History Funny / FantasticFour

* The team visits a research outpost in Antartica with everyone dreaded in heavy winter clothing. Johnny then follows them out wearing nothing but a bathing suit and sunglasses.

Yes, [[ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} THAT Jim Davis]]. It features Galactus as Garfield, and Silver Surfer as Jon. Kind of HilariousInHindsight considering that one Sunday strip had Garfield eat Earth at the end of a dream.

-->'''Reed:''' Black Bolt... It really is you. We had heard... I mean... Are you well?

* This gets even funnier when Squirrel Girl meets Galactus in [[ComicBook/UnbeatableSquirrelGirl her own book]] and reminds him that she once beat up Thanos:

* In "The Silver Surfer and the Coming of Galactus", Reed gives off a bit of technobabble, resulting in this exchange:
-->'''Ben:''' Can you give me that again in Swahili?\\
'''Reed:''' You don't speak Swahili.\\
'''Ben:''' And I don't understand what you just said, neither!
** The ''Frankenstein'' spoof Johnny and Ben are watching in the beginning of part one of episode doesn't have much to do with the plot, but it's funny.
-->'''Ben:''' That guy sounds just like Stretcho!
* An episode in the second season has a RunningGag that hangs a lampshade on Johnny and Crystal's StrangledByTheRedString status. Crystal sends out Lockjaw to guide Johnny to a secret meeting spot. [[EpicFail They never reach it.]] [[BrickJoke Even at the end]].
* There's an episode in which Sue not only is BrainwashedAndCrazy, but given an EvilCostumeSwitch that swears by EvilIsSexy. By the end, when she's released and her "controller" is defeated, she's still dressed up in it, and [[CovertPervert Reed]] is VERY pleased...
* Doom has some surprisingly funny SophisticatedAsHell moments:
** In "A Blind Man Shall Lead Them," when he has the Four and Daredevil dead to rights
--> '''Doom:''' I've made an interesting improvement in your ventilation system. I shall now suck all the air out of the room, and like the martyrs of Masada, you may watch each other die. ''[{{beat}}]'' Have a nice day. ''[EvilLaugh]''
*** There's only one problem: there ''were no martyrs'' at Masada. It's a myth.
** Later, when he sets the Reed's reactor in the Baxter Building to blow up half the city he exits with "What a pity, I never did get to see ''Theatre/{{Cats}}''."
*** Earlier from the episode we had Sue, being held prisoner by Doom, ridicule him for his original plan of holding her prisoner to lure the rest of the Fantastic Four into a trap. Doom's response
--> '''Doom:''' "Yes I'm so sorry to involve you in the time worn DamselInDistress cliche Mrs. Richards. I fear the only thing missing is the onrushing train. However sometimes expediency outweighs originality. [[VillainExitStageLeft Now with your permission.]]"
** When the Hulk has (seemingly) beaten Ben to death and Doom congratulates him, Hulk laments making Alicia cry. Doom replies with an ''utterly'' disinterested "She'll get over it."
* "When Calls Galactus":
** Galactus has been weakened, but both the FF and [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] are faring poorly against him. [[BigDamnHeroes All of a sudden]], ComicBook/GhostRider shows up totally out of the blue. A confused Thing then asks "Is everyone here on fire but me?" (as both Johhny and Nova (Frankie, not Richard) are present) and "When did this become a superhero convention?"
** Then, after Ghost Rider makes Galactus collapse via the Penance Stare, he leaves, making a confused Ben mutter "I gotta stop drinking Aunt Petunia's pink lemonade."

* In an issue of Mark Waid's run, Doom escapes his prison and returns to Latveria after a long while. [[ItMakesSenseInContext The first thing he sees is a Big Brother-style poster of Reed and the Latverian flag sporting a huge "4."]]

'''Nick Fury''': Beat it, [[SelfDeprecation you bums]]! I been threatened by experts!

* In Issue 3 of Dan Slotts Fantastic Four Reed tells Franklin that he needs him to hold off The Griever as part of his plan. Franklin is hesitant due to losing to The Griever last time so Spidey comes over to try and give him a pep talk. It sounds like he’s about to give him a “great power great responsibility” speech… and then Ben rips him away with a straight up “nope” and proceeds to talk to his god son his own way.
