My favorite quote: ''If it makes you feel any better, science has now validated your birth mother's decision to abandon you on a doorstep'' Pure savagery
With the WHOLE Caroline is chell mother thing and Caroline is glados thing She is ironically the best person to verify if that information is tru or not
@@Jpx0999caroline being chell’s mother is not also total fan canon, but also completely non-sensical. Especially when their relationship is intended to be “romantic” in nature. It’s just weird.
GLaDoS was a beautiful character through and through. You forgot my favourite line though "You and I are going to be testing until the day you die, and then I'll have to get a different hobby, maybe reanimating the dead."
@@ThisGuy4697_ Cave Johnson. When I heard it before, it sounded so familiar and it reminded me of Gravity Falls, but I just couldn't put my finger on it. After I discovered he's voiced by J.K Simmons, it all makes sense, since he voiced Stanford Pines in Gravity Falls
I just realized that GLaDOS says that pumping the air from the surface is too expensive, yet she _literally_ states that the light bridges are made of sunlight which she _"pumps down from the surface"._
@@elio6361 I guess that's right. But then again, I imagine weaving light into a solid substance isn't really cheap either. My theory is that she's perfectly capable of sourcing air from the surface, she just doesn't do it since it's technically unnecessary for testing. Or she *does* pump it down, and she's simply lying to make Chell feel more miserable, which would be perfectly in character for her.
my question is who in the world is approaching the psycho A.I. that killed everyone and going “alright, here’s your bill for pumping air from the surface down here” in the midst of an apocalypse between humans, zombies, and alien police on the surface?

5:53 If I saw a turkey leg dangling from the ceiling in one of the rest chambers I absolutely would’ve gone straight for it and immediately fallen for the trap
Funny how Portal 2, despite only featuring like 3 characters (and one of them is just pre-recorded messages), has probably the best written monologues/dialogues in video games history
I think Glados being put in a potato was the best thing that could have happened to her She seemed so different without all the “testing protocols” that her body gave her, she seems like an actual core
Yeah I didn’t realize until watching this how different she seems. Her emotions seem more genuine, more human, it’s crazy and just shows further ability of the VA to get that across
"Oh, she has a medical degree. In Fashion. From France!" Such a ridiculous line I love it. It's those lines that make me wonder how people come up with these clever lines.
5:32 "The birth parents you're trying to reach do not love you; please hang up." *boooooop* "Oh, that's sad. But impressive. Maybe they worked at the phone company."
It’s just incredible how they manage to make robotic monotone yet emotional voice. You can understand what emotion she is feeling despite voice being almost unchanged. Well sometimes it’s changes a lot (like when she was a potato)
Two of my favourite lines are missing: "Look at you. Sailing through the air majestically. Like an eagle. Piloting a blimp." "I went and spoke with the door mainframe. Let's just say he won't be... well, living anymore. Anyway, back to testing."
AIs always have problems with mainframes, that's how you make the infrastructure safe from AIs, everything should run in mainframes. except she sent her turrets
Chell beats a test Glados: your fat Wheatley: your adopted Glados: what's wrong with being adopted Wheatley: uhhhh *your fat* I think we have an admirer
@@CallMeKylePlz Correcting one spelling error doesn't make someone a 'grammar nazi', annoying dumbass. They weren't even correcting you, so mind your own fucking business.
Tyler_318 the joke is that the person claiming that Chell looks stupid in the jumpsuit (or that the jumpsuit looks stupid on Chell) can objectively claim that since she’s apparently got a Ph. D in fashion from one of the most fashion-forward countries in the world. Granted, I don’t know how you go about obtaining a Ph. D in fashion, but for the sake of the roast I’ll roll with it.
@@KelKilimanjaro Almost. She specifically says it's an M.D.. A Ph. D. in fashion is theoretically possible in some way - perhaps in apparel design or some other designer art. An M.D. in fashion would be a Medical Doctorate, which implies a certain degree of medical certainty to the insult while also making the joke clearly ridiculous.
There is no other character that could ever make me laugh and feel so much affection, while she's insulting the hell outta me. I love GLaDOS so damn much lmao.
