Let's not forget Barry at 4:14 his picture lights up for a second, goes out while he continues speaking, and then comes back once he starts the next sentence.
Donald's journey, from punching a reporter to experiencing empathy for the first time to death by geth sniper, was quite the emotional rollercoaster. Another great episode!
I normally hate AI videos but this is currently my favorite series on UA-cam. The writing for all of the characters is fantastic. The overlapping is actually smooth, and the Mass Effect lore is translated perfectly. As well as other pop culture references. I'm legitimately impressed by a genre I usually find cringe and lazy.
I quite frankly don’t think I’ve ever been so impressed with a series of videos quite like the character building and effort put into the presidents and mass effect. Like you’ve literally created characters out of these guys. It’s so impressive and I can’t wait to see where it all goes from here. Like everyone has been saying tho take your time with them. I’ll take quality over how fast you can deliver these videos any day of the week 👍🏼
But like they said, she completely ignores Tali and isn't talking about her here. Ashley was wrong and sexist. Concentrating on just the male aliens was a fail. The dudes had shit to do.
@@PhoenixDawnX77 Ashley said that if the Council's backs were against the wall, they'd throw Humanity under the bus to try and save themselves. They do exactly that in Mass Effect 3, only helping Humanity after having Humanity's best soldier spend months doing menial tasks that would, in the long run, not have saved them had they not eventually helped. If you actually bother to think about what Ashley actually says, you'd see she had very valid concerns that people only overlook and dismiss because the characters are fictional and we know how things really end.
@@randomlyentertaining8287 if I recall, every council race helps Earth in ME3 and he even got Krogan help. I mean, the Turians and Asari got WRECKED and they still helped (Asari not visible, but they're still in your assets). Ashley was wrong. Now of course you have to do shit to get their minds off their planets, but Earth would've been the same way if hit last, like the Salarians. You look at Ashley comments as shallow as she made them. She was wrong about the council races and sexist for looking at the dudes doing shit, instead of the Quarian all up in engineering stealing shit, getting you to steal more shit for her, and expressing happiness at getting a chance to steal shit. 😂 Shepard even admits he'd be just like the council races if Earth wasn't hit first. You ask people to help you without doing shit, you're just a beggar or Batarian.
You say menial tasks. What you were asked to do: secure a trade for the last Krogan who has genophage cure traces and made fertile (was a few but ended up being ONE), dispatch a doomsday bomb planted centuries ago that would have wrecked the already wrecked Krogan and ended any chance for alliance, go search Rachni reports and found reapers had bioengineered the number one enemy (my playthroughs I've always spared the Rachni, but they're your number one enemy and the reapers made them a ton worse with the cannon), cured genophage, went to top secret labs on Thessia to try to find what catalyst is to try to end the war, when proven to be uber competent and determined. If that's what you call menial, I would love to see what a real task would be to you.
I never knew I needed to see donald caring about a character, could it be that his heart Is growing more and more each episode? Or is the McDonald's induced fever talking
It was Donald who died first, but come on, he didn't have half of his teammates. I still remember the time I realized both my teammates were consistently getting stuck behind the door at Grissom Academy and I was trying to solo the entire Cerberus army on Insanity lol. It makes a big difference.
Just want to say I understand how time consuming these gameplay videos are to make and I appreciate you making quality content for our enjoyment mystery person.
Lol figures that Barack is being a wet blanket when it came to the Smash or Pass. As if its ever a wonder why he doesn’t get invited to do the fun tier lists😂
I'm absolutely loving this series. BTW I was cheering for BarDonJoe to punch Khalisa al-Jilani. Don't worry Barack, the audience supports the punch. Reputation intact... in fact, improved!!!
I'm pretty sure when the Admiral says "billions", he means "hundreds of billions". The Zumwalt-class destroyer, the most advanced naval vessel currently in service, cost 4 billion a piece. If credits and dollars are exactly the same (though I imagine credits would be worth more), then we could build 30 of them for the cost of just the Normandy's element zero core. This is also the first time I've actually seen Nassana's little charade. By this time, I've usually found out the truth.
One way to break the romance tie is to pick someone else in a later game. Also, keep up the great work. I have never watched an AI president full playthrough and it's a thrill. Also, thanks for having Barak explain the world building. The Mass Effect universe is one of video game's greatest treasures.
Congratulations. You’ve inspired me to pause my 1st playthrough of Hogwarts Legacy on PS5 so I can go through this game again for the umpteenth time. What’s funny: I have an unfinished save of a Sentinel Bro-Shep stuck on Theros, because I didn’t spend my points properly and I’m an Assault Rifle fan. I was on my 1st Insanity run and kept getting killed by the Krogan in the tunnels on the water fetch quest. Guess I need to start a new Shep and pull a Donny T with the shotty. Thanks for the motivation to start again and save the galaxy as a Sentinel. Good luck, and happy hunting Mr. Presidents!
@@Chino56751 Not our playthrough, we don't get to decide what does and doesn't count, Prime Radiancy does, and they aren't counting glitches. Not a difficult concept to grasp.
Another amazing video, you're truly the best at these. Also, my vote is to romance Liara because I have a Kaidan bias and I think it'd be funny to see Donald's reaction to Ashley being left on Virmire 😂
This series is absolutely amazing. I don't think I made it 30 seconds into the video before I busted out laughing at the quality of the dialogue writing, it's seriously so good. Can't wait for more of these! Keep up the great work!
Ashey ftw. Screw Liara as she is the forced love interest Bioware pushes to be overall important. Ash feels more real in how not all relationships are perfect yet it takes work and time for things to bloom.
Also, I mostly agree what Barak said about the smash or pass vid, but why mention the handlebars thing? It doesn't seem unlikely that some of them would be into it, and it's not some vile thing like the husks.
In ME2 we can find out from EDI after the collectors attack that it was Cerberus idea before they officially went rogue. They wanted to spy on turian ship designs and command strategies while bolstering alliance. Thats one of the reason why they managd to rebuild Normandy .
Absolutely loving this series. I just started playing ME for the first time last month and this series is helping to build my hype towards the end of ME3
I wanted something different when I looked for Mass Effect videos. This IS definitely different :D As a fan of geopolitics humor this brings me endless joy, especially when the presidents bicker between themselves and the pettier the better. I like the casual Sleepy Joe, who tries to be fair to all sides, The Don who is full of himself and wants things done only his way and the tryhard Barack "Barry" who is an educated nerd and pedantic to annoyance.
Loving this series so far, I hope to see it continue onwards evermore from here, especially after I only recently played through a good amount of the mass effect series.
Another great episode guys I love the banter. I would like to hear your set up of armor weapon mods and what you consider good/bad. Can't wait to see the tower defense next episode. If there is a romance vote coming up I vote for Tali; Liara is a mery sue and Ashley is Ashley.
I just subscribed. This is one of my all time favorite game series and I love ai presidents content. Looking forward to catching up on previous episodes.
At 5:07 and for a bit, like before the transition to Joker, it’s Obama talking but Trump is lighting up.
Little oopsie, but not that big of a deal.
27:53
Let's not forget Barry at 4:14 his picture lights up for a second, goes out while he continues speaking, and then comes back once he starts the next sentence.
literally nothing
Hey man let's all eat cheesecake while we enjoy the boys play a great game
"I'm about to show you what color YOUR blood is if you don't get out my way."
Damn.... AI Donald should write the renegade options for the next game.
This format has no business being as entertaining as it is
"Here's Kaiden aggravating his migraine by starting directly into a bright screen" 💀
Dammit!! I can't hear those kind of things & be on gummies while doing so. It's too good. 😂😂😂
Here’s to a New Year and the continuation of Bardonjoe Shepard becoming the absolute rizz lord of the galaxy.
"Thankfully my name isn't jabob taylor"
Proceeds to get sniped*
Bro is an absolute legend for using their amazing writing talent to appeal to such a specific audience. This series is cooking.
My theory is Joe is a glitch hunter and is gonna skate by everything until grissom
And he'll somehow glitch his way through Grissom Academy and beat it on the first try.
Can't push myself to restart the orig trig for 6th time but you're making it easy to watch.
This is lowkey one of the best combinations of Mass Effect fandom, AI, comedy and great storytelling. Tuning in every episode!
Donald "not caring" about Talitha while Joe and Barack stand is awe is peak pure.
Donald's journey, from punching a reporter to experiencing empathy for the first time to death by geth sniper, was quite the emotional rollercoaster.
Another great episode!

