If you thought he was bad in the games, you've seen nothing.
A series of musicals about Resident Evil, created by ShadowLeggy, consisting of a popular song being played to a synced series of of comedic sketches. Occasionally also features "in a nutshell" summaries of various Resident Evil works. Resident Evil: Survivor, a Spinoff by the same author has also returned from a three year hiatus, simultaneously parodying almost all Resident Evil characters and the Survivor reality TV shows.

Tropes Present

  • Affectionate Parody: Of the original games before Resident Evil 4.
  • Art Evolution: From stick figures to full cartoons.
  • Art Shift: In some musicals, specially on scenes that are supposed to be romantic, the art style will go from default to Animesque for a few seconds.
  • The Cameo: Cheryl and Heather from Silent Hill show up on two different RE musicals.
  • Everything Is Racist: Sheva has managed to force her way into the show by claiming it was racist as hell, as it only featured white people, while freely ignoring Ada, Luis and Carlos. Doubles as a Take That! to Social Justice Warriors and Tumblr, which is where Sheva got her signatures from.
  • Fauxreigner: Carlos is treated like this due to his (lack of) accent.
  • Gorn: About as much as Resident Evil, at any rate.
  • G-Rated Drug: It's not called the G-virus for nothing.
  • Mind-Control Device: Leggy used one on Carlos in an attempt to get him and Ashley together.
  • Playful Cat Smile: Wesker gives out a catlike-grin whenever he's up to something.
  • Real Life Writes the Plot: The author's series Teh Stream is an Affectionate Parody of events that have happened to her while she was on her first days of internet fame.
  • Take That!: Many examples.
    • The Teh Stream series has a number of targets of this, mainly involving G.I.F.T's and Social Justice Warriors.
    • There are some videos in which the author expresses her hatred towards the newer games, these videos consist of her curb-stomping the main cast of these games into oblivion while triumphant music plays on the background. No Hope Left even has a segment where the author laments about how CAPCOM has turned the franchise into crap at the expense of their fans to get money from the Call of Duty audience.
    • One scene from the 6th episode of Survivor has the cast complaining about the author adding more characters to the mix and not caring about her old ones. She justifies their treatment by claiming she has learned with the best (CAPCOM).
  • Too Dumb to Live: Every single character, but special mention go to:
    • Chris, over the fact he picks a knife over a gun in his scenario.
    • Leon, who only ever pays attention to Ada and nothing else.
    • Ada, who can't control herself and tell everyone her real name.
  • Valley Girl: Gender-inverted with Alfred in Survivor.
