Top 20 Things You Missed in The Last of Us

where's the pancake mix oh is that I was sorry I was gonna make you birthday pancakes you know I don't really like pancakes welcome to watch Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 things you missed in The Last of Us season one what happened to them maybe they didn't follow the rules and they all got infected for this list we're looking at the best references Easter eggs and foreshadowing from the first season of the post-apocalyptic series if you aren't caught up to the show or haven't played The Last of Us games beware of Major Spoilers ahead which show Survivor would you go on a non-apocalyptic road trip with let us know in the comments number 20 a brief but brilliant gas mask nod how the hell are you breathing in this stuff it's not lying to you in the original The Last of Us games having a gas mask was essential for every Survivor The Source material allowed the virus to be spread through Airborne spores if a Survivor was unlucky enough to go into an area covered in the material they could easily turn my mask broke don't leave me to turn the production may have ditched that plot point to avoid mimicking the Mandalorian and covering Pedro Pascal's face I need to remove your helmet if I am to save you try it and I'll kill you however Bill gave fans a nice tease of what gas masks would look like in a live action The Last of Us Series this nod to a game mechanic perfectly fit the character's sense of paranoia and preparedness but we won't expect to see Joel borrowing that particular item for his live-action road trip I saw it now let me grab what we can number 19 musical Easter eggs dad thank you when Sarah is awoken by the sounds of chaos she slowly makes her way through her home viewers can briefly spot a guitar stationed in the living room for fans of the franchise the sight of the instrument alone might get them a bit choked up during The Last of Us Part Two Joel finds a guitar and takes the time to sing a sweet and sentimental song to Ellie if I ever were to lose you I surely lose he then proceeds to give her the instrument to keep before promising to give her lessons unfortunately Joel and Ellie don't get much time to work on music before they're tragically separated fortunately she continues learning and eventually becomes a master guitar player [Music] number 18 Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsay's ironic casting what are you doing killing time what am I supposed to do I'm sure you'll figure that out it's time to address the drogon-sized elephant in the room before playing Joel and Ellie on the Last of Us Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsay both played characters on Game of Thrones they both coincidentally died on the show after facing huge opponents years after their roles ended on that HBO hit they've been welcomed back again for another show on the same network but the biggest casting gag lies in the premise okay here's the deal we'll get it to your crew at the state house but before we hand her over they give us everything that we want if not we kill her there and then deal as fans of the game know the series will revolve around Joel reluctantly escorting a young and important being to a potentially Shady location Pedro Pascal has plenty of experience doing the same thing on the Mandalorian while the Star Wars character had no problem smuggling a being Joel ironically had some objections who is she to you she's Congo we don't smuggle people sorry I can do it number 17 paying homage to a complex Survivor story I heard about places like this people went underground after outbreak day after after drawing of a Duo [Music] do Oakley but players can get their entire story by collecting a series of notes upon acquiring all the Collectibles you'll discover that ish tried to stay away from The Horde by living on a boat when surviving on it became impossible he eventually settled in the sewers with a group ish and his new ally Danny did their best to protect everyone however their world came crashing down when someone let infected into their Community while the final fate of these survivors is unknown in the game the show may let us know what happened to them next what happened to them maybe they didn't follow the rules and they all got infected number 16 the doctor scene could have been darker on the hooker how did you get in here the Firefly surgeon who tried to stop Joel from saving Ellie ended up paying the ultimate price as harrowing as it was to watch the protagonist execute a doctor the scene could have been more unsettling when players encountered the surgeon in the game they had the option to go further and attack the two other doctors in the room anyone who chose to go that extra mile could have seen the medical professionals die in ways that are too gruesome to show here thankfully the live-action Joel stops with the surgeon at the same time the fact that he eliminated innocence and may have denied the world a chance to get a cure still makes it hard to look at him the same way they've actually they've stopped looking for a cure number 15. how'd she get that scar wait who gave you the black eye tell me where you were during the course of the seventh episode Ellie gets playfully attacked by her friend receives a black eye and gets a bite from an infected while all of those incidents are fully explained we're missing key details about one of her oldest marks Ellie has a distinct eyebrow scar since the beginning of the show however we only get a very vague nod as to what caused it Rocky start could have been worse though because I've been at 7-Eleven situation no thanks I'd like to keep my other eyebrow in one piece this roundabout answer is a reference to another franchise running joke Gamers have been curious about what exactly happened to Ellie's eyebrows since 2013. although Creator Neil druckman has been asked about it he only hinted that the story would be revealed at a later time we can only hope Ellie won't pull a joker and will actually tell us the Tale one day you look nervous is it the scars you want to know how I got him number 