History Funny / MassEffectAndromeda

-->'''Addison''': We expected life, not an enemy that refuses to talk. They don't attack -- they disinfect. We're nothing until we're bacteria. ''({{beat}})'' Sorry. Fourteen months and you stoop to poetry. That's how bad it is. \\

'''Addison''': I trust him to defend us. I do ''not'' trust a rising military influence in a supposedly civilian Initiative. We came here to make history, Ryder. Not repeat it. ''({{beat}})'' Ugh. Goddamn poetry.

-->'''Ryder''': Were you friends, or...?
-->'''Addison''': [[DeadpanSnarker I'm not your new mother, if that's what you're asking]]. [[CrossesTheLineTwice Or his friend]].

--> '''Addison''': Ryder...\\
'''Ryder''': It's "Pathfinder." \\
'''Addison''': [[DudeWheresMyRespect Ryder]].

** After patch 1.09, the Vortex gets a new feature: Poetry slam / karaoke. At one point, an angara is reading out an angara mystery. Dutch and his bartender get pretty into it.

*** The first one also has a mild heartwarming moment - of all the (primarily undeserved) things that they could have hit General Williams for, the song teases about how bad a cook he was.

* Likewise, after the Aya embassy is established, you can find a pair of angara exploring the cultural center. The female will wonder what this "ice cream" stuff is that everybody seems to keep talking about. Her male companion will explain it's conceptually identical to their own "ice drops", just a different recipe, and then gleefully explains he's going to be rich: he's got a brother who makes ice drops.

* One mission you can pick up on the Nexus is undergoing the qualification process of the Angaran equivalent to the N7 program. The Angaran representative wants to see if Ryder is capable of passing the test, and what tactics the Milky Way offers that the Angarans could incorporate into their own program. In particular, the Angaran commando wants one of Ryder's jetpacks.

-->'''Fawkes''': My team gets things going. Water, power, communications: everything a civilization needs. ''({{beat}})'' Well, not laws or a constitution, but it's easier to concentrate on those when you've got a flushing toilet.

-->'''Rialla''': [[BrutalHonesty I've never had to lie to a director before.]]

* At the end of the game, if [[spoiler:you make the Moshae the ambassador]], she'll remark that she's not sure whether to thank Ryder, or punch them. Ryder can offer her a free shot - just not the face.

* Voeld’s capital city is named “Estraja” with the “j” pronounced as “y”. Many angaara on Voeld speak in an Aussie accent, so when they mention Estraja, it sounds a lot like “Australia”.

** Ryder can even comment something like, "How bad could it be?" The player can then have them dip into the lake, and their reaction is about as predictable and as hilarious as you may expect from someone deciding to bathe in a body of water with high acidity. Do it ''again'' and Ryder will say "Yep! Still hurts!"

-->'''Outcast''': Uh, don't worry about our friend here, he's just tired.

-->'''Ryder''': Who knows. Let's call it a "weird alien machine."
-->'''Ryder''': Another "weird alien machine."

-->'''Liam''': [[DontTouchItYouIdiot What are you doing, Ryder?!]]
-->'''Ryder''': ''[[OhCrap Oh, shit!]]''
-->'''Liam''': [[ThisIsGonnaSuck That can't be good.]]

-->'''Ryder''': Oh. So the "weird alien machine" is a generator.
-->'''Liam''': Yeah, sure, why wouldn't it be?

--> '''Ryder''': If I get eaten, even if it's hilarious, delete the vids.

** During one side mission, as an Easter egg, Ryder gets the option of trying a newly invented drink, resulting in a funny (and for this game, rather lengthy) cutscene of them dancing on tables, stealing Sloane's "throne" and being chastised by SAM. The sequence reveals that Ryder is actually a pretty good dancer - they just need to be drunk!

-->'''Ryder''': That's twice now I've [[spoiler:come back from the dead.]] Can't say the experience is improving.

'''Vetra:''' Your...'girl'?\\

-->'''Ryder:''' "Hey, I know how to not get us exalted - get us exalted!" You idiot.
* Some of the "irreverent" dialogue options for Ryder can generate some pretty corny jokes, such as a pun-filled discussion about how cold Voeld is that generates variations of "Kill me now" from squadmates.

