Mass Effect has a rich video game universe with a compelling plot, lots of scenic and iconic locations, and some of the best developed⭕ characters of any video game universe made in the past 15 years. The characters are arguably the very best part. Of course, since we’re living in the year of 2017, the moment any game with any kind of exploitable personalities comes into the veil of existence, it will be turned into more memes than you can shake a stick at.

Good memes, bad memes, forgettable memes, or memorable memes, they 💜are all memes nevertheless and almost always worth taking a look at. Like most memes related to video games or, well… anything, they are the funniest to the people who play and love the games the most. They can sometimes contain ▨some deep introspection into gameplay mechanics, mock the bizarre situations that the characters find themselves plunged into, poke fun at the personality quirks of some characters, or otherwise rather inappropriate actions. Or maybe they can be used to just make silly puns and turn characters into something they’re completely not.

Regardless, the following ♋list will bring ꦑyou 15 memes that are funny in their own right, but will make Mass Effect fans cry of laughter.

15 What's My Name? ꦍ

Ahh, poor Commander Shepherd. He or she saves the galaxy from the Reapers and goes into battle to save a whole ton of peop♉le (his/her crew included), negotiates trials for a crewmember who is being charged with a crime she did not commit, and tries to punch reporters for being too nosy. One of the great things about Commander Shepherd is that you can customize the good commander’s appearance in almost every way. Skin complexion, eye color, hair style, gender, whatever you want. Of course, you had the option of putting in you🔯r name as his/her name as well.

Howev𝕴er, despite t𝓡he inseparable bonds that form between Commander Shepherd and his crew, and no matter how obvious it is that the crew of the Normandy don’t adhere to any real military protocol, they never, EVER refer to Commander Shepherd by his or her first name. It’s almost like of all the things you could do to customize your character, this is the one that makes the least difference. Why even bother? They obviously couldn’t get the voice actors to say every possible name out there anyway.

14 Calibrations 𓆉

Garrus is an aꦐwesome character. He’s a classic tough guy that doesn’t look in the slightest bit human, but is loved for his video game badassery and grotesque handsomeness anyway.ꦓ He’s also an extremely hardworking weapons engineer since that’s all he’s been doing since birth, being a Turian and all that jazz. This meme is one of many that show him engaged in pretty much the only activity he ever seems to do while he’s aboard the Normandy…

No seriously, whenever you go to talk to Garrus on the Normany, whether you’re on the second or third game (never played the first, you guys, you must forgive me), that’s literally ALL he’s doing. I understand the Normandy is a pretty big🤪 warship and it needs lots of work to keep it going nice and smooth… but just how out of whack are the big guns to the point where all he does is calibrate them? Or is maybe calibrations slang for some✤ other activity that he needs lots of alone time for…

13 🍨 No On🐎e Cares About The Volus

A lot of aliens in the game cover themselves up quite well. The Quarians are the ones who generate the most interest, with their rather human like bodies and very vague glimpses of their faces. The romantic option with Tali doesn’t exactly do much to diminish the fanbase’s interest, either. We also really got a major teaser into Tali’s face when she removed her mask in Mass Effect 3.

However, you know who else has their entire bodies and face covered up?༒ The Volus. Sadly, no one wanted to see what was underneath their pressure suits. I’m pretty sure that if they did, the fans would quickly ask them to get d﷽ressed.

12 Garrus And His Anti-Arrow To The Knee 🗹

Garrus is a battle hardened spec-ops Turian with very little in terms of darns to give. He’s faced up against a massive amount of mercenaries who he started a war with due to them smuggling weapons𝕴 and drugs. During the ensuing battle, however, he takes a grenade blast to the face that leaves him with the iconic scars that last him for the remainder🧸 of the series.

Since Mass Effect 2 came around within the same timeframe as Skyrim (OK, so they’re almost two years off, but never mind), it couldn’t be helped to compare that one incident of badassery to one of the most infamous lines in Skyrim. Yes, I’m referring to that one… ‘I was an adventurer like you once, but then I took an arrow to the knee’.🌳 That was as hilarious as it was cringeworthy, but Garrus’ take is especially good. If you’re tough enough to take a grenade to the face and keep 🍒moving, then you can take anything and keep going.

