Hope everyone likes the cheesy ‘80s theme song I wrote for this one…more to come!

[mr.raslyon]

Bill and his "roomate" Frank who always are together, dressed coordinatedly and walk in through the back patio door with fresh veggies and flowers from "the garden" 🤣

[joninosaka]

I love how everyone is so happy in this (except for Abby)

[clearlywrong]

Tess: "Joel... my luck had to run out... I've been bit."

Joel: "Dammit! I told you not to ditch those horseshoes last month!"

*[stock audience laughter]*

[tangbein]

Ellie being chained up at the firefly base. Trying to break ftee. Audience laughter*
Marlene enters the room.
Audience cheer*

[holitinne]

My favorite episode was when Abby asked Joel to help her win that mini golf tournament, needless to say Abby’s last swing was a killer!

[NoExplosionsMcgee]

Joel: "You know Ellie, we really are The Last of Us!"
**Live audience laughs**

[caronstout]

Bill and Frank would be the wacky neighbors next-door that pop in once an episode to make a funny quip about the current situation.

[CCTV]

Ellie has to tell 1 dad joke per episode minimum.

[javideas]

So much memories from my childhood, nowadays they dont make tv shows like this

[jileskorey]

Bill: Bloater!
Joel*Sarcastic*: Hey I know I've gained some weight but I'm not that fat
*Audience laugh track*

[kj]

Aww they all seem so happy. I hope nothing bad happens in the show.

[retrocny]

The way they've all got that canned "say cheese" smile going on, can't help but crack up laughing. So very 80's, early 90's. As a dude in my 30s, I wasn't really old enough to understand the 80's, but the early and mid 90s was my childhood. Saturday morning cartoons, Nintendo, Michael Jordan, Nickelodeon in it's PRIME... good times.

A postapocalyptic sitcom would be hilarious, cast by Charlie Sheen as Frank (0:41) and Bill Murray doing cameos from time to time.
They would always kill the same infected zombie called Spencer as a recurrent gag in each episode (like Kenny in South Park).
In the end they would adopt Spencer as a pet-zombie. In one episode the child Sarah (0:24) would try to teach him how to play chess

[w.d.arruffamontone]

Infected was my favorite character. Loved his development arc.

[EchoBoomer]

Abby:Ellie, why did you kill all of my friends!
Ellie: Because you killed Joel🤷‍♀️

*Audience laughter*

[paytn]

That final image of Bil and Frank warmed my heart

[jmacosta]

I love how everyone's just smiling for some reason I fail to comprehend, other than this being a sitcom.

[Roman-tuvh]

Remember that episode when he was always forgetting to buy a cake? In his birthday? Classic

[coltonruscheinsky]

Rewatch it and imagine it as a fever dream that Joel is having while he waits for Ellie to get him the antibiotics in the Winter chapter of the first game.
