A weapon — usually a Cool Sword — that talks. Some combination of Empathic Weapon, Evil Weapon, and Exposition Fairy may apply. It could be magical (the weapon may have its own soul) or technological (substitute soul with AI and voice output).
It might get annoying, though. If the weapon won't shut up, the wielder may feel Blessed with Suck. If the weapon can do more than just talk, see Equippable Ally.

In Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten, all of the magichange swords (And every other magichange weapon) are capable of speech, being sentient monsters shapeshifted into the form of a weapon. They're usually the ones doing the talking instead of the wielder during attacks.

La Notte Eterna, a 3rd party setting for D&D 5e: Among the things that players can find in fallen meteors are Yolandi the Sickle and Nindja the Sword, a pair of demon siblings who were bound into the forms of weapons long ago. Both retain the power of speech and their ancient lust for evil, and seek to manipulate their wielders into freeing and reuniting them.

JourneyQuest's Sword of Fighting speaks. Generally in a fashion insulting to its wielder. The weapon itself may be Ax-Crazy, which seems odd for a sword. It's also a Clingy MacGuffin for extra fun.

The Colour of Magic: Rincewind comes across Kring, a talking sword that tries to help him save Twoflower from Wyrmburg. It had very definite ideas about how its wielder should act, threatening to kill Rincewind if he didn't do the suitably heroic thing, by pointing itself at his neck. The sword disappears afterwards and its current whereabouts are unknown, although it may have been dropped overboard from the back of a dragon flying at great height above a very deep sea. Whoops.

Bleach:
Shinigami swords (zanpakutou) are born from the shinigami's soul. It takes talent and desire for the shinigami to awaken the living spirit within the sword for it to become an Empathic Weapon and even more talent to learn its name and release its powers, at which point it crosses into a Talking Weapon. Zanpakutou tend to share the shinigami's personality, including strengths and flaws, which can make it very hard for shinigami and their zanpakutou to get along. For those that crack the skill of Jinzen (the meditative skill of communing with the zanpakutou to strengthen the bonds of trust and respect), great power can be developed and harnessed. It's not possible to reach the higher seats without this bond, and only one captain (Kenpachi Zaraki) has ever existed who had no communication with his zanpakutou. Lack of good communion with one's sword can diminish strength and make the sword itself fragile and prone to breaking. The manga mostly focuses on Ichigo's zanpakutou, Zangetsu, but has shown other zanpakutou such as Zabimaru and Ouetsu Nimaiya's room full of Honey Trap female zanpakutou spirits.
While most arrancar don't even have empathic weapons (their zanpakuto are merely their full power sealed into a sword), Coyote Starrk's power did not split into an arrancar and a sword like other Espadas, it split into two arrancar (himself and Lilynette). When they recombine to reach full strength, Lilynette becomes a pair of talking (and extremely opinionated) guns.

Duel Savior Destiny: Aether Relics are apparently intelligent and willingly respond to the call of those who wish to wield them, but Taiga notes that his own sword, Traitor, is rather quiet. We don't even get to see that much. Turns out they've been forbidden from speaking by God and the moment God's eye falls off of Traitor, he immediately becomes Mr. Exposition, at which point it turns out that they haven't been allowed to speak because they'd tell everyone that God intends to destroy all of existence. It's happened before.

The Silmarillion: Túrin Turambar has a "to be or not to be" moment where he asks his cursed sword, Gurthang, if it will take his life swiftly. The sword answers yes, and Túrin kills himself. This is overtly taken from Kullervo's death in The Kalevala (see the Myths folder below), but unlike Kullervo's sword Gurthang says it will gladly kill Túrin to wash away the blood of the innocents he's murdered. And the story never makes it quite clear if it really talked: Túrin was less than sane, the sword only spoke that once, and nobody else was around to record the event or remember it after Túrin died.

In Starlight and Shadows, Sharlarra steals a sword to use as part of a disguise, and discovers to her annoyance that it is an enchanted Singing Sword which insists on singing operatic odes to her glory when drawn. This is rather counterproductive to her stealth mission, though she does get some use out of it when she learns she can instruct it to imitate the voices of others.

