How can you master using it if you never had it to begin with? :hmm:

"Oh no! Our weapons are useless!" ~ The police from Sonic Adventure
It's not justifiable to read it, you HAVE to hear the original sound clip. It's so cheesy and the guy voicing it sounds like the squeaky voiced teen from the simpsons. Tron Bonne's Zany Game Quotes site has a wav clip of it.

Return to Zork:
"Want some rye? 'Course you do!"
'Course, you have to say it with that backwoodsy codger kind of voice.
What's great about this line that it lends itself well to polymorphism.
"Want some dinner? 'Course you do!"
"Want some money? 'Course you do!"
"Want some headless squirrels? 'Course you do!"
You get the picture.
Return to Zork:
"Want some rye? 'Course you do!"
Wow, I had totally forgotten about this one. My roommate and I had that one stuck in our heads for a few weeks.
Another one that we still bring out occasionaly is the old guy from Diablo who sounds like Sean Connery:
"Stay a while and listen"

Never played the game before, but... GREAT catch phrases. Telling from this article. Also, the main site (I-Mockery) is awesome. They also have an article on crazy NES stuff:

Star Ocean 2: "The back?" (Rena, I think).
"BEHIND me?"
All the voice acting i n SO2 was cheesy as hell, which is why it sticks in your head.
Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance: "I've found something." (Archer). Another pretty cheesy voice that my wife and I seem to keep repeating all the time.

Anything from Conker's Bad Fur Day, particularly the drunk scarecrows sayings, or the little Death with the helium voice, especially his rant about cats. Funniest thing I've heard from a game in ages! Or the Scouser (sorry, Liverpudlian) beetles voices, absolutely hilarious!

The last metroid is in captivity. The universe is at peace.
Just thinking about this voice clip makes me nauseous. It is probably the worst voice in any SNES game, ever. It sounds like some gay guy with a lisp. They ruined an epic beginning with an annoying voice. There is no point to having it in the game. What a waste of ROM space.

In 'Tony Hawk 2', on the Venice level where you have to ollie over the 5 bums scattered around the area. Every time you jump a bum, the bum says "Get outta here, ya' creep!" in a dirty-old-man voice... I can't even count how many times I've used that phrase in various real-life situations. Sure raises a few eyebrows, though! :D
Somebody quoted a phrase from 'Operation Wolf' earlier.... here's some more favs from that classic game:
"You have a few rockets bombs left"
"You have a few physical strength left"
In 'Zombie's Revenge', as you're moving your character (one of whom is named, eh, 'Stick Breitling') throughout the level with a small amount of time on the game clock, a booming voice from outta nowhere repeatedly reminds you that 'There's no time!'.......... 'There's no time!' *ad nauseum*
"Victory Excites Me!" Ein, from DOA 2 (DC version) or,
"Good Vibrations!" Ein, once again, DOA 2 (DC version)

Things like this can happen with a senile old man - Elder in Defenders of Oasis (GG)
SORRY. IM DEAD. - Boss in Monster Party (NES).
You think you play well, but you don't. You suck. - Gravestone in Earthbound.
However, this game isn't over. We'll take that girl soon enough! Villain in Langrisser 2
Also, a lot of the unit acknowledgments from Warcraft 2 and Starcraft are classic but they need to be heard to be fully appreciated. I like the siege tanks, ogres and grunts the most ^^
