The Part Where He Kills You

More than anything that particular part still sits with me. The chapter title appearing, the voice lines from Wheatley and GladOS, and the achievement pop up. All perfectly timed.

The cherry on top is that, once you leave the area, if you double back Wheatley comments that he didn’t think you would and he kindly asks you to jump into a bottomless pit. Upon doing so, he reacts with pleasant surprise.

"The part where he kills you" was funny with the 1-2 punch with the dialog followed by the chapter name text, but what really made the moment shine for me was the first-playthrough-only achievement popup on Xbox with the same text coming in to finish the joke.

It's one of like 2 great jokes I remember through achievements. The other was a 4th wall joke from "High on Life" where a boss taunts you by giving you an achievement for "Spending 15 hours in the Alien Strip Club" and explains that it's permanent and all your friends can see it now.