Dave the Barbarian: Lula the sword. Talking weapons show up often in this show. Owning one is treated as akin to dating or marriage — so Lula is understandably upset when one of her old owners turns up (after having carelessly abandoned her years ago), begs her to come back, then gets bored with her and runs off with another sword.

Borderlands 2: There are a few of these:
If you take Loader #1340's AI core from "Out of Body Experience" to Marcus at the end of the quest, he'll install it in a shotgun that will provide commentary like "Nice one, boss!" when you kill an enemy, or "Why'd we stop shooting?" when you reload or if you aim down the sights ("Let's take a closer look."). Take it to Zed and he'll install it in an Absorb shield that warns you when he's fully charged ("Come at me.") or depleted ("Sorry boss! I'm gone!"), as well as trash talk any elemental Damage Over Time that isn't Shock, the main weakness of all shields).
The Morningstar sniper rifle, given to you by Hyperion (the MegaCorp owned by the Big Bad), constantly tries to guilt-trip you for killing people with it, a.k.a it has the "FPS Mod", which was made by project Ex-Kay Seedy.
The Bane is a gun that has annoying shrieks replacing the usual shooting sound effects.note  Also worth noting that you cannot silence it. Ever. Turning the game's sound effects and music down to zero will not quiet those LOUD NOISES.
The Commander Lilith DLC adds the Overcompensator from Tales from the Borderlands, only this time it now talks like a Surfer Dude. Another is the Hot Mama, a sniper rifle that speaks entirely in Double Entendres and moans when you score a Critical Hit.

Borderlands 3 introduces the Handsome Jackhammer and the Sellout:
The Handsome Jackhammer is a Hyperion-made SMG that, when reloaded, is thrown much like a Tediore weapon. It seems Rhys may have had a hand in its creation, as the weapon seems to have Jack's AI embedded in it.
The Sellout is a Maliwan pistol that is gained in a quest much like the "Kill Yourself" quest from Borderlands 2. When equipped, Tyreen Calypso will constantly make fun of the fact that you literally became a Sell-Out by killing yourself for a fancy gun.

Khazid'hea from the Drizzt novels can speak only telepathically to its current wielder, and often chooses not to do that. It desires to be wielded by the strongest warrior, and is capable of changing the shape of its pommel to make itself more appealing to a new wielder. It angsted for a while over its inability to alter the shape of its blade, since its desired wielder Drizzt fought with a scimitar instead.

Rumo & His Miraculous Adventures. Rumo gets a sword that talks to him, but he is the only one who can hear it. The problem: The two-bladed "sword" (more the size of a pig-sticker) actually contains two personalities. One is a very talkative and mostly ineffective coward (who talked Rumo in taking the sword), the other one a blood-thirsty, single-minded warrior (who can sulk when denied a fight). Rumo actually threatens to abandon the sword should it not stop talking.

Baldur's Gate II: The sword Lilarcor is intelligent enough to have an Ax-Crazy personality. Many players find it to be a most suiting weapon for the mentally less-than-stable Ranger Minsc. So much in fact that a fan-made Game Mod adds extra banter if Minsc is wielding the sword.
The popularity of the weapon also resulted in it being added to The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind via mods.

Dead Cells has the Serenade power. When used, it summons a flying sword that's very talkative...and easily bored. If the player doesn't attack the targets it marks, it counts down a 30 second timer, at which point it vanished. The player can also call it hand and use it as a melee weapon, during which it also quite talkative.

Earthworm Jim did a parody episode about this. Jim gets a talking sword in a sandwich that claims to have been owned by all the great heroes. Eventually, it's revealed that it's never actually done anything significant.

Destiny's Wave, from the Whateley Universe. It is the magical weapon of Bladedancer, the Handmaid of the Tao, and is a jade jian that can cut through pretty much anything. It has the soul of a great woman warrior sealed inside it, and seems perfectly willing to talk to Bladedancer's friends too.

