{{work}}

Considering how gut-bustingly witty many [[Joss Whedon]] productions are, this was bound to happen. Highlights include:

* Tony and Pepper discussing who gets the credit for Stark Tower, Tony says Pepper can claim 12%. She gives him a flat look.
{{quote|'''Tony''': I'm going to pay for that comment about percentages later in some subtle way, aren't I?
'''Pepper:''' Oh, it won't be that subtle. }}
** [[Brick Joke|The payoff]]:
{{quote|'''Tony''': We were having a moment.
'''Pepper''': ''I'' was having 12% of a moment. }}
** From the same scene, Tony's reaction to Pepper being on a [[First-Name Basis]] with Coulson.
{{quote|'''Tony''': ''Phil?!'' His first name is "[[No Name Given|Agent]]".}}
* Natasha tells Banner "it's only you and me" while convincing him to help SHIELD ''as'' Dr. Banner, ''not'' the Hulk. Then he scares her, she promptly grabs her gun... "I'm sorry, that was mean. [[Troll|I just wanted to see what you'd do.]]" But she keeps holding the gun, while telling [[Just You and Me and My Guards|the huge team outside]] to back off as it was a false alarm...
{{quote|'''Banner''': Just you and me, huh?}}
* Agent Coulson and Steve Rogers. Coulson is a [[Fan Boy]], Steve finds him a bit creepy.
{{quote|'''Agent Coulson''': I watched you while you were sleeping. ([[Beat|Awkward silence]]). I-I mean... I was present when you were unconscious from the ice.}}
* When Nick Fury meets with Captain America in the beginning they wind up [[Side Bet|betting ten dollars]] that there's [[Seen It All|nothing that can surprise Cap anymore]]. After he sees the SHIELD helicarrier take off, he heads to the bridge and wordlessly hands Fury a ten-dollar bill, which he accepts without even looking at Cap.
** Speaking of the helicarrier's initial takeoff, when Natasha initially suggests that Steve and Bruce come inside because it's "about to get hard to breathe" on the deck, Steve guesses that the carrier is submersible; Bruce wonders wryly if they really want him in a "submerged, pressurized, metal container," cue realization as the carrier begins to lift off:
{{quote|'''Bruce:''' (''[[Surrounded by Idiots|bewildered smirk]]'') Oh, no, this is ''much'' worse.}}
* Black Widow mentions Coulson's fanboying over Captain America and his trading cards. A couple scenes later, we see Cap standing there passively watching the agents work and Coulson in the middle of sheepishly asking him to autograph his cards.
{{quote|'''Black Widow:''' There was quite the buzz over at headquarters when they found you in the ice. I thought Coulson was going to swoon. Has he asked you to sign his trading cards yet?
'''Cap:''' Trading cards?
'''Black Widow:''' They're vintage. He's very proud. }}
* After Cap and Iron Man have loaded Loki onto a Quinjet, it suddenly starts to storm...
{{quote|'''Cap''': Don't tell me you're afraid of a little lightning?
'''Loki''': [[This Is Gonna Suck|I'm not overly fond of]] [[Thor|what follows]]. }}
* After Thor takes Loki away from SHIELD custody, Iron Man goes after them. Not wanting to be left behind, Captain America is about to follow suit when Black Widow advises him not to do so, as both Thor and Loki are powerful beings and could be considered gods. The good captain's response?
{{quote|'''Steve''': [[Real Men Love Jesus|There's only one God, ma'am, and I'm pretty sure He doesn't dress like that]].}}
* Thor's confrontation with Loki gets interrupted by Tony:
{{quote|'''Thor''': Listen well, Brother-- (''gets tackled offscreen by Iron Man'')
[[Beat]].
'''Loki''': [[Deadpan Snarker|I'm listening.]] }}
** Adding even more to the humor of the moment, Loki then [[Pass the Popcorn|casually settles down on his rock like he's a member of the audience to watch the show]].
* Before that, Thor asks an obvious question. Loki's "um, ''duh''" expression is priceless.
{{quote|'''Thor''': You think yourself above them?
'''Loki''': [[Deadpan Snarker|Well, yes.]] }}
* During a briefing:
{{quote|'''Thor''': Loki may be beyond reason, [[Thicker Than Water|but he is of Asgard and he is my brother]].
'''Black Widow''': [[Ax Crazy|He killed eighty people in two days]].
