* "Detrás de ti, imbecil!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the Las Plagas hosts' quotes upon attacking the player on sight which translates to "Right behind you, fool!" in Spanish. Spanish fans intentionally misspell the word "Imbecil" [[/labelnote]]
** "Detrás de ti, [[MisplacedAccent imbesil!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Spanish fans intentionally misspell the word "Imbecil" with an /s/ due to the seseo on the /c/.[[/labelnote]]

[[caption-width-right:350:No thanks, bro.]]

* Redfieldposting[=/=]Chrisposting[=/=]FUCK MY SISTER, LEON![[labelnote:Explanation]]A joke where Chris is a massive Leon x Claire ShipperOnDeck, and is (often forcefully) trying to get Leon to date his sister and "continue the Redfield bloodline". The large amounts of ShipTease the two receive here that canonically doesn't seem to go anywhere in future entries certainly helps. It also serves as an effective LampshadeHanging of the NoHuggingNoKissing nature of the main characters, who have never settled down despite twenty years of adventures. Thanks to the recent surge of shipping wars among "Leon x Ada" and "Leon x Claire" shippers with the release of the remake, a [[https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1458555-chris-redfield bizarre]] shitpost starts appearing from [[Website/FourChan [=/v/=]]] posing as Chris Redfield, specifically BSAA Chris, urging Leon (as the character Leon) to conceive with his sister and continue the Redfield bloodline, often done in a more violent manner, including threatening to kill Ada. [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/458/253/d3e.png The]] [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/458/975/491.jpg posts]] [[https://i.pinimg.com/736x/11/a6/52/11a652d9d1646f46e96a5151bed9cd87.jpg spread]] [[https://memestatic.fjcdn.com/pictures/Super+chris+redfield+comp_8c7e0d_6940094.jpg throughout]] [[https://i.redd.it/hxbt3p51wye21.jpg dedicated]] [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/463/680/a02.png Resident]] [[https://memestatic.fjcdn.com/pictures/Super+chris+redfield+comp_1dcafd_6940094.jpg Evil]] shitposting communities on Reddit, Facebook, etc., with [[https://ci.memecdn.com/11727122.jpg variants]] [[https://memestatic1.fjcdn.com/comments/The+re+cast+is+getting+up+there+in+years+and+_241575296c536625943a6841001afa30.jpg starting]] [[https://i.redd.it/42riwelrwc031.png to]] [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/458/618/251.png spread]].[[/labelnote]]

** [[spoiler:Blue Umbrella Chrisposting]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Another [[https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2031897536898072&set=gm.286939958665051&type=3&theater notable variant]] of [[https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2032073330213826&set=gm.286998741992506&type=3&theater the meme,]] but instead, it's an inversion where the new Chris seen in ''Resident Evil 7'' is a nicer guy that is happy to let Leon chase Ada instead of forcing him to conceive with Claire. As of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage'', however, people have joked that he's turned his wrath on Ethan instead. And regarding the ending, there's jokes about Chris turning back to Leon after the latter has "failed to continue the bloodline."[[/labelnote]]
** Leon S. [[RhymesOnADime "If it's not Wong, it's wrong/Only has dong for Ada Wong"]] Kennedy.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Copy-pasted rhyming quotes that counter the "Chrisposting" memes, commonly used by the Leon x Ada shippers.[[/labelnote]]
* Claireposting[[labelnote:Explanation]]The distaff counterpart of Chrisposting, where Claire begs Jill Valentine to get with Chris in order to stop him ranting to her and Leon about continuing the Redfield legacy.[[/labelnote]]
* Jillposting[[labelnote:Explanation]]Alternatively, Jill hitting on Chris and being completely receptive to Claireposting, and the only reason why Chris won't pursue her is either because he is sterile from years of steroid abuse, insists that they are both PlatonicLifePartners, or is too busy trying to hook Leon/Ethan up with Claire to properly notice her advances.[[/labelnote]]
* MY EXTRACTION POINT![[labelnote:Explanation]]Stated by HUNK at the start of the 4th Survivor, people have started making memes about HUNK being obsessed with his extraction point and nothing else.

