"The 75mm gun is firing. The 37mm gun is firing, but is traversed round the wrong way. The Browning is jammed. I am saying "Driver, advance." and the driver, who can't hear me, is reversing. And as I look over the top of the turret and see twelve enemy tanks fifty yards away, someone hands me a cheese sandwich."

Wow, forgot about this thread! Another quote I like a lot is from Frederick of Fire Emblem: Awakening. I think it's if he gets a crit, he says this badass pre-mortem one-liner.
'Pick a god, and pray!'
"The best way to lie is to tell the truth." Attelus Kaltos.
My story! Secret War
After his organisation is hired to hunt down an influential gang leader on the Hive world, Omnartus. Attelus Kaltos is embroiled deeper into the complex world of the Assassin. This is the job which will change him, for better or for worse. Forevermore. Chapter 1.
The Angaran Chronicles: Hamar Noir. After coming back from a dangerous mission which left his friend and partner, the werewolf: Emilia in a coma. Anargrin is sent on another mission: to hunt down a rogue vampire. A rogue vampire with no consistent modus operandi and who is exceedingly good at hiding its tracks. So much so even the veteran Anargrin is forced into desperate speculation. But worst of all: drive him into desperate measures. Measures which drives Anargrin to wonder; does the ends, justify the means?
"Rock and stone!" and "For Karl!" always have a nice ring to them, more games need a dedicated salute button.
"No worries ma'am. What don't kill us just pisses us off more." a little throwaway line from Fireteam Elite, but nicely sums up the game experience for me.

Portal 2 has a great variation of this with the "Part Where He Kills You" gag that is spoken by two characters, shows up as the chapter header and even pops and achievement with the same name.
Every character in Darktide has their own writer, which really helps giving each character a voice of their own, instead of just the same lines but with a different accent.
For me it's still Sergeant-Major Morrow who has some of those morale lifting lines just dripping with sarcasm.
"Oh, look at all those smiling faces. Cheer up! If you were on Armageddon, most of you would be heroes of the endless war by now. Which means you'd be stone dead. Makes you think, don't it?"
But that said, sometimes I just YouTube squad banter and the interactions are just gold. 👌🏻
Wyll: "Lae'zel, do you believe in love at first sight?"
Lae'zel: "I hardly believe in love at all."
Wyll: "Oh."
Lae'zel: "But I do believe in carnal pleasure."
Wyll: "Oh!"

Don't remember much about the game, but this scene has been stuck in my head 10+ years.
