Grand Theft Auto V, released by Rockstar Games in 2013, follows three criminals whose stories intertwine, including former partners Michael De Santa and Trevor Philips. Their reunion is a pivotal early story moment, because Trevor believed Michael was dead, giving their first meeting back together a mix of shock, resentment and dark comedy. Short dialogue clips from the scene later circulated in GTA edits and meme videos, where creators reuse the exchange to mark returns, confrontations and chaotic friendships. It remains popular because both characters are instantly recognisable, and the scene needs almost no context to land.
