn them of the danger... being close to the source as you were. But they waited in vain, didn't they and died for their trouble.
Alice: We were all asleep. It was an accident... I...
The Jabberwock: You selfish, misbegotten, and unnatural child! You smelled the smoke. But you were in dreamland taking tea with your friends. You couldn't be bothered. Your room was protected and spared while your family upstairs roasted in an inferno of incredible *horror*!
Alice: Noooooooooooooooo!
-- Alice and The Jabberwock, American McGee's Alice
'Only the insane equate pain with success.' -- Cheshire Cat, American McGee's Alice
'You're wrong, dammit! And I can prove it.' -- Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney
'I've done my best, I have no regrets.' -- Bridge Battler, Pokemon R/B/Y
And then my favourite:
'Time passes. People move. Like a river's flow, it never ends. A childish mind will turn to noble ambition. Young love will become deep affection. The clear water's surface reflects growth. Now listen to the Serenade of Water to reflect upon yourself.' -- Sheik, Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time

So memorable I had to screenshot it! The talking chicken in Baldur's Gate.

Speaking of Baldur's Gates Quotes
Tiax: The day comes when Tiax will point and click!
But enough of BG. Planescape: Torment also has some great quotes.
Vhailor: When the injustice is great enough, Justice will lend me the strength needed to correct it. None may stand against it. It will shatter every barrier, sunder any shield, tear through any enchantment and lend its servant the power to pass sentence. Know this: there is nothing on all the Planes that can stay the hand of justice when it is brought against them. It may unmake armies. It may sunder the thrones of gods. Know that for ALL who betray Justice, I am their fate... and fate carries an Executioner's Axe.
The Transcendent One: DOES HE REALLY MATTER TO YOU?
Annah: He matters MORE to me than life!
The Transcendent One: THEN... DIE.
Generic Elderly Hive Dweller: I'll bet ye've got all sorts o' barmy questions! (She mimics your heroic stance) Greetin's, I have some questions... can ye tell me about this place? Who's the Lady o' Pain? I'm lookin' fer the magic Girdle of Swank Iron, have ye seen it? Do ye know where a portal ta the 2,817th Plane o' the Abyss might be? Do ye know where the Holy Flamin' Frost-Brand Gronk-Slayin' Vorpal Hammer o' Woundin' an' Returnin' an' Shootin'-Lightnin'-Out-Yer-Bum is?
Nordom: I think, therefore I am... I think.
What can change the nature of a man?

These two jump out at me from recent games.
"It also says you're adopted, so that's funny too."
-GlaDOS (Portal, PC)
You hear that one toward the end, and I just loved that one, it was so passive-aggressive and nasty, and just had great delivery. I played the end a few times just to hear some of the lines there. Portal has a lot of great lines, though.
"On behalf of the grateful Fatherland, and glorious struggle, honour and blood, I present this Iron Cross"
-German Nararator, Company of Heroes (PC)
Not a real fan of the Germans in that game, but the delivery of that line is perfect after you achieving the third level of veterancy for units in a given category. The line is delivered so somber and low, I just thought it was great. The voice acting in that game is also top notch, cursing everywhere, but it mostly fits the game.

Ratchet: "There's no way a Lombax would invent something that rediculous."
Clank: "Oh really? What about your nuclear powered rocket sled? Your anti-matter bathroom buddy? And let us not forget about your electro-shock undergarments you invented last fall."
Ratchet: "Stunderwear."

Every single line from Planescape: Torment was a gem, but this one always got a giggle out of me whenever i had been standing still for too long:
Morte: C'mon chief, let's shake a leg... Well, *You* shake a leg...
If you haven't played it(and you should), Morte is a floating skull.
And i wish i could remember the old lady's rant about the "Holy Flamin' Frost-Brand Gronk-Slayin' Vorpal Hammer o' Woundin' an' Returnin' an' Shootin'-Lightnin'-Out-Yer-Bum."
*EDIT* oh, look at me, the berk who needs to learn to read more carefully, thanks madman, i love that one!

I loved nearly every line of dialouge by Cole in GoW.
I know he was just a giant sterotype but boy was he funny.
