Memes / Resident Evil Village

• Continuing from RE2R, Chrisposting has made a grand return. Within an hour of the trailer's release, memes began circulating that due to Chris supposedly executing Mia, he's making Ethan "continue the Redfield bloodline" rather than Leon.
• It's been joked that Chris regrets getting Ethan roped into events that instead of leading him to his sister Claire, leaves him in the clutches of Lady Dimitrescu.
• Chris showing up in the trailer with his old physique, looking like a human refrigerator with a big, boxy coat to match, prompted more than a few jokes, as well as comparisons to Kingpin and Luther.
• Pretty much anything about people finding Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters hot and other people reacting to said reactions. She became a Fountain of Memes right out of the gates.
  • Big tiddy vampire lady.
  • Death by snu snu.
  • "Step on me."
  • "Yes mommy."
  • Dimitrescu is a thicc MILF, and her daughters are goth girlfriends, all fitting into unashamedly, memetically known fetishes.
  • MILF: Resident Evil ^explanationWhile the joke doesn't translate well into wiki format, the community have taken to stylizing the Logo Joke of the Roman numeral VIII showing up in "MILF"
  • The only horror game where you WANT to get caught by the monster.
  • "Oh no don't chase me oh noooo haha", "Joke's on you i'm into that shit", and so on.
  • That's a HUGE bitch!
  • 2.9m / 9'6"^ExplanationIn response to her popularity in the West and East, the game's art director Tomonori Takano revealed that Lady Dimitrescu (accounting for her heels and hat) is approximately 2.9m / 9'6" tall.
  • The player, the entire time: "The big woman still here?" ^ExplanationIn Game of Thrones, Tormund Giantsbane (who utters this line) has a big crush on Brienne of Tarth, partly because she's the tallest human woman he's met (Gwendoline Christie is 6 ft 3 in / 1.91 meter tall). He also apparently has some intimate history with giantesses.
  • "YOU SHOULD PLAY FOR THE NBA!"
  • "I wanna go on that ride!" "Me too, son!"
  • "Well well, Ethan Turner! You escaped my little brother's idiot games, did you?" "Lady Dimmatrescu? Owner of the Castle Dimmatrescu?" "That's right!"
  • "Need me a hot vampire girl harem." "What?" "You know, like, eight-foot-tall mommy vampire girlfriend to kill me." "Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?"
• Dimitrescu getting a phone call from someone and putting a totally unrelated character talking to her on the other line, often playing on her displeased facial expression as a punchline.
  • In a somewhat similar vein, due to this scene basically having Ethan eavesdrop on her through the window, has also led to some totally unrelated characters spying through the window instead.
• Castle Dimitrescu being referred to as "The Dimitrescu Dimmadome".
• Ethan's multiple Fingore moments, carrying over from 7, have led to a lot of hand jokes and how little his injuries actually matter. His perceived himboism has even led some to joke how he'll do basically anything without safety gloves.
• Many have taken to joking that Chris' section is actually a Call of Duty game. It doesn't help that the beginning of that section opens up almost exactly like the prologue mission of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), observing a burning battlefield from a forested ridge.
• One of the villains being named Heisenberg inevitably led to a bunch of Breaking Bad jokes.
• Among Latin America fans and communities, comparing Heisenberg with popular YouTuber Dross Rotzank has become a recurring joke due to their similar◊ appearances◊.
• Also, there are few jokes involving both the giant baby-like monster and the American rapper Jonathan Lyndale Kirk AKA "DaBaby", especially when joking that the abomination itself was the result of "not turning into a convertible".
• Senchou/Marine Doll: Fans of Hololive have noted a startling similarity between the JP voice of Angie (Lady Beniviento's doll) and that of Houshou Marine, to the point her trademark "Ahoy!" greeting gets spammed in any chat during the House Beniviento boss fight. Marine became aware of this during a collab stream with Noel and Flare, and proceeded to do a pretty convincing imitation.
• Fans joking that Donna Beneviento is a fan of popular toy brands such as LEGO and Transformers.
• How are you still alive!? ^ExplanationNumerous fans noticed the sheer amount of punishment Ethan takes throughout the entire game, and the improbability of him still being alive since he has most of his left hand eaten, his palms torn, gets shot, stabbed, mauled, and falls from great heights several times without bracing himself. This is even discounting injuries he can sustain during gameplay. This makes it a Captain Obvious Reveal how he's a Mold mutant like the Bakers, though also a Hilarious in Hindsight reaction, since he actually wasn't alive for all of that abuse, being a Revenant Zombie fueled with pure Heroic Willpower.