'''Thor''': ...he's adopted. }}
** The comment from Banner that led to the above exchange.
{{quote|'''Banner''': I don't think we should be focused on Loki; that guy's brain is a bag of cats. You can ''smell'' crazy on him.}}
* This delightful ''[[The Wizard of Oz (film)|The Wizard of Oz]]'' reference during the first group debriefing:
{{quote|'''Fury:''' I'd like to know what Loki did to turn two of the sharpest men I know into his personal flying monkeys!!
'''Thor''': [[Fish Out of Water|Monkeys? I do not understand--]]
'''Cap''': [[Fish Out of Temporal Water|I do!]] ...I understood that reference.<ref>In case anyone still doesn't get it, ''[[The Wizard of Oz (film)|The Wizard of Oz]]'' came out in 1939. Cap was frozen in 1944.</ref> }}
** It's hilarious just how ''happy'' Cap looks that after an interminable amount of incomprehensible-to-him technobabble and impenetrable pop culture references, somebody ''finally'' said something he actually understood. You wonder if Fury didn't deliberately throw the poor guy a bone.
* Agent Coulson even gets a Funny Moment  {{spoiler|while dying}} via his BFG.
{{quote|'''Coulson''': ...[[Brick Joke|So that's what it does.]]}}
* Banner's conversation with the janitor:
{{quote|Son, you got a condition.}}
** Made even funnier when he asks him if he's an alien, as he's played by [[Hey, It's That Guy!|Harry Dean Stanton]] who played a similar role (mechanic, but still) in ''[[Alien (franchise)|Alien]]''.
** When the janitor describes the Hulk as "Big and green and buck-ass nude".
* Captain America giving orders to the others, then...
{{quote|'''Steve:''' Hulk?
(''The Hulk looks over at him.'')
'''Steve:''' [[Phrase Catcher|Smash.]]
(''Hulk grins and launches himself at the Chitauri.'') }}
* Loki telling off ''the Hulk'' [[Bullying a Dragon|as if he were scolding a naughty child]]. What does the Hulk do? What he does best. [[Metronomic Man-Mashing|Smash.]] Also counts as a [[Moment of Awesome]].
{{quote|'''Loki:''' ENOUGH! You are all beneath me! [[A God Am I|I am a]] ''[[A God Am I|god]]'', you dull creature! [[Bullying a Dragon|And I will]] ''[[Bullying a Dragon|not]]'' [[Bullying a Dragon|be bullied by-]]
(The Hulk [[Shut UP, Hannibal|grabs Loki by his legs]], [[Curb Stomp Battle|twirls him like a lariat]], then begins [[Metronomic Man-Mashing|bashing him against the floor.]] A few smacks reduce the marble floor to gravel and [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|Loki is a horrid, broken senseless mess]]. Hulk takes a close split-second look at him, then [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|smashes him into the floor]] two more times [[Double Tap|just to be sure.]] )
'''Hulk:''' [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?|Puny god...]]
(The tone of Hulk's voice can only be considered ''disappointment'' - he had issues to work out, and it was [[Curb Stomp Battle|over so quickly]]. All Loki can do is lie there in his own crater with a bug-eyed and stupefied ''"What the hell just happened?"'' look on his face.) }}
** He seemed to know that pissing off the Hulk was a bad idea; the fact that his army was losing and he was alone in a room being chased by said Hulk meant he was desperate, and insulting Hulk was probably part intimidation part last-ditch attempt to preserve his fragile ego. Which makes it both funny and [[Laser-Guided Karma|karmic]] at the same time.
** And that wasn't exactly a 'whimper', per se. ''That'' was the sound someone makes when they've had the wind knocked out of them, and it suddenly takes a conscious effort to get air into their lungs. And Hulk did this to a frickin' GOD without even breathing hard. Just to hammer in the fact that Loki is, for the first time in the movie, completely helpless against a mere earthling. [[Laser-Guided Karma|Karmic]] indeed.
*** A bit of funny trivia:  {{spoiler|When Clark Gregg was feeling down about just having filmed Coulson's death scene, the producers showed him an early animatic of this scene. He felt much better afterwards.}}
* The Hulk [[Offhand Backhand]]s Thor ''right out of the shot'' after they crash one of the Chitauri leviathans into Grand Central Station. Doubles as a [[Brick Joke]] to settling their fight on the Helicarrier earlier in the movie.
