(as always I don't know if this has already been done but until Drunk Duck gives me a search bar for the forum I can't really search though hundreds of posts to make sure it's 100% original, sorry if it isn't)

As much as we all love video games we all know there are an awful lot of bad lines and horrid voice actors so I'm wondering...What's The Worst Line Of Dialog You've Heard/Seen In A Video Game?

It can be the way it's said
eg. The way Dante says "I should have been the one to fill your dark soul with liiiiight!" as if his balls dropped half way though in Devil May Cry

Or the actual line for bad grammar
eg. "all your base are belong to us"

or the inappropriate situation it was said
eg. When Barry says "That was too close. You were almost a Jill sandwich!" when Jill was almost CRUSHED TO DEATH in Resident Evil

Any line from any game, it dose NOT have to be spoke, it could be text only :-D
(feel free to prove it's awfulness though the wonders of youtube or something)
UNTIL ONE DAY IN THE YEAR ELEVENTY-TWENTY-TEENTH!

Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. The lines from The Adoring Fan. ALL OF THEM!!!

"By Azura! By Azura! By Azura! It's the Grand Champion! I can't believe it's you! Standing here, next to me!"

"Yes, oh great and mighty Grand Champion? Is there something you need? Can I carry your weapon? Shine your boots? Backrub, perhaps?"

"Golly, you're the best! I'm going to follow you and watch you and worship the ground you walk on! Let's go!"

"Here? Right here? What about, say... over there? No? Right here? All right then, you're the Grand Champion! Whatever you say!"

This is why I'll never do that arena questline EVER AGAIN!!!

Navi from Ocarina from Time. All lines. Especially, HEY LISTEN! HEY! HEY! OOH!

Pretty much every line Deadra had in Zeno Clash. Not because it was badly written, but because the voice acting was so bad. Hers was the most grating out of all of them, and it's the reason I've been putting off completing it, which is a pity because it's awesome apart from that.

He was supposed to be annoying, but that doesn't really help much. He kind of reminded me of Mud from Gothic, except you could kill Mud and then feel bad about it because Mud was actually sympathetic.
Hey buddy, you should be a Russian Cosmonaut, and here's why.

I played Prototype recently. There's a sequence near the end where you're chasing someone hiding in a tank who continually stops with other heavily armed vehicles to kill you before running off again and again. All the while, the main character is doing a full bore Christian Bale impression and screaming with a straight face that his target is a 'suicidal moron'. Just struck me as corny sounding.
 
 
"You tell yourself to just
enjoy the process," he added. "That whether you succeed or fail, win or
lose, it will be fine. You pretend to be Zen. You adopt detachment, and
ironic humor, while secretly praying for a miracle."

When you beat Super Mario Galaxy, Mario looks up and says "Welcome new galaxy!"

It just seems cheesy and out of place to me. Not sure why, it just seems lame. Not that any of the ending wasn't lame.

Any line spoken by Welch in Star Ocean 4. You could combine Navi and the voiceover guy from Crazy Taxi and the result still wouldn't be half as annoying.

Also the line "Be garbage of cesspool ha ha ha" from Splatterhouse: Wanpaku no Graffiti is pretty damn terrible, but at least it's funny.

That sounds like something a Russian mobster would say to you before he pumps your skull full of lead. :-D

The worst lines I've probably ever heard were from "Plumber's don't wear ties" when AVGN reviewed it. This scene chief among them(warning, NSFW): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtDGJxMKm64&feature=related

Whenever anybody says the word "taste" in Soulcalibur III. An example:

Nightmare: "Have a taste of my darkness!"

ugh...

I was gonna say that same line for Devil May Cry that the original thread poster wrote. What about in Onimusha that big red demon that says: "I haven't had human in a while and I'm pretty hungry HAR HAR HAR!"

Capcom is the king of bad dialogue you can find a terrible terrible line in every one of their games.

Resident Evil 4: "Where'd everybody go?... Bingo night?"

Street Fighter 4: "It's super dynamic cooking time!"

From the aforementioned Resident Evil (the original PS1 release): Just about any line in the beginning of the game. The one that sticks out in my mind:
Barry-"What? What IS this?"
Jill-"What is it?"
Barry-"It's BLOOD. I hope this isn't Chris's blood..."
(of course, it was mostly the WAY it was said...comedy gold!)

Also, one that especially sticks out in my mind at the moment was from Mass Effect. It happened on Noveria, after the first "interview" with Anoleis (or however his name's spelled).
Secretary (paraphrased)- "you can't bludgeon your way through these precedings"
Shepherd-"I can bludgeon pretty hard!"
It's actually only funny if the player character is male, due to the hilarious way the vocal actor said it.

those are the ones that are sticking out in the ol' brain box right now...maybe I'll think of some more later.

You have to admit that Welch in that game looked pretty... pretty CRAZY!!!

And who the heck did the lines for Claude in the PSP version of Star Ocean 2? Some of them sounded kinda... whiney.

I don't know, it's hard to beat Richter Belmont's dialogue in Symphony of the Light. Was just reminded of this in the latest Cinemassacre review of Castlevania.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8UBnR3AWuo

I can imagine the voice actor for Richter foppishly waving his hand while saying that first line.
 
 
"You tell yourself to just
enjoy the process," he added. "That whether you succeed or fail, win or

I have to wonder who directed the voice work for the localization. It sounds like they used some pretty crappy recording equipment and had the voice actors yelling into the mic. It sounded a lot better in Japanese.

I myself have spotted my fair share of awkward and silly dialogs from various games but there's nothing that sticks out in my mind at the moment. At least nothing that hasn't been covered already (Like resident evil and Ocarina of Time).
Those were my two cents.
If you have any other questions, please deposit a quarter.

I can't think of any line I've seen/heard myself that was crappy...

Anyway, this thread reminds me of the time one of my friends played Der Langrisser and finished it. He said one of the endings was like that famous Star Wars scene with "I am your father..." and "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!".

lol ripoff =^_^=
Nya!

What that's the best god damn line ever.
Luigi is hilarious and that line is one of the many reasons why.

Also I think the B button turned on and off his torch.
