The 'Master of Unlocking' is a classic meme originating from the 1996 PlayStation game Resident Evil. The line is delivered by the character Barry Burton when he gives protagonist Jill Valentine a lockpick, stating, 'You, the master of unlocking!' The phrase became internet famous due to its awkward delivery and the unintentionally hilarious voice acting prevalent in early 3D gaming. It is frequently used to highlight moments of extreme sarcasm, specifically when someone performs a very basic or obvious task, and remains one of the most quoted lines in video game history alongside the 'Jill Sandwich' incident.
