Mordin Sings Scientist Salarian

[ONNIHOLTTA]

LOL awesome!

[Garrus1995]

I love how awkward everything seems after he's done singing.

[Kinkotibbar]

his voice is slower and his words are much clearer. maybe if he sang instead of spoke sheperd would understand him more.

[dileepvr]

That tune is from the Chemistry song by Tom Lehrer!

[TheUberYout]

Mordin Solist

[ShadeCrenshaw]

Y WAS THERE NO "CLAP" or "LAUGH" or "COMPLIMENT" OPTION!?

[SinDawg030]

Salarians are made of pure win

[KjcKiesh]

Hold on, mix Mordin and Captain Kirrahe and what do u get?

"We are the very models of the soldiering salarians,

We've killed many a speicies including the Batarians

We're not the very best but ok that is perfectly fine,

Just do your bit towards the cause and oh yes we will hold the line!

Our geneophages range from Krogan to maybe the Turians,

We are the very models of the soldiering Salarians!"

[Mafia200100]

@KjcKiesh Personally, I'd prefer if we just get the job done and go home.

[grandtheftcoconut]

I am so making this my ringtone.

[MisterMortarious]

Maaan! Demon-Shep!

[georgespooo]

and then the singers come in.

He is the very model of a scientist salarion!!

[RogueKnight24]

Dude... I thought Dr. Chakwas told you to chill off a bit... :P

[psychozo]

shame they have not re-cast Michael Beattie VA for Mordin Solus

[BBoy2020]

Your Shephard looks like a zombie.

[Gomeshock]

I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite Salarian on the Citadel.

[Halo1138]

I want to see Mordin as Polonius! That would have been something to watch!

[Draconilian]

+1 for TVTROPES!!

[zoebiflap]

BIG LIPPED ALLIGATOR MOMENT!

[Silkorvelvet]

@zoebiflap HAHA, glad to see another nostalgia chick/critic fan right here ;)

[Robertpianosax]

if this guy was my bio/chem teacher I would be doing amazing

[AliceJasperfan]

....EPIC!

[Gecko7291971]

Note the awkward silence after Mordin finishes singing

[Kiro0]

His cough at the end is hilarious.

[satoshimiwa]

*akwkard cough*

[furrybeastattack]

Mordin is the funniest character by a mile XD

[supermarvboy]

I AM THE VERY MODEL OF A SCIENTIST SALERIAN

I'VE STUDYED SPECTURS, TURIANS, ASARI AND BARTARIAN

I'M QUITE GOOD AT GINETICS (AS A SUBJECT OF BIOLIGY)

BECAUSE I AM A EXPERT (WHICH I KNOW IS A TAUTOLOGY

MY XENOSCIENCE STUDIES RANGE FROM URBAN TO AGRARIAN. I AM THE VERY MODEL OF A SCIENTIST SALARIAN!

[186mjn]

@supermarvboy It's not "SPECTURS,...". It's "spieces,...".

[supermarvboy]

@186mjn i know i noticed it when i posted it lol

[186mjn]

@supermarvboy That's okay. It happens to me all the time.

[supermarvboy]

@186mjn ok mate :)

[toadofsteel]

If you want everyone to survive, aside from making all the upgrades and making everyone loyal, you need to do the following:

Vents: Tali, Legion, or Kasumi

Both fire teams: Miranda (she can do this even if non-loyal), Garrus, or Jacob

Bubble: Samara, Morinth, or Jack

For both your final team and the escort: your "squishies" (Mordin, Jack, Tali, Kasumi)

Hold the line: Make sure that you have Garrus, Grunt, AND Zaeed all in place. Adding Jacob, Thane, and Legion also helps.

Everyone should live.

[afroman47100]

I've never heard Mordin use complete sentences before. 

[ooaaveehoo]

Sounds like Tom Lehrer :D

[186mjn]

@ooaaveehoo That's because Tom Lehrer used the tune "Modern Major General" from Gilbert and Sullivan for his song "The Elements".

[DrunkenMidget90]

best character in mass effect 2

[matt06830]

Respond to this video...

[ngilford1]

Mordin died in my ending and i don't know why. Hearbroken :'(

[GringoKiller0813]

@ngilford1 I had the same problem! I had everyone's loyalty and make the right choices an he still died. The problem is that you have to send a "low health skills" to excort the crew to the Normandy, can be Mordin, Tali o Legion (I send Mordin) and leave the "Powerhouses" to defend the doors" like Grunt, Zaed, Garrus, Thane.. leave Grunt and Zaed.

