Why does she sound like she's gargling marbles?! Did Carolyn Petit punch her in the throat before they filmed this?? It's like listening to a cassette just before the batteries on your Walkman die!
talking about bad voice acting with her voice so quiet and barely understandable, how ironic

@corne1ius English is not even my native language, and I understand her pretty well.
I think "A winner is you" from old classic memes haven't been described yet. "Will it run Crysis?" and "Giant enemy crab" for more recent ones.
man remember when he holds out his gun and says "I have..... this!"
So cheesy, so awesome. I miss those days.
jess mcdonell sounds a little like jill,,kidding;p;),,best cutscenes re-evil when u did like it was a on a show,,it wasnt funny;)
How about the hitman meme? http://www.memecenter.com/fun/950805/nobody-will-notice
Seriously gamespot, you are way back with the game memes. There are tons out there and you pick only the old ones.
@toderascu23 We've done Skyrim and Heavy Rain - those are pretty new - but I'll check this one out!
I have no idea why these two lines were singled out from the entire game's script or why its even funny to begin with...

@Double_Wide I have an idea why you have no idea. because you have no idea about RE?
The "master of unlocking" line stuck with me the most. It was so early in the game, and it's the cheesiest line ever written anywhere. I never really knew the "Jill sandwich" thing was a big deal though, go figure. Oh, "Bimmy and Jimmy Lee" from Double Dragon 3 on the NES. The FIRST word on the screen when you turn on the game is MISSPELLED, HA!

Valve should put this in the Team Fortress 2!!!also why all the way back to PS 1 version? the game cube remake was great!
There was something magical when you played RE1 and looked over at your friend when they said "master of unlocking" and "jill sandwich" . For a moment, all the fear and tense atmosphere melted into laughter. I'm sure I'm not the only one here with that memory.
Noticing a lot of "new" faces after the new year. Maybe I just didn't see them before, but keep up the good work anyways Gamespot!

It's funny how cheesy the dialogue from some of the "classics" are now.
BTW Jess, I love your accent.
omg Jill sandwich lol.. what were they thinking, the acting is soo bad..
btw I like Jess' voice..
what is wrong with the "master of unlocking" quote? does it mean something funny or it's just the horrible delivery of the voice?
@LinsnowX The full line is "Oh and Jill, heres a lockpick! It might help if, YOU, the MASTER of unlocking take it with you."
Its just pure cheese!
@LinsnowX I also don't get the popularity of this quote. What would have been better? To say that she was a master AT unlocking things or what?
@Jarlathazzard @LinsnowX Yeah weird delivery, it's just something that's unnecessary to say. Sooo funny though.
@Jarlathazzard @LinsnowX It just sounds kind of odd. He says, "YOU, the master of unlocking" as if it's a title she earned for opening 500 chests. I half expect the name Jill to be floating over her head with The Master of Unlocking title being displayed beneath it.
I have trouble imagining someone speaking that way unless out of humor. Normally they would just say she's good at lock picking or something.
@4nationfury @Jarlathazzard @LinsnowX Yep, that's it. It's the weird delivery.
oh good i missed old jill valentine :((
but i will see her again in resident evil revelations :))

That clip of Resident Evil 1 with the laugh track was hilarious. I forget how cheesy the dialogue was.
Voice acting sure has improved over the years.