* On a mission to get to an Angaran member of a xenophobic militia, you have to kill everyone in the base who tries to kill Ryder first, which is everyone there. When you finally find him, he chews Ryder out for killing every soldier under his command and dramatically declares himself dead, even though Ryder is simply trying to talk with him.

-->'''Cora:''' Peebee: you're "dead" because you were two minutes late to the evac point.\\
'''Peebee:''' [[StatingTheSimpleSolution I LIVE IN AN ESCAPE POD]].

-->'''Ryder''': "Let's split up"? Have you ''never'' watched a horror movie?\\
'''Liam''': Ten credits says she ends up in a pit of spikes.

-->'''Lexi''': Liam, you have a physical due. No excuses.\\
'''Liam''': Are you sure? I have so many good ones.\\
'''Cora''': I'll make sure he shows up, Lexi.\\
'''Lexi''': ''(pleasantly)'' Thank you, Cora. ''(immediately switches to serious)'' You're first, by the way.\\
'''Cora''': ''(under her breath)'' Shit.

-->'''Drack''': I think I left the stove on.
-->'''Cora''': Those reports aren't going to file themselves.
-->'''Liam''': Making ice.
-->'''Jaal''': It's an angaran holiday.
-->'''Vetra''': Helping Liam make ice.

-->'''Ryder''': [[BigNo NOOOO!]] He was so young... and... ''salarian!''

-->'''Kallo''': Ryder, I can't feel my gall bladder.
-->'''Ryder''': Do you even have a gall bladder?
-->'''Kallo''': Oh no! It's worse than I thought.

--->'''Peebee:''' ''(panting)'' What, Ryder? In here? But what if Jaal wakes up? Oh, screw it.\\

'''Peebee:''' Ha! I knew you were faking it!\\

-->'''Drack''': Sounds like a drink. "The Bam''booze''ler."
-->'''Vetra''': ''(laughs)'' I'd drink it!

-->'''Ryder''': What do you think the builders looked like?\\
'''Peebee''': Tall and glowy. Or short, round, and glowy.\\
'''Drack''': [[DeadpanSnarker So a radioactive volus]]?

-->'''Peebee''': '''IT'S MAKING BABIES!'''

-->'''Cora''': We are in a lot of trouble. We need [asari] experience and wisdom.\\
'''Peebee''': [[SarcasmMode Yay!]] [[MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch A bunch of old biddies]] [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath talking about stuff]].

-->'''Kalinda''': Listen, Peebee, no hard - ''(gets punched)'' Ow, fuck!\\
'''Peebee''': [[BondOneLiner Finally beat you to the punch]].

-->'''Drack''': What's with the smudge around the eyes? Trying to be some kind of superhero?\\
'''Peebee''': What's with all the bones? Trying to be some kind of super''villain''?\\
'''Drack''': [[BluntYes Yes.]]\\
'''Peebee''': ''(audibly impressed)'' Cooooooool!

-->'''Jaal''': Heroic efforts all around.

-->'''Jaal''': So this is how you all party? Pretty tame, [[NotSoAboveItAll but don't tell the host I said that]].

-->'''Jaal''': I'd rather have ice or sand through my crack than politicians.\\
'''Liam''': "Through your crack?" Is that a real thing or a failed attempt at human slang?\\
'''Jaal''': Fuck over.

-->'''Ryder''': Veh-sha-what?
-->'''Jaal''': ''Someone pleased with his own shit.''

-->'''Ryder''': To... learn.
-->'''Jaal''': Why not? *Ryder nods uncomfortably*

-->'''Suvi''': [[LampshadeHanging Okay, I just read this over and I feel like it could almost be taken as an insult, but I swear it's not.]]

* Gil's notes about how his crewmates play poker, which Gil admits to Ryder are fake and were written to get a rise out of people. (Though ''how'' fake is up for debate as some ambient dialogue between Gil and Vetra about the game suggests at least the part involving her is accurate.

-->'''Jaal''': I'd rather have sand or ice through my crack than deal with politicians.\\
'''Liam''': "Through my crack?" Is that some sort of euphemism or an attempt at human slang?\\

-->"Heroic efforts all around."

