It might be a lengthy line but it lacks much substance and relatability for Ellie. As the second joke Ellie ever tells Joel and audience it fails to live up to the standard that her first hilarious one (which we’ll see much higher on the list) sets. What makes this one miss the mark, is mainly when it’s told. #17: What did the confederate soldiers use to eat off of? Civil-ware. Still better than the pirate sushi one though. However, we can all agree that it doesn’t quite hit the mark and just makes everyone involved more upset about the situation they’re in. I will give credit where credit is due, under normal circumstances where society hadn’t collapsed and the majority of the world population hadn’t been wiped out, this one would have landed and I’m sure even Joel would have at least chuckled. #18: People are making apocalypse jokes like there’s no tomorrow.Įllie says it best, “too soon”. It won’t be the last pirate related joke on our list but it definitely will be the lowest rated. While the joke makes sense and Ellie’s delivery is top notch, the foundation isn’t there and leaves me wanting much more besides a rhyme and some enthusiasm.

#19: What does the pirate say when eating sushi? Ahoy! Pass me some soy!Ĭoming in at the very bottom of our list, this one just doesn’t offer enough in the form of cute word play or a clever punch line to warrant a position anywhere above dead last. This list is entirely subjective, if you would have ranked them differently, let me know! Good job Sam, now let’s get onto the countdown! It’s more of a clever phrase than fun word play which does hinder it a little bit, but not enough to completely ignore it. I think it can hold its ground with some of the mid-tier jokes Ellie tells during the game but is definitely beat out by some of the heavier hitters. This joke, delivered by Sam in the suburbs section of the season doesn’t qualify for the official ranking but I still needed to mention it. Honourable mention: Why can’t your nose be 12 inches long? Because then it would be a foot! In order for one to be considered really great, the joke needs to entertain me as a player but also get a strong reaction from Joel or Ellie.ĭisclaimer: This list won’t include any of the jokes that Riley or Ellie tell in the Left Behind DLC. So with that, I’ve decided in preparation of the much anticipated follow-up to the game, The Last of Us: Part II, to rank all of Ellie’s jokes from worst to best based on both the in-game reaction by characters and my personal enjoyment of them. We get to see them having fun with each other for some of the first times and in a silly way, lays the groundwork for a big part of their very jovial and loving relationship that develops over the course of the game and the journey they go on together. These are great little distractions from the severity of the situations that these characters are in and it’s often as much of a break for the player as it is for Joel and Ellie. Which lighten the mood after several intense encounters with hunters and infected during the Pittsburgh section.

And a really unique way this can be seen is in the series of jokes that Ellie tells during the Summer season of the game. We learn more about them as they learn more about each other. Undoubtably, one of the best things about experiencing this game is seeing how the relationship between protagonists Joel and Ellie develops over the course of four distinct seasons.

It’s good to know that even when most of the world’s population has been infected and society has almost entirely collapsed, that a lame joke can still make even the most weary survivors crack a smile. In a world as bleak and violent as the one featured in Naughty Dog’s 2013 masterpiece, The Last of Us, any moments of joy that players get to experience are a great change of pace.
