"I'm FLAMING!! ...in the, *ahem*, manly way..."

Yeah, now that I write that one down, I'm not sure all those lines are coming back...
Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster.
Kill 100 men: You are a hero. Kill 10,000 men, you are a conqueror!

I dunno, that one's not so bad imo. It's just kinda silly.

Who the hell knows what they'll do though. Most of them are just dated or silly. It'd be super weird to make new goofy phrases - I...think they'd just keep them??

This is the only one that really stands out in my memory as really cracking me up as a kid:

"My nipples feel like snowpeas! Make it warm, Number One!"

Gex used to freak me out as a kid and he still kinda does

One I liked back then went:

"Would Cheech and/or Chong report to the front desk?"
When ancient man screamed and beat on the ground with sticks, they called it WITCHCRAFT.
When modern man does the same thing, they call it GOLF.

On one hand, being faithful to the original's references would appeal more to the people buying this out of nostalgia, but on the other, a lot of those references are just going to go over the heads of modern audiences. Most of the games' references were targeted at adults and older teenagers 25-30 years ago who were familiar with the pop culture material in question, and a good chunk of that demographic now is younger than the games , let alone the pop culture material being referenced. Given how heavily the games lean on those references, they may end up suffering for having them fall flat and not doing well as a result.

Though, saying that, modernizing the references would be a ton of work, so I'm inclined to guess that they'll just remake them as-is.
This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts.

Ripping on Adam Sandler is still relevant at least. But I still have no idea what a "Rip Taylor" is.
