_"A bit of advice, try using knives next time. Works better for close encounters."_ *(Takes Ada's handgun, slides the magazine out, and throws it away)*
One of the lines that really made me laugh in RE4 was in Chapter 4 when Salazar was going to conduct the ritual, and Leon says in the most passionately American way, "This is no ritual. It's TERRORISM!"
@@pointblank2890 I feel like it's a "shocked Pikachu" type of reaction. Like how could he expect anything less? Two things you can also count on ada for. 1) she will absolutely betray you. 2) she'll at least TRY to make sure you don't die in the process, no guarantees though
I think the actual dumbest line from Leon is in the original RE2.

@@scurreith3667it wasn’t sensitivity. For one Leon never said anything remotely insensitive or crude. This is middle school humor at best. they were just trying to take the story seriously. People these days are not as receptive to campy humor. This game came out in 2005. The same year Batman Begins would come out and forever change audience expectations. RE4 is Batman Returns. RE4 Remake is the Dark Knight. Camp died in 2005. Spiderman 2 came out in 2004 and it was campy as hell yet still considered an instant classic. Spiderman 3 would release in 2007 and be treated as a joke by audiences. Because Nolan proved that adults could enjoy stories about ridiculous concepts like super hero’s without any lampshading or winking at the audience. He took the Batman franchise 100% seriously as cinema. Something that had previously never been done in that way.
@@scurreith3667Leon hardly says anything sensitive in the OG Pretty sure the RE4R team was just trying to take the story seriously... which imo blew in their face. I personally miss the campiness of the OG.
I've never played these games, but I believe the reason people love this character is because he's just unapologetically himself. It's silly, but the game's devotion to pull off those cheeky jokes as deadass as possible is what gives it its charm, which is also why these days movies with self aware humour about tropes seem to miss the mark. You can fall in love with ANY silly narrative if the creator fully commits to the characters/story they're presenting. Never be afraid to be cheesy, because there are so many people out there who LOVE the cheese
It's also a time capsule of one of the greatest eras in video games: 2000's Capcom. Resident Evil 4's production is how Devil May Cry happened - makes a lot of sense, considering the buffet of dopey one-liners between Leon and Dante. And then there's Viewtiful Joe and Godhand - the 2000's was Capcom's greatest era of action movie-style cheese. And since the games are also really fun, it makes them oddly timeless and loved.
Believe it or not, people still think Leon is overrated. RE6 was bad but Leon had the best campaign. Even in CGI movies, it was enjoyable to watch because of him.
The thing that made RE4 Leon so great is that he was charismatic. He's just the right combination of goofy and cool to feel like it's just uniquely his personality. He's not actively _trying_ to put on a character; he just acts as he sees fit, almost nonchalantly, which comes off as simultaneously dorky, but also badass at the same time. He's "effortlessly cool" in a sense; he's got a lot of bluster, but he backs it up with competency and has a bit of fun while he's at it. It makes him a bit weird, but... isn't that kinda what everyone is? A little weird sometimes? He's a doofus, but he's also a badass. That's what makes him _genuinely_ cool - he has a multifaceted, endearing personality, with charming humour backed up by ass-kicking capability. That's what really makes someone cool; pure charisma.
Because men are valued primarly by their competence, appearance and social hierarchy position. personality comes below those cathegories (whereas women are valued by their appearance and personality - and by personality its usually agreeable-ness, humour and positivity. Those aspects are also interchangeable i.e. a super hot girl can get away with being less pleasant and agreeable - with it labelled as being 'confidence', while a more average looking girl will more often come across as arrogant, stuck up, "a bitch" and so on). Leon happens to score quite high in those three cathegories so he can have whatever personality the writers decide to put into him that people are gonna praise it.
"I’m sure you boys didn’t just tag along so we can sing kumbaya at some boy scout bonfire, but then yet again maybe you did." THE AUDACITY OF THIS SIGMA MALE
Leon is my favorite RE character but honestly I think the title of sigma male goes to Chris. Leon has his moments with Ada while Chris is all about the mission.
It took me all these years to understand the “sandwiched” reference. And the fact that he prefaces it with “I hate to say it.” Because it’s the OG resident evil bad joke and he didn’t want to invoke cringe. It’s actually brilliant
