1. GLaDOS (Portal series)

When the scientists at Aperture Science (the same ones she killed with deadly neurotoxins) designed her, they added in a painful addiction to science. She's not being mean and funny because she wants to, it's because she's going through withdrawal. Completing experiments is her heroine in a very literal sense, you're her needle in a slightly less literal sense, and she has no choice but to keep forcing you to do what she says because that's how she was born. GLaDOS is a hilarious, mean crack baby, and that's why we love her.