* [[https://youtu.be/ZcW6W-xVl-8 WE DO IT!]] [[note]]In Yoshiaki Hirabyashi's video thanking fans for their passion in getting ''Resident Evil 2'' a remake and confirming that it had been approved for development, he pulls back his vest to reveal a shirt printed with broken English expressing excitement over the success of the endeavor. Fans quickly latched on to the genuine enthusiasm he showed during the video and "WE DO IT!" became a rallying cry among the fanbase.[[/note]]

* Basketball player Rebecca. [[labelnote:Explanation]] If you searched Wesker's table a sufficient amount of times (50 in the original, 3 times in the remake) you'd get a canister of film which you could develop to get... well, a picture of Rebecca in a green RPD sports bra, matching shorts and sneakers holding a basketball. While the photo itself is just plain {{Fanservice}}, a meme started growing around the photo: why would Wesker hold this in a table? Many explanations were given, some saying Rebecca was close to Wesker, the others going down a more [[{{Squick}} unsavoury route]]. Became an AscendedMeme in [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil0 the Resident Evil 0 remaster]] where you could actually get this outfit for Rebecca to wear.[[/labelnote]]

** [[AccidentalMisnaming "LOOOUUUUUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSS!!!!!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]His name's Luis, pronounced "Luh-eees."[[/labelnote]]

* Tramp Stamp Leon[[labelnote:Explanation (Mildly NSFW)]]Leon is famously a MrFanservice, and a [[https://maykitz.tumblr.com/post/670376464991076352/btw-if-any-of-you-wish-to-use-the-leon-slut fan-made mod]] of Leon that edits his outfit to be a lot more {{Stripperiffic}} in conjunction with the more widespread "[[BrainlessBeauty himbo]]" meme (of which Leon was commonly cited as an example) became infamous as an example of the hilarious power modders can wield over an ostensibly-serious game, with fans drawing tons of fanart of it as well as wishing for a version of it to be made for the [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil4Remake remake]] as well. Sure enough, [[https://www.nexusmods.com/residentevil42023/mods/138 one was made]] within days of release.[[/labelnote]]

* [[SchmuckBait If you shoot the lake a few times, a secret treasure appears.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]In both the original and the remake, shooting the lake three to five times before the Del Lago fight causes Del Lago to emerge and devour Leon in one gulp. In the leadup to the remake's release, players would instead claim you'd get some sort of prize for shooting the lake, likely a result of ''[=RE4=]'' vets trolling new players.[[/labelnote]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zA-SCicdgc Leon falling to the ground]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Since 2022, a clip of Leon falling to the cabin's ground after coughing some blood (due to being injected with the Plagas parasite) had its audio modified into bass-boosted moaning (derived from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PevJGDQB_zI another clip]]), and became viral as a reaction meme to anything that evokes shock and disbelief, amongst other uses. Some also created [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rmcNf6_s2E a version]] of it from the [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil4Remake remake]], while ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' fans [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyZ3Yb9jRdg modded Dante in place of Leon]] to have their own version as well.[[/labelnote]]

* Chris has had [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xuXkVzBdJQ ENOUGH OF YOUR BULLSHIT, BOULDER.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]During the final {{Quick Time Event}}s of the game, Chris has to move a boulder to help Sheva escape Wesker after the duo get separated. His desperation to do it as fast as possible and his sheer frustration over it not budging culimates in him ''punching the boulder'' with his bare hands to try and shove it harder. Ever since, it's become a case of NeverLiveItDown for him as people make fun of how TestosteronePoisoning must be in effect for him.[[/labelnote]]
* FOOTBAAALLLLLLL! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A running gag in LetsPlay/ProtonJon's and LetsPlay/SuperJeenius's Let's Play of the game in which Chris is a football player.[[/labelnote]]