The best part is that his enemies laugh at his jokes, like, they wanna kill him, but they still find him to be really funny, specially Saddler, maybe that's why he never used his plaga control powers to just straight up kill Leon (when he tried at the end of the game it was too late).
When i played RE4 for the first time, i didnt understand a word of english, i just played along doing trial and error. I always thought about how leon was going around saying the coolest, deepest and most 90s action movie kinds of phrases. Only to become fluent in english and realise he was just pseudo-shitposting all along lmao. In Ada's scene i used to think he was all like "i have to be quick!" or "Damn it!", turns out all he said was "damn she actually pressed it"
The demo to the remake taught us two things. The first comes with the bingo line, and it shows that they’re not going to be getting rid of some of the campy iconic lines from the original, despite them not being as serious, and the second comes from him saying “I guess I’ll let myself out.” and jumping out a window, which shows that they are also adding new campy lines to it, so it’s safe to say that the overall vibe of tue remake will be the same as the original, and despite changes in appearance and voice, this is the same Leon we know and love.
@@artemis477 Unfortunately, they have removed some of them, including my personal favorite, "No thanks, bro." However, after playing through the game, it's clear that they got rid of those lines, not because the game is more gritty, but because they wanted the game to feel like a remake, and not a carbon copy of the original, and so in the place of the old lines, they have tons of new witty banter from Leon.
"Monsters. Looks like after this there'll be one less to worry about." That sounds like something that was kept over from the original Devil May Cry script.
@@nocturnerequiem4756 I know that. Resident Evil 4 had gone through several revisions and at one point spawned Devil May Cry 1 as a result of one of the scripts. I was just highlighting that dialogue as a possible carryover.
I am gonna miss this Leon, the new maybe more believable, but it's not the same without the quirky lines and him possibly actually having fun during the game. Edit: Turne out Leon is still his old quirky self, thank god.
@@rawmaw I mean, the script is the same, but as much as I'd like to say I love it, I think the VA just doesn't do that good of a job delivering the funny lines. He fits Leon perfectly most of the time, but his cheesy one-liners just don't sound the same. It's not as funny if you don't try to sound overly cool while saying them LMAO.
@@sasha_vb I'm sorry to hear you experience with the game so far. Luckily, I disagree. I'll admit that I do prefer the VA, but the new guy is a dandy replacement. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the rest of what the game has to offer :)
This early 2000s humor died the same year RE4 came out. Who killed it? Christopher Nolan with Batman Begins. He took Batman seriously and never once winked at the audience and it worked. Audiences ate it up. And we’ve never looked back. While marvel would blend humor and seriousness with iron man, it would never go back to the campy humor of the Spider-Man trilogy. Not saying this is good or bad. It just fascinates me.
What I like about Leon is that he doesn't break the immersion with jokes all the time. He sure leaves some comments out of nowhere here and there but he treats the situation he's in very seriously. I wish we had more characters in zombie outbreak or dangerous situations like Leon. We pretty much have a huge number of jokers in zombie apocalipse that beat zombies in a "cool" way taking away the feeling of fighting for your own life and that's it. I don't know how they found the perfect way of writing a character that can beat dangerous enemies, fight for his on life and make some jokes here and there without take away all the tension of a survivor game
I think it helped that they gave us little snippets of him suffering when he got the egg iinjected in him. Like in the village hes chill but once hes infected and at the castle you get a sense of seriousness and danger? We also loose Luis here so it adds alot more seriousness of the matter. The Island part is a whole other "his is the last part have fun with the action craziness." Thats how it felt to me anyway. The castle enemies could be a tad annoying and a ramp up compared tot he villagers but once you get to the island it becomes more action more freedom to move around cause you know how to play better. I think the only difficulty were those freeze thing you had to shoot at certain body parts.
He 100% practices one liners in the mirror
And, as you can see, it really pays off 🤣
What if he practiced a whole script before going on mission lol