* On a mission to get to an Angaaran member of a xenophobic militia, you have to kill everyone in the base you tries to kill Ryder first, which is everyone there. When you finally find him, he chew Ryder out for killing every soldier under his command.

[[AC: [Peebee]]]

* After the first landing on Aya, you can overhear Drack and Vetra talking about meeting the angara. Drack remembers when mankind first appeared on the scene, and his initial thoughts: "Do they know they're mostly water?"

** It seems some angara might not be as bored, however; during your first visit, a female Ryder can hear an angara chiding her companion about calling Ryder "[[ItIsDehumanizing it]]"... And then telling him to [[MaleGaze stop staring at her.]]

** One of the videos the krogan are expected to watch is ''[[Film/CantHardlyWait Krant Hardly Wait]]'', which is about a krogan trying to romance a human girl. The writer feels the need to make an aside about [[Creator/FreddiePrinzeJr Vega Bull Jr.'s]] performance as the human girl's father and declares that he needs to be made an honorary krogan.

* Ryder is definitely also a graduate from the [[DrivesLikeCrazy Commander Shepard School of Driving]], judging many of his/her crew's comments.

I built another hot patch gun. [[SurroundedByIdiots You guys can fight over that one]].

'''Drack:''' Got the scars to prove it. *shows Lexi his arm*\\

* [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Drack laughs]]*

-->'''Vetra''': *laughs* I'd drink it!

--->'''Peebee:''' Heh. That's funny. *Ryder stares disapprovingly at her* Only it's horrible. But it's funny because that asshole's been looking in the wrong place.

'''Ryder:''' *chuckles*

-->'''Kallo:''' Kill. Me. Now.\\

*** The best part is that a generic bad guy theme starts playing every time his view screen pops up, [[MusicalisInterruptus and it abruptly stops when they disconnect.]]

-->'''Liam:''' This way. *opens a door*\\

* turret starts firing at the closed door*

'''Drack:''' Horses don't last long without air.

-->'''Ryder''': Oh. So the "Weird Alien Machine" is a generator.

-->'''Ryder''': Who knows. Let's call it a "Weird Alien Machine."
-->'''Ryder''': Another "Weird Alien Machine."

-->'''Ryder''': ''[[OhCrap Oh, Shit!]]''

** Deactivating the generator causes the damaged (and long-abandoned) portion of the ship to sheer off. Ryder has the option of helpfully pointing out to the captain that there is now a large gaping hole in her ship.

** Peebee appears to find the movie boring or relaxing; if she isn't in a romanced state, she seems to be almost falling asleep throughout.

-->'''Vetra:''' Small talk is, "nice weather," not, "did your elder shoot my grandpa?"

* One animation error that (as of early 2018) has not been fixed with a patch will see Ryder, during occasional dialogue sequences, rotate his or her head almost all the way around, which is both spooky in a Linda Blair/Exorcist fashion, but also funny as they continue their dialogue without missing a beat (or talking funny).

* One animation error that (as of early 2018) has not been fixed with a patch will see Ryder, during occasional dialogue sequences, rotate his or her head almost all the way around, which is both spooky in a Linda Blair/Exorcist fashion. but also funny as they continue their dialogue without missing a beat (or talking funny).

* Early versions of the game featured some pretty troublesome facial animations. One unintended result of this was to give Ryder an uncomfortable-looking smile which could be taken to accuratly describe her [[OhCrap feelings]] about [[YouAreInCommandNow becoming the Pathfinder.]]

** Afterwards you can talk to Drack on the Tempest and ask if the bar fight was supposed to be a ''date''; Drack will say that if it was, there would have been "less of an audience and a lot more property damage."

* Once the outpost on Eos is established, look directly south from where Ryder spawns when exiting the Tempest. There's a woman standing near the water, staggering around like someone who is drunk. Looking at her face in close-up (such as with a sniper rifle scope) reveals that she's definitely three sheets to the wind. It gets funnier each time you return to Eos and the same woman is still staggering around; there is no in-game reference to explain why she's like this.

* Ryder has the opportunity to dance on the Nexus -- and later does it at the celebration party on the Hyperion. The Shepard Shuffle returns!