Discworld:
The Colour of Magic: Rincewind comes across Kring, a talking sword that tries to help him save Twoflower from Wyrmburg. It had very definite ideas about how its wielder should act, threatening to kill Rincewind if he didn't do the suitably heroic thing, by pointing itself at his neck. The sword disappears afterwards and its current whereabouts are unknown, although it may have been dropped overboard from the back of a dragon flying at great height above a very deep sea. Whoops.
Men at Arms: On a darker note, the Gonne seemingly has a brief conversation with its wielder about why it fired on the dwarf who'd just repaired it. It's unclear if this is a real example or just the wielder going crazy.

World of Warcraft:
Corrupted Ashbringer whispers to you when you're close enough to Darion while he's carrying it. It's quite unnerving at times if you don't see it coming. Corrupted Ashbringer once was a useable item, and the ghost of Mograine would whisper to the wielder through it.
Frostmourne relays the voice of the Lich King to the wielder's head. Now that the wielder IS the Lich King, it probably does not whisper to him anymore, though. Turns out that the souls of everyone it kills are trapped inside, and can show up to harangue Arthas. This may be one of the reasons he was storing it in an empty room instead of carrying it with him the whole time.
Garrosh Hellscream's weapon, Xal'atoh, Desecrated Image of Gorehowl, is a twisted copy his father's axe, Gorehowl. Created by the power of the Old God Y'shaarj, it whispers into the mind of any player that wields it. Naturally, said whispers are rather unsetteling.
Some artifacts also get in on this. The shadow priest one, Xal'atath, is another Old God relic, and constantly whispers requests to give in to him, or prove unworthy so he can eat your soul and move on to the next wielder, occasionally peppered in with cryptic hints about the nature of Warcraft's Greater-Scope Villain. Meanwhile Demonology warlocks get Thal'kiel, a former demon lord who was reduced to a skull after his pupil backstabbed him, he's a much chattier Deadpan Snarker who tends to give out amusing commentary in a sarcastic dry wit, while occasionally sharing useful information about Legion generals.

Tommy's sword Saba spoke in Seasons 2 and 3 of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. He gradually shut up as time passed. (In one episode, he was "sword-napped" and taken hostage by Goldar, who was smart enough to gag him.) He was British and definitely snarky, carried over from his Japanese counterpart Gosei Sentai Dairanger.

The climax of the Dark Knight chapter in Final Fantasy Dimensions reveals that Graham, the Guest-Star Party Member, is actually an empty suit of armor that is being controlled by a sword inhabited by Graham's soul. The boss battle breaks the enchantment that allows him to manipulate the armor, but he's still in the sword and remains as a kind of Spirit Advisor who continues to offer advice and commentary. (He also becomes an equippable weapon after this.)

The Battle of Magh Tuireadh: In the Second Battle of Mag Tuired, Ogma (one of the Túatha Dé Danann) captures Orna, the sword of a Fomorian king named Tethra. When Ogma takes it out of its sheath to clean it, the sword "told what had been done by it, because it was the habit of swords at that time to recount the deeds that had been done by them whenever they were unsheathed." The narration adds as an explanation that "demons used to speak from weapons" because weapons were objects of worship to the people of those times.

Nodwick
In one strip Yeagar is duelling some other adventurer, while both are armed with talking swords. Their weapons make small talk throughout the fight, completely ignoring what their wielders are doing with them...
In another story the group is plundering several intelligent weapons with personal agendas (a hammer that hates giantkind, a trident gunning for enemies of the sea, and a black sword that just likes to kill things) and, as usual, make Nodwick carry everything. When the party encounters enemies that fall into all three categories (giant-kin aligned with fire, specifically) the weapons push Nodwick into a raging frenzy and he goes to town on them.

In Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, Dante gets a pair of talking swords that he soon tells to shut up. Notable in that most of his weapons were former demons, but aren't too talkative; Agni and Rudra, however, started as swords. They remain silent because Dante told them to keep quiet, but their voices can be heard when using one of their more powerful combos, calling out "Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust".