Wi♒th o𓃲r without sci-fi medical technology, of course!

11 🥃 Sara Ryder’s Face

We've really dropped deep into the uncanny valley with this one. I mean even the graphics from the original 2007 Mass Effect weren't this bad, or just plain off.

Seriously, the faces are so utterly off in Andromeda (before the patch) that it’s almost hilarious as it is creepy. Sara Ryder is in a class of her own though. Just googling her will reveal that she’s the butt of almost every single joke about the game. However, the best part is just how the REST of them cou♕ld be squeezed into this one pictur💦e. I honestly just want to laugh when I look at it to get the creeps out of my spine.

10 Always Enough Time🙈 For Decoration!

Betwe⛄en saving the galaxy and defeating terrorists, Commander Shepherd can also do things like spend valuable resources to buy things like model spaceships and fill his personal aquarium with various forms of marine li𒆙fe (be careful, if you don’t feed them, they will die). You can even buy alien adult films, just in case you were wondering what turns on some aliens.

However, it's funny to realize that while the whole galaxy could be in danger, Shepherd found the time toജ make a detour, just🉐 so he could buy some needless trinkets for a room that you're never in.

9 Comma🦹nder Shepherd's Ceaseless Endorsements

Look, celebrity endorsements are not uncommon. They go as far back in our history as Ancient Roman Gladiators, who endo🍎rsed things before they went off to stab each other for the glory of Rome. That being said, Commaꦉnder Shepherd can do this for a discount, but the good commander has a pretty weird definition of ‘favorite’.

It is funny that you can claim that every store is your favorite on the whole citadel. If this was the real world, Commander Shepherd would really be wearing a S🔜cumbag Steve hat, since he would be getting his deals, but the stores he endorsed wouldn’t get anything. Because if all stores are his favorite, then none are…

8 🌠 The Anticipation of Mass Effect Andromeda

Due to its unsatisfying ending, most would consider Mass Effect 3 to be a disappoint💝ment. Even though the game play was solid and the rest of the game was fun, the ending left a re💫al sour taste in the mouths of gamers the world over.

And then Mass Effect: Andromeda was announced. The internet collectively lost their minds and, with every passing trailer, the hype just seemed to grow bigger and bigger. For old timers like me, it seemed like 2008’s Spore all over again… a massive hype over a game that could not possibly hope to deliver and was bound to provide tons of disappointing blunders. While Spore’s gameplay was lacking, it made up for with some interesting alien designs. Andromeda… well, you’ve𒁃 seen Sara Ry▨der’s face, which brings us to…

7 The Mas🃏sive Disappointment

So before Sara Ryder’s face made everyone’s jaw drop (for the wrong reasons), there was… the anticipation. Seriously, I think fans were just interested in getting the thought of the ending of Mass Effect 3 out of their minds that any other Mass Effect game just seemed like it would packed with gold. Also, the hype of what was promised in the game was incredible; more exploration, more combat and an increasingly immersive world that would dwarf anything that had come bef♛ore it.

Then, something happened… something that sent the hype-train of anticipation into a massive hype trainwreck. The game was overloaded, not with goodness, but with glitches. On top of that, there weren't as many loveable characters and the AI was incredib🦹ly dumb.

6 Assuꦑming Direct Control ﷽

When fighting Sovereign, one thing that he likes to do when taunting you was to say that he's assuming direct control over a certain individual you were fighting and boasting that ‘this♒ hurts you’ when he attacks. It’s pretty funny when you realize how the line could be inserted into almost anything to make it look more epic.

The sheer variety of jokes that are online a💟bout this is hilarious. However, if you've played the game, it is a line that would eventually tick you off since the ꦕenemy you now have to fight needs to be hit harder before he can go down and deals more damage to boot.
