You know, considering that Salarians process thoughts and images much faster than any other species... My god, Salarian Rap music would be amazing.
It would be MC Chris.
MC solos
Rap God ain't got shit on a Salarian on the mic.
@@Alex_acer I didn't do that, just made an incidental observation. Get over yourself you snob.
@@Alex_acer literally no one said this song was a rap song.
it frustrates me how mordin just did this entire show, and then shepard just says, thanks for sharing your information... and just leaves. I MEAN HE JUST BLOODY SANG.
@117226693390477513154 Well I was going to stick around but I had space ladies to meet.
i get that, would you care for a jelly baby though?
always :)
+pow3rstrik3 I should go.
+pow3rstrik3 The awkward cough at the end makes it... Well, awkward.
It's the cough at the end.
Holy Molly, hi bortz, I'm a big fan
Someone else might have gotten it wrong.
When he died curing the genophage, it made me tear up. But oh well. Someone else might have gotten it wrong.
+Voldra Lightningfrost Yea, I talked him out of curing it and the Krogan took it in the shorts, bothered me more when Legion died. I never liked the Krogan for some reson
Would have liked to run tests on seashells.
And if you go full paragon, he hums and sings this song again before he dies.
@@AzureKyle HOW DARE YOU, SIR AND/OR MADAM?! I WAS JUST ENJOYING MY DAY AND THEN I GET THIS KNIFE TO THE HEART!
@@estoericaferret You're welcome
This song still pops into my mind every now and then...Great game.
jESUS I would venture to guess your character is a renegade?? Holy crap that face startled me
XD so true
You should watch the Mass Effect Monster Factory on the Polygon channel haha
Thats one rotting shepard
lol
Looks like Freddy Kruger
when this happened to me in game, i just had the biggest fucking grin on my face the whole time. i literally dropped my controller and started clapping
+mobius OMG, me too! :D
@@ringwraith10 That's (part of) why it hurt so much when we heard the song the last time...
@@BigDaddyXD had to be him....someone else might have gotten it wrong. Rip Mordin
SAME
That is the ugliest shepard I have ever seen
I've seen worse. Much, much worse.
KnAtiOn12 I tried.
+KnAtiOn12 Clearly someone hasn't seen or read the adventures of ugly Shepard. :P
@@Saidenz "Once there was an ugly Shepard. He was so ugly that everyone died. The end."
Every time I have seen a custom shepard they look horrible
I still remember the first time I got Mordin to do this bit. It took me so off guard that I actually had to put the controller down a moment to process what happened.
Yet another custom Shepard that looks like a burnt potato. I know that feel bro
You know. Some stop the bus by putting out a hand or a finger.
And some do it with their faces. 🤷🏻♂️
I love how after that he just turns back to you like nothing happened at all. And then clears his throat. XD
No time for awkwardness for salarians.
I admit it...a tear came to my eye when I heard this recording in the Citadel DLC.
Your Shepard looks like he has recently been dipped into a vat of chemicals then mauled by a particularly viscous tiger
or some ginger with severe acne
I didn't know tigers could have a thick, sticky consistency
@@masonsykes2240 If it weren't viscous it would would have been too acquiescent to the shape of the vat to do any mauling
It's funny cause it implies that it's a tiger made of chemicals and it lives in the vat...
He looks like someone who died in a messy way and got stiched together with shady experimental technology.
Why was there no clap option for this?? My boy deserves a standing ovation!
Mordin: performs
Sheperd: Thanks for sharing what you've learned, Mordin
First time, i laughed.
Second time, i cried.
This was not only really funny, but brilliantly written. In a few minutes Mordin takes us from scientific study, to how science interacts with a species, through philosophy of science, to art and culture. Then he sings
Short lived species, have to be efficient in presenting a point.
They should release the whole song. I'd buy it.
CannonLongshot the original is the very model of a modern major general
@@lucianfrostbane Yes...but imagine the whole thing rewritten by Mordin. Sounds dope to me.
Hello from the future, the 8-Bit Big Band has now made the whole song
You know, in English there is no difference between "You" when you talking to a friend(thug, kid, brother - any other informal speach) and a "You" when you talking to a master, official, old man and so own.
BUT
When Shepherd here said "You" - I am definitely hear the second form of word.
No matter he is the Boss on that ship
thanks for throwing in the clearing of the throat at the end, its very much apart of it for me.
*Mordin sings*
2:37
-Wait. You sang?
dude if i was Sheperd i'd put on the Pirates of Penzance with the rest of the crew after that that would be awesome
Holy shit, this Shepard didn't fall down the ugly tree, but the ugly TREE OF LIFE and hit every branch on the way down.
Every time Mordin is done speaking this Shepard just stares at him like words longer than 2 syllabels murdered Shepard's entire family and either a few more brain cells die or he's just restraining himself from attacking Mordin right there and then.
This scene got me doubly, because I played the Major General role back in ninth grade. That combined with the time Family Guy did the General's other song are two of my all-time favorites!
This scene is what made me like Mordin. I'd never used him much, but after this, we was usually in my party, since I alternated between Grunt, Garrus, and Mordin mostly. Maybe like 2 or 3 missions with Tali and Thane
Back in college one of my music major friends was upset with this scene because, according to him, Mordin was singing too slowly for a good patter song. Not sure why but I found that gripe from someone studying music hilarious.
This Sherpard is lore accurate.
The main priroty of Project Lazarus was to resurrect Shepard, not to make him look better.
i didnt realize that commander shepard was actually an undead version of ray liotta
This comment aged well...