14 the bloater actor worked on another notable infectious role while all of the clickers on the show are scary the bloater made the most frightening entrance uncover it don't look back from Basel over the years worked on everything from the northmen to 2017's Beauty and the Beast Pedro Pascal would probably appreciate the basil worked on Game of Thrones too but the role that mirrors the stunt performers bloater character the most is Venom this again in both Tom Hardy films basil served as a stand-in for the alien symbiote hero the stuntman clearly has a knack for playing huge people who've been infected by Foreign organisms but look at me now you love me and I'm free number 13 Joel's hearing loss was subtly hinted at before the very observant Ellie was able to pick up on the fact that Joel has experienced hearing loss in his right ear the reason I asked whether you'd hear the glass or not because I've noticed you don't hear Too Well from your right side while we don't know what made her come to that conclusion there are a couple of moments in previous episodes that point to this reveal when Joel is sleeping in his apartment he sleeps with his left ear up it's only when Tess comes in that he feels secure enough to switch sides additionally Joel is surprised by attackers that approached him on his right side multiple times this subtle running detail may become more important in crucial action scenes and plot points going forward the thing is is I didn't hear that guy coming he shouldn't have had to him number 12 the hidden symbolism behind the big movie night Ellie Garfield I'm moving into the other room oh yeah I'm a friend of uh Tony's you know Tony DeForest during the kin episode Ellie notably leaves a public screening of the rom-com the goodbye girl right in the middle of the film she may have cut out early because the themes of the movie hit a little too close to home in the famous film lead character Paula is abandoned by her lover at the beginning of the story after she starts developing feelings for a man named Elliot she starts wondering if he'll take off too I want you to go if you come back fine I'll be here putting up my wallpaper and if not that's okay too I'll miss you but I'll survive the movies plot perfectly mirrors what happens between Ellie and Joel when he attempts to split the two of them up fortunately neither She nor Paula gets abandoned by the person they've come to care about by the end of their respective stories you deserve a choice I still think you'd be better off with Thomas let's go number 11 Bill's Home Depot Trip Lee popular meme so what you were prepper or something survivalist years after playing a tough Mr Fix who dislikes the government on Parks and Rec Nick Offerman played a tough Mr Fixit who dislikes the government on the Last of Us coincidentally both characters have tons of musical Talent as well but the biggest visual similarity between the roles came early in the episode in one of Parks and Rec's most famous and meme worthy scenes offerman's Ron Swanson goes into a Lowe's to pick up vital items while his card is full he completely brushes off an employee who tries to offer help with an iconic phrase hey there is there a project you're working on I know more than you The Last of Us appears to pay homage to this scene by having Bill make a trip of his own although he goes to Home Depot and the employees there are almost definitely already dead it's hard not to visually compare the two Offerman characters as an added bonus the Survivor does initially brush off Joel's offer to help with a DIY project they'll come at night quiet and armed we'll be fine number 10. Anna's last lullaby becomes one of Ellie's first loves oh it's tragic that Ellie doesn't get to spend much time with her mother Anna before the two are torn apart but the immune Survivor does get a couple of gifts from her mom in that short time outside of the knife Anna gave her daughter a subtle gift through the lullaby she was singing um [Music] if you listen very closely to the lyrics it becomes clear the new mom was singing a tune by the band aha called the sun always shines on TV Ellie notably got her hands on a cassette full of the same band's best songs when she got older maybe she subconsciously likes aha so much because one of their hits was at the center of her memories of her mother no way oh number nine the heroes are saved by Fungus what do you need we have boots medicine like for infections while Joel managed to survive getting a nasty wound from an enemy he still had to deal with the consequences of a bad infection thankfully Ellie was able to keep him stable until she traded for some penicillin all right go talk to Howard he's got a case with some penicillin bring back two bottles and a syringe the fact that this medicine helped is incredibly ironic penicillin couldn't exist without the help of fungi as many viewers know by this point the world of The Last of Us was completely wrecked by a not so fun guy that's known as cordyceps outside of Joel Ellie just managed to buy herself Time by letting David know she was infected by fungi already it looks like our heroes should recognize fungus as the true MVP of their perilous Journey I'm infected and now so are you number eight highlighting an important franchise song just make you all nostalgic this is actually before my time right it's a winner though during Joel and Ellie's road trip they get enough down time to listen to alone and forsaken by Hank Williams this scene was inevitable due to the song's significance across the franchise one of the very first trailers for The Last of Us used the track to underscore glimpses at the story and gameplay mechanics the roses have faded there's Frost at my door the birds in the morning don't sing anymore after intriguing prospective players the song was played within the first narrative as the duo drove towards Pittsburgh the track was used once again for one of the full trailers for the show itself [Music] said everything right since the lyrics Focus so heavily on morning things that have been lost this song is a perfect match for the crumbling world