* [[TakeAThirdOption Leave Ethan]].[[labelnote:Explanation (spoiler warning)]]A third joke option that consists of abandoning Ethan, with Mia and Zoe leaving the Baker residence with Mia cured. Then again, Zoe would still get saved by Blue Umbrella and Joe Baker, which makes the abandonment more reasonable.[[/labelnote]]

** MILF: Resident Evil [[labelnote:explanation]]While the joke doesn't translate well into wiki format, the community have taken to stylizing the LogoJoke of the Roman numeral VIII showing up in "MILF"[[/labelnote]]

** 2.9m / 9'6"[[labelnote:Explanation]]In response to her popularity in the West and East, the game's art director Tomonori Takano [[https://twitter.com/RE_Games/status/1356391885816823808?s=20 revealed]] that Lady Dimitrescu (accounting for her heels and hat) [[StatuesqueStunner is approximately 2.9m / 9'6" tall]].[[/labelnote]]
*** Lady Dimitrescu is a Tyrant.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Comparisons between Lady Dimitrescu and various Tyrants (especially Mr. X and Nemesis) popped up after the reveal of her height, with WMG about her being the PredecessorVillain of the Tyrant projects.[[/labelnote]]

*** Jackpot![[labelnote:Explanation]]As expected for the series, Lady Dimitrescu eventually transforms from "Vampire Mommy" into a [[OneWingedAngel more powerful and monstrous form]]. Some found this revelation FetishRetardant; others, naturally, were undeterred. The original line comes from ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'', after a girl Brad hits on at a carnival transforms into a monster with NestedMouths.[[/labelnote]]

* Lady Dimitrescu: Vampire Streamer[[labelnote:Explanation]]One picture of Lady Dimitrescu during her call with Mother Miranda has been angled in Photograph mode and then photoshopped to make her look like she's a [=YouTube=] or Twitch streamer who has to deal with perverted fans and trolls, especially if that troll is [[SitcomArchNemesis Heisenberg]].[[/labelnote]]

* Motherfucker Miranda.[[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]With Mother Miranda being revealed as the true mastermind behind the events [[GreaterScopeVillain (and the entire franchise)]], [[SophisticatedAsHell calling her with the added "Motherfucker" prefix]] has just become more appropriate, considering [[SirSwearsALot Ethan swears a lot]].[[/labelnote]]
* '''''B I T C H.''''' [[labelnote:Explanation]] Heisenberg almost exclusively refers to both Dimitrescu and Miranda by calling them bitches during the segment in his factory, including one very satisfying line-read when he's explaining his plans to Ethan. [=YTP=] creator [=FrozenCereal=], following [[https://youtu.be/gsogUGeiGY8?t=41 making a poop of RE8]], made that one clip a RunningGag in all his later videos.[[/labelnote]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEBsl4MoKus Mass Production?]] '''''RIDICULOUS!!!''''' [[labelnote:explanation]]Shouted by Greg in the intro for the final level of the first ''Outbreak''. When played online, it was common tradition not to skip the cutscene until after this line had played.[[/labelnote]]

* Vampire Mommy [[labelnote:Explanation]]The reveal of Lady Dimitrescu had some... interesting reactions with the fanbase, most reacting to [[EvilIsSexy her stunning looks]] and... prominent chest. The name of "[[FanNickname Vampire Mommy]]" comes from her white clothes, pale skin, black hat, and vampire-like abilities making her come across as the closest thing to a ClassicalMovieVampire in the ''RE'' series, and you can probably guess where "mommy" comes from. Also, this resulted into [[https://twitter.com/kellysketches/status/1352755541831864320 rather amusing]] [[https://twitter.com/TheKateMoose/status/1353405014371401728 memes]] [[https://twitter.com/sethklokk/status/1351547196269875202?s=21 and comparisons]] with [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2Remake Tyrant/Mr. X,]] including [[https://twitter.com/ItsGreliz/status/1353136912345796608 this one]] which CrossesTheLineTwice.[[/labelnote]]