That was my choices

Team Leader: Garrus

Tech Expert: Tali

Squad: Miranda & Thane

Excort: Mordin

2nd Team Leader: Jacob

Final Squad: Garrus & Thane

[TheTopKnite]

@ngilford1 You probably had his as the tech expert, I think the only ones able to pass that are Tali and Legion (maybe Kasumi if you have DLC)

[MarcoBartoliFR]

Best than the FR version :3

[silverdragon147]

pause at 0:42 he looks like a terminator 

[silverdragon147]

i'm a bad person i kept replaying that song like 20 times before i moved on, it was a damn good song.

[UltrarubikXD]

Mass Effect Musical... NAO

[Uruya6]

I demand a full-on broadway musical number sung by Mordin in Mass Effect 3. Demand, I say!!

[lightnessss]

wow is it the face when you choose the dark side ?

nice XD

[Samurialotis]

i so hope bioware might do a full version of this

[SoaringSpartan]

Shepard: Oh god... you are so leading the distraction team...

[A7XRules4life]

What I wonder about is that Mordin is almost 40 but still gonna be in ME3 unless ME3 takes place right after ME2.

[GSSAGE7]

@A7XRules4life Well the game opens with Shepard on trial for what happened during Arrival, so it's pretty soon.

Plus, it's already shown that he has a role in the new game.

[HowlingHalls]

It sounds so awesome in English, too bad they ruined it in the German Version, like, completely.

[silentevil77]

i love that jbird guy's remix of this

[Bennyhillsminion]

Was I the only one dancing?

[marvel672]

I shouted NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­Oooooooooooooo! when he died on my first play through. I have to admit I disliked him at first but during his loyalty mission I started to actually enjoy him..plus after that then song.

[amandarandom89]

Dear Bioware:

We, The Fans, demand another, longer Mordin Solus song in Mass Effect 3.

Thank you.

[alexblushtail1292]

@amandarandom89 Agreed!

[sithmastur]

@amandarandom89 I demand a sing-a-long as well.

[pwnswithbullets8]

or rly rly high xD

[pwnswithbullets8]

lol wow mourdin u just keep getting weirder and weirder lol

but wtfs up with that shepard? sriusly he looks like hes possesed or somthing?

[JuanBautista12]

"Mordin... from now on... NO MORE FUCKING SINGING ON THE SHIP!!!"

[Doomy23]

@Fridathewesternllama He's Renegade.

[thetruemagicalnegro]

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite song on the Citadel.

[Kaelusk]

Waaay better than the all-Elcor cast production of Hamlet. Believe me.....

[victor042696]

@Kaelusk insincere endorsement: you haven't experienced singing until you've heard it from the mouth of mordin solus

[Kaelusk]

@victor042696 haha, YES!

[PSNGreyLynx]

@Kaelusk You must hear the unabridged version it's much much better :P

[SpanishFly120]

@Kaelusk About 12 hours shorter too.

[Gamenamebully]

If Mordin was in American Idol, the Season would already be over by the time he starts singing.

[EpicKidney]

WTF is wrong with your character?

[cloggers11]

@EpicKidney

his character is clearly renegade.

[bobaneko]

best doctor in the world he give medical advices relation ship adivices sexual adivces and knoooow!! HE CAN SING!!! i give him more credit and he be my idol if he can break dance

[Lennyohh]

@bobaneko Legion's the dancer of the team. Have Mordin sing a tune while Legion busts a move and you have yourself the greatest combination since bread and butter =P

[bobaneko]

@Lennyohh mordin will sing the robot and legion will dance it and the citidale is proud and will forgive the geth

[TarkDaShark]

I am the very model of a gamer homeosapien

I've beaten games shooting, and singing and managing aquariums

I'm quite good at the fetch quest, a subset of the RPG

Because I am haxx0r which I know is a tautology My 1337ness ranges from sniping to jet plane flyin'

I am the very model of a gamer Homo sapien

[iiBeTrollin47]

I watched Mordin sing in 1080p lol

[bellboy64]

This was so great when I first heard that. The only thing I'm peeved at is that Shepard doesn't applaud or give me the option to!

[TheHoci]

D: O.o

omg xDD

[Namikagekun]

HOLY SHITFUCK IM THE 999,000 VIEWER.

[yutzwagon2]

@Namikagekun but there's only 199,947...

[Namikagekun]

@yutzwagon2 OH DAMN, A BEAR WITH CHAINSAW ARMS! I CAN'T WIN! COMBINE!