* When everyone is arguing in the Helicarrier, Thor jumps in with this gem:
{{quote|'''Thor:''' You people are so petty... and tiny.}}
** What really sells it though is the grin on his face as he says it. Everyone else is about to reach breaking point, and here's Thor smiling like a kid watching a puppet show.
* Loki, in response to  {{spoiler|getting the tar beat out of him and watching his entire plan crumble into dust in the span of hours. Not to mention an ''angry'' roster of Avengers glaring at him as he lies on the floor.}}
{{quote|"[[Graceful Loser|If it's all the same with you]], [[I Need a Freaking Drink|I'll have that drink]] [[Brick Joke|now.]]"}}
** If you pay attention to the blocking, you'll note that {{spoiler|the Avengers come up behind him through the open wall, meaning Loki was apparently heading toward the bar already.}}
* Natasha's opening scene where she is tied to a chair, dangled over a trapdoor, and about to be questioned by way of a pair of pliers to the face. Then someone's phone rings.
{{quote|'''Thug 1''': Da? ''[[[Beat]], in Russian]'' It's for her.
''He looks confused as he hands the phone to his boss.''
'''Russian official''': ''[Spouts angry Russian]''-
'''Coulson''': You are at 114 Salinski Plaza, 3rd floor. We have an F-22 exactly 8 miles out. Put the woman on the phone or [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|I will blow up the block before you can make the lobby.]]
''Russian official shakily holds phone to Natasha's ear.''
'''Coulson''': We need you to come in.
'''Natasha''': Are you kidding? I'm working.
'''Coulson''': This takes precedence.
'''Natasha''': I'm in the middle of an interrogation, this moron is giving me everything.
''Cut to bewildered Russian official.''
'''Russian Official''': I don't... [[Oh Crap|give her everything]]...? ''(He looks at Widow, and she does a little 'Yeah, you have' nod.)''
'''Coulson''': [[It's Personal|Barton's been compromised]].
([[Beat]])
'''Natasha''' ''(who, it must be noted, [[With My Hands Tied|is still bound hand and foot to a reasonably sturdy chair at this point]])'': ...Let me put you on hold. ''(Cue her going into [[Action Girl]] mode and beating the hell out of the three guys while [[Seen It All|Coulson waits patiently, listening calmly to the sounds of violence as though it's hold music.]] Then collecting her heels as she saunters off.)'' }}
** What sells it is the switch in her tone. How she was really playing up the part of a panicked captive, then Coulson calls and it pretty much like breaking character while shooting a scene. The Russians' bewildered expressions while wondering what the heck is going on is the icing on the cake.
** Which is followed by her swearing in Russian when Coulson tells her that she has to recruit Bruce Banner.
* Captain America orders some police around to set up a perimeter and ensure the safety of the civilians. While the cop in charge asks why he should follow him, Chitauri arrive and Cap just beats all of them to the ground. [[Asskicking Equals Authority|The cop then proceeds to relay the Captain's orders, word for word.]]
* The Avengers rendezvous in the streets to start the counter-attack against the Chitauri. Banner arrives... on a beat-up motorcycle. And observes, so casually that he sounds almost cheerful, "So, this all seems... horrible."
** I'll do ya one better. It was a ''scooter.''
* Best CPR ever: {{spoiler|Hulk roars to ''shock'' Tony into waking up.}}
** Even better, this was apparently [[Throw It In|ad-libbed]] by Mark Ruffalo.
** ''After''  {{spoiler|the Hulk wakes him up with a roar}}, we get this:
{{quote|'''Tony''': Please tell me nobody kissed me.}}
* [[Nick Fury]] (dis)regarding the [[Omniscient Council of Vagueness|World Security Council]] [[Nuke'Em|decision]] on the crisis:
{{quote|I recognize the council has made a decision, but given that it's a ''[[What Were You Thinking?|stupid-ass decision]]'', [[Sophisticated As Hell|I've elected to ignore it]].}}
* Banner's [[Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|Moment of Awesome]] as he transforms into [[The Hulk]] and lands a [[Megaton Punch]] on the Leviathan.
{{quote|'''Steve''': Doctor Banner? ...Now would be a really good time for you to get angry.
'''Bruce''': [[Wham! Line|That's my secret, Captain]]. [[Tranquil Fury|I'm always angry.]] }}
* Some [[Casual Danger Dialog]]:
{{quote|'''[[Black Widow (comics)|Black Widow]]''': [fighting off Chitauri soldiers at range alongside [[Hawkeye]]] It's just like [[Noodle Incident|Budapest]] all over again!
