Originally, it was intended to express disappointment with the fact that the cake GLaDOS promises to serve Chell when she completes the test chambers appears to be nonexistent, replaced instead by a furnace. The Cake is a Lie is widely popular catchphrase used originally by Portal players, but soon it spread to forums and blogs where the phrase began to take on a new meaning outside of the context of the game. The cube has become so popular that Valve began to sell plushie cubes, and it features heavily in fanart. As previously mentioned, GLaDOS repeatedly mentions the fact that the Weighted Companion Cube is the player's "only friend", etc. The idea was created from stories about isolated subjects falling in love with inanimate objects. In Portal, players must bring the cube where the weighted companion through an entire test chamber, only to throw it in an incinerator in the end. It is distinguished from other weighted storage cubes in-game by the hearts displayed on its sides. The Weighted Companion Cube is a weighted storage cube in both Portal and Portal 2. The phrase also serves as a synonym for the idiom "thinking outside the box". Thinking with Portals is a catchphrase often accompanied by photoshopped images depicting how the concept of portals could be applied in real life. Thus, the Cube has become something of a fan icon of the series, with many pieces of official merchandise and fan-created memorabilia depicting it. During the test, GLaDOS continually makes reference to how emotionally attached Chell is to the Cube. In the first title, Chell encounters the Weighted Companion Cube at the start of one of the test chambers, and GLaDOS forces her to incinerate it at the end of the chamber. One of the main focuses of the Portal fandom is the Weighted Companion Cube.

There have also been many Portal-related fan projects, including home-made portal guns, fan films, and even a video game crossover with the Super Mario series (Mari0).

There has also been a large amount of fanart set in the Portal universe. The Portal series has a large presence on 4chan /v/ board, and there are many other fansites. These commenters have pointed to the Portal series as proof that not all women in video games have to be hypersexualized in order for the games to be marketable. GLaDOS appears as a giant robotic woman, bound and suspended by the ankles. It was even argued by some that Portal is a "feminist critique" of modern FPS games in the first title, the only two characters are Chell (the player) and GLaDOS (the antagonist), both of them women. Critics praised the games' innovative take on the more traditional first-person shooter. Both games won multiple Game of the Year awards in 20, respectively. Portal and Portal 2 received widespread critical and fan acclaim, and quickly became hugely popular.
It also introduced a co-op campaign and a community-based map creation system. Portal 2 had similar gameplay, and the plot focused more on the history of GLaDOS and Aperture Science.
