Line 119:
** Johnny Deepend is safe from harm in the middle of his swimming pool, until Gooigi reaches the control panel to drain it.
* [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'': the only way you can defeat the rogue computer GLaDOS is by manipulating incoming rocket fire through portals to hit her. Though GlaDOS has so far been shown to have control over all the systems in the entire facility, she notes that her morality core, which you destroyed, "must have had some ancillary responsibilities" and thus she is unable to deactivate the turret.
** In addition, the only effort GLaDOS makes to disarm Chell right before trying to kill her is tell her to drop it, claiming that she can only gain the promised reward (as in, cake) if she has both hands free. Of course, the Portal Gun is required to escape certain death, and Chell has been warned by now that [[The Cake Is a Lie]], so it is doubtful by then that most players would fall for it.
* ''[[Portal 2]]'':
** It initially averts this; GLaDOS has learned from the last time and presents you instead with what would be a completely lethal trap, if you and Wheatley hadn't {{spoiler|sabotaged her turret and neurotoxin production during your earlier romp through the facility}}.
