The Best GTA Memes

The popularity of GTA has led to the emergence of hundreds of memes based on it. They play on game conventions, plot points, and connections to other works. Most of them were quickly forgotten, but some are still used today. This article is dedicated to them.

The fickle rarity of cars

Cars in the Grand Theft Auto series of games appear according to their own algorithms. Sometimes it is problematic to find a specific car, because it simply does not appear on the streets of the city. And such a need may arise, for example, while completing tasks for the Sunshine Autos salon in Vice City. The irony is that when you find a car of the right brand, similar models begin to appear near you in huge quantities. This feature is characteristic of all three-dimensional GTA. It was encountered so often that it became a reason for jokes.

Cheat codes

Many players have entered cheats so often that they have remembered them forever. Memes play on the possibility of using codes in real life.

A gangster who can't swim from GTA: Vice City

Claude Speed ​​from the third Grand Theft Auto quickly drowned in water, but this fact did not bother many people. But Tommy Vercetti, who couldn't swim, caused a lot of jokes. The atmosphere of the resort Vice City motivated people not just to walk along the beach, but to dive into the sea from the nearest pier. Alas, such a desire ended with the death of the main character. Jokes about this are still found.

It is curious that other developers also decided to make fun of the fact that the main character of GTA: Vice City did not learn to stay on the surface of the water. The character Tommy Vermicelli appeared in Driv3r. He not only looked like the protagonist of the Rockstar game, but also wore a children's life jacket, which prevented him from drowning. It is worth noting that this is a kind of answer to the two-faced Tanner from GTA 3, who resembled the main character of the second "Driver".

Mission with a helicopter from GTA: Vice City

The Demolition Man task has become a real challenge for many players. We are offered to take control of a small helicopter, which is controlled remotely. With its help, you need to place four bombs inside an unfinished building. The situation is complicated by a timer for 7 minutes of real time, as well as guards who are trying to shoot down your aircraft.

But the problem is not even this, but in the extremely inconvenient control. The helicopter moves too sharply, which makes it difficult to maneuver between the walls of the room. Moreover, each bomb must be placed in a strictly designated place.

Back in 2002, there were some craftsmen who could complete this mission in a couple of minutes. However, in the minds of most, it remained unreasonably difficult. It is still associated with hardcore in games.

An example from personal experience. The author of these lines has a shirt that looks exactly like the one Tommy wore. Sometimes random people recognize it and even comment on it out loud. And they do not remember the dense atmosphere of the 80s, or the sunsets on the seashore, or even the traitor Lance. Every time, the guys mentioned the "mission with the helicopter."

Ah shit, here we go again from GTA: San Andreas

This phrase from the very beginning of the San Andreas story mode is translated as "Ah, shit, it all starts again." It is used when the situation resembles deja vu. For example, when the utility workers forgot, that there is snow in winter and you need to prepare for it in advance.

CJ's face, which shows different emotions

In 2022, new memes appeared featuring CJ. In them, he emotionally reacts to words in correspondence. As a rule, we are talking about ridiculous or strange dialogues, during which the main character of GTA: San Andreas portrays sincere indignation.

"Niko, it's your cousin. Let's go bowling!" from GTA 4

The fourth Grand Theft Auto expanded the possibilities for spending time with friends. This led to friends calling on their mobile phones and offering to go bowling or playing billiards. The idea was good, but such requests came too often. And each refusal spoiled the relationship with a friend. As a result, the phrase "Hey Niko! It's Roman, let's go bowling?" became synonymous with boring and annoying tasks in games.

On the other hand, when the cousin of the main HELEAL REMODED Helicopter pursuit, his calm voice and a “wonderful idea” to go to a strip club seemed really funny.

GTA 5 release on a variety of platforms

Initially, the fifth Grand Theft Auto was released on PS3 and Xbox 360, but later it was ported to next-generation consoles. Rockstar's desire to re-release GTA 5 on all existing platforms gives rise to other jokes.

"What have you done to Tommy Vercetti" from the GTA trilogy remaster

The Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy — The Definitive Edition collection disappointed many players. Instead of remakes, we got remasters, and of dubious quality. Tommy Vercetti looked especially strange, having become a bit plump. Fans decided that Don Corleone's line from The Godfather would be perfect for this situation: "Look how they massacred my boy".

Memes based on the sixth GTA

The release of the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer caused a wave of jokes. You can see the funniest of them below.