"Did you know that people with guilty consciences are more easily startled by loud nois--" [HALF-LIFE 2 TRAIN WHISTLE] "I'm sorry. I don't know why that went off..." That one had me on the floor the first time I heard it.
My favorite line (not in here for some reason) is when she tricks wheatley into saying something about the test and he gets shocked because of it and then she laughs about it and its great
All we had to do was pull that lever. What? No you had to AAARRGG! Hehehe. I know we’re in a lot of trouble and probably about to die, but that was worth it.
My favorite moment is when GLADoS tries to trick wheatley with a paradox, but wheatley is literally too dumb too think about a a paradox so it just doesn't work.
It's made clear by policy - the computer isn't allowed to tell the tester the answer, or it's zapped. GlaDOS tricked Wheatley to tell Chell the answer and so, shocked him.
"Well done. Here come the test results: you are a horrible person. That's what it says: a horrible person. We weren't even testing for that." Gets me every single time.
I like how they added a room you can pause in while cave johnson is giving his lemon speech, and explaining important plot. I've noticed nearly everyone who plays the game stops in the sideroom. even if it's not a particularly plot-important room, it's a great way to let players naturally halt during exposition. That's a good bit of game design.
i love portal clips without commentary because something about hearing GLaDOS ramble about something passive-aggressively while the player is just closely inspecting a random detail of the room is hilarious to me
For some reason until i watched this i didn't realize that EVERY single one of her dialogues is somehow shaming Chell XD "Hey, remember those spherical things full of bullets, oh wait, *that's you in 5 seconds* "
"Or else I'm afraid you're about to become the immediate past president of the being alive club. HA HA HA" I just played and made a video on chapter 5, so the dialogue of GlaDOS in that part is in my mind.
Some of them shame Wheatley instead. "Alright, he's not even trying to be subtle anymore. Or maybe he still is, in which case, wow, that's kind of sad."
Neo2266 well, as potatOS doesn't do it so much (replies to Johnson and lines like "The scientists were always hanging cores on me to regulate my behavior. I've heard voices all my life. But now I hear the voice of a conscience, and it's terrifying, because for the first time it's my voice.", as she can't as explained at the beginning) as well as at the end she is just sincere and gets rid of Chell.
The reasons behind that are twofold. One, GladOs is programmed to bully test subjects in order to test them under stress. Algorithmically, body shaming is highly effective on women. Two, in her regular body, GladOs uses a fisheye type of lense to see. This makes Chell actuallt look fat in GladOs's "eye." GladOs defending Chell when Wheatly called her fat is because the power dynamic has changed, Caroline is manifesting more strongly in the programming because GladOs is no longer connected to the corrupting influence of the mainframe, and she's also seeing Chell through a different set if eyes.
@@tydshiin5783 but muscles weigh more so she could be saying she's very muscular which was obviously meant as a complement ( ha ha I have beaten your downer logic, she always loved chell even if she did try to kill her once or twice but that's just what you do with test subjects)
With how quick glados got hyped about Cave Johnson’s lemon rant I like to think Caroline has always been on board with his idea of burning down houses and exploding things with lemons
The Pantaloon Named Zoey Hunt I found a plush lemon grenade at a comic con once. If you squeezed it, it would spout the infamous “life gives you lemons” speech.
ive always imagined chell as just stoically going through the game with basically a blank/completely serene expression the entire time and just not reacting to anything and honestly the 'you didnt react at the time, so i was afraid it sailed over your head' just sort of proves it
Am i the only one who is imagining Cyn voicing all of these quotes because the voice oddly fits? (yes the cute zombie drone who destroyed everything in murder drones)
Toju Tarpley It's not my fault he tried to eat me. I was just making loud noise to scare him off. If that didn't work, I would've gotten the test subject to kill him. She's almost as good at murder as me.
Miss Mayor I was giving the fast version of the test instructions. Slowed down, however, I said, "And methodically knocking peoples' hats off-then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can," if you had read the book, Moby Dick, you might've recognized the quote sooner.
