Internet meme references in games?

[SSJ3 Gogeta]

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!"?

yeah i laughed when Zach (rival character) called me a n00b in Pokemon D/P, generally i don't notice it now, because everyone else i know uses internet speak in regular conversation

i have difficulty understanding text speak, let alone this.....

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.

Sort of. It actually makes fun of the "real-time weapon change" and "massive damage" parts from the rest of the presentation: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1.../Noname765.jpg

The day I see an lolcat as a loading screen, is the day I shall be eternally happy.

In Starfox 64 it says Do A Barrel Roll.

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

If you wish...

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.

There is a whole video game series that was named after the Sony Reps famous quote, "Riiiiiiiiiidge Racer!"