Soul Eater:
Every weapon could count as this, seeing as they are humans who have taken a weapon form. Excalibur in particular is extremely talkative (FOOL!), though more of the Cloudcuckoolandery type, and he's usually only in sword form when being used or stored in the stone.
When Ragnarok is in its sword form, it fits nicely into this trope. Not only can Ragnarok speak, it has a mean scream attack.

2000 AD:
A variant occurs in Rogue Trooper. Genetic Infantrymen have their entire experience and personalities encoded onto "biochips" that can be removed when they die and attached to equipment — biochips are fully sentient, aware and have onboard voice synths so they can talk to the equipment holders and even operate various functions of the equipment. Rogue carries three pieces of equipment with implanted biochips from three of his fallen comrades — his helmet, rifle and backpack respectively. A large part of the strip is the interplay between the four of them.
Judge Dredd has Blaster Buddies, talking guns programmed to love violence and keep up the morale. Whenever one shows up, it's usually in the hands of some poor citizen it suckered into picking it up and making them shoot everyone around. They can also act independently.

Warbreaker: Nightblood is a sword that not only speaks (telepathically) nearly constantly, but is also something of a Deadpan Snarker. It also reads minds and seems to think any thought it picks up was directed at it. It has an unusual personality and something of a Blue-and-Orange Morality, because it was made to fight evil but its creator didn't consider that an inanimate object has at best a vague sense of right and wrong, and as a result is pretty constantly suggesting it's wielder to kill random people as they're probably evil. It does work somewhat, as evil people tend to kill themselves and their friends with it, while good people get sick and/or run away. It's since turned up in Roshar, the setting for Stormlight Archive, where it's wielded by one of the main characters and showing no signs of changing its distinctive personality.

Pathfinder: All artifact weapons are Empathic Weapons to some degree, but several go further into being full-on talking weapons.
The Jade Regent adventure path features Suishen, the ancestral katana of the Amatatsu dynasty, which is rumored to be inhabited by the spirit of the first Amatatsu scion and can speak both normally and through telepathy and is fiercely loyal to its royal line. By the time the PCs get to it, it's kept silent for fifty years after being sold for emergency funds during the Amatatsu's exile from Minkai (Suishen's own idea, incidentally), and has consequently developed a rather gruff and undiplomatic manner due to its self-imposed isolation.
The dragontooth spear of the Runelords of Sloth is intelligent and capable of speech, endlessly haranguing overly active wielders by critiquing their actions as impulsive and knee-jerk and suggesting that any given problem at hand would be best tackled through meticulous planning, preferably from a well-appointed and relaxing study.
Briar is a talking, telepathic bastard sword formed from a nymph queen's ability to love. It still resents the fey lords that did this, and consequently seeks to bring ruin to the creatures of the First World.

Dungeons & Dragons has rules for intelligent weapons, including how well they can communicate (e.g. starting with simple "empathy" and going all the way to full-blown telepathic powers)... as well as rules for conflicts of wills between weapon and wielder. The stock intelligent weapons described in the manual range all over the power and alignment spectrums... including one sword that is recommended for a deaf swordsman.
Intelligent weapons in other media based on D&D (R. A. Salvatore's Forgotten Realms novels, Baldur's Gate) tend to break some of these rules because, quite sensibly, they're more concerned with finding a wielder who'll suit their purposes than one who has the same alignment as the rules demand. Thus, Khazid'hea, though apparently evil and certainly not good, wants to be wielded by the greatest warrior, i.e. Drizzt Do'Urden (at first), who's Chaotic Good. Lilarcor, on the other hand, who seems to be Chaotic Neutral, doesn't refuse to be wielded by anyone because it just wants to kill things.
The rules in 3rd Edition noted that it isn't alignment per se that trigger conflicts of will between the weapon and the wielder, but rather the purpose of the weapon and the intentions of the wielder coming into conflict. Alignment just tends to be a fair guide to just how much risk there is for those two to diverge (and then they go on to contradict it by having an automatic negative level rule for wrong alignments...).
One book features an intelligent weapon with an unusual twist — it has two personalities, each with one head of the double axe and with different alignments (one Lawful Evil, the other Chaotic Evil). This means that it's easier to get into an ego conflict with the axe (since the personalities, while sharing basic purpose, had different priorities and perspectives) but also that unless you manage to tick off both personalities the full ego power of the weapon can't be brought against you.
La Notte Eterna, a 3rd party setting for D&D 5e: Among the things that players can find in fallen meteors are Yolandi the Sickle and Nindja the Sword, a pair of demon siblings who were bound into the forms of weapons long ago. Both retain the power of speech and their ancient lust for evil, and seek to manipulate their wielders into freeing and reuniting them.

