''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V46KYxFav24 Mass Defect]]'' is a 27-minute, 45-second ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' ShortFilm by the late WebAnimation/Kitty0706, who also made ''Machinima/MomentsWithHeavy'' and ''WebVideo/ElliotGoesToSchool''.
It stars [[Franchise/MassEffect Commander John Shepard]] as he and his Normandy crew hijack what appears to be the Enterprise, kill everyone inside, build onto it, and claim it as his own. HilarityEnsues for an entire week.
Note that everything below [[ItMakesSenseInContext makes sense in]] [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext whatever context there is.]]

!!This video demonstrates the following tropes:
* AbnormalAmmo: [[VideoGame/HalfLife Gordon Freeman]] uses... watermelons.
* AbortedArc: Invoked as Elliot decides Thursday and its WholePlotReference to ''VideoGame/AmnesiaTheDarkDescent'' has gone on for too fucking long and moves onto Friday without fanfare.
* AffablyEvil: EDI.
* AIIsACrapshoot: Oh god, EDI. It's not necessarily striving to TakeOverTheWorld, but it is more-or-less the video's semi-antagonist, due to its abilities of annoying the hell out of people.
* AlienBlood: The furries have white blood... [[NauseaFuel for some reason]].
* AteHisGun: The cashier Heavy. Or at least, how Garrus imagines him.
* AtomicFBomb: After Shepard dies in ''VideoGame/JetSetRadio''.
* BaitAndSwitch: After [[spoiler:Shepard kills his doppelganger]], it says "THE END"..."OF SATURDAY".
* BloodyHilarious: When Shepard's lazily lying on the couch on Saturday, two sawblades come from the ceiling and start "shaving" him. We see a lot of blood and Shepard's face falling to the floor.
-->'''[[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy Eddy]]:''' You dropped your face! ''I'll get ya a new one!''
* BreakingTheFourthWall: TheStinger.
-->'''Elliot 2''': So, I'll expect [the video] uploaded by, uh...next week?
-->'''Elliot''': Actually, it's uploaded already. People are kinda watching it, like, right as we're speaking. They can see us. Like, wave to the camera. Look. HI! (waves to camera)
* ButtMonkey: Shepard and Garrus are this to EDI.
** Jacob is this to the rest of the crew. [[spoiler: Even his doppelganger gets used as a HumanShield by Fem!Shep.]]
* CameraAbuse: While celebrating their trip to the Citadel, the Normandy crew accidentally shoot the cameraman, [[VideoGame/Left4Dead2 Ellis.]]
-->'''Ellis''': Y'all know you shot me, right?
* CatchPhrase: Bill's brother has "COCK EATER!"
* TheChewToy: Garrus. He gets molested by EDI, Joker farts on his pillow and gives him pinkeye, and he gets shot trying to pay for milk for Shepard.
* ClusterFBomb:
-->'''Bill's brother''': Fuck you, motherfucker! Come back here so I can fucking kill your fucking ass!
* DeadHandShot: At the start of the video, [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext a Heavy riding a bike through space crashes into an astronaut]], and the astronaut's severed hand floats by as the title appears.
** Apparently it was made to mirror the cover of ''VideoGame/DeadSpace''.
* DeadpanSnarker: EDI.
* DeathIsCheap: Almost everybody dies and then comes back to life. [[spoiler:Comes back in the end for a TearJerker wallop when Shepard is KilledOffForReal.]]
* DisneyAcidSequence: Party Time.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext The Heavy riding a bike through space, crashing into an astronaut]], Joker driving the spaceship, and Fido.
* ExplosiveDecompression: Parodied. As for [[spoiler:Bill's brother]], he simply just suddenly die before [[NoBodyLeftBehind leaving nothing]] but [[ToiletHumor a fart cloud]]. This is later averted in some scenes [[spoiler:including Shepard's death]], however.
* FingerGun: Shepard employs these when dealing with [[spoiler: his doppelganger.]]
* GatlingGood: Jacob uses a helicopter operated by two Heavys with this type of gun to take out a horde of furfags.
* GunsAkimbo: How Shepard kills [[spoiler:Bill,]] and his finger pistols against the doppelgangers.
* GunsAreWorthless: When Shepard fires at Bill, his shots do virtually nothing. [[spoiler:Then he puts in a thermal clip.]]
** Also, after Shepard's [[Main/GenderSwap clone]] fires several shots at him with plasma rifles and with him firing his finger pistols at her as [[Main/ATeamFiring they both miss each other completely]], they drop their guns and resort to a fist fight.
