In the interview, she admits her character has an \u201codd relationship with Pedro\u2019s character\u201d before explaining how their weird dynamic can bring out some great humor. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s got this edge to her, but it makes for some weird, good dark comedy, I think. So it\u2019s there. I never want to deny the gift of humor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The second season of <em>The Last of Us<\/em> picks up five years after the events of the first season, which could explain why Joel needs to get a lot off of his chest. In the teaser, O\u2019Hara\u2019s character shares insightful messages that could double as interrogation tactics. She\u2019s heard saying, \u201cYou can\u2019t heal something unless you\u2019re brave enough to say it out loud.\u201d She also urges him to \u201csay the thing you\u2019re afraid to say.\u201d By the end of the trailer, tears are dripping from Joel\u2019s eyes. So, where in the world would she fit humor in?<\/p>\n<p>If anyone can find laughs in the morbid, it\u2019s the woman who played the eccentric Delia Deetz in both <em>Beetlejuice<\/em> movies, and previously proved herself as a versatile comedy virtuoso on the sketch comedy show <em>SCTV<\/em>. Time may have broken Joel\u2019s funny bone, but it\u2019s going to be thrilling to watch O\u2019Hara\u2019s character try to find the humor in the horror when <em>The Last of Us <\/em>Season 2 premieres in April. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/catherine-ohara-the-last-of-us-season-2-hbo-1851749776\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><br \/>\n Keith Nelson Jr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image: MAX An apocalyptic virus turning humans to monsters isn\u2019t normally the foundation for much humor, but it seems Catherine O\u2019Hara is going to try and find some.
