Gathers: Do you want the bad news or the good news first?
Brock: I don't know, the good I guess-
Gathers: There is no good news! Just bad news and weird news.

Those of you who volunteered to be injected with praying mantis DNA, I've got some good news and some bad news. Bad news is we're postponing those tests indefinitely. Good news is we've got a much better test for you: fighting an army of mantis men. Pick up a rifle and follow the yellow line. You'll know when the test starts.
—Cave Johnson, CEO of Aperture Science, Portal 2

Admiral Emm: Commodore Bhotsu plays an amusing game with me. At least, I presume it to be amusing for him. I would now like to play it with you. It is called "Good News Bad News".
DeHaans: Umm...I know this game well, Admiral. I'd rather not play.

I've got some bad news, and I've got some good news. The bad news is, there is no key to the Universe. The good news is, it has been left unlocked.

Somebody in the thread said "Oh god, there's not another sewer level, is there?", and the good news is no, there is not another sewer level. Bad news is it's the same one from before.
