Yawn – Resident Evil 1
The original Resident Evil is an unforgiving survival horror game, but that brutality is contrasted by unintentionally funny dialogues which makes for a unique experience. And that dichotomy can be perfectly illustrated by the Yawn boss fight, which sees Jill Valentine fighting off a huge snake. The fight takes place in two phases – the first requires you to keep running around in circles while your ally shoots the snake with a shotgun. Once that’s done, you get the shotgun and you need to unleash a handful of rounds into the snake before it goes down. The snake looks dangerous with its towering presence and fierce shrieks, but it goes down so easily which makes the whole affair ultimately a silly one.
