Description: The guy who misses a padlock and yells at his own aim is Bryan from Zach Cregger's 2026 Resident Evil movie. Here's the scene, how the clip spread in September and October 2026, and why gamers feel so seen.
That guy screaming at his own terrible aim is Bryan Hodukavich, the medical courier played by Austin Abrams in the 2026 Resident Evil movie. He tries to shoot a padlock open, misses, and loses it at himself. Online, the clip goes by “God Damn It, I Fucking Suck At Guns.” For one second, a horror movie hero sounds exactly like you after a bad match.
Why can't Bryan hit a padlock?
Bryan isn't a trained soldier. He's a regular guy who delivers medical supplies and gets dropped into a nightmare full of infected creatures. He sees a lock and does the obvious video game thing: shoot it. Then he misses.
It's a tiny problem next to everything else going on around him, and that's the joke. You don't need to know the movie's plot to get it.
Reviews from around the September 2026 release called out his clumsy gun handling and the padlock gag. That's the character and the movie's dark humor. It says nothing about whether Austin Abrams can actually shoot.
How did it turn into a gaming meme?
According to Know Your Meme's October 14 update, a TikTok posted on September 19 used the scene and had about 380,000 views when the site recorded it. On September 20, another TikTok paired it with a caption along the lines of “me in every game because my aim sucks.” That one had about 1.2 million views at the time. On October 13, someone on Reddit reused the line for a Star Wars joke.
Those are just the examples on record, not a count of everyone who's posted it.
If you've ever panicked and sprayed bullets everywhere except at the enemy, you get it. In Resident Evil, the characters fight monsters. Players fight monsters and their own thumbs. Bryan's outburst is both at once.
Is the line from an old Resident Evil game?
No. The clip comes from the 2026 movie, not a classic game cutscene. Know Your Meme added its entry on October 13, but that's just when the page went up, not when the meme started. Who made the very first edit isn't clear from these records.
The zombies are coming, the lock is still locked, and Bryan just found the real final boss: his own aim.
