The sad thing is that it's her default response regardless of previous encounters. Did 1-3 full paragon and went back to 3 for a renegade NG+, she still dodges the punch. But I guess you gotta learn a thing or two about self-defence if you're antagonizing a krogan
at the very least, save before doing so, and she will forget it ever happened, which can go one of 2 ways, A: you continue with your Paragon playthrough (without getting too much Renegade points) or B: continuously Punch her until either you get bored of it, or decide to transition your playthrough to Paragade
I love how the option "Time to shut you up!" is there the entire time, waiting eagerly. I also love that Ashley and Liara don't bat an eye about Shepherd punching a civilian and woman.
The fact that he headbutts her AFTER she dodged a punch. He could’ve left it there and walked away, but something about the fact that he had to inflict damage and in the most comical way possible cracks me up.
The music in ME1 that plays in the area this happens sounds so upbeat and heroic, meanwhile you're fucking decking this woman. The way Shephard swings and the way she falls down and the sound it makes is just gold.
4:00 I love how Garrus and Thane are standing on the background like: "How interesting, he did punched her."" "Yup, like before; you owe me a cold one."
Love how throughout the first interview he's showing off his intellect and abilities in front of camera, referencing Machiavelli etc. He makes it all the way to the final, easiest and least provoking question and then: I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR SNIDE INSINUATIONS.

@@logangustavson Yea, now I wonder what they even teach in schools in these universes since they've discovered so much in so little amount of time haha.
The hilarious part is that her final question in 1 wasn't even offensive or attacking him in any way yet (the player) decided "ok here is where i break her face" 😭
😂😂 For real though. I punched her on the ME2 and thought that would come back to bite me. Im now on ME3 and just saw her crazy ass. She's definitely getting knocked again. 😂
He’s a Spectre, only the Council can really touch him, and even then only to a certain degree if he really wants to flex. His reputation would definitely be shot, but I imagine this Shepard does not care. lol
Probably because that "other" in question supports journalists. Just a hunch. However, I personally have issues with the current state of journalism. If there are still good ones out there, more power to them; keep at it.
Sheppard's ancestor is Spanish, he's a chad who send an entire group of feminists "home to cook the dinner" ("ahora a casa que hay que hacer la cena") while they were doing a stupid performance in Spain.
Well, the two earlier times the closing of distance wasn't exactly subtle after aggressive remark, so she'd be quite stupid not to anticipate it for the third time. But I don't know, maybe the reported was even more stupid to even talk to Shepard after knowing what he'll do to her.
That's what made it therapeutic for me. There's the virtuous notion of a journalist we read about in things like comic books. Then there's our real life experiences of what they are really like, some of the most evil and disgusting people, abusing their platforms in reality. They lie all the time and if you project that image on the character in the game then it kind of reproduces the way a lot of people feel toward mainstream journalism. In ME1 I think it's mainly funny more because it's just absurd. In ME2, the way he says that he's had enough of her disingenuous assertions is exactly how we feel about the press these days. The version in this video of ME2 isn't the best. It works better when you didn't hit her in ME1 and you're playing as paragon.
3:58 I remember that if you didn't punch her in ME1: "i wish I've done that the first time we met." (In my case, I walked out of the interview near the end. Thought she was getting to nosy)
I'm a full-on paragon. Almost every single action I do is paragon. I say ALMOST every single action, because I love punching the reporter. (Then again, there's also Kai Leng, and Udina, and Clone Shepard, but we dont talk about that)
💀💀 I’m dying right now as I play the games for the first time I didn’t even know you could punch in the first game and so when I played the second and punched her I bursted out laughing
Same. I looked this video up immediately after she got decked in the second game. Then watching it play through, I had no idea she could get hit in all 3. I was just like damn, Shepard really doesn't like this chick at all. Lmao.
@@dragonkingbreaker6 she comes up to shepard equipped with loaded questions, and then opens the interview with fake politeness by pretending as if the whole interview is to provide the truth, when she already has her version of the truth that she would like to corral shepard into like he said, she is a tabloid journalist, with snide insinuations and disingenous assertions
3:03 hello horribly disfigured man with glowing red eyes who broke my jaw the last time we met and appears to be some kind of zombie *extends hand for shaking*
When you showcased the Mass effect 1 Punch it's funny because Shepherd crashed out to the most like tame question she asked you mean while the other three were scathing
My favorite has gotta be the one from ME2, when she offers a handshake and Shepard just crosses his arms is really something. One can tell he just did NOT want anything to do with her after their first encounter and that renegade interrupt proves it.
Actually, the best case scenario is to punch her in ME1 and ME2, but NOT punch her in ME3. Her reaction to actually getting the answers she was looking for all while not getting punched is priceless.
I did that for 1 and 2 but when she said I was a coward during third for leaving earth I punched her face since it was an order and we didn't want to leave to begin with
@@djeldj Yeah being professional is only done well in Mass Effect 1. They must have learned how many people punched her in ME1 and didn't even bother to make shepard act like a spectre in 2 and 3.
@@Grivian I thought the questions in 2 were fine but if you do both interviews it's weird she still dogdes in 3 since I never once tried hitting her till she said I fleeed from earth witch tipped my Shepard over the edge
![Renegade Shepard: Funny & Ridiculously Evil Moments [ME1]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Gm7wsgdXubs/mqdefault.jpg)
The way she dodges the first punch in the third game lmao. Now that's character development
She learned. She came for an interview but was prepared for a fistfight.
If you fight the urge in the prior games she gets a unique line that basically translates to her saying “square up “.
Just like the Scream series.
@@zackhagos3677 lol yep still got hit 😂😂