'''[[Hawkeye]]''': You and I remember Budapest ''very'' differently. }}
* Cap and Natasha are discussing the fastest way to get the top of the tower. Natasha just looks resigned as she sighs, "This will be fun," once they work out that that she has to bounce off Cap's shield in order hijack one of the Chitauri flyers.
* Fury shutting down Thor:
{{quote|'''Thor:''' I thought humans were more evolved than this.
'''Fury:''' ''Excuse'' me? Do we come to ''your'' planet and blow stuff up? }}
* In the trailer at the end of ''[[Captain America: The First Avenger|Captain America the First Avenger]]'', we see Cap punching a bag so hard it bursts. In the extended version of that scene in this film, after the bag is punched, we pan down to ''six more bags'', and he puts one on the chain and starts training again. After he's done talking with Nick, he takes a bag back with him to his room.
** Made a touch funnier in that it's called a 'heavy bag' for a reason, and super-soldier Rogers is casually picking one up.
*** ''And'' that he's doing it one-handed.
* Just before the big fight, as also noted on the MOA page, Cap ordering down a S.H.I.E.L.D agent while trying to commandeer a ride... with the gravitas of a true old soldier...
{{quote|'''Cap:''' [[Preemptive "Shut Up"|Son, just]] ''[[Preemptive "Shut Up"|don't]]''.}}
* Loki's line after he manages to  {{spoiler|trap Thor in the cell that Loki himself had occupied and was originally meant to contain the Hulk}} by using one of his illusions.
{{quote|'''Loki''': Are you ever ''not'' going to [[Continuity Nod|fall for that]]?}}
** The best part? Loki's probably been doing stuff like that since he was a toddler. Thor ''still'' fell for it.
* The finale of the Iron Man vs Thor [[Let's You and Him Fight|fight]].
{{quote|'''Captain America''': Hey! That's enough! Now, I don't know what you plan on doing here -
'''Thor''': I've come here to put an end to Loki's schemes.
'''Cap''': Then prove it. Put that hammer down.
'''Iron Man''': Uh, yeah, no, bad call! He loves his hamm-AAH!
''(Thor [[Foe-Tossing Charge|smacks Iron Man aside as he charges]] at Cap.)''
'''Thor''': '''''[[Chewing the Scenery|YOU WANT ME TO PUT THE HAMMER DOWN?!?]]'''''
''Thor '''[[Exact Words|puts]]''' the hammer '''[[Drop the Hammer|down]]''' - right on Cap's [[Made of Indestructium|Mighty Shield]].''
'''''[[Kung Fu Sonic Boom|BOOM.]]'''''
''([[Beat]]).''
''(Everyone gets up and looks around, bewildered at the collateral damage.)''
'''Cap''': [[Are You Done Yet?|Are we done here?]] }}
* Just loving the fact that after shooting down one plane, Fury turns to see the second one taking off. No longer armed with a rocket launcher, he pulls out his sidearm and momentarily levels it at the retreating jet.


Iron Man practically needs his own page.
* Between ''[[Iron Man (film)|Iron Man]] 2'' and ''The Avengers'', Tony Stark bought the MetLife building and has made all kinds of renovations, including installing the first production-model Arc Reactor. But his favorite renovation is [[Egopolis|his name on the building in giant letters.]]
{{quote|'''Tony''': It's like Christmas, but with more... me!}}
* Tony entering the briefing and then getting utterly confused that no-one else has invented his high-tech holographic computers.
{{quote|'''Tony''': (covering an eye to imitate Fury's eyepatch) How does Fury even see these?
'''Hill''': He turns.
'''Tony''': Sounds ''[[Brilliant but Lazy|exhausting!]]'' }}
* Tony Stark begins one of his signature rambling speeches by [[One of Us|accusing one of]] the [[Mission Control]] officers of playing ''[[Galaga]]'' on the job. The long scene ends with [[Brick Joke|one of the techies switching his screen back to the game when nobody's looking.]]
** What's great about the above two examples is that it's revealed to the audience that he's secretly planting a tiny device to hack into the S.H.I.E.L.D. computers and he's basically just distracting everyone by being a wiseass.
* Tony's attempt to blow off Agent Coulson:
{{quote|'''Coulson''': Mr. Stark, we need to talk.
'''Tony''': You've reached the [[Mythology Gag|life-model decoy]] of Tony Stark. Please leave a message.
'''Coulson''': This is urgent!
'''Tony''': Then leave it urgently.
