I always loved how Joker seemed to get more excited for these calls the more you disconnected them. Even in ME3 he’s got a line something like “You want me to call the council and hang up on them for old time’s sake?”
If you kill the Rachni queen on Noveria, the Turian counsellor asks Shepard if he finds pleasure on commiting genocide. Renegade Shepard says "Depends on the species, turian." One of my favorite renegade lines ever.
Honestly what I don't get and I'll admit that it's a massive plot hole is that they say asari can link minds and share memories etc (paraphrasing here) but in ME1 the Asari Councillors couldn't even bother to verify Sheps report with the vision yet Liara is able to?
I'm discovering Mass Effect 1 thanks to the Legendary Edition (already played ME2 and ME3)... I have to admit that disconnecting the meeting with Council is by far the cherry on the top the sequel are missing.
Fun fact: Councilor Sparatus, the Turian guy, is voiced by Alastair Duncan, who also voiced none other than our fav Senator who couldve gone Pro in College Ball if he hadn't join the Navy Senator Steeveeen Armstrong
CHIAHAKWMYM: When even the Council, wants T'Pol off the ship. In a hotel. [SHE FUCKS HER ON LEAVE TO COVER UP WHAT WAS SAID. THIS WAS THE RAPE OF HER PROMISED, AND IT's A CONSENSUAL ACT OF SEX SHE DID TO HERSELF, BECAUSE JUST MAKING A JOKE WOULD HAVE ENDED CHIAHAKWMYM's NEED TO KILL HER FOR DECADES.] Phew. [SAYS IT TO HER IN FRONT OF THE CREW.]
COUNCIL: Disconnect us again and we might see to you. CHIAHAKWMYM: Oh. Would I finally be assimilated, after you saw to me? [THEY ARE DONE RIGHT THERE.]
You know, when I played through mass effect the first time I thought the initial doubts the council had were reasonable. The Saren investigation was set up to fail, sure but given the situation and the nature of a specter's job, I assumed they had an off the records investigation going on. When I find out they didn't I think "alright standard ignorance from politicians". I understood their skepticism of Liara. She's an unknown archeologist looking into the Protheans and she's the daughter of an Asari matriarch working with Saren. I enjoyed reading the codex so letting the Rachni queen seemed like a good move; since her story of the reapers and their sour notes made sense. I was done with councils bullshit after the thorian. You motherfuckers your entire society is built on Prothean technology, you should know that Prothean beacons can impart knowledge! Saren talked about the reapers before Shepard started chasing him! Saren could not fool that many Geth with simple organic charisma! YOU SAW HIS CYBERNETIC ENCHANMENTS! And yet I still saved them, the ungrateful shits.
**ME1** The Council: A Race of sentient, all-powerful machines are coming to wipe the galaxy of all life? Haha good one commander. Me: Your skepticism is understandable, even I find it pretty crazy, but we’ll have proof sooner or later. **ME2** The Council: The Reaper? Oh, you mean that geth ship? Lmao I thought you were joking about that. Me: Dude, no way in hell was that just a geth ship, I even have a Geth RIGHT BEHIND ME that says its not a Geth ship, but ok. **ME3** The Council: Were too busy to help you, come back later. Me: Bruh.

Probably would have been funnier if disconnect was the only option
you can actually sense that Joker is holding back his laughter
The last one has the same energy as: "I don't like that hill, Private!" "Understood, Sergeant!"
Who created the sovereigns again
Leviathan
the "you know it!" has charmed me for a life time. i use it myself as often as possible.
I love how Joker just fully supports it.
Everyone hates the council.
Joker definitely enjoys this lol
Oops Effect
This is my Guilty pleasure 😂😂😂
lkolololl
That moment you get to indulge your inner dickhead!
a morg!!
*Everyone liked that*
I never did this cause I wanted to be on their good side. Thank you
I love how you can hear how much Joker loves doing this in the tone of his voice. Like he's just barely trying to be professional.
The council deserves it for not taking Shepard seriously
Ah yes, the council. A group of people sorely existing to be cut off by Shepard. We have dismissed that claim.
They trully deserved no less. Honestly, making them not believing you in ME2 only to force you to work with Cerberus was stupid.
I always renegades them lol.
shame Shepard didnt have a shock button to go with the disconnect ,the council needs some shocking news
Joker playing along is amazing lmao, best bro.
this is fken hilarious LMAO
You know the Council is desperate when Shepard can get away with doing THIS to them.
Mass Effect is a serious game about serious business.
LOL 1:02 😂 Asri council: Commander. Do not cut me off like last time. I failed to find it amusing. Shepard: Whoops! Joker: And we're out!
If I had played mass effect 1, I would have let the council get destroyed by Sovereign.
A funny running gag
Don't exactly leave on everyone there's a mismatch for an itch stream addict cargo this bitch it's Fitz scar widow shirts.
Shepard was always a chad
imagine how many lives a little bodycam could've saved XDDDDDDD
They would still deny it, lets be fair.

No wonder they refused to help Earth XD

That explains why Collective Consciousness plays every time he is on screen.

COUNCIL OF 4: It's up to you if you're smart enough to listen. CHIAHAKWMYM: Oh, a rape threat. That could be sexy. [WENT THERE. DOES THEM ALL.]
COUNCIL: Disconnect us again and we might see to you. CHIAHAKWMYM: Oh. Would I finally be assimilated, after you saw to me? [THEY ARE DONE RIGHT THERE.]
The only reason you should save the council in ME1 is the bonus war assets you get in 3
You forgot the best disconnect, when Joker cuts off the Ascension and lets the Council die. One last glorious disconnect

curious if you can be a dick to the council, but still get the best ending.
Bro I thought it would just end the conversation, I didnt know it had an entire branch!! FUCK so many missed opportunities!!
I like how the last conversation doesn't let you disconnect the council immediately like "Aight bro, we need to get the story rollin'."
The best part about this is Joker's voice actor chuckling.
Joker lives up to his namesake
I love the hedge of "highly possible".

RIP to this series. I'm glad I was able to experience this saga of gaming as a child.
This "You know it" is the best - why does council even bother if they already have all the reports from Shepard's missions?
