Funny / Johanna Mason: They Will Never See Me Cry

Go To

  • When Johanna makes a metaphorical quip about how there is more mud in the Districts than the Capitol. Lalaney says the Capitol has mud too. Johanna tries to analyze the political discontent in that statement before realizing Lalaney is being Literal-Minded when she mentions her daughter keeps getting her clothes muddy on the way home from school.
  • A lot of the banter between Finnick and Johanna is light and witty, like her making up a story about there being cake so they have an excuse to break up a conversation and Finnick mockingly complaining about Johanna luring him with false pretenses.
  • When Blight The Alcoholic tries to teach nine-year-old Joey how to cook, Johanna watches their efforts and says that Joey teaching Blight how to cook would be a lot safer.
  • While on a rebel mission, a disguised Johanna pretends to mistake her Sit Com Arch Nemesis Cashmere for Haymitch just to Troll her.
  • Chaff doesn't know the female morphling's name and introduces her to Johanna as "Err…."
  • A horrifying moment where Joey has been beaten by a Peacekeeper and is being operated on by the healer turns humorous when the healer's nephews debate about the proper moniker for a resident of District 2 ("District seconder", etc.).
  • In a literal Gallows Humor moment, Johanna tells two locals who have just killed a Peacekeeper not to comfort each other when they could spend that time running. Otherwise, they'll end up in the song "Hanging Tree."
