is cake really a lie?

I'm talking about portal in case you don't know what I'm talking about...

So the game brewed up a famous quote

"Cake is a Lie"

but if you actually play the game and see the ending, there you see a cake.

So... Is the quote claiming that the cake is a lie, a lie itself?

The game didn't give me cake, therefor it is a lie.
Also Valve owes me cake.

The cake is a lie.

Technicaly the cake exists, therefor it wasn't a lie. However, you never get said cake as promised. Thus creating a lie/truth paradox.

I just bought my own cake...OgreB

quit braggin :( *goes back to licking computer screen pic of cake*

Do people actually find that funny?vlin1108

I prefer Pie :DMrUnSavory1

Oh its a lie... and so is your companion cube!

Cheating whore...

Should there be a spoiler warning?RK-Mara

There's a story in Portal? :P

In the context of the game, yes it's humorous. However it's a little more high brow than typical potty humor so I can understand why some may not find the game funny.BlackBart2

It's a little amusing, yes. But out of all the internet memes, well, even ''This is Sparta!'' tops this.

that's why i'm a pie man. Pie never lies.

if you ever get a choice between Heaven and Pie Heaven, you have to choose Pie Heaven. It may be a trick, but just imagine if it's not!.

But you said that pie never lies, so if Pie Heaven would be an option, it couldn't be a trick!

And it's actually better than in many other recent titles.

The Pie is the truth. Everything in the world is about the Greater Pie. LONG LIVE THE PIE!

Topic: I dont know. Ive never had it, because I didnt finish Portal. Not me kind a game.

the cake is a lie. Glados never gives u it, even tho she says she will :'( and then in the end, i THINK that u die b4 u get the cake, but it's just a fade to white so who knows :P

i guess we'll find out in Portal 2. :D

High brow? There's nothing funny about a "joke" that is only amusing to five year olds.

Didn't Glados promise cake if you completed the tests ?

If so... you never got cake at the end... many people have died tryin to get the cake... and... the cake is a lie.

Someone doesn't like the game or doesn't appreciate the sardonic humor in the metaphor given by the cake:P