Even if you do a paragon playthrough, you are required to go renegade on this one. It's tradition.
Indeed. As well as hanging up on the Counsel.
I didn't because I was trying to RP being a straight-laced naval officer. Next time, I'm thinking I'll go total asshole.
Nah I like embarrassing her in front of billions by talking circles around her.

For me the way to go is talk to her in me1, punch her in me2 to show that cerberus spirit and talk to her in 3 to show that in not a terrorist.
3:44 Garrus be like: "Her again? This should be good."
More like: "Let me give you some space Shepard, so you can punch her again"
This worth stopping my calibrations.
It’s tradition to punch her each time you see her throughout the series
I don't do it and prefer to humiliate her in her own game.
@AnimeGamer X Because she punch you back?
I only punched her in 3.
I love how the option "Time to shut you up!" is there the entire time, waiting eagerly. I also love that Ashley and Liara don't bat an eye about Shepherd punching a civilian and woman.

I am surprised she is still alive.
How is she not dead, or in a wheelchair blowing into a tube to move after that hit? Rocky's old coach threw in the towel after that one.
Damn she must have abs of steel lol
Most everyone hates corrupt journalsists
If I ever become President I’m most definitely appointing Shepard as my Press Secretary.

If you watch the surveillance camera for her in the shadowbroker lair you can see a Volus kicking her on the shin, it's hilarious
It's actually impressive that she survived being punched by a Krogan
The krogan was hoping she'd survived so he could punch her again later
There's also Shadow Broker footage of her getting punched by a Volus.
How the hell do you get put in a position where you're able to be punched by a volus, is she *that* annoying?
@@evilchicken314 it was not a punch, the volus kicked her in the shins instead, iirc.
@@solarwrath1313 Which is objectively more degrading

Shepard: So you have chosen punches.
😂😂😂
World might be slightly better if this was the normal response to slanderous remarks from the press
3:36 Haha. Why would you annoy this man?
😂😂😂😂
This made me laugh more then it should.
He shows up after punching her 2 years ago, looking crazy as hell and she decides to give him more lip 🤦♂️
The fact that she ducks the punch in the third game is so fucking funny. She’s dealt with this man clocking her for years and expects it now. LOL!
I think the best part is when he headbutts her, he doesnt even close his eyes. He WANTED to see that impact.
Mass Effect Dialog can be so random, one minute your anwser proper question the next your slowly striding toward the reporter to deck them.
The fact that she took CQC training *specifically* in case she encounters him again
Well, she also got beaten by a Krogan and a Volus and probably many others that are not presented in the game ;)

First game is the funniest
Probably made her wheeze, too.
Best running gag in a series ever.
Not gonna lie, when she ducked that punched and put her dukes up, the first time I played, I was scared af 🤣
It appears the words, "I've had enough" trigger a Pavlovian response now.
Realistically speaking, how does he not get in trouble for this😂
That Specter status ain't just for show.

Still the funniest encounters in a game, to this day.
“I’ve had enough of your disingenuous assertions”.
"I've had enough of your astute observations."
