Funny / Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

Go To

  • Many times in Among Thieves, but the shining star is when Elena asks Nate how scared he was that she was going to die on a scale of one to ten. (She got a four.) And Nate's denial that he cried.
    Nate: It was raining and you were unconscious.
    Elena: It was sunny and you were bawling. Whatever, I kept your tears in a jar. I have proof.
    • Also, Nate reveals in said scene what he uses as a "ten" baseline on his fright scale:
      Nate, in a completely serious voice: Clowns.
    • And Elena's reaction to it:
      Elena: Clowns over my death?
    • This scene became even funnier following the release of Playstation All Stars Battle Royale, in which Nate can fight Sweet Tooth, PlayStation's resident Monster Clown.
    • Even funnier is the fact that the dialogue in this scene was mostly improvised, according to Nolan North.
  • Chloe, Flynn and Nate, after discovering their employer has sent them after something vastly more valuable than they had assumed:
    Chloe: So. We're dicking this guy over, right?
    Nate and Flynn: (in unison) Yes.
  • When Nate and Flynn are breaking in:
    Nate: Hey, now what do you bet that will take us directly into the boiler room?
    Flynn: From there, we're in.
    Nate: Yeah, 'in like Flynn'.
    Flynn: What?
    Nate: 'In like Flynn'?
    Flynn: I don't get it.
  • In the museum, Drake asks if Flynn is going to climb up and disable the alarm. Flynn just turns to him silently with a Fascinating Eyebrow.
    Nate: (reluctant) Wait here.
  • On the museum roof:
    Flynn: There's a guy above you, there's a guy above you! (Nate pulls the guard down from the roof.) There's a guy below you, there's a guy below you!
  • Nate's hand puppet show after getting put in jail, re-enacting the final conversation he had with Harry Flynn when Flynn betrayed him, ending the show with puppet-Nate apparently shooting puppet-Flynn in the face.
    • When Sully arrives and blocks the sun:
      Nate: (assuming Sully is just another guard) Hey, jackass, you're ruining the show here.
      Sully: Aww, what a shame.
    • Chloe then shows up and is repulsed by the smell of Nate's cell:
      Chloe: Dear God...
      Nate: (mock sincerity) Oh no, it's not that bad. Look, I have my own bucket. Last cell, eight of us had to share!
  • This gem.
    Nate: You give me five minutes in that tent, that's all it'll take.
    Chloe: Really, five minutes? Well, that's great. I won't even have to get my top off.
    (Beat. Nate and Sully look at each other.)
    Nate: Chloe, I was... thinking more like an explosion.
    Chloe: ...Or that... can be arranged.
  • In the jungle:
    Sully: I'm sweating like a hooker in church.
    Nate: You brought a hooker to church?
    Sully: Why not?
  • When Nate, Sully, and Chloe are in the tomb:
    Nate: (spots skeleton clutching a book) Look at this... what do we have here?
    Chloe: Careful...
    (Nate suddenly screams in terror, causing Chloe and Sully to recoil)
    Nate: Aaaagh! ...ahahahaha!
    Sully: Christ almighty...
    Nate: I'm just kidding!
  • Both Nate and Sully snarking Flynn:
    Flynn: Found the ships though, didn't I?
    Nate: You couldn't find your own ass with both hands.
    Sully: And a map.
  • At the beginning of Chapter 6:
    Nate: I'm sorry, do you have a plan to go with that grenade?
  • Nate and Chloe climb to the top of a ruined hotel to discover a rooftop pool. If the player has Nate jump in and swims around, it triggers a conversation:
    Nate: Hey, check it out! Marco! note 
    Chloe: Really?
    Nate: C'mon!
    Chloe: No.
    Nate: (still swimming) Marco!
    Chloe: (sigh) ...Polo. note 
    Nate: (gets out of pool) Heh, fish outta water!
    Chloe: You are so unprofessional.
    • Also at the top of the hotel, they overhear from Chloe's radio that Lazarevic's forces have started combing that area of the city for them. Chloe and Nate's faces are a picture particularly when they see a gunship heading in their direction.
      Lazarevic: (over the radio) Drake has been spotted in sector 18.
      Nate: Ah, crap... any chance this is sector 19?
