Internet meme references in games?
I've noticed a few references to internet memes in games recently. For example, in Heavenly Sword (never played the game, I just noticed this), a teenage girl named "Kai" points her crossbow at some guy and says, "I will attack your weak point for massive damage!" Another example is in one of the Metal Gear Solid 4 trailers, when one of the Arab militia men says, "You're the man now dog!" Another says, "It's a trap!" I also believe that in one of the Phoenix Wright games, someone says "This is Sparda!" (probably irrelevant, but I thought I'd list it anyways.)
So what's next? Dante in Devil May Cry 4 saying, "Do a barrel roll!"? Or someone in Uncharted: Drake's Fortune saying "Find the computer room!"? |

In Oblivion there are references to Pirates v.s. Ninjas, don't remember where though.

The 1337 Hammer Bros. from M&L:PiT were probably my favorite internet reference in a game.
Contact has a lot of these things in it too.

Ah yes, Contact did have few.
"Try to hit it's weakspot for massive damage" "ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG" And there was basically an entire island full of that stuff. I loved that game! We also can't forget Sal Manella from Phoenix Wright, he spoke in 1337.

In FF12, there's a moogle that says "Oh noes!" in one area.
If that counts.

The 1337 Hammer Bros. from M+L: PIT are by far my favourite. Also, in D/P, some other trainers call you n00b besides your rival.

Best moment in video game history, period. It really hit home because I frequented the Nsider forums at the time of my reading that.
For some reason I can't think of any at the time, but I'm sure I'll think of some later.