"Personal interest negligible", yeah okay Mordin. XD
I have a feeling Mordin and the doctor from star trek Voyager would get along swimmingly
I have sneaking feeling that it would be a very Percival De Rolo and Taryon Darrington like relationship. Mordin would...tolerate the Doctor's presence only to mollify everyone else. The Doctor, though, would worship the ground Mordin walks on.
"...........Thanks for sharing what you've learned."
he was way up there in age, and he was able to finally atone for what he'd done against the Krogan. He was even happy to do it.
I daresay he wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
2:14
DaWaffled00d thanks
Underrated comment.
This video quality is orgasmic.
Why did you make Shepard look like he was beaten about the face with a bat as a child, and then it happened again 5 minutes ago?
it's the facial scarring from the reconstruction.
they repair with paragon but worsen with renegade
and this is definitely an extreme renegade character.
catguru10
That doesn't explain the "face beaten with bat as a child" bit...
Naima Ramiréz
Yes it does. It exactly does.
catguru10 I'm just an extreme renegade.
+catguru10 The general renegade effect doesn’t have to look that bad, his custom-made face is what’s making it look that much ugly.
Someone at BioWare had WAY too much fun writing this bit
It's a parody of the classic song. "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General"
And then ripping them away from you in an instant :(
RIP Mordin
It needed to be him. Someone else might have gotten it wrong :'(
And Star Trek just brought me back to this
Your Shepard looks like he took a nose dive off the ugly tree and hit every fucking branch on the way down.
Because he is an expert which he knows is a tautology!
because he is an expert which he knows is a tautology!
because he is an expert which he knows is a tautolog-golo-gy!
Nice to see Gilbert and Sullivan's music is still worming its way into people's minds far in the future.
Now I am wondering if it ever got translated into any salarian languages, and if that accelerated the tempo at all...🤔
*Proud clapping* Bravo! Bravo! Bravissimo! Ottimo lavoro!
0:33 that awkward silence when you are trying to process everything he said lol
and the response "Thanks for sharing what you've learned, Mordin"
Always have to end that conversation with the awkward silence... Hilarious! :D
+MainEvent lol'd same. the cough haha
And in 2021, we're about to see this again.
i can't wait to see this in 4k
Hopefully not with this exact Shepard. A mug that ugly in 4k...?
This is great, but dear God can we discuss the numerous ugly trees this Shepard must've fallen out of and hit every branch along the way?!
And then the tree coming to life ripping off one of it's branches and clubbing him with it for good measure?
Just that lil cough at the end. I love him so much
Oh shit, it's Michael Myers, RUN MORDIN, RUN!
I thank this scene for introducing me to The Modern Major General
i wish shep could say something after he sang. I know i'd be like "... what the hell?"
God damn it mordin I love you you old scared up gecko
That is bizarre! Nice work.
Heres to the Legendary Edition launching
One of the best moments in this game XD
2:40 Aw! One of the choices should have been [Applaud]! That was very good!
Darn! What a Shepard...
I god, now i have to start playing Mass Effect again
02:15 the moment you came here for
If we talked like him we'd have flying fucking cars.
its scary how close my shepard looks to this guys.
Hold on he's actually a good singer
RIP Mordin.
Shepherd, how can you not clap
Mordin: The Major-General Stanley of Space.
2:10 when the video is relevant.
Oh my gosh! I nearly had a heart attack laughing!
Your shepard is a monster
I got to that part in Mass Effect 3 where he sang that, then while surfing TH-cam, I found this and was like... omg.
Give this many a V.I.P place in heaven
Looks like your Shepard got gangraped by Krogans.
Goodnight sweet prince
Mordin Soul is my favorite character. He is a mentor, and hero, and justice. Why asari doesn't have any of sense like the Mordin with such a 1000 year long life span. Mordin's 40 years is short, but very heavy.
If i'm not mistaken, Mordin is actually 70. Pretty old for a salarian.
@@Neobahamutfr36 He's only 50, actually. But still. 40 is supposed to be really rare, so even 50 is one hecking long time.
ME2:Laugh
ME3:Man tears
2:23 - why does no-one talk about Mordin showing us middle finger? xD
Eggs on top.
Bravo! Very nicely done.
@TheHomelessCripple and that is why you ALWAYS send Mordin back to the ship!
Ngl this caught me off guard the 1st time lol
If he weren't Renegade, he would probably look normal.
Someone else might have gotten it wrong....
@Ixistant I took him with me, and he lived just fine. Two times in a row.
Mordin the only man to break omegas one rule and live to tell the tale
I got some bad news for you
@keanucange well, I'd say he's on his best way to becoming Dark Lord of the you-know-whats. That look is considered chic among their number.
lol I have just discover that Mass Effect 2 is from the year 2010. I am so old
There should have been a "Wow" option.
Do everything good in Mass Effect - Mordin dies.
The fuck.
Good gracious, those graphics were great for 2010. You really don't notice which games were ahead of their time graphically until at least half a decade has past.
I want to quit my job and live on the Normandy. Tali and Miranda can fight over me and I will save the galaxy.
Dude, I'd take being the engineer who don't get no thanks for anything. If it meant I got to be on the Normandy? Fuck yes. Give me that random crewmate roll who will almost certainly die two seconds into the final assault.
Saw Pirates of Penzance for the first time last night.....
lost it
Your Shepard looks freaky.
thanks
I feel bad for shooting mordin
THIS IS F**king FULL OF WIN!!!
Had to be him. Someone else might have gotten it wrong.
Skip to 2:14
Shepard looks like Rick Astley
+Senethys He's never going to give the Reapers up.
