In the PC version Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare you, as the player, attend a funeral in the game. As it's your turn to walk up to the coffin, the game prompts you to "Press F to pay respects."

It became a meme and now people use F in place of RIP, or to "pay their respect" to something or someone that just "died", usually in a joking manner.
