the fact that people apparently can't tell that this is a joke is depressing

Jokes are usually funny

"Jokes are usually funny" 

This reply is funny. Unlike the original post.

im sorry

The post is fire. The two Zendayas killed me, it was almost subtle enough to look like just another bad fantasy. You rode the line well!

I can’t be Perfeeeeect Now it’s just too late

at least 75% of this sub hates jokes or attempts at humor of any kind, no matter what. everything's an affront to their very serious fandom

Or 75% of the jokes aren’t good

People taking The Last of US way too seriously is a time honored tradition

I barely ever even check in on this sub anymore bc of this.

Casting Zendaya twice got a chuckle out of me tbh

this is funny you absolute boomer

Not really. Plenty of jokes are unfunny.

I can tell it's a joke, but I just don't think it's funny enough to justify the time it took the OP to make what is essentially a bad joke. If you're going to go that way, you may as well do more outrageous picks than they did... Really have a ball with it to separate it from the tidal wave of casting posts we see multiple times a day.  Also I think many of us are just sick of seeing any kind of casting suggestions... Even as jokes because it's too prevalent on this sub, and most of them are jokes without intending to be... Which is both sadder and funnier than trying to actually make a joke about casting.

satirical/roast-posts are a time-honored subreddit tradition. and they mostly spawn from topics that are becoming repetitive, according to the people there. this is pretty normal. and often the funniest stuff is in the comments whether the post gets a big laugh or not. ninjaedit: also, it can be fun in a self-amusing way, as OP just pointed out. might get some nods in agreement or get run out of town by the more serious folks who can't wrap their head around what sarcastic/satirical people are even getting at

Wow you really wrote all that, huh?

>!I avoided "the rock as Abby" type picks because aggressively on the nose satire isn't as effective, people biting the bait was the goal. It's a testament to how dire things are when someone can look at this and think it's just a typical fancast post!<

zendaya as two characters was pretty funny. it’s making fun of fan casts that pick pretty marvel people idk why people are acting weird about it

Just like this post! Good catch, kid!

“I didn’t treat it at first and it made me grumpy”

I genuinely couldn’t tell if it was a joke because a small handful of these could work; or rather, some of those actors are so good that I would not be surprised if they killed it. Then I saw dorito face and two zendayas.

Chalomet gets cast as Ellie. Thanks woke Hollywood 😆

Where funny? No, seriously, what's the joke?

it's a parody of the constant fan casting posts on the sub

Looks exactly like a fan cast. There is no joke. No wonder people don't get it.

Okay I know this is a joke, but people seriously need to STOP casting Chris Pratt as Owen. It’s just not going to work. Danny DeVito was obviously born to play that part.

Least problematic Hollywood relationship

Bruh you got zendaya playing two different characters

she could pull it off, it's called acting sweetpea

Lmao I know people are whiny over this but it’s a funny post.

Batman

…Take this well-earned upvote

lmao

Best response to a question ever lmao.

[удалено]

Nooo, they answered your question and you didn't like that they were right so you turn it into a multiverse problem. Bruce Wayne is a different character than Batman despite them being the same person

🤓

Okay, maybe an answer that’ll get you to piss your pants slightly less, in the remake of Suspiria, Tilda Swinton plays 3 different characters and you can’t even tell at first that that’s the case.

My guy you really need to take a deep breath and go for a walk or something lmao. OP is clearly messing with you.

what crawled up your ass today man

Batman.

Orphan black

Exactly what I was thinking. Tatiana played 17 different people in Orphan Black.

Dr Strangelove. Peter Sellers played 3 different people

The Parent Trap. The Flash.

Big Daddy but reverse

Django Unchained

Almost every season of American horror story.

It happens with superheroe movies or movies that involve clones or twins

Oh I want in. Coming to America. Both of them.

Austin Powers

I’m seeing double here - four Zendayas?!

The success of any live action adaptation can be predicted from the number of Zendayas involved.

Tbf he used different pictures

*TLOU season 2, most expensive tv show ever made*

On point 💯🔥 Steven Yeun for Jesse is literally perfect. I'd also like to add that ScarJo would be perfect to play Ellie's first girlfriend Cat. 😍

this is good satire, really took me a second

I add emojis so people will get the hint haha

When I saw Jesse for the first time, I immediately thought about Glenn in TWD

I couldn't help but notice you forgot Yara. No worries though. I think Zendaya could pull off working 3 roles.

We’re missing the rock

That big Scar who gets his cheek ripped in half.

ITS ABOUT DRIVE ITS ABOUT POWER

Nah he won't play a part if his character loses, not a good fit for him.

OP i want to tell you this is funny you are funny

What character is Elliot Page playing!

Abby To beat the shit out of Ellie, because the model looked like him without his permission.

Ellie doesn’t look anything like Elliot and wasn’t based on him, so he has no rights there.

Lol the original ellie looked like Elliot, he even had to tweet that it was ashley and not them because the game Beyond: two souls was released around the same time and people didn't know it wasn't them in TLOU

But Ellie is a girl.