facts
You should try watching Krucial's AI Presidents.
I hate the actual presidents but I love these characters
This and Shreebs zomboys are my favorite series RN
Joe: Maybe the geth isn’t as dumb as we thought
Also the Geth: moonwalking pointing his gun the opposite way. 🤣
I can't tell you how much I look forward to these videos. It's like seeing old friends hah. Thank you!
It’s weird I’ve grown to like these versions of the politicians lol
PrimeRadiancy do telltale walking dead season 2 episodes rank
Joe feeling the hype and clowning on Donald for dying first will always be peak comedy. Bro had me feeling the hype too!
I'm less than a minute in and already laughing at Trumps "I am not losing a popular vote for a third time" lmao
I think u should romance both Liara and Ashley to make that Awkward moment where u have to choose one of them
Based.
Then Donald can screw up his Ashley romance by asking them "can't I have you both?" lmao
@@erins8671 Ha ha ha...
Ashley is the better option. We all know.
Best case scenario, the route ends up going Liara, Tali, Kaiden to make the ME3 Normandy so awkward the Reapers won't want to find it.
@@tarsier8261🤣
No one ever mentions that the quarians somehow gets the Normandy cloaking technology for their admiral ship. Ashley was right
But like they said, she completely ignores Tali and isn't talking about her here. Ashley was wrong and sexist. Concentrating on just the male aliens was a fail. The dudes had shit to do.