Never be afraid to be cheesy, because there are so many people out there who LOVE the cheese
That's such a great way of putting it! Strongly agreed!
It's also a time capsule of one of the greatest eras in video games: 2000's Capcom. Resident Evil 4's production is how Devil May Cry happened - makes a lot of sense, considering the buffet of dopey one-liners between Leon and Dante. And then there's Viewtiful Joe and Godhand - the 2000's was Capcom's greatest era of action movie-style cheese. And since the games are also really fun, it makes them oddly timeless and loved.
Very well put
Believe it or not, people still think Leon is overrated. RE6 was bad but Leon had the best campaign. Even in CGI movies, it was enjoyable to watch because of him.
how people love dante too
Bruh I fucking love leon 😂😂
we all love
Same
Hey, Sadler said it best:
"You entertain me!" 🤣👌🤦♀️
i love lean too

No disrespect to the remake, but his humor make og 4 Leon superior
i agree, Leon in the remake really lacks from his sense of humour
0:56 "can't remember the name huh? A senior moment perhaps?" >>>>> This is gold dude😂😂
Fucking burned.
Even Saddler laughed at that one😂😂
@@Cooper-Coop he laughs in a way that sounds like he was genuinely offended and he had to laugh to mask it
@@Cooper-Coop The bug in him laughed.
@@lowhp_comic I bet he had to write it down in his diary asap to be able to cope.
The thing that made RE4 Leon so great is that he was charismatic. He's just the right combination of goofy and cool to feel like it's just uniquely his personality. He's not actively _trying_ to put on a character; he just acts as he sees fit, almost nonchalantly, which comes off as simultaneously dorky, but also badass at the same time. He's "effortlessly cool" in a sense; he's got a lot of bluster, but he backs it up with competency and has a bit of fun while he's at it. It makes him a bit weird, but... isn't that kinda what everyone is? A little weird sometimes?
He's a doofus, but he's also a badass. That's what makes him _genuinely_ cool - he has a multifaceted, endearing personality, with charming humour backed up by ass-kicking capability. That's what really makes someone cool; pure charisma.
Eh Spider-Man does it better.
@@sonicsucks20 but spiderman character isn't made to be badass, his character's made to feel cool
Same deal as zack fair from crisis core, I think. I love these characters 💕
Kind of reminds me of Dante
Because men are valued primarly by their competence, appearance and social hierarchy position. personality comes below those cathegories (whereas women are valued by their appearance and personality - and by personality its usually agreeable-ness, humour and positivity. Those aspects are also interchangeable i.e. a super hot girl can get away with being less pleasant and agreeable - with it labelled as being 'confidence', while a more average looking girl will more often come across as arrogant, stuck up, "a bitch" and so on). Leon happens to score quite high in those three cathegories so he can have whatever personality the writers decide to put into him that people are gonna praise it.
"I’m sure you boys didn’t just tag along so we can sing kumbaya at some boy scout bonfire, but then yet again maybe you did." THE AUDACITY OF THIS SIGMA MALE
I love this because it sounds like he thought he was doing something with that last part
@beef business thank you for pointing out the error
Leon is my favorite RE character but honestly I think the title of sigma male goes to Chris. Leon has his moments with Ada while Chris is all about the mission.
@@LeOneToyota gigachad would fit better to be honest
And then they were burned at the stake..
Dammit Leon, stop predicting the future!
Guess they got burned twice that day...
Hearing someone respond to "no way" with "way" REALLY takes me back....
As a Spanish speaker this is fucking hilarious, especially because he just says it outta nowhere 😭😭😭
1:57
Al menos tiene sentido lo que dice
LMFAOOO
When he says Louise instead of Luis is properly by far such a slap in the face hilarious
to be fair the game does take place somewhere in spain iirc, so he's just trying to fit in with the locals

“senior moment” omg leon was so ahead of his time lmao
The original "Okay, boomer."
whoever did leons voice acting is the funniest person ive ever heard
Paul Mercier
It took me all these years to understand the “sandwiched” reference. And the fact that he prefaces it with “I hate to say it.” Because it’s the OG resident evil bad joke and he didn’t want to invoke cringe. It’s actually brilliant
I just now realized cus of your comment
Oh wow, you're right.
He says it in the REmake as well, but in a different context; Ashley also says she's become a master of unlocking at one point.
Also in the remake, if you examine El Gigante's corpse he says 'I was almost a pancake'
@@Amig186 He did & that made me laugh
OHHH WAITTT I JUST GOT IT HELPP
The best part is that his enemies laugh at his jokes, like, they wanna kill him, but they still find him to be really funny, specially Saddler, maybe that's why he never used his plaga control powers to just straight up kill Leon (when he tried at the end of the game it was too late).
Haiiiiiii thereeeee it’s me❤❤❤❤❤ said Lucy haiii how is your food😊😊😊😊
These lines are 25% of Leon's dialogue in the entire resident evil 4
This Leon will always have a special place in our hearts. Everything about him was and is cool
When i played RE4 for the first time, i didnt understand a word of english, i just played along doing trial and error. I always thought about how leon was going around saying the coolest, deepest and most 90s action movie kinds of phrases.
Only to become fluent in english and realise he was just pseudo-shitposting all along lmao. In Ada's scene i used to think he was all like "i have to be quick!" or "Damn it!", turns out all he said was "damn she actually pressed it"
Ladies and gentlemen. I may say dumb shit. But I have good intentions.
I love you
@@theblackparadeisdead Now this is something I don't know how to respond to!
At least half these were either funny jokes or just having a valid point, rarely saying actual dumb things

