The Grand Theft Auto series has an entirely separate section devoted to it in the hearts of male gamers. It is the perennial game when it comes to shaping our futures. Although the games aren’t supposed to be played until a person turns 17, the fact of the matter is the first time kids get their fix of GTA is before they are even preteens. By the time they grow up they have memorized the game throughout.

For those who are a little older, the memories of games like GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas are still ever fresh. GTA V, though, took the open World games tips by storm and captured the interest of old and new gamers alike. It had a superb set of protagonists and a vibrant city to boot. The game is still played worldwide more than five years after release and shows no signs of stopping. Grand Theft Auto VI still has no release date in sight, and thus we have to contend with GTA V and pass the time with creating or watching memes based on the game.

This list features memes from GTA V that its gamers will easily understand. Crossing the lines of logic, hilarity, and truth, you’ll have a laugh as each meme showcases the thinking of a GTA gamer as well as some facts we were aware of and didn’t dwell over.

24 Makes Sense In Context

Anyone who claims they haven’t wrecked a car in GTA has never played the game. It’s impossible to keep the vehicles in one piece. Also impossible is driving the car in a single lane. When the rules of society don’t matter anymore who would want to follow them? There’s also the easy matter of getting the coolest rides one sets their eyes on as the player only needs to hijack a car they see.

Due to this, there’s always a case of road rage when it comes to driving in the GTA universe. Driving from one city to another is a long process with plenty of roads to crash through and plenty of pedestrians to run over, and by its end, the car looks exactly like the one shown in the picture.

23 Street Life Francis

Talk about crossing the line. This one might even offend some deeply religious folk. While the intention of the creator of this picture is unknown, we can confirm there’s no offense meant. The picture is undeniably funny, however, if taken in the lighter sense of things.

That is one cool Pope Francis we’ve got there.

Evidently, someone edited in the pope armed with a pump shotgun and renamed the game to GTA V: Vatican City . But come to think of it, the game would be amazing if we ever got it. The chance to cruise the streets of Vatican City as the pope? Who would want to miss an opportunity to play that game? While the nun in the background is in poor taste, we could adhere to papal policies while running the mean streets too.

22 Talk About An Upgrade

It was a given once we moved over to newer generations of video game consoles we would get better graphics. Grand Theft Auto games were never technical marvels. Its graphics have always been passable at best. In the sixth generation of video game consoles, there were several beautiful looking games such as God of War . Therefore, it was hard to believe GTA: San Andreas came out looking the way it did. The game wouldn’t get anywhere near the best looking games of its generation.

While GTA IV wasn’t all that bad it wasn’t all that great either. GTA V showed a positive shift toward graphical capabilities for the series. However, there are some fans who really cross the line when it comes to exaggerating on the improvement. In the above meme, we see CJ turned into Father Gabriel from The Walking Dead .

21 Burn!

Lindsay Lohan is a weird cookie. She’s been going through rough patches longer than most children’s life spans. Over time the sympathy has run wafer thin, and no longer does she get any passes for her immature behavior. Instead, people look to make fun of her more now that her antics have gotten crazier.

Lohan sued the makers of GTA V for stealing her likeness. Little did she know she’d come to regret it.

Gamers haven’t let her live that insane claim down. She claimed the woman at the beach on the cover art of the game was a picture of hers that the creators had modified. However, gamers have trolled her by comparing the likeness to Trevor Phillips instead. They may have a point, though, on the inside she does have a personality the same as Trevor.

20 Michael’s Logic

Mr. De Santa clearly did not read the beginner’s guide to faking demise and assuming a new identity as the execution of his plan left a lot to be desired. Michael – real surname of Townley – orchestrated a plan with the FIB to go into hiding and leave Trevor none the wiser about his survival. It worked for 9 years until he was found in simple fashion.

Trevor needed only a simple search to locate Michael once more. Maybe he could’ve duped Trevor into thinking he was someone else had he bothered to change his facial features ever so slightly. Instead, he looked exactly the same and lived in the same state. He was bound to be found. Talk about crossing the line between dumb and dumber.

19 Just Driving

What’s the fun in playing a GTA game if you’re not going to go on a wild spree at least a few times? Although the recent entries in the series have seen better storylines and side missions that motivate the player to stay in line, for the most part, old habits still go hard.

With a plethora of weapons readily available, one cannot resist dispatching scores of civilians.

Even that temptation could be contained, but the one that is impossible to ignore is the appeal of running over pedestrians while driving. No one drives in lanes during gameplay and its inevitable to knock over innocent bystanders. It’s true, they really were in the way. What do you expect the player to do? Honk at them?

18 Such Real Graphics

via me.me

There are some poor gullible souls who can be fooled into believing anything. Gamers aren’t the brightest bunch compared to other groups. Even if gamers weren’t dumb they sure do love to exaggerate over a new game’s graphics. Most arguments made to showcase a change in system mechanics are by checking out the graphics in a follow-up game on a newer system.

This picture was made back when GTA V was about to release and some people were over-hyped. While the intention of the creator may not have been to hoodwink naive people into thinking this really was GTA V , they did have every intention to mock them. People do tend to go overboard with praising a new game’s graphics despite the graphics being only marginally better than before.

17 Technically Correct

No one’s claiming the above is fake. Because it actually is a GTA game. But as we’re not crazy addicts of the Grand Theft Auto series we can’t make any promises whether the guy who this person dupes into buying the game won’t hunt him down. On the outside, it is what it is.

With the ‘I’ taped over the ‘IV’ of GTA IV, it does make it read as GTA V, but this is just for comedic purposes.

However, you’d be surprised by how many gullible gamers are out there. In countries where it’s not a general practice to purchase games upon release, where they instead wait to buy the game secondhand, people have been hoodwinked into purchasing older GTA games.

16 Cops Hate Off-Roading

via imgflip.com

The police are relentless in their chase of the player once they are on to them. It doesn’t really matter what one does as the cops seem to be everywhere you can think of. Even in the most remote locations, where there might be a single person or two, they’ll have a cop around. That is, until you go into the woods.

For some reason, the police aren’t too keen on pursuing the player when they venture into the off-road territory. They still do attempt to make a chase out of it but perhaps their cars aren’t up to the task. They are inconspicuous in their absence too once you manage to shake them off. So make a note to yourself – whenever you’re wanted, go off-road.

15 The Never Ending Loading Screens

via memedroid.com

The ire of many GTA V players and the source of anxiety for all who are familiar with it. Each time you pop the game in for a playthrough you just know you’re in for a lifetime of waiting. The game starts off with a loading screen that displays all the characters in it with a rather obtuse soundtrack droning on. This can go on for about a minute or forever based on how the game feels at the time.

The loading screen is non-stop, or so it feels.

The display images keep on repeating one after the other while some piece of trivia concerning San Andreas is shown on the screen to pass the time. This comic is right on the mark with how it seems to a person living out their entire life waiting for the incessant loading screen to be done with.