[0senBlade]

when it comes to mordin science is interesting...as along as he's sings

[RoninKensei]

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite song on the Citadel.

[kryptomanik]

Now Showing on Citadel Broadway:

Mordin Solus, MD as the Scientist-Salarian

in...

The Scientists of the planet Penzance in the Hawking Eta.

[Guyect]

the little *ahem* at the end is what sells it

[LordDarthAnger]

better than rebecca black or justin bieber...

[takared]

One of the best moments in ME2 xD

[MrXBOXJ0ckey]

Thats hilarious! 

[69weeman666]

Coming soon:

Mass effect: The musical

[migetmatty]

Im Commander Shepard and this is my favourite song from itunes

[KanameTousen]

........*just discovered this in game* WTF!

[Kronaras13]

I am the very model of a scientist salarian

I 've studied species turian, assari, and batarian

I am quite good at genetics as a subset of biology because I am an expert which i know is a tautology

My xenoscience studies range from urban to agrarian

I am the very model of a scientist salarian.

[Seanze329]

I literally JUST saw this in game. Oh Mordin is by far my favorite. Best part of the game fer sure. xD

[lilsparkyx14]

I have found my new ring tone...

[jedizero]

*throat clear*

[Doomy23]

I think that's the slowest I've ever heard him speak

[mandwithmadness]

mordins fucking awesome...

[masterplusmargarita]

This is the single reason why ME2 is the best game of 2010.

[hofer1]

Shepard is so fucked up in this video.

[XxxGamer5641xxX]

@hofer1 IT IS RENEGADE... I IS LIKE

[mistereveready]

Funny thing is last I checked, the person who did the voice for Mordin (Michael Beattie) actually performed The Major General's Song from The Pirates of Penzance.

[IPD07]

I clapped after he finished, i fully expected shepard to do as well, and then i had angry faic when he didnt >:|

[lakersandangels]

I love the pause after he's finished.

[blackswordsman89]

I think it is unforgivable that Mordin's passive ability is called "Salarian Scientist" and not "Scientist Salarian".

You have failed me, BioWare.

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

@blackswordsman89 it wouldnt sound good in that order. nonprose has no need for correct spelling, just whatever the artist wants to convey. you would make the ending bad just to say it grammatically correct?

[blackswordsman89]

@Pimpmastahanhduece That was just a joke, man.

[xxjong1991xx]

@Pimpmastahanhduece chill homie, I don't think that's what he meant. He wasn't talking about changing the words of the song, he was talking about changing the name of Mordin's passive ability/title from Salarian Scientist to Scientist Salarian so it would match the song.

[johnnycajxrt]

i think mordin sings better than Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, and the Jonas Brothers combined

[Markis2bi4]

@johnnycajxrt Bieber is not worth comparing, period.

[Omegahazard]

Ah music to my ears, prove that one can randomly sing and get away with it

[EvilgidgitReturns]

@Omegahazard That's why musicals exist.

[deathtamer666]

This was my hundred favorite video

[duncanthehut]

i love that awkward pause before he left.

[TyphorT38]

a great Babylon 5 easter egg :P

[MrGmodlol61]

Don't worry Ralconn, nobody knows... No one....

[wiseharley]

whats with youre eyes

[gameaddict1234]

Why isn't there a "love" button, again?

[S1deshowRobP5]

I have a feeling Mordin will be back for me3

Otherwise people will send Bioware Anthrax

[Cri354]

God i love that akward *cough* and silence at the end :D

[infections]

Press 6 for jesus

[TheAussieRocket]

I am the very model of a scientist salarian, I've studied species turian, asari and batarian.. Im quite good at genetics (as a subset of biology) because I am an expert which Is know is a tautology.. -key change!- my xenoscience studies range from urban to agrarian.. I AM THE VERY MODEL OF A SCIENTIST SALARIANNNNNN!!

-applauses!-

[wowcrackie22]

If Mordin dosen't show up in some way in ME3, there will be hell to pay.

[augment96]

I wonder if Mordin takes requests. I would love to see him sing the thong song. 

[ELIKIS503]

18 people got mordin killed

[ohlookitsblackfang]

[dragonblast8798]

Why couldn't you clap or something

[riogrande100]

Always got time for Mordin one of the most interesting characters in the game!

[ThePolimon]

*applause* BRAVO!!!!!

[Techpriestify]

>GOODBYE

+5 RENEGADE

-10 MORRIGAN DISAPPROVES

[mag1011]

Eighteen people are big dumb jelly fish.

[hineighbor]

@mag1011 You mean hanar?

