Accidental The Resident + Evil = Resident Evil Pun On Netflix
Text content
Navigation text: 'Movies', 'My Netflix'; left show title: 'THE RESIDENT'; right show title: 'EVIL'; Netflix red 'N' logo on the far right
Overview
This is a screenshot of the Netflix streaming platform browsing interface, with top navigation labels 'Movies' and 'My Netflix' visible. Two adjacent show thumbnails are displayed: the left thumbnail is for the medical drama The Resident, with its title printed on the lead character's medical scrub top, while the right thumbnail is for the supernatural drama Evil, with its title printed on the bottom right of the poster. When placed next to each other, the two titles visually combine to read 'THE RESIDENT EVIL', creating an unintentional humorous reference to the famous Resident Evil horror video game and film franchise.
Origin notes
This meme comes from a casual user observation of serendipitous show thumbnail placement on Netflix's interface. It was shared as a lighthearted relatable observation meme on X (formerly Twitter), with the given source being the X account meme.jpg. No edits were made to the original Netflix UI elements; the joke arises entirely from the natural adjacent positioning of the two show posters.