Daddy Donald knows the art of the deal! Hes gonna get his Ash! (Love this play through man, you’re doing phenomenal)
I never knew I needed to see donald caring about a character, could it be that his heart Is growing more and more each episode? Or is the McDonald's induced fever talking
i love when Joe screams "lets f**king go!" when Trump dies (as shep)
19:43 Shepard is Lebron James, Conrad Verner is Rihanna, and Conrad's wife is ASAP Rocky.
"Liara and I will win this alone"
Liara:☠️
The "Barrack finding out about the smash or pass" joke had me rolling 😂😂😂. Ill continue to watch anything u put out bro.
Legitimately look forward to these videos. Amazing content! Also, “I am absolutely not losing the popular vote a third time” had me dying
Because will absolutely loose it. No way Ashley gets majority.
Aged well that one :)
That medicine debate 😂
Wild how many bugs you've had already on this run.
Enjoying your writing and attention to detail for each of the characters
It was Donald who died first, but come on, he didn't have half of his teammates. I still remember the time I realized both my teammates were consistently getting stuck behind the door at Grissom Academy and I was trying to solo the entire Cerberus army on Insanity lol. It makes a big difference.
The "I remember me" little quest was so hard hitting. One of the many great things in ME1 story
BarDonJoe Shepard like “Gun Pow to the dome and split the bone”

I've fallen into a rabbit hole with this channel that I wasn't expecting.
I thought these videos would become too long but the content is so entertaining that time just flies by. Keep it up!
I’m a simple guy, I see presidents discussing/playing Mass Effect, I like the video.
Donald got roasted harder that the Werloc Clan Speaker

Hardly. Joe died first- glitch or not
@@Chino56751 Glitches don't count
@@highlordlaughterofcanada8685 It was still a death. It counts

18:50 LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO shit made me chuckle. The name reminded me of it too, but trump saying that is so unexpected.
"They don't deserve to live much less rent free in someone's head" made me pause till i stopped laughing. Whoever wrote that deserves a free dinner
The only series that actually makes me hype when I see it pop up
My face lights up with honest-to-god giddiness when I see a notification for these vids. Your art is invaluable, sir.
If anything I just love this series because of the cool mass effect trivia I get to learn.
And just as I was sitting down to dinner, it's like you knew I needed some quality entertainment, thank you good sir!
Fr keep making these for all 3 games I love watching them
I try to tell people this is peak content and they don’t believe me, love each episode
This series is absolutely amazing. I don't think I made it 30 seconds into the video before I busted out laughing at the quality of the dialogue writing, it's seriously so good. Can't wait for more of these! Keep up the great work!
the slave mission with Talitha never fails to make me tear up. I absolutely love this series and all the emotions it triggers in us
10/10 episode once again, best series imaginable
Primeradiency uploads and a cigarette in the mouth. Perfect combo.
God, I love Mass Effect 1. Top tier world building and I love its vibe.
Just started playing ME1 for the thousandth time thanks to these videos 😂
This series gives me a reason to live. Peak content!
35:23 we know from shadowbroker dlc that geth can play video games so this one is probably Anivia main
Always a good day when the presidents upload
This is what AI SHOULD be used for
Series is good asf, I go back and watch individual episodes after watching the whole thing during a road trip lmaooo. Keep it up my G
Lets go babyyyyy!! The best playtrough in the galaxy is back!
Ashey ftw. Screw Liara as she is the forced love interest Bioware pushes to be overall important. Ash feels more real in how not all relationships are perfect yet it takes work and time for things to bloom.
This has easily been my fav series, im doing a 2nd playthrough (insanity ofc).
Found this series roughly when i started it, you guys are great
Another banger ep, keep the Obama trivia coming
10:22 You can actually talk to Shepard's mom in 1 and 3 if you choose the spacer background, and get an email from her in 2.

11:21 genius.
Your writing is honestly really good!
The greatest UA-cam series out there.
good stuff man, take your time with these, they are worth it.
Hahaha Donald was the first to die. I loved the tension of that whole battle.
Way to go, Joe, for not dying first!
Surprised Donald didn't freak out about Turians Co-Building the Normandy.
In ME2 we can find out from EDI after the collectors attack that it was Cerberus idea before they officially went rogue. They wanted to spy on turian ship designs and command strategies while bolstering alliance. Thats one of the reason why they managd to rebuild Normandy .
This shepherd is going to be the most confusing, morally ambiguous character ever
Happy to see another video. Now we patiently wait for episode 5
Absolutely loving this series. I just started playing ME for the first time last month and this series is helping to build my hype towards the end of ME3
I was checking out the previus playthrough so this was great timing 🤣.