(''The elevator opens, revealing Coulson''.)
'''Tony''': (''points at Pepper'') [[Brick Joke|Security breach! Your fault.]] }}
* Being playful with Bruce Banner:
{{quote|'''Tony''': You know, you should come by Stark Tower sometime, top 10 floors, all R&D. You'd love it, it's Candyland.
'''Bruce''': Thanks but, [[The Incredible Hulk (film)|the last time I was in New York]], I... kind of broke... [[Person of Mass Destruction|Harlem]].
'''Tony''': I promise a totally stress-free work environment, no surprises... (''[[Bullying a Dragon|shocks him]]'')
'''Bruce''': Ow!
'''Steve''': Hey! Are you nuts?
'''Tony''': Jury's out. (''to Bruce'') Nothing? You've really got a lid on it, huh? What's your secret? Relaxing jazz, bongo drums, huge bag of weed?
'''Steve''': Is everything a joke to you?
'''Tony''': Funny things are. }}
** The funniest bit about that is after he shocks him, Tony quickly looks intently at Bruce's eyes to see if there's any hint of the Hulk.
* Tony [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshading]] Thor's Shakespearean garb:
{{quote|'''Thor:''' [[You Have No Idea Who You're Dealing With|You have no idea what you're dealing with]].
'''Tony:''' Uh, Shakespeare in the park? "Doth mother know [[Superheroes Wear Capes|thou weareth her drapes]]?" }}
** Then after Thor shoots Iron Man with a lightning bolt.
{{quote|'''Jarvis''': [[Attack Backfire|Power at 400% capacity.]]
'''Tony''': [[Million-to-One Chance|How 'bout that?]] }}
* When Stark and Banner find out that they're both huge techno-geeks and rattle off a string of [[Techno Babble]] to each other:
{{quote|'''Bruce''': He'd have to heat the cube to 120,000,000 Kelvin just to break through the Coulomb barrier.
'''Tony''': Unless Selvig has figured out how to stabilize the quantum tunneling effect.
'''Bruce''': Well, if he can do that, he can achieve heavy-ion fusion at any reactor on the planet.
'''Tony''': Finally someone else who speaks English.
'''Steve''': (mumbling to himself) Was that what just happened?
'''Tony''': It's good to meet you Dr. Banner. Your work on anti-electron collisions is unparalleled. (''[[Beat]]'') [[The Last of These Is Not Like the Others|And I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster]].
'''Bruce''': (''chagrined'') ...Thanks. }}
* Tony's first interaction with Steve.
{{quote|'''Tony''': Still you're pretty spry for an... older fellow. What's your thing? Pilates?
'''Steve''': What?
'''Tony''': It's like calisthenics. You might have missed a couple things. You know, doin' time as a Cap-sicle. }}
* Tony forgets to factor in Steve's man-out-of-time issues while trying to fix the Helicarrier's busted engine, resulting in some sarcasm from Cap:
{{quote|'''Tony''': (''from inside rotor'') Okay, tell me what you see!
'''Steve''': (''staring at a bewilderingly high-tech panel'') [[Sarcasm Mode|It seems to run on some form of electricity]].
'''Tony''': Well, you're not wrong... }}
* Just before the climactic battle, Cap and Tony still  {{spoiler|grieving over Coulson's death}} discuss Loki's next move:
{{quote|'''Tony:''' That's the point. That's Loki's point. He hit all of us right at where we live. Why?
'''Cap:''' [[We ARE Struggling Together!|To tear us apart]].
'''Tony:''' Yeah, divide and conquer's... great... but, he knows he has to take us out for him to win, right? [[Glory Seeker|That's what he wants! He has to beat us, he has to be seen doing it.]] He needs an audience.
'''Cap:''' Right. [[Putting on the Reich|We caught his act in Stuttgart.]]
'''Tony:''' Yeah. That's just preview. This is opening night! And, Loki, he's a full-tilt diva, [[It's All About Me|he wants flowers, he wants parades]], [[Not So Different|he wants a monument built to the sky with his name plastered]] -
''([[Beat]] with Cap [[Fascinating Eyebrow|looking incredulously]] at [[Hypocritical Humor|Tony's choice of adjectives for Loki]].)''
'''Tony:''' [[Explain, Explain, Oh Crap|Sonofabitch.]] ({{spoiler|He realizes Loki will use his own Stark Tower for summoning the Chitauri.}}) }}
* Tony and Loki, threatening each other.
