Troper, here's a keyboard. It might be handy if you, the master of typing, could add some scary memes here.
Please add entries in the following format:
- The meme. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The explanation behind the meme, if necessary.[[/labelnote]] Explanation Like this.
- Further mutations and successor memes, if any.
- Thanks to the atrocious voice acting in Resident Evil, we know that not only is Jill "the master of unlocking," but she almost became a Jill sandwich, too. As of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Project X Zone, both are ascended memes.
- "STOP IT! Don't-open-THAT-door!" Explanation Jill's story starts off with her wanting to go back outside into the Cerberus-infested forest to look for Chris, but Wesker rather stiltedly tells her not to.
- ...Yeah...? Explanation Enrico's rather casual response to Jill asking about him being in the caves despite him being quite wounded
- Did you know weapons are especially powerful against living things? Explanation When Barry Burton meets up with Jill and gives her a set of acid grenades, he describes them as a weapon which is "very powerful against living things". Funny enough, this was an actual hint about the acid grenades being more useful against monsters like Hunters or Yawn. This got changed to the slightly less narmy description of being "a can of fizz" that can "yellow and mellow" monsters in the remake.
- And that it looks like Forest was killed by a crow... or something. Oh my cod. Explanation Barry's accented commentary on the corpse of Forest.
- "WHAT. What is this?" Explanation Barry asks this quite often.
- "What is it?" Explanation Jill asks this one quite a lot as well.
- "Blood. Jill, see if you can find any other clues, I'll be examining this. Hope this is not CHRIS'S blood." Explanation Barry's line upon finding the bloodstain in the dining hall.
- "Looks like we got to the root of the problem." Explanation Chris's Incredibly Lame Pun after poisoning and defeating Plant 42.
- "I have THIS!" Explanation After handing over the acid grenades to Jill, Barry proudly flourishes his Colt and says this when she asks if he'll be alright. This, again, got a slightly less narmy but less memetic revamp to "I like the buddy system we have here".
- What a MANSION! Explanation In the original game's Jill opening, Wesker makes this amazed-sounding comment of almost childlike wonder on the mansion.
- 4// Itchy. Tasty. Explanation The last line from particularly infamous Apocalyptic Log from RE, documenting the writer's infection with the T-virus ending with his killing and eating his friend. After reading the journal, the zombified author bursts out of the closet right next to you.
- Albert Wesker wears his sunglasses at night.
- Resident Evil: Director's Cut: DualShock OST - Mansion Basement
Explanation A song in the Director's Cut DualShock version of Resident Evil. It's considered universally to be one of the worst songs in video game history, and is frequently described as things like "a mob of farting clowns", "the theme of a depressed drunk guy stumbling down the street", or "an angry trombone argument". It was so bad that it circled back around to So Bad, It's Good, and it became a source of comedy when juxtaposed with the game itself.
- No matter how many times you play through RE2, Ada will never respond with "Do I look like a waiter?"Explanation Throughout Leon's scenarios when teaming up with Ada, she will frequently run off on her own and Len will inevitably shout "Ada, wait!"
- "When is the remake finally being released?" Explanation Capcom announced in 2015 they are working on a remake of Resident Evil 2. Whenever a new game or DLC is released, people always ask this question regardless of it being unrelated to the remake.
- The answer, incidentally, turned out to be "January 25, 2019."
- Mr. X Gon' Give It To Ya Explanation The remake version of Mr. X is quickly shaping up to be a legitimately terrifying enemy that relentlessly hunts you down and cannot die no matter how much you try to kill him. Instances like these quickly turned into memes. Interestingly enough, DMX himself was released from a one-year imprisonment (due to tax evasion charges) on the same day as the game's release.
- Redfieldposting/PLEASE CONCEIVE WITH MY SISTER, LEON!Explanation Thanks to the recent surge of shipping wars among "Leon x Ada" and "Leon x Claire" shippers with the release of the remake, a bizarre shitpost starts appearing from /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 Ada to death. The◊ posts◊ spread◊ throughout◊ dedicated◊ Resident◊ Evil◊ shitposting community on Reddit, Facebook etc with variants◊ starting◊ to◊ spread◊ .
- YouTube has several videos and two songs about the Redfield bloodline.
- Modders were quick to turn Mr. X into Chris due to the meme's prevalence.
- Blue Umbrella ChrispostingExplanation Another notable variant of the said meme, but instead it's an inversion where the new Chris from the 7th game DLC actually respects Leon decision to chase over Ada instead of forcing him to conceive with Claire. .
- MY EXTRACTION POINT!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.
- Okay.Explanation Stated by Leon when Claire introduces Sherry to him, the rather overly casual line delivery amused people greatly.