@@Not_Leon_Kennedy I love you
My headcanon is that leon grew up watching action movies and thinks that cringey one-liners are part of his job description
“I knew you’d be fine if you landed on your butt.” THIS ONE MAKES ME LAUGH SO HARD EVERYTIME 💀
Hiiiiiii😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
@@ezlyn Haiiiii :3
LMAO SAMEEEE
The demo to the remake taught us two things. The first comes with the bingo line, and it shows that they’re not going to be getting rid of some of the campy iconic lines from the original, despite them not being as serious, and the second comes from him saying “I guess I’ll let myself out.” and jumping out a window, which shows that they are also adding new campy lines to it, so it’s safe to say that the overall vibe of tue remake will be the same as the original, and despite changes in appearance and voice, this is the same Leon we know and love.
The window one was a pretty good addition
Nah, his voice sucks now.
@@pleasekillyoursefshit made me chuckle
But they’re removing some of them; no thanks, bro
@@artemis477 Unfortunately, they have removed some of them, including my personal favorite, "No thanks, bro." However, after playing through the game, it's clear that they got rid of those lines, not because the game is more gritty, but because they wanted the game to feel like a remake, and not a carbon copy of the original, and so in the place of the old lines, they have tons of new witty banter from Leon.
a senior moment👴
perhaps
That was good
leon is savage
Next time someone forgets something ima say this
Leon: Ok Sadmer
Leon’s the only guy who can make marvel dialogue seem actually cool
"Monsters. Looks like after this there'll be one less to worry about." That sounds like something that was kept over from the original Devil May Cry script.
Probably bc DMC is from Capcom too?
@@nocturnerequiem4756 I know that. Resident Evil 4 had gone through several revisions and at one point spawned Devil May Cry 1 as a result of one of the scripts. I was just highlighting that dialogue as a possible carryover.
lol now Leon is a real dmc character. He can't shut the hell up xD
I am gonna miss this Leon, the new maybe more believable, but it's not the same without the quirky lines and him possibly actually having fun during the game.
Edit: Turne out Leon is still his old quirky self, thank god.
He is so believable that he can counter a chainsaw with a knife 😂
@@LowTierPancakesbut the knife destroying iafter that
it's still the same Leon.
Same cheesy writing + now cheesy banter mid-combat
@@rawmaw I mean, the script is the same, but as much as I'd like to say I love it, I think the VA just doesn't do that good of a job delivering the funny lines. He fits Leon perfectly most of the time, but his cheesy one-liners just don't sound the same. It's not as funny if you don't try to sound overly cool while saying them LMAO.
@@sasha_vb I'm sorry to hear you experience with the game so far.
Luckily, I disagree.
I'll admit that I do prefer the VA, but the new guy is a dandy replacement.
Regardless, I hope you enjoy the rest of what the game has to offer :)
2:38 bro's the thinker.
I never realized how many of these quotes fit into Xavier Renegade Angel
A senior moment perhaps
I’d like to believe that canonically Leon took one too many hits to the head from Mr X and just started spouting weird one liners unprompted after RE2
That's gotta be canonical
"I knew you'd be fine if you landed on your butt" made me spit soda on my lap
Real meaning: Nice butt ashley
Just means that looking under her skirt is Canon for Leon xD
Luis went for her ballistics, while Leon went for her butt.

Classic early 2000's humour, it's odd but I love it.
This early 2000s humor died the same year RE4 came out. Who killed it? Christopher Nolan with Batman Begins. He took Batman seriously and never once winked at the audience and it worked. Audiences ate it up. And we’ve never looked back. While marvel would blend humor and seriousness with iron man, it would never go back to the campy humor of the Spider-Man trilogy. Not saying this is good or bad. It just fascinates me.

*Greatest line in Resident Evil history.*
What I like about Leon is that he doesn't break the immersion with jokes all the time. He sure leaves some comments out of nowhere here and there but he treats the situation he's in very seriously. I wish we had more characters in zombie outbreak or dangerous situations like Leon. We pretty much have a huge number of jokers in zombie apocalipse that beat zombies in a "cool" way taking away the feeling of fighting for your own life and that's it. I don't know how they found the perfect way of writing a character that can beat dangerous enemies, fight for his on life and make some jokes here and there without take away all the tension of a survivor game
I think it helped that they gave us little snippets of him suffering when he got the egg iinjected in him. Like in the village hes chill but once hes infected and at the castle you get a sense of seriousness and danger? We also loose Luis here so it adds alot more seriousness of the matter. The Island part is a whole other "his is the last part have fun with the action craziness." Thats how it felt to me anyway. The castle enemies could be a tad annoying and a ramp up compared tot he villagers but once you get to the island it becomes more action more freedom to move around cause you know how to play better. I think the only difficulty were those freeze thing you had to shoot at certain body parts.
It's cause it balances out with scenes that show he clearly doesn't know whats going on and is put off by the situation
And most of it is from re4😭
All
And nothing like this will be in the remake...😢
@@abraxo
No confirmation on that. Leon is a dork and always will be. He'll say dumb shit, don't worry. Just might be new dumb shit.
