Resident Evil Requiem best boy Leon Kennedy is known for his immaculate hairline, perfectly executed roundhouse kicks, and funny, funny jokes. Whether he's being chased by a giant crocodile or wrestling with a Licker, he's never too scared to bust out a dad joke or two. Genuinely, one of my favorite things about Resident Evil is the way it balances some of the scariest horror gameplay I've ever experienced with high-octane action and, in Leon's case, plenty of cheese.
Now, have you ever wondered what sorts of things Leon would say if he were thrust in the world of another popular game? No? Me neither, but apparently lots of people who use Resetera have wondered exactly that, and some of the quips they've imagined him saying are funny enough that I wanted to share them with you on this fine Friday.
The joke that kicked off this whole trend was from Twitter user @Kaldruen, who imagined Leon Kennedy going head to head with Joel Miller from The Last of Us and, upon his obvious victory, saying "Guess that's The Last of Him." From there, Resetera users really ran wild with the idea.
- "*shatters Snake's knees*
'Solid Snake? Not very,'" reads one punny comment. - "*uppercuts a Pikachu*
"Guess that was super effective,'" reads another. - "Leon in Dark Souls vs Ornstein and Smough:
'Two against one? Well maybe big boy is worth 10. Still, odds in my favor,'" says another jokester. - "Ansem from Kingdom Hearts opens the gate, and is vaporised by the Light:
Leon: 'That was bright of him,'" reads yet another pun. - "Defeats Mr. Scratch...
'Guess you're not gonna Wake up from that,'" I can't anymore with these jokes.
Now that I feel my returns rapidly diminishing with this time investment, I'll finish this thing off with my own Leon Kennedy quip: OK, OK, I've got one.
*finds banana in Donkey Kong Bananza...
"Ohhh, banana!"
... wait.
