Every Pun from Ellie's book in HBO's The Last of Us episode 4 and beyond

Episode 4 of HBO’s The Last of Us was packed full of pun-tastic humor from Ellie so let’s take a look at all of the puns said in the episode plus all of the puns still to come.

HBO’s The Last of Us is already almost halfway through its first season and so far, it’s been jam-packed with death, love, and survival. There usually isn’t much to laugh about when you’re knee-deep in the post-apocalypse, especially with horrific infected around every corner and humans wanting to kill you. But thankfully, Ellie’s humor brings a much-needed light to the grim and dark world with her pun book.

Let’s look at all the puns from episode 4 of HBO’s The Last of Us and other puns and jokes from the game that could be making an appearance.

Although initially an annoyance to Joel who really didn’t find the humor in Ellie’s constant jokes and puns from her ‘No Pun Intended Vol. 2’ book, viewers lapped them up as it brought a glimpse of comedy to the otherwise somber series. Players of The Last of Us will have already heard many of these puns and jokes already but let’s look at all of Ellie’s witticisms throughout episode 4.

• “It doesn’t matter how much you push the envelope, it’ll still be stationary.”
• “What did the mermaid wear to her math class? An algae bra.”
• “I stayed up all night wondering where the sun went, and then it dawned on me.”
• “Why did the scarecrow get an award? Because he was outstanding in his field.”
• “Did you know diarrhea is hereditary? It runs in your genes.”