[mag1011]

@hineighbor Yes, but renegade Shepard prefers "Big dumb jelly fish."

[asgamoul]

@mag1011 No, No, No, It's big stupid jellyfish!

[Mynameisnotooo]

@asgamoul No it's the #1 friend of the Asari.

[malusmoriendumest]

Came across this sequence today before I completed the game. Had to pause while I fetched my room-mate to come and see! We both laughed our asses off.

[Arzaker]

that awkward momentwhe hes finished is gold

[emiemioo]

THAT'S IT! I'M GETTING THIS GAME FOR MY PS3

DASPIFJSDÆLKFJSDÆFJSDÆFJÆDSLFD­SF

[CrapOfTheWorld]

The cough, man. Oh, the cough.

[filthyduck]

@CrapOfTheWorld gets me everytime...

[SubFect]

heh heh, this is awesome!

[bungieforever]

... i'am getting this game...

[dearangel111]

@bungieforever So worth it

[texben123]

When first hear mordin sing I was like holey shit!!!

[coldshoulder14]

This is what made me f*cking love Mordin's character.

Well this and a few other things too. :D

[RicardoDiaz]

That long, awkward silence at the end between them really caps it off.

[XxMomoruxXownzxX]

Coolest guy in the world.

[darkfelony]

how the frak did i missed it?

[smashbrosfan25]

One of the best parts in the game and one of the reasons I like Mordin

[Muffie726]

17 people aren't the model of a scientist salarian.

[Somesortadog]

"Thanks for sharing what you've learned, Mordin." Best ending to this conversation.

8D



[Pimpmastahanhduece]

@Somesortadog at least for once it wasnt "I have to go."

[skezness]

I love how this is in 1080p

[knownothingknowitall]

Pause at 0:06 - Happy Mordin :)

[ImaXXeatXXyeh]

the ungrateful Shepard is left to save a bunch of people or either die depending on the ending, while Mordin becomes big Broadway star and owner of playboy mansion! :D

[fredluver111]

i have played this game and i love that song!!!

[Maldor20]

I almost crapped myself and fell of my chair when I was playing this game on the PC and came across this. Immediately I thought of Mordin surrounded from the cast of "The Pirates of Penzance." Definitely one of the best moments in the game.

[burningxnecro]

I love how this is both utterly horrifying and insanely epic at the same time.

[Snakefist1912]

Whats wrong with his eyyes ? O_O he looks like some one pissed of its like a devil or something ...i mean shepard

[memoball1]

@Snakefist1912 It's how the game works you start out with scars and if you think negative thoughts your guy's scars get worse and the implants start showing to the point your eyes glow, or positive thoughts cause the scars to go away.

[Bobbyboy532]

my friend got this for $5 X D

[superbob1224]

16 people are not salarian, turian, asari, or batarians.......see what i did thar?

[Ketsui]

...Goodbye.

[Quasimodo1482]

Auf english hört es sich besser an wie auf Deutsch

[easterneagle5]

This is more frightening then every horror movie combined.

...Ever

[HiIeric117]

*Finishes song*

AKWARD SILENCE

*cough*

"Uhh thanks..."

[Shadowsolid]

He has the voice of an angel *In complete awe*

[compelectrix]

We should get a sequel of this in Mass Effect 3. Maybe even a full song, or a rap from mordin. Either way, Bioware has to do something to match this in ME3...

[Shrukain22]

Also, the funny thing is, he sings it slower than Major-General Stanley.

[Shrukain22]

Say, do y'know what its like to be an orphan? Often!

Oh wow, 'dem Pirates of Penzance. Am I like the only person who actually gets this?

[insight1337]

Too bad we did not get a salarian mate in ME1

[Kirrahe]

I truly wish they had made Mordin a romance option, simply to hear him seducing us by singing Berry White. although getting him to shut up during the sex would be near impossible....

[Promisha]

just got this game the other day, laughed my ass off when I found this and had to see it again.

[FlyingFocs]

Meanwhile, in the cockpit...

Joker: "EDI, not now I'm busy."

EDI: "I understand, nut I thought you would find this interesting."

Shows Joker recording of Mordin singing, Joker begins to laugh, they almost crash into a moon.

Shepard: "Dammit, Joker."

Joker: "It's not my fault. EDI tried to sabotage me. By the way, do you have that catfight between Jack and Miranda?"

EDI: "No."

Joker: "You're f**king useless."

[FlyingFocs]

This is why they created the term "Epic win".

[OLEGaman]

rate, if you want Mordin to rap in ME3
