History Funny / TheAvengers

** After jumping into the fight during the Challenge of the Ghost Riders arc,

** After the ''ComicBook/WarOfTheRealms'', Steve finds Tony (wearing a helmet) and Thor (with Mjolnir) in the hot tub. He vacillates, as he doesn't have his swimsuit. The response? "Neither did we."
*** Immediately after, they're joined by Robbie (who's keeping his shirt on because he's conscious that he's not as ripped as any of the Big 3), Carol (who's at least wearing a tank top), and She-Hulk... who dispenses with all clothing. Steve politely covers his eyes. [[AmazonChaser Thor]] is delighted. Tony is disturbed, yet fascinated.

** The cover for issue #15 is the Shadow Colonel's lieutenants pointing their weapons at Ghost Rider while the dog looks at the reader and says, "Buy this comic or we'll kill this Avenger".

** After the ''ComicBook/WarOfTheRealms'', the Avengers have found the hot-tub, and Steve finds Tony (wearing a helmet) and Thor (with Mjolnir) already in. He vacillates, as he doesn't have his swimsuit. The response? "Neither did we."

*** Tony's carrying the Starbrand baby in a baby carrier strapped to his suit. The entirety of issue 35 is {{Funny Background Event}}s of the baby's changing expressions (which are all adorable), copying Tony and Carol's movements, and when Carol takes the baby carrier so Tony can stay to hold off Khonshu, the baby giving the Moon God an ''epic'' DeathGlare and prepared to meet it head on.

** Thor and the Hulk (Jen Walters, now more like classic Hulk) are a thing. Tony's reaching for the BrainBleach.

** After the ''ComicBook/WarOfTheRealms'', the Avengers have found the hot-tub, and Steve finds Tony (wearing a helmet) and Thor (with Mjolnir) already in. He vacillates, as he doesn't have his costume. The response? "Neither did we."
*** Immediately after, they're joined by Robbie Reyes (who's keeping his shirt on because he's conscious that he's not as ripped as any of the Big 3), Carol (who's at least wearing a tank top), and She-Hulk... who dispenses with all clothing.

* One of the wackier elements of the first Avengers story is the Hulk getting a job at a circus by pretending to be a superstrong robot named Mechano.

* One issue has most of the team sitting through an award ceremony for Captain America.... except that the they're all completely bored out of their minds. When its pointed out that Iron Man is the only one sitting attentively and showing respect... there's a closeup and snoring is coming from the suit.

* When the Avengers first encounter Zemo and his Masters of Evil, we're treated to a hilarious flashback where Zemo had Adhesive X poured on him, resulting in his mask getting glued to his face. As if that wasn't funny enough, during the 20 years he had it stuck he never thought to look for a solution until someone else mentioned it offhand.

* In "The Curious Case of the Countless Clues", the Franchise/SherlockHolmes {{Expy}} falls for the false clues left by the killers, while Steed remains less than convinced.
-->'''Steed:''' And clumsy.\\
'''Sir Arthur Doyle:''' Clumsy?\\
'''Steed:''' Well look around, they've left everything except their name and address.
* In "Death at Bargain Prices," Emma Peel is working undercover as a department store clerk:
-->'''Steed:''' I asked the chief predator where to find you and he said, "Our Mrs. Peel is in ladies' underwear." I rattled up the stairs three at a time.
** Later in the episode, a knife gets thrown at Steed. He deflects it with a cricket - and it hits a dartboard. This prompts a pleased {{Squee}} from him.
--> "It's all in the grip."
** The very end has him summing up the situation (where the villains had been planning to blow up the department store).
--> "We saved them from the biggest closing down sale in history."
* In "The Danger Makers," Emma receives a box of chocolates from a suspect in the case, and Steed treats it as if it is a bomb:
-->'''Steed:''' (''after carefully opening the box with a knife and tweezers'') Ah, thought so.\\
'''Mrs. Peel:''' Booby trapped?\\
'''Steed:''' (''gingerly removing a wrapped piece with the tweezers'') Whatever you do, don't touch the wrapped ones.\\
'''Mrs. Peel:''' Why not?\\
'''Steed:''' Because I like them. (''he pops it in his mouth as Emma slams the box shut'')
* In "The Hour That Never Was," Steed and Mrs. Peel are forced to walk to a soon to be abandoned RAF base because a dog had run in front of their car, causing Steed to crash:
-->'''Steed:''' This stretch of road hasn't changed in years. Cross the bridge, through the trees, across green grassy banks to RAF Station 472 Hamelin. I've driven across this road a hundred times during the war.\\
'''Mrs. Peel:''' Well, since you know it so well, it's remarkable you couldn't stay on it.
* Also from the same episode:
-->'''Steed:''' Returning from a mission, hunched over the controls, eyes rimmed with fatigue, the men groaning in the back.\\
'''Mrs. Peel:''' Where had you been, the war?\\
'''Steed:''' No, the local pub.
* In "Silent Dust," Steed leaves Mrs. Peel alone at the pub so he can approach a local woman and get some information:
-->'''Steed:''' I'll see what I can pick up here.\\
'''Mrs. Peel:''' I'm sure you'll pick up... something.
* "The Hidden Tiger" is full of them, thanks to a generous dose of cat puns.
** When Steed is worried the cats will give him away, he whispers "I'll be as quiet as a mouse."
** The villains sum the situation up as "cats are going to kill the curious in this case..."
** Mrs Peel gets the last one in as the episode ends.
--> '''Steed:''' By acting as we did, we narrowly averted a terrible...
--> ''He stands in her paint bucket.''
--> '''Mrs Peel:''' Catastrophe.
*** When the cat Mr Cheshire gave her scratches her, Mrs Peel remarks "I think that's grounds for divorce."

* From one of the ''Inhumanity'' tie-in issues, the Micro-dimensional warlord Lord Gouzar (who the Avengers have met before) suffers what might be one of the most embarrassing one-sided defeats ever, getting trodden on by a giant-sized little girl who he'd just been threatening to kill.

'''Steed:''' Well look around, [[GenreSavvy they've left everything except their name and address]].

From ''Avengers Assemble'', Carol Danvers doesn't let Anya finish asking them for help regarding a stolen cocoon, and says Anya is "young and riles easy." Carol apologises after Anya finally finishes explaining. Anya's response? "S'okay. You're old. You rile easy." After, she gets a fist-bump from Spider-Woman.

* Ares, God of War. Worst wingman ever, or ''best'' wingman ever? While out superheroing with Ares, Wonder Woman finds himself in need of a car, and happens to find an attractive woman who loved his old show...

From ''Avengers Assemble'', not to be confused with the cartoon of the same name:
* Basically all of Anya's dialogue in the ''Inhumanity'' tie-ins count.

** The awkward elevator conversation between Team Spider Lady. Anya asks if BlackWidow is named after the spider or "a sad lady who lost her...". After Widow tells her, she dubs the team 'Team Spider Lady'. Then changes her mind and goes with 'Team Lady Spiders', then finally, because of Natasha, attempts to call the team 'Team [[IncrediblyLamePun Spy-der]]--' before being cut off.
