For all the grimness of Resident Evil 5, there are still a few moments where one can't help but snicker.


Main campaign

  • A particularly cringeworthy funny moment in Resident Evil 5: during the first battle with Wesker, he may at certain points suddenly shout "Your future HINGES upon this fight!" and then literally kick you through a door.
    • Speaking of Wesker, the beginning of the second fight with him where he takes off his sunglasses and throws them at Chris, and Chris catches them with an epic WTF look on his face before Wesker shoulder checks him.
    • The moment you realize that one piece of the fight requires you to turn off the lights so he can't see you is liable to make for an amusing surprise.
  • When Chris and Sheva fight an Uroboros-infused Excella, Chris lampshades that he is in a giant monster movie, complete with dramatic music blaring in the background.
  • For a contest, someone made a Johnny Bravo soundpack for Wesker. You may never be able to take him seriously again.
  • When you're exploring the ship, you can actually stop by the bridge, where the captain's chair is. Interacting with it has Chris/Sheva sitting in it and saying something one wouldn't normally say given their situation, before stating that they need to get going.
    Chris: "Always wanted to be a captain, but now's not the time."
    Sheva: "What a comfy chair."
  • In the third part of Chapter 2-2, you find a port-a-potty just sitting there for no apparent reason. If you walk up to it, the two options you have are simply labelled "?". Pressing either button causes either you or your partner to knock on the door. As soon as you back away, the door opens up, revealing that a Majini was inside.
  • DLC gives us a few new costumes as well as new figurines to go along with them. When you manage to get the figurine for Chris' new "Warrior" outfit, well...
  • What's the achievement for knocking an arrow out of the air with your knife?
    Be the Knife
  • The cutscene just before the battle with U-8, when the lift Chris and Sheva are riding on suddenly comes to a stop. The annoyance in Chris' voice as he points his weapon at the still-offscreen B.O.W. is almost palpable:
    Sheva: "...Why did it stop?"
    Chris: "Oh, that's why."
  • Likely unintentional , but many players found that failing to press Sheva's quick-time prompt during the plane showdown with Wesker, resulting in Wesker snapping Chris's neck while flipping over his head as he goes for the plane over-ride lever, to be hilarious.
  • There's a part during the Final Boss battle with Wesker where Chris punches a boulder with his bare hands. That part became meme worthy.
  • "COMPLETE. GLOBAL. PENETRATION!"
  • During the Final Battle with Wesker on the volcano:
    Wesker: The human race requires judgment!
    Chris: And you're going to judge us? Do you get all your ideas from comic book villains?
  • "You will give me an egg!" Proving, once again, that eggs go great with ham.

Lost in Nightmares DLC

  • As Chris and Jill practically retrace their steps in this version of the Spencer estate, they have to repeat some of the same puzzle solving, such as getting a crank.
    Chris: (if he's the one turning the crank) What is with this guy and cranks?

The Mercenaries/The Mercenaries Reunion/The Mercenaries United mode

  • Speaking of ham, Barry Burton makes his return in the Mercenaries Reunion mode and brings along some of his iconic lines from the first Resident Evil when using his melee moves against the Majini. Seeing Barry execute a zombie on the ground while shouting "WHAT IS THIS?" for no reason is enough to make him one of the most fun new additions to the game mode.
  • Rebecca Chambers also returns alongside Barry, armed to the teeth with one of the best loadouts on the roster with powerful weapons and multiple healing items at her disposal. Once you look at her melee moves, however, she goes from badass to hilarious and straight up adorable, having one particular move called the Rump Shaker where she jumps at a Majini and slams her ass against them.