The Borderlands series:
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!: The Boganella, which talks like a stereotypical Bogan (the Australian equivalent of a redneck or chav). The Claptastic Voyage DLC introduces a gun that's constantly shrieking "KILL" as you fire it, a laser that has Pickle's voice, and a shield that talks like Robin Williams.
Borderlands 2: There are a few of these:
If you take Loader #1340's AI core from "Out of Body Experience" to Marcus at the end of the quest, he'll install it in a shotgun that will provide commentary like "Nice one, boss!" when you kill an enemy, or "Why'd we stop shooting?" when you reload or if you aim down the sights ("Let's take a closer look."). Take it to Zed and he'll install it in an Absorb shield that warns you when he's fully charged ("Come at me.") or depleted ("Sorry boss! I'm gone!"), as well as trash talk any elemental Damage Over Time that isn't Shock, the main weakness of all shields).
The Morningstar sniper rifle, given to you by Hyperion (the MegaCorp owned by the Big Bad), constantly tries to guilt-trip you for killing people with it, a.k.a it has the "FPS Mod", which was made by project Ex-Kay Seedy.
The Bane is a gun that has annoying shrieks replacing the usual shooting sound effects.note  Also worth noting that you cannot silence it. Ever. Turning the game's sound effects and music down to zero will not quiet those LOUD NOISES.
The Commander Lilith DLC adds the Overcompensator from Tales from the Borderlands, only this time it now talks like a Surfer Dude. Another is the Hot Mama, a sniper rifle that speaks entirely in Double Entendres and moans when you score a Critical Hit.
Borderlands 3 introduces the Handsome Jackhammer and the Sellout:
The Handsome Jackhammer is a Hyperion-made SMG that, when reloaded, is thrown much like a Tediore weapon. It seems Rhys may have had a hand in its creation, as the weapon seems to have Jack's AI embedded in it.
The Sellout is a Maliwan pistol that is gained in a quest much like the "Kill Yourself" quest from Borderlands 2. When equipped, Tyreen Calypso will constantly make fun of the fact that you literally became a Sell-Out by killing yourself for a fancy gun.

In Noob, this turns out to be the case of Sourcelame, the sword that Arthéon and Kary were looking for during most of Season 4 from the webeseries and the skip between novels 3 and 4. And it has a mission for the player that ends up as it permanent possessor.

Intelligent weapons in other media based on D&D (R. A. Salvatore's Forgotten Realms novels, Baldur's Gate) tend to break some of these rules because, quite sensibly, they're more concerned with finding a wielder who'll suit their purposes than one who has the same alignment as the rules demand. Thus, Khazid'hea, though apparently evil and certainly not good, wants to be wielded by the greatest warrior, i.e. Drizzt Do'Urden (at first), who's Chaotic Good. Lilarcor, on the other hand, who seems to be Chaotic Neutral, doesn't refuse to be wielded by anyone because it just wants to kill things.

Keychain of Creation: Soulsteal swords are supposedly made of the forsaken souls of ghosts writhing in constant pain (see Exalted in the Tabletop Games folder), but somehow Secret's shapeshifting Cluivnarihe is instead a wise-cracking Jerkass who mocks Secret when nobody else is around to hear its (her?) disparaging comments. The one time Secret is attacked while alone and really needs her weapon, she realizes she left it in the cart to get away from the noise. Oops.

The Tough Guide to Fantasyland: It is not uncommon for swords to contain souls, either their own or someone else's that got caught inside them. These swords tend to be very old, very set in their ways, capable of telepathy, and prone to arguing at length with their wielder or offer unwanted advice at inopportune times.