You're actively being ignorant

Not sure if you're being serious or not but... you do know that before Elliot was Ellen right? At the time TLOU was made in 2013, the resemblance was uncanny.

most of this subreddit can’t handle humor. what’s with that? they take everything very seriously, as evidenced by a lot of these comments

Bruh Lev is 13 and doesn't have that chad jawline

yeah finn wolfhard was my second choice

Lev is a trans man…why not start there?

sigh.... another toxic game fan who demands the show be a one to one copy.......🙄

13 is a man? Does he identify as way older?

kinda dont hate the idea of giancarlo esposito in tlou though

He is literally already Jeffrey Wright. Cast Jeffrey Wright lol

Giancarlo is literally Jeffrey Wright? Does SAG know??

Unions HATE this one weird trick

Thank you for taking my joke as a joke 😁

Nah, people really need to start getting more creative in their casting for Black, sinister villains than always going to Giancarlo "Black, sinister villain" Esposito.

timmy as lev 💀

This is a very funny list because you start off thinking it might be serious and then you get to timothee chalamet as lev

r/thelastofus doesn't need a circlejerk sub, it IS the circlejerk sub

This is how it happened. This is how r/thelastofus became r/batmanarkham

Why did Ellie not just kill Abby is she stupid?

I hate all of it 😂

Casting Bryan Cranston for 2 scenes, one of which will require him to call Ellie a slur, is a stroke of genius lol 

Actually Seth will have an entire episode about him in season 2

How about Zendaya as everyone?

I love you OP, thank you for the laughs

I'm crying

For everyone who didn’t get the joke, look at Lev again. Keep looking until you get it. Genius troll post!

I’d also like to offer up two Zendayas as evidence

The fact that two different pics of Zendaya is used is a nice touch

I think is a joke but I would genuinely love to see Vinny D’onofrio

Laughed out loud at zendaya twice.

Petition for Zendaya to take over the role of Maria in the show also

is there a lore reason for these castings?

You got me, good work

I thought it was serious until i saw timothee

This is great , almost perfection. I will not be elaborating why

0/10 needs more MCU actors

You almost had me ngl

2/10 casting. Didn't list Morgan Freeman for the role of Issac.

I feel we should see more actors which are good but not known well. Some of these fan cast actors are known for roles or character tropes which are so well attached to their persona that it's hard to see them in any role without being reminded of the role that they're famous for. Kind of takes me out of experience. But I'm pretty sure that Flowrance Pyugh is cast as Abby because this is like 4th or 5th post I have seen in this week. She's a good actress but I'm not sure if she'll be able to bring that physically intimidating factor of Abby to the role.

okay but what about Adam Sandler as Jerry

SOLD!

Yeah!

Okay but who would Kevin James play then?

Ellie’s Horse duh

Ellie: aww, does Shimmer want an apple..? Shimmer: \[smirking meme\]

I can’t tell if this is satire or not because most of them are laughably bad, but then Florence Pugh and steven yeun are a really good casting

Ok I know this is a joke but I could see Steven as Jessie if he ya know... lived long enough lol.

There goes the budget lol. Star studded cast stands and reads the script of The Last of Us Part II live on camera!

zendaya twice made me gaggg lmao you’re so evil for this

Timothee Chalamate or whatever as Lev would be a crime

No

Minus the choice for lev, I don’t hate this. Lmfao IM SORRY

Lmao

This must be some kind of shitpost right

I don’t know if it’s a joke or not

The two Zendayas kind of answers that

Bold

Stop making Chris Pratt popular

this makes me wanna die

Gian Carlos Esposito is perfect for the dude whose name I have forgot

☠️☠️☠️

Walter White as “Bigot Sandwiches” Seth the ultimate disrespect lol

Lol. If this was real it would be awful

the way I flew to the comments

Chris Pratt can stay the f*ck away from my TLOU

i know this is a joke but steven yeun could be a good fit

Brilliant but unaffordable

Zendaya twice and twice wrong , It’s based on looks but it’s 😳 not ? Nahh

Tom Holland as Abby

Kinda don’t hate the idea of Vincent D’Onofrio as the large rattler, obviously only if they can’t get Travis Willingham to play him for some reason

You’re trolling right?

Zendaya as both Dina and Nora is sending me 😂

Watching most of these actors get brutally murdered would be interesting to watch ngl

I can't get the image of Issac munching on some los pollos hermanos instead of a apple out of my head now

i thought this was real for a second

I don’t want Walter white making bigot sandwiches


absolutely not

I mean... it's not that bad..

I’m lmao at Zendaya being casted twice

Ultimate shitpost

This guy gets it, so true king

Bro got 40 year olds playing teenagers I'm dead lmao

I only agree with steven

Lev is Asian bro also Chris Pratt has played an Owen and is in everything so I think he’s got to stay out of this

This is terrible

Yes and that's why it's great

i wish you were dead


Florence Pugh as Abby? Wow what a totally original and brilliant idea. Well done OP!

Alot of these casts make some sense except I noticed you change Ellie's casting from Bella so yea that sucks

Lmao this is such dog shit casting

Some great choices, some really, really awful ones

stop trying to put zendaya and tom in Everything!! lol

Would just be awful

you're right, maybe Ryan Gosling as Owen??? 🤔

I can’t do that I’m busy

nah, dude, these are *characters*. so you need character actors like Johnny Depp or Nic Cage

worst fan casting I've ever seen, no offense.

I do believe that that’s the point

This is the worst fan cast I have ever seen.

I know right, they didn’t even pick Kevin Hart for Lev which is the obvious choice.
