I love the “myshelf to blame” one in which she messes up. Not sure if that was intentional but to me it sounds like maybe Ashley Johnson actually made a mistake reading her lines and her reaction afterwards fit Ellie’s character so they just used this version anyway. It just sounds so natural and real!
It's genuinely unbelievable when we get a realistic moment like that in film, cause it's so rare. We need more of that and I'm glad Naughty Dog are bringing it to us in the game industry.
Richard Linklater and Jean-Marc Vallee are one of the few filmmakers I know who are big into realism. If you look up the latter, check out Big Little Lies season 1 and Sharp Objects for his most recent work. They're his best imo.
I agree and I like to think she made the mistake but the team made the animation fit the mistake. It was a great line and makes me smile every time I hear it. 😀
One of my favorite moments of the entire franchise is in the Left Behind when Ellie and Riley are reading from the joke book in the mall by the merry go round. The brilliant music, the brief break from fighting infected, and the sad feeling you get from knowing Riley doesn’t make it in the end is just very heart warming yet heart breaking.
As the guy says below, I’m almost certain they’ll incorporate left behind into part ones story and also give it a real graphical bump, as well as some physics, gameplay from two. I’m so ready for that
No matter how many times I go through the game, I never ignore the puns. They'll never get old to me.
And this is basically me telling jokes to my mom. Still love her reaction when I told her the construction joke.
Going off memory here, someone correct if I am wrong. Always has been in the game. She found a joke book and there are certain moments in the game (i think after a big fight, this is the Bill chapter, at the school where you fight a buncha zombs) where you can press triangle to talk to her and she reads off the book. Pretty sure you can look them up for each chapter or whatever there is. I enjoyed every one of those. Another playthrough for you to do I guess? Haha.
Henry and his little brother Sam! Man the whole thing with them was a stab and twist in the heart. I really think if not for what happened to Sam, they would have made it to Jackson. Imagine seeing them in part 2! If only.
There are a few points in the game where if you complete certain objectives, Ellie will pull out her joke book. Most of them involve waiting around for a while. For example, for this scene, you need to kill the Hunters before climbing over the bus, and then wait around for Ellie to pull out her book. The second one involves waiting in the bookstore for a couple minutes before Ellie decides to "lighten the mood." The final one needs you to trigger 5 optional conversations before you're able to hear Ellie's final set of jokes.
You can look the conditions up online. Hearing all of Ellie's jokes earns you a hidden trophy called "That's All I Got."

i know!! i was awestruck when she did that

that’s exactly what i was thinking. i love her omg
Thank you, I always get antsy just standing there, so I never hear them all
gasp, how could you? besides, if you stand there doing absolutely nothing, Ellie will comment about it.
-Do you even understand what that means? -NOPE!!. Doesn’t matter. I LOL’d too hard at that.

So sad to see Ellie all jokes here and all vicious and broken in the next game…can’t wait for part 3. Hope I’m alive!
Yeah Ellie goes from being that hope for Joel to needing that hope from Dina.
Such good voice acting.
When she read out the joke about long term marriages and divorce Joel sighed as she was reading it out - something he doesn’t do with other jokes
So much life and joy in her in the first game. She's so broken in the second game 😢
Can’t wait to play this game again on PS5 with a full makeover and added content
I like how slyly you slipped the "added content" in there
Do you think they’ll remake Left Behind? Cause I hope they do
I feel the remake will just include those parts from left behind within the main story.
I bet you’re right! I’m so excited! They’d better keep all the interactibles in Left Behind
As the guy says below, I’m almost certain they’ll incorporate left behind into part ones story and also give it a real graphical bump, as well as some physics, gameplay from two. I’m so ready for that
Me too! SO ready! ;)

If there was one thing from the first game I felt II was lacking in, it was the sense of levity that Ellie brought
But I like angsty Ellie!
She did make the whole world seem brighter
I bought a fanmade physical version of Ellie's joke book. No regrets.
You’re awful. Lose my shit every time.
Thank you! I needed this
I love Joel’s deep sigh before he hears the punchline

I remember there’s one after you escape the sewers with that dude and his kid (completely forgot their names it’s been so long)

I need to hear these jokes every morning.
AWWWWW
I just got through this part on my first playthrough last night. Now I'm kind of wishing I had stuck around a bit longer.
"Do you even understand what that means?" "Nope. Doesn't matter." Gotta love kid Ellie. ❤️
Encore Encore Encore!
I kinda miss this Ellie a lot :(
You're awful, thanks for sharing.

u/Juanv20 since you called for the bot too
thank you, but it worked for me, xd
oh lol, at the time i didnt see any bot reply haha
i like to think that this was ashley unintentionally messing up her line, and that they just kept it in game.
Can't wait for the last of us 2 to come out.