In The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, the Master Sword is shown to be inhabited by a spirit named Fi which manifests itself in the form of a young girl. She frequently gives Link advice on how to proceed, and basically serves as his Exposition Fairy. Ghirahim is later revealed to be Demise's own talking weapon as well. Fi doesn't appear in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but Zelda mentions being able to hear her from within the sword giving her advice on how to proceed.

It's more than just a weapon, but the black ka'kari in The Night Angel Trilogy eventually becomes fairly talkative, and at one point, it refuses a command. Given that it chooses its own master and is supposedly highly intelligent, it seems fairly likely that it's the ka'kari which humors its owner rather than the other way around.

He's very much of a Jerkass Deadpan Snarker, regularly belittling his guardian, Sadlygrove, and even sometimes trying to possess him.

The climax of the Dark Knight chapter in Final Fantasy Dimensions reveals that Graham, the Guest-Star Party Member, is actually an empty suit of armor that is being controlled by a sword inhabited by Graham's soul. The boss battle breaks the enchantment that allows him to manipulate the armor, but he's still in the sword and remains as a kind of Spirit Advisor who continues to offer advice and commentary. (He also becomes an equippable weapon after this.)

Wraith: The Oblivion has the very disturbing soulforged weapons. Most ghosts believe the process of beating a soul into an inanimate object on an anvil destroys the victim's consciousness, but that's small comfort when that fancy new battle-axe starts weeping. Exalted uses the soulforging concept from Wraith, but dispenses with the comforting belief that the victims aren't still aware and screaming in agony forever.

In one episode of Mad Jack the Pirate Mad Jack and his crew, which consists entirely of an anthropomorphic rat that is several times more competent than his captain, are tasked with retrieving the Singeing sword in order to slay a monster so they can get something epically ridiculous, only after they retrieve it do they discover it is not a blazing sword, as was advertised on the wall of the temple from which they got the quest, but a singing sword, that is prone to talking as a Deadpan Snarker, but mostly singing. This results in hilarity for the viewers and annoyance for the characters.

Warhammer 40,000: Some Daemon weapons fit this trope. You do not want to listen to them. Unless you're evil, in which case listen away — many are full of sound advice. Some particularly powerful Daemon Weapons can exert limited Telekinesis. Abbadon's sword, for instance, once got him wounded by pulling him towards Eldrad — while he was impaled on Eldrad's force weapon.

The sword of Kullervo from the Finnish epic The Kalevala talks. The sword is not a chatterbox though; it speaks only once and then just before Kullervo is about to kill himself with it, making its point that it enjoys drinking blood regardless of whether it's innocent or guilty. Otherwise, the sword is unremarkable and unnamed.

Doctor Who. The Moment in "Day of the Doctor", an ultimate Time Lord weapon that became so advanced it gained sentience, thus no-one dared use it for fear it would turn on them. When the War Doctor activates it to stop the Time War by destroying both Time Lords and Daleks, it takes the form of future companion Rose Tyler in an attempt to convince the Doctor not to activate it.

The Muppet Babies acted out a fantasy Rags to Riches story where Piggy had to go on a quest to find a "Singing Sword", which never shut up until she shoved a sock in its mouth... and then wouldn't sing until she told it what song to sing.

Icewind Dale has a broad sword with the trapped spirit of a pessimist master thief, appropriately called Cynicism. Besides providing the wielder with thieving abilities, it randomly insults the wielder, which is why the weapon passed through so many owners. Sadly unlike its counsin Lilarcor, Cynicism is not voiced.

Teddy from Kamen Rider Den-O in his sword form. Not only does he speak, he has a very large, grinning mouth. Sort of like a Cheshire Cat if it were a sword.
Den-O also has the DenKamen Sword, through which the Taros can speak, and the Denebick Buster, which is Deneb turned into a energy machinegun and therefore The Gun That Speaks.
Later Den-O movies make this Kotaro (New Den-O)'s gimmick; rather than being possessed by the Taros, they turn into Weapons That Speak for him to wield. Episode Blue shows Urataros and Kintaros turning into a talking fishing rod and axe respectively, and Let's Go Kamen Rider adds the Momotasword to the mix.