* TheHeroDies
* HeroicComedicSociopath: Shepard does not care a bit about what happens to anyone else, even his teammates. He ignores Jacob's calls for help when the furries are attacking, and doesn't even notice when Liara gets thrown out the airlock.
* HumanShield: [[spoiler: Shepard's doppelganger uses a clone of Jacob as one.]] Unsurprisingly, he is killed in a matter of seconds.
* JiveTurkey: Jacob.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Shepard at the end.]]
** It's safe to assume that [[spoiler: Liara, Garrus, and Jacob]] are this as well, since they're dead the last time we see them.
* LargeHam: Shepard has his moments.
** '''''"OH! HERE'S THE JAAAAM!"'''''
* LeftHanging: [[spoiler:''Mass Defect'' ends with an unsubtle SequelHook in the form of Joker dropping a box of Shepard's remains on [[VideoGame/Portal2 Wheatley]][='s=] desk.]] Because of Colin's passing in 2015, the odds of a follow-up are extremely low.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: When an Amnesia grunt [[NeckSnap twists Shepard's head 180 degrees]], he simply says "Ow."
* MundaneMadeAwesome: Garrus thinks that buying milk is going to be this, due to the cashier being a [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Heavy]]. [[spoiler: His fears turn out to be unfounded, however.]]
* MusicalEpisode: Sunday (at least for a bit).
* NeckSnap: Shepard suffers this fate by a [[VideoGame/AmnesiaTheDarkDescent grunt]]. [[DeathIsCheap He gets better]].
* NerdGlasses: Shepard wears a pair during Sunday... until the party time gets crashed by the duo of Italian-American hoodlums, [[VideoGame/Mafia2 Joe and Vito]].
* NoSell: An attack by Franchise/WinnieThePooh doesn't even faze Jacob.
-->'''Jacob''': Think I even feel that weak-ass shit?
* PaletteSwap: Bill's brother is the exact same as him but he wears a red shirt.
* PrimalScene: In one scene, Shepard catches Liara cheating on him with Garrus.
* RedShirt: Bill's brother. [[FridgeBrilliance Fittingly]], [[PaletteSwap he actually does wear a red shirt]].
* RunningGag: When Shepard uses EDI, it will often be interrupted by a laughing [[{{VideoGame/Uncharted}} Nathan Drake]].
* SelfDeprecation: TheStinger, in which "Elliot 2" complains about how long the video was and how long it took to finish it.
* ShoutOut: Geez, where to begin?
** The DeadHandShot in the beginning is an intentional ShoutOut to ''VideoGame/DeadSpace''.
** The ship used by Bill and his brother is the [[Franchise/StarTrek Enterprise.]]
** EDI has the same face as [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas the Yes-Man.]]
** When Shepard tries to pause Amnesia, the computer responds with "[[Film/JurassicPark Ah, ah, ah. You didn't say the magic word.]]"
** At the beginning of Wednesday, Shepard and EDI (with the help of a cameo by King Harkinian) recite the opening of ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDiGames Link: The Faces of Evil.]]''
** Immediately after that, the Batman transition wipe is used with Shepard's face.
** The furry army consists of Franchise/WinnieThePooh, [[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM Sally Acorn]], [[VideoGame/StarFox Krystal]], and [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Wolf Link]].
** The [[VideoGame/AmnesiaTheDarkDescent Grunts]] who act sophisticated but get back into character when Shepard reveals his presence are evocative of the Tediz surgeons from ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay''.
** Shepard ends up in a car chase with [[VideoGame/{{Mafia}} Joe Barbaro and Vito Scaletta]], with [[VideoGame/GrandTheftautoIV Roman Bellic]] getting a quick word in.
* StuffBlowingUp
* SuddenDownerEnding: [[spoiler:In which [[TheHeroDies Shepard dies]]. What makes it even worse is that Joker's desperate cry [[SayMyName "COMMANDER!"]] can be heard echoing as his corpse floats through space.]]
* TemptingFate: When everyone except for a Scout is gunned down by a truck that Shepard is driving, he says "Hehe", of course prompting the truck to come back and finish him off.
* ToiletHumor: When Shepard's [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments having a hard time on the porcelain throne (he's screaming)]]. Later, [[BrickJoke we actually see that he FELL ASLEEP on the toilet.]]
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: See DeathIsCheap.
* ThrownOutTheAirlock: [[spoiler: Bill's brother's first death.]]
* VerbalBusinessCard: EDI introduces itself using one.
-->'''EDI''': My name's EDI. [[BuffySpeak I'm an awesome computer thingy, that does stuff.]]
* WackySoundEffect: Elliot's sound design is rife with these, as per his SignatureStyle.
