Spoilers for the Valhalla DLC of God of War: Ragnarok:
What can I say to you? I remember how it felt to take that throne. All that it meant and all that it did not. A God of war. God of pain, of suffering, of destruction. The Norns said I chase redemption that I know I can never deserve. What does that make me? God of fools. A God of... Hope. "When all else is lost". You lost everything. And everyone. you became... There is no forgiving you. You chose... I chose. What now? Should I, the same man, should I sit? take? proclaim? lead? place myself in service? In service. Should I lose everything and everyone, there's to be enough left inside so that I do not become you? I do not know. But I have... hope. You are cruel and arrogant and selfish. But you are more than that. You have always been more than what others saw. You are more than that.

Everything that lives is designed to end. We are perpetually trapped... in a never-ending spiral of life and death. Is it a curse? Or some kind of punishment? I often think about the god who blessed us with this cryptic puzzle... and wonder if we'll have the chance to kill him.

Anything Glados from Portal 1/2--still one of very, very few games to actually make me laugh. But also the Cave Johnson "when life gives you lemons" rant comes to mind, because it's both funny and poignant.
You might also enjoy The Stanley Parable, it's a very similar kind of humor, I recommend going in blind, as the game is a lot about exploring watching a funny dialogue in a video removes the fun out of it being a reaction to something you did.

For the good of all of us, except the ones who are deadAlright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

There's so many hard hitting quotes in this game. The one that hit me the hardest was actually the thought cabinet thought you get for trying to open the unopenable door.
Edit:
Found it.
"There is no way to open the supply depot door. Accept it. You cannot open all the doors. You have to integrate this into your character. Some doors will forever remain closed. Even if every single other door will open at one time or another, maybe to a key, or maybe to some sort of tool meant for opening doors... But this one will never accede to such commands. A realization crucial to personal growth. Crucial."
I felt so betrayed by this. I had spent a point to unlock this thought. I waited with excitement for its completion, which would surely allow me to unlock the door. But instead, I felt more called out than I have ever felt in my life.
Oh, I remember that one and that is an excellent choice. "You have to integrate this into your character" felt like the most violent thing a game has ever done to me.