{{quote|'''Loki:''' I have an army.
'''Tony:''' We have a ''Hulk''. }}
* More [[Casual Danger Dialog]].
{{quote|'''Tony:''' Guys, I'm bringing the party to you.
''Flies from behind building chased by a Levithan''
'''Natasha''': I-I don't see how that's a party. }}
* The defeat of the third Leviathan also warrants a mention:
{{quote|'''Tony:''' You ever heard of [[Eat Me|Jonah]]?
'''Jarvis:''' I wouldn't consider him a role model. }}
* Iron Man's idea of a post-victory celebration.  {{spoiler|And they actually do it, in the ''other'' [[The Stinger|stinger,]] as everyone is exhausted from the battle, and are nodding to sleep as they try and eat their shawarma. [http://www.themovies.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/avengerendcred522012.jpg It was shown only in US releases].}}
{{quote|'''Captain America''': We won.
'''Iron Man''': [''recovering from [[Heroic RROD|RROD]]''] Alright, hey! Hooray! Good job, guys. Let's just not come in tomorrow. Let's just... take a day. Have y'ever tried shawarma? There's a shawarma joint about two blocks from here. I dunno what it is, but I wanna try it.
'''Thor''': We're not finished yet.
'''Iron Man''': ...and then shawarma after? }}
** There's almost no way anyone would notice it on the first viewing, but Tony actually bounces past a shawarma joint when he crash-lands after {{spoiler|diving through a Levithan}}. It's a blink-and-you-miss-it sort of thing, and is kind of amusing if you consider what it says about Tony. {{spoiler|"Well, that was stupid, but at least it worked... huh, shawarma. What's shawarma? I am kind of hungry. I should try that."}}
** That whole sequence gets bonus points just for being such a brilliant parody of the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]]'s traditional post-credits [[The Stinger|stingers]]. At any movie screening, it's inevitable that at least half the audience will wait until the end of the credits to catch some mind-blowing [[Sequel Hook]]. Here, they wait until the end of the credits... {{spoiler|and get to see six exhausted superheroes silently eating shawarma in a bombed-out cafe as the staff tries to mop up the post-alien invasion mess}}. [[Reality Ensues|Which is probably what would happen in real life]].
** Made even funnier by the fact that {{spoiler|Mark Ruffalo is obviously [[Corpsing]].}}
*** And even funnier by the fact that {{spoiler|Cap is even more obviously ''dead asleep''.}}
** And then the scene ends with Thor taking a massive, crunchy bite of his wrap with crumbs falling all over the table.
* Iron Man flying around a corner, popped a huge display of [[Flare Gun|flares]] at an oncoming Leviathan, then wondering what to do next.
{{quote|'''Iron Man:''' Okay, we got its attention. What the hell was step two?}}
* Iron Man to Loki: "Make a move, Reindeer Games."
* Iron Man to Hawkeye: "You might want to clench up, [[The Lord of the Rings|Legolas]]."
* Iron Man to Thor: "No hard feelings, [[Point Break]]..."
* Loki attempts to brainwash Tony by sticking his heart with the scepter as he did with Hawkeye and Selvig. Instead, it hits the arc reactor under his shirt with a clank. A moment of silence, and then Loki tries again. ''Clank.''
{{quote|'''Loki:''' ....that usually works.
'''Tony:''' Performance issues. It happens. }}
* Even during a tense moment, Tony gets in some snark:
{{quote|'''Steve''': Big guy in a suit of armor. Take that off, what are you?
'''[[Rhetorical Question Blunder|Tony]]''': [[Gadgeteer Genius|Genius]], [[Fiction 500|billionaire]], [[The Pornomancer|playboy]], [[Uncle Pennybags|philanthropist]]. }}
** Even more funny is Black Widow's nodding in agreement.
* The part where Tony reactivates the turbine, but Cap is too busy with the enemy to pull the emergency lever. This results in the former being trapped in the reactivated turbine.
** Made even better by the pinball-esque sound effects that accompany his bouncing around under the turbine.
* When Cap and Tony are arguing, Cap twice demands that Tony put on the suit so that they can go a few rounds. Then  {{spoiler|a brainwashed Hawkeye hits a turbine on the S.H.I.E.L.D carrier, exploding the room the group are in and dropping them to different sections of the ship}}.
{{quote|'''Cap''': (''urgent, non threatening tone'') Put on the suit.
'''Tony''': Yep. }}