The Star Trek: The Animated Series episode "The Slaver Weapon" has some rogue K'zinti capture the Federation away team, and seize their stasis box. Inside is a weapon that evidently belonged to an ancient Slaver. One setting lets the weapon converse with its handler. The K'zinti ask the weapon which is its most powerful setting, which the weapon answers, though this proves to be a Batman Gambit.

Beware of Chicken shows two of them.
Sunny, the Whirling Demon Blade, is intelligent, but traumatised by how it's been used, and mostly keeps quiet. After being turned into a plow, however, it eventually opens up and talks to the ox pulling it. Mostly they have conversations about cutting.
Summer's Sky is chattier, speaking directly into its wielder's mind to talk about itself and its abilities (such as absorbing electrical attacks). It's also much friendlier, and apparently quite cultured.

Torchlight contains the Sword of Adam as a rare unique drop and a Lethal Joke Weapon. Its stats are a mixture of useful and nonsensical. When swung the sword says random non-sequitors such as "Wizard!" and "Ssssoooo 3-D!" and "Hnnnarrnng!" Most probably an in-joke referring to one of the developers.

Dungeon Crawl :
There's a weapon attribute aptly described as "It makes noises.", which may be applied to any random artifact weapon, meaning you might find talking specimens of pretty much any kind of weapon present in the game. Any such weapon will cause noises at irregular intervals while wielded; most of these noises are recognizable speech. Far from being a harmless annoyance for the player, the noise also tends to alert nearby hostiles to the wielder's presence.
Crawl also has an artifact weapon called the Singing Sword. Unlike other noisy weapons, The Singing Sword is an Empathic Weapon with a personality. It regards itself as the true hero with you as its vessel, and the things it says depend upon the danger level of the current situation. When things are looking dire, the Sword starts screaming in bloody rage, dealing sonic damage to everything in sight.

The Cosmere: Several of these have popped up:
The Stormlight Archive: The living Shardblades, since they are actually a form that the Radiant's spren companion can assume. The dead Shards as well, though it's not so much talking as screaming in unspeakable agony.
Warbreaker: Nightblood is a sword that not only speaks (telepathically) nearly constantly, but is also something of a Deadpan Snarker. It also reads minds and seems to think any thought it picks up was directed at it. It has an unusual personality and something of a Blue-and-Orange Morality, because it was made to fight evil but its creator didn't consider that an inanimate object has at best a vague sense of right and wrong, and as a result is pretty constantly suggesting it's wielder to kill random people as they're probably evil. It does work somewhat, as evil people tend to kill themselves and their friends with it, while good people get sick and/or run away. It's since turned up in Roshar, the setting for Stormlight Archive, where it's wielded by one of the main characters and showing no signs of changing its distinctive personality.

One of the weapons of Ultraman Z, in his Delta Rise form, is the Beliarok, a tonfa with a bust of Ultraman Belial's head on its tip. The head can talk and snark constantly during combat, and verbally expresses his delight when it comes to slicing and devouring monsters during battles. In fact, right before Ultraman Z takes hold of the weapon, the Beliarok flat-out asks him, "Once you take hold of me, what will you do?"

FRAN in Stargate Atlantis is technically a Ridiculously Human Robot but crosses into this trope when McKay protests that she is the equivalent of a bullet or bomb and they shouldn't feel bad about using her as a weapon, even though she's self-aware. McKay quickly comes to regret giving her speech when she freaks even him out by being disturbingly cheerful about fulfilling her intended purpose by "dying."

A variant occurs in Rogue Trooper. Genetic Infantrymen have their entire experience and personalities encoded onto "biochips" that can be removed when they die and attached to equipment — biochips are fully sentient, aware and have onboard voice synths so they can talk to the equipment holders and even operate various functions of the equipment. Rogue carries three pieces of equipment with implanted biochips from three of his fallen comrades — his helmet, rifle and backpack respectively. A large part of the strip is the interplay between the four of them.
