This week Jess McDonell explores the realm of awkward that is Resident Evil's voice acting and the memes that came with it.

This is what people think when they hear "Jill sandwitch"? I think of something far dirtier and naughty...

What do I think about the Jill Sandwich meme? I think you and I should discuss it over dinner ;)

Who else didn't have a memory card and memorized the first 20 minutes of Resident Evil 1? I did!
Do we think this meme is overrated? ALL memes are overrated. That's why they're called MEMES and not JOKES.

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!

@JBStone1981 you even hate on her when its not even her article? God you're a loser. I bet you were up all night thinking of that too.
talking about bad voice acting with her voice so quiet and barely understandable, how ironic

@corne1ius No, it would be ironic if she were acting poorly. (Or if you were making a video on how not to be a jerk.) But speaking volume is not equal to acting ability. Just FYI.

@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.
