The Resident Evil (known as Biohazard in Japan) franchise has spawned a massive variety of memes since its debut in 1996, ranging from the 'Jill Sandwich' line to the internet-breaking Lady Dimitrescu. These memes often capitalize on the series' unique blend of genuine horror and occasionally campy dialogue, as well as its iconic inventory management systems and character reactions. From the Merchant's catchy sales pitch in RE4 to the intense 'Welcome to the family' punch in RE7, the template captures the tension and absurdity of surviving a zombie outbreak. It is widely used to describe difficult life situations, questionable 'shady' deals, or simply to celebrate the legendary Capcom series.