of The Last of Us number 7. Perry's actors should sound familiar who did this I think it was Outsiders I found a truck loaded it's not a federal vehicle but they were heavily supplied could be mercs one of the most surprising and welcomed additions to the show was the militaristic character Perry This strict Survivor is played by Jeffrey Pierce around 10 years before the actor took on this role he played a little character in The Last of Us franchise named Tommy Miller so why'd you leave Boston I've been on quite the adventure little brother I reckon he's got something to do with that girl he was excellent at portraying Joel's troubled Yet well-meaning brother in the games unfortunately a bloater prevented the two from ever meeting but we have a feeling that pierce wouldn't have gotten along with Pascal's version of the character on the show anyway in any case we were glad to have Pearson live action when we tell the others not yet number six The Last of Us Part 2 antagonist Abby is hidden in plain sight during the events of The Last of Us Part 2 a woman named Abby becomes one of Ellie's most hated enemies I can't let you leave I'm not doing this while we won't spoil anything for those who haven't played the games just know that there's pretty much no chance they'll ever be friends The Abbey character doesn't appear in the show during season one however the actress that portrayed her actually does Laura Bailey plays one of the nurses in the operating room this is just three years after she won several Awards by portraying Abby although we're unsure if bayley will appear in the live action series again the game-changing character she voiced will definitely play a major role it's a lead I gotta see it through number five a naughty dog Easter egg Gamers may have picked up on the fact that left behind is both the title of the episode and the name of the DLC story that fully introduced Riley it's one of several fun nods to the show's gaming Roots after a Mortal Kombat poster appeared in the DLC it became a main centerpiece in the episode oh are you ready yeah Ellie's treasured Sony Walkman pays homage to the game company that was once the exclusive home of the last of us but the sneakiest Easter egg came when the immune Survivor was meeting with a federal Captain can't see where this is going let me help you out to pass ahead of you when he uses his keys as a metaphor you can spot the Naughty Dog logo thanks to that company's work with Sony we got the game that inspired a thrilling and layered series it's two minutes or two days we don't give that up that up number four glimpses into Ellie's future you can do anything you want where are you going what are you doing although Ellie was still thinking about what she'll do with her life after meeting up with the fireflies the sixth episode gave us plenty of hints at what she'll get up to the narrative provided yet another hint that Joel will take Ellie to a space exhibit in the future additionally she was introduced to a very specific Horse no way that's our newest one a couple months old you want a pet her ah what's your name Shimmer Shimmer so beautiful Shimmer would go on to become a loyal companion for Ellie throughout the second game last but certainly not least we saw the immune Survivor devote time to taking care of sheep in The Last of Us Part 2. while Ellie May make fun of Joel for wanting to do the same on the show she may take up the profession to feel closer to him in the future it's kind of sheep we'll see I'm stuff closer to your dream number three animal Easter eggs don't scare it I won't one of the most iconic scenes in gaming history in the 21st century saw Joel and Ellie coming across a giraffe in the wild the scene was praised for its unique nature optimism and symbolism about Hope in the midst of oblique world she going come on come on come on come on okay throughout the series eagle-eyed viewers could spot giraffes hidden in the background there's a stuffed giraffe toy among the ruins of the city in episode 2. the bedroom Ellie borrows in episode 6 has both a poster of the animal and yet another plush on the windowsill after all of these tiny hints the payoff came in the finale when a family of giraffes brought hope to Ellie when she was feeling truly lost is it everything you hoped for got its ups and downs you can't deny that view number two Ellie technically kills Joel I still believe It's been a last six months have been hard no you didn't miss a scene where Bella Ramsay's Ellie decided that taking care of Pedro Pascal's Joel was too much work and took him out but the actress definitely did slay another actor who played him Troy Baker provided the voice for Joel himself in the games we're gonna mark it on the map same exact spot your buddy points to market after playing a character who protects Ellie he stepped into the role of James and hunted her on the show seeing Baker go from being a complex hero to becoming an irredeemable villain was fantastic in the end Ellie had to slay him in order to escape we can't deny that we were just a little sad to see the original Joel leave the show so soon I don't mean to question your sense of Mercy David we can let her go we bring that girl back with us she's just another mouth to feed before we continue be sure to subscribe to our Channel and ring the bell to get notified about

oh was that yeah it was sorry I was gonna make you birthday pancakes you know I don't really like pancakes The Intern did need pancakes the birthday boy forgot to get a cake and the neighbor who turned consumed biscuits a second user named real steamed ham pointed out that the city of Jakarta produces a huge amount of flour Not only was the city referenced in the first episode but it's where the episode begins additionally when a doctor is trying to get information about where people got infected she's told that they worked with flour these details seem to suggest that a common baking item may have ruined the world [Music] do you enjoy this video check out these other clips from WatchMojo and be sure to subscribe and ring the bell to be notified about our latest videos