- Brad Vickers is a chicken. Explanation Brad's been referred to as "Chickenheart" by the fandom ever since abandoning the team in the first game
- CORRI, SCAPPA, C'E' IL NEMESIIIS!!! Explanation take this italian kid's lenghty Freak Out! during an encounter with the eponymous monster, mix with Japanese techno song (the same that spawned the "am I waiting on an X" fad) and sprinkle with a silly animation. Serve cold. (By the way, it means "RUN, ESCAPE, IT'S THE NEMESIIIS!")
- "HULLO, STRANGEAH." Explanation The merchant's infamously accented lines whenever you interact with him. He is so memetic that literally every single quote in his 1 minute and 43 seconds worth of quotes is a meme. No exceptions.
- "WELCUHM!"
- "WOT'RE YEH BOYIN'?"
- "WOT'RE YEH SELLAN'?"
- "NOT ENUFF CASH! STRANGAH."
- "OY'LL BOY IT AT A HOY PROYCE!"
- "Heh heh heh, thank yew!" and most variations of his distinctive laugh.
- "Strangah, strangah! Now thet's a weaphun!"
- "Saddler you're small time." Explanation Anything Leon says in RE4 is ripe with memetic potential. Funnily enough, Leon and the Merchant are both voiced by Paul Mercier.
- "You're (sic) right hand comes off?" Explanation Leon's poor attempt at a sarcastic comeback after Salazar boasts he's sent his "right hand" (a Verdugo) to catch Leon. Made notorious because the captions misspelled it, as seen here.
- "No thanks, BRO!" Explanation the first time Salazar introduces himself to Leon and Ashley, he refers to them as his "brethrens" with Leon replying with this line.
- "MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKKEEEEEEE!!!!!" Explanation Mike is a helicopter pilot that assists the HELL out of Leon near the endgame, only to get shot down afterward. Leon's response to the death of a pilot he barely knew a minute is a heartbreaking cry and a vow of revenge.
- "LOOOUUUUUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSS!!!!!" Explanation His name's Luis, pronounced "Luh-eees."
- "Hey, it's that dog!" Explanation If you rescue a dog caught in a foot trap early in the game, it shows up to help you kill El Gigante soon after, to Leon's amazement.
- "Where's everyone going? Bingo?" Explanation Leon's snarky quip after the entire village of Ganados suddenly stops its attack on him and runs off to the church when its bells start ringing.
- "Ada, wait!"
- "Meeeeester Kennedy!"
- NO MORE MEMES!! KILL HIM! Explanation Or anything Salazar says
- LEEEOOOOON!!! HYYYYYEEEEEEEELPPPPP... Explanation Ashley has one of the most annoying voices in gaming history, moreso if she needs help.
- Leon has a flashlight on his belt.
- I see that the President has equipped his daughter with ballistics! Explanation Luis greets Ashley with this loud crack about her Gag Boobs. Referenced in the achievements of the remastered re-release, where rescuing Ashley grants the achievement "Secured the Ballistics".
- NO WAY FAG Explanation Spawned from this drawing by PlagueofGripes (Warning,very NSFW), parodying the ending wherein Leon rejects Ashley's sexual advances, despite the game emphasizing her feminine qualities multiple times.
- "...ensuring complete. Global. Saturation." Explanation Many of Wesker's lines in RE5 are memorable to a lot of fans.
- "...with Uroboros..."
- Albert Wesker has the right to have the right to have the right to have the right to be a god.
- 7 Minutes. 7 Minutes is all he can spare to play with you. Explanation Comes from a timed boss fight late in the game where Chris and Sheva run into Wesker and brainwashed Jill, with Wesker declaring that he's only got 7 minutes to fight the duo. Most players can only run the timer down, but more well-equipped ones can and will knock Wesker out well before the time is up.
- "... Complete. Global. CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSS!!!!!" Explanation Wesker only gets emotional when screaming Chris' name. It only gets hammier and happens more frequently near the finale of the game.
- FAR TOO LONG
- "...I need an egg."
- Chris has had ENOUGH OF YOUR BULLSHIT, BOULDER. Explanation Chris can attack and punch boulders in the game.
- FOOTBAAALLLLLLL! Explanation A running gag in ProtonJon's and Super Jeenius's Let's Play of the game in which Chris is a football player.
- "You will GIVE me an egg!" Explanation In multiplayer matches, Wesker will arrogantly demand any type of weapon from another player, as opposed to every other character politely asking for one. This extends to RE5's Joke Weapon, rotten eggs. Popularized by ProtonJon's Twitch streams.
- Billy Coen can fit a grenade launcher in his pants. Explanation Said by Billy himself in RE0.
- Mass Production? RIDICULOUS!!! 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.
