Resident Evil 7: 5 Funniest Quotes (& 5 That Were Utterly Horrifying)
All games have a goal with their lines of dialogue. They're always meant to have some kind of emotional impact on the audience. With romance, it's meant to make the lovebirds snuggle closer. With action, it's meant to make the adrenaline junkies cheer. And horror, that one's self-explanatory: make the audience scream in terror.
Of course, that's not to say every line will make the audience scream like Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, the seventh entry in the utterly terrifying survival horror game franchise that gave birth to a movie series that fell short of the mark that doesn't really deserve a reboot. With monsters lurking around every corner, the game has some truly horrifying lines mixed in with bits of dialogue that make the scaredy cats chuckle.
10 Funniest: "No... no, no don't come over here."
What's interesting about Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, a storyline that can definitely reboot the series, is that the players play more than one character. Throughout most of the game, Ethan is the main character but at key moments, the player gets to take over Mia.
In one instance, they control Mia as she hides from Marguerite, one of the most powerful monsters in the series, and leads into the fantastic line of Mia muttering "No, don't come over here." Truth be told, all gamers have muttered those words at least once during a horror game.
9 Horrifying: "Welcome to the family, son!"
Sometimes, horrifying moments can be attributed to the shock factor at hand for the player. After a long and brutal battle throughout the guest house as players took on Mia, they finally bested her, only for Mia to supposedly die.
As players are trying to process that, they're jumped scared by Jack Baker, one of the most difficult bosses in Resident Evil history who welcomes them to the family and sucker punches them. Taking into account what that family is and how quickly everything changes, players are left with a pretty solid scare and a brief yet terrifying quote.
8 Funniest: "Well don't just stand there. Do something!"
Lucas Baker is the biggest jerk and most annoying character from the game. All in all, Lucas, even without the virus inside him, was a psychotic A-hole who only got worse as the game progressed. That's not to say though that Lucas didn't have some good lines.
When Lucas grabs hold of Mia and drags her away from Ethan to his little funhouse, he tells Ethan to "Do something!" It's brief and yet it feels as if Lucas is breaking the fourth wall, telling players to not just stand there.
7 Horrifying: "I don't understand you at all. This is a gift."
Part of what makes Resident Evil 7: Biohazard so horrifying (beyond the gruesome body horror that is) is how the Baker family reacts. For most of the game, the families under Evie's control and as such, through her twisted lens, see everything as being alright.
That means that every twisted action, every brutal decision, they make is okay and if anything, as Marguerite says, is a gift that everyone else is foolish for rejecting. That on its own is a terrifying and horrific notion to imagine and witness.
6 Funniest: "Do me a favor and stay dead."
Wouldn't it be nice if gamers could talk to NPC's in the game? Like actually talk and communicate with them via voice chat. Of course, some of the words may not be appropriate but it would still be fun.
Even without voice chat, it feels like sometimes the characters are saying what's on the gamer's mind. When the player kills Jack for the second time, Ethan tells the dead body to stay dead. It's as if Ethan's communicating what's on the player's mind and that on its own is funny, although not as much as some of the Resident Evil movie memes out there.
5 Horrifying: "All I can say is that if you get this... STAY AWAY."
Emotions that come from words are without a doubt some of the heaviest hitting moments in a game, movie, or tv series. Delivering the right levels of terror can do wonders for the audience and set the stage for the story to come.
As such, when players first came across Mia in the form of a video sent to Ethan, they were taken aback by her insistence on Ethan staying as far away as possible. The fear in her voice set the tone for the rest of the game.
4 Funniest: "Okay... fine."
The most simple of comments can oftentimes be the most enjoyable. After getting brutally attacked by his infected wife and his hand chopped off, Ethan finds a gun, loads it with one hand, and simply says "Okay... fine."
Winters could've just said nothing but instead opted to grunt out the words "Okay fine" even as he was bleeding out. It's one of those stupid moments that manages to be absolutely hilarious and honestly would've worked as an amazing Resident Evil or Capcom meme.
3 Horrifying: "Do I have your attention, boy? You're about to see something wonderful."
It goes without saying that most of the game's best lines come from Jack Baker. Whether they be funny or terrifying, Jack always got something to say. So, after beating him for the first time by blowing him up, gamers believed Jack's time was up.
Of course, the words first time indicate something else as moments later, Jack rose up, grabbed hold of Ethan's gun, and told him to be ready before blowing his head off. To see someone blow their own brains out was a surprising and horrifying moment.
2 Funniest: "Zoe, get your *** back to the house!"
Even something like a horribly mutated beast can bring about the most comedic beats or lines of dialogue. After players kill Jack in the garage and later on in the basement, Jack once again returns, this time as a heavily mutated monster with dozens of eyes.

Despite this, Jack still gives audiences a humorous line by yelling at his daughter in a demonic voice to get her *** back in the house. It's honestly hilarious to see a hideous monster acting like a father, albeit a little disturbing too.
1 Horrifying: "They're mine now."
Spooky children make any game ten times scarier than it already was. Doesn't matter if they're only in it for a few seconds or have the main role. Children like Evelyn, the demonic virus, enhanced the villain of the game.
While Evelyn isn't at the forefront of the game entirely, the moments when she does pop up always have some freaky quote, such as in the DLC "Sisters," when she casually tells Zoe that her family is "mine now." The casual nature of the comment adds to Evelyn's horrifying nature.