  • After Nate and Chloe survive jumping out of a collapsing building:
    Nate: (nervously giggling) We were almost in that!
  • After telling Elena to go get a Jeep so that they can get on the train, Nate characteristically blunders his way into getting the attention of everyone at the trainyard and fighting them off. Then the train leaves.
    Nate: Dammit, train's gone...STOP SHOOTING ME! Well, at least it can't get any worse.
    • Then two huge minigunners show up.
      Nate: Shit! This is all I need, Tweedledum and Tweedledumber. Train's gone, Chloe's on it, Elena's nowhere to be found and now these two mutants show up!
      Elena: (arriving off-screen in a jeep) NATE!
      Nate: (in his best pissy-pants voice) About time!
  • A lot of Nate's comments while fighting his way through the train. Highlights include trying to warn enemies of the warning lights along the railway and yelling at enemies for shooting at him while he's chased by a gunship.
    Nate: Can't you assholes see the helicopter?! I got enough trouble!
  • In Chapter 14:
    Nate: How the hell am I supposed to take out a hello?
  • Nate griping about anything and everything while climbing up the train in Chapter 15.
    • In the same vein, Nate heroically leaving everyone else behind so that he'll fight Lazarevic alone, and then bitching about what a stupid move it is the moment they're out of earshot.
  • Tenzin is throwing a grappling hook into some icy stalactites:
    Nate: Hah, good luck, pal, that's almost impossible to— (Tenzin makes the throw perfectly)oh, you did it. Nice.
    • Even funnier when you remember that Nate starts using a grappling hook in the fourth game.
    • Later when Nate and Tenzin are fighting the tank:
      Nate: Tenzin, RPG! RPG! (to self) What's Tibetan for RPG?
  • When Nate and Elena find (or rather fail to find) the entrance to Shambhala:
    Nate: Here it is, Elena. The entrance to Shambhala.
    Elena: ...Nate.
    Nate: Yeah.
    Elena: I don't see it.
    Nate: Neither do I.
  • When Nate relents and is ready to lead Lazarevic into Shambhala, he reaches into his bag for the resin, causing all of the mooks to reach for their guns.
    Nate: (irritated) Calm down!
  • After Chloe leaves in the ending, Sully decides to follow her.
    Nate: You're a dirty old man, Sullivan!
    Sully: Uh-huh.
  • Nate's journal:
    • ¡SKELZOR!
    • The Scare-O-Meter: Demon Sasquatch, Slippery Naked Guy, and Sully's moustache.
    • The Many Faces of Victor Goddamn Sullivan.
    • Angry Eddy: "I kill you, Drake!" (RIP)
    • A scribbled reminder to buy altitude sickness pills and lipbalm.
    • Two pages covered in telephone numbers and names, all of them female, with dried flowers taped in beside them. Oh, Nate.
    • The picture labelled "SS Assholes", near an old note with the caption "Taken off dead Nazi #7,462".
    • A drawing of a temple water spout, which looks like a monstrous creature's face, divided in three sections; labeled "Lazarevic (ugliest)", "Flynn (most scales)", and "Chloe (biggest mouth)".
  • Not to mention Nolan North's glorious Throw It In! potential.
  • You can gleefully instigate a Pineapple Surprise by shooting a mook just as they prep a grenade to throw.
    Doomed Mook: ...Uh-oh!
    • And for added humour, the "uh-oh" is said in a singsong voice, making the big bad mercenary sound like a toddler that just had an accident. Which, considering what's about to happen to them...
    • A similar sound clip is used for when the AI misjudges a throw, as well. Rarer, but equally hilarious.
  • At one point when climbing with Elena, Nate will glance off at the mountains, and remark about the great view. Elena, who is currently above him with her ass pointed in his direction, assumes he's talking about a different view.
    Elena: Ugh, Men.
    • Made even funnier by the fact several chapters earlier, Nate is giving Chloe a boost, and he actually does comment on what a great ass she has. Raises the implication Nate might not have been talking about the mountains after all.
  • Failing the last interactive part of the game triggers a Non-Standard Game Over where Nate, Chloe, and a Shambhala Guardian slide off a cliff, flailing and screaming all the way down. The Guardian's deep-voiced scream as they fall is what sells it.
