Mass Effect: 10 Garrus Memes That Don’t Need Calibrations

Garrus the turian from the Mass Effect series is one of the most popular characters of the franchise. He is one of the few companions to stick by Shepard for all three titles of the trilogy, and he is also just a fun friend. For those who play female Shepards, they can also romance Garrus by the second game, and he is known to be one of the most popular romance-able characters in all of Biowares' RPG games.

With his popularity comes fan art, fan fiction, and memes. There are a lot of inside jokes when it comes to Mass Effect and Garrus in particular. Here are ten memes about this celebrity turian.

10 In The Middle Of Calibrations

The biggest inside joke when it comes to Garrus is his love of calibrations. This all started in the second game after he joins Shepard's crew. The doesn't really talk much unless its about his personal quest or afterwards for his romance. Until then, if Shepard asks to talk to him he asks them to wait because he is in the middle of some calibrations.

A lot of players loved Garrus, they tried to talk to him a lot and got this reaction over and over. It is quite meme worthy.

9 Fall In Love With Shepard

The romance between Garrus and Shepard is very wholesome. He loves and supports her with a happy and open-minded attitude. Unlike a lot of other Bioware romances, he doesn't bring much drama to the table. Of course he has his worries, but he never lets that get in the way of what he sets out to do.

This meme typically makes fun of something not going to plan, however this version adds the twist that Garrus is excited to jump into the unknown with Shepard.

8 The Council

Garrus is one of Shepard's first alien companions in the first game. He used to work for C-Sec and is willing to help Shepard convince the Council of the oncoming Reaper threat. This meme is a goofy interpretation  of what happened.

The Council do not believe Shepard and is the beginning to Garrus despising the political system.

7 Archangel

Reuniting with Garrus in Mass Effect 2 is epic and is not so far off from Thor reuniting with Hulk in this meme. Garrus becomes a vigilante and makes a ton of enemies under the name of Archangel. Shepard joins gangs to get to Archangel and it is not until Shepard gets to him that they realize Archangel is none other than their good friend Garrus. It is one of the most pleasant twists of the game.

6 Shepard With Garrus

Bioware actually never planned to have Garrus be romance-able, and that is why he wasn't available as a romance yet in the first game. IT was due to his popularity in the first game that made the team decide to make him a romance option. This meme is solid proof of how popular he was in the first game.

Another inside joke among fans is that everyone wanted to romance the aliens, but most alien options weren't introduced until after the first game when Bioware realized what fans really wanted.

5 Rose And Garrus

An ongoing joke among many fandoms is how fans might grow up and name their kids after video game, film, and anime characters. This goes for Mass Effect too! Garrus is not the oddest name at least. You can find it on baby naming website.

However, the full name of Garrus Vakarian All Round Turian Bad Boy may get some looks.

4 "I Love Him"

This meme from The Office is popularly used for problematic characters. In this case though, it is a scenario between Shepard and the leader of Omega. The asari, Aria, wants Archangel dead because he is ruining the organized crime. Little does she know that Shepard and Archangel are long-time buddies.

3 Thinking About Garrus

Due to Bioware, many gamers have already met their perfect partner. Too bad they aren't real. However, it does give everyone someone to aim for. There are certainly some human Garrus's out there.

Part of what makes Garrus so popular a romance is that he is adorkable. He is awkward and that feels real when a human and alien are trying out an inter-species relationship.

2 The Romance

Most Garrus memes are in relation to his popular romance. Due to his popularity, people who play male Shepard have been disappointed that Garrus can only be romanced by female Shepard.

A lot of fans like the first game the least not only because its mechanics and graphics are pretty different, but the romance options are lacking and the only options are Kaiden, Liara, and Ashley. Liara is pretty popular though.

1 Alien Collector

In Mass Effect 1, not all the characters trusted aliens. That was funny though, because Shepard recruits a ton of aliens the moment they get command of the ship. Garrus in particular was a touchy subject for some humans since he was turian and humans and turians had the First Contact war.

In every game, there are companions that don't get along and sometimes its for race. For example, Tali and Legion definitely had racial tensions.
