History Funny / TheLastOfUs

* While you're with Bill, you eventually visit a church he uses as one of his safehouses, prompting him to say that it's a good place to confess something should Joel feel the need to. If you go into a small room there, Bill will say in an annoyed tone "That's not the confessional booth, that's my ''room!"'' Even funnier as Joel will reply that he's not touching anything, before you proceed to loot the room. Absolutely hilarious when Joel says it *as you're looting something*.

** Just the fact that Joel describes an ice cream truck as "playing really creepy music" to draw neighborhood kids out.

* After solving a puzzle, Ellie demands a high-five for "Teamwork!" and there's actually a button prompt to do it. Take the prompt for the rare and wondrous sight of a man using his whole body to convey an eyeroll. Alternately, in PS5 remake, there's a trophy if you leave Ellie hanging.

* "I really miss coffee." [[spoiler: He gets some in Part II's flashbacks.]]

* Upon finding an ApocalypticLog of a man bit by infected monkeys [[TooDumbToLive that he let out]], Joel grunts in annoyance at the man's heartfelt monologue of sorrow and regret and fast forwards the tape to the end to hear where the Fireflies have gone. What should be a contemplative and depressing moment quickly turns hilarious (though you can listen to the entire tape in the artifacts menu).

'''Sarah:''' [[BlatantLies Drugs.]] [[SarcasmMode I sell]] [[DeadpanSnarker hardcore drugs.]]

'''Ellie:''' Hold your horses, I wanna see what the fuss is about. Oh... ''why are these all stuck together?''\\
'''Joel:''' Uhh...\\

* "I really miss coffee."

* "Once we clean up this mess we're gonna have a town meeting and put his leadership up to vote." The civility of the line in context makes it ARareSentence gold. While hunting Ellie one of the cannibals says this about David.

** Then there's the infected pulling a BigDamnHeroes moment for Ellie when she's outnumbered by enemies trying to reach Joel. After they've (possibly) finished them for her, picking them off from the second floor becomes child's play, even on Survivor.
** If you play your cards right you can end up with them almost completely wiping each other out until you have exactly one enemy left who is then also wounded enough for a slash of Ellie's knife to be enough. So much for that, huh?

* This exchange, after [[spoiler:almost getting killed looking for a car that has already been scavenged for parts]].
-->'''Bill:''' Somebody had the same idea, [[spoiler:they stole my shit]].\\

*** This becomes even funnier after the DLC content, which reveals [[spoiler:Ellie is attracted to women, such as Riley, so she really was "just fucking with" Joel, as Ellie wouldn't have any use for gay male porn anyway.]]

* After seeing Sam and Ellie play darts, Joel can have a throw too. [[spoiler:After much build up, he hits the wall.]]

* When Joel finds Ellie [[spoiler:on the operating table with a surgeon attempting to fend off him with a scalpel,]] it is possible to throw a brick at his face... only that he ignores the brick entirely, even through it breaks apart on his face.
* The... "[[ExactWords alternate ending]]" to the game. [[spoiler:The director told Marlene's actress to sing her lines in what was originally the game's final cutscene. Creator/TroyBaker took it completely in stride and began to sing with her.]] See [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oSFFSu57yU here]].
* There's a bit of dark humor when Tess and Joel confront Robert [[spoiler:after Robert tries to kill them both]].

* In one interview (link unfortunately lost, but [[http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2013/06/24/troy-baker-addresses-topic-of-being-unhappy-with-the-last-of-us-creative-director-neil-druckmann/ here's a text version of the story]]) Troy Baker describes how he had to work himself up for Sarah's death scene, and the emotional toll it took on him, and how he was glad it was over. Then, some time later, Druckmann comes up to him and says they need to reshoot a scene. Troy goes "okay, which one?" And Druckmann just looks at him, and Troy starts shaking his head and going "[[OhCrap no...]]"
* Many a Let's players default reaction to encountering a Bloater for the first time is "What the fuck is that!?" or some variation. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9_I8PK6I40 Case in point]].
** ''Ellie'' had the same reaction. It's as if the developers planned this...
* Stuck somewhere between this and TearJerker was Evan Goldberg and Creator/SethRogen's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT9U_sXsKAg playthrough of the introduction]], where he spent about 90% of the intro doing his usual dry sarcasm, AnnoyingLaugh, and just being Seth Rogen in general. [[TearJerker Then came that one pivotal moment of tragedy for Joel.]] Cue him sitting silent and stone faced for about 30 seconds before finally say "[[MoodWhiplash Whoah. That's an awesome game.]]"
-->'''''Evan''': "This is sad. I'll admit, it's not as funny as I thought it was gonna be. You guys are emotionally manipulating us right now."''

** Notice Joel when Bill suddenly shouts, He does it right near Joel's ear and he flinches accordingly.

** Just the fact that Joel describes an ice cream truck as "playing really creepy music" to draw neighborhood kids out.(Might be a case of genius bonus. The title of the "ice-cream truck song" uses to be "N***r loves a watermelon ha ha!" Since Joel doesn't seem racist, and he seems to know music, it might creep him out.)

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvn9Epc49z4 Riley & Ellie mock the woman announcing the 6AM shift with their own vocal renditions.]]

-->'''Bill:''' Whole goddamn town's booby trapped. Best stay on my ass.\\

** Doubly funny because players might be startled by Ellie's initial attempts at whistling, not realizing it's her and not some monster.
