While the comic may primarily be a horror-focused story, it's not afraid to alleviate that feeling of dread and Nightmare Fuel with some pretty great moments of humor.
- The bartender recounting his near-miss with the Hulk... and how later, he came back and trashed the guy's car.Bartender: Yeah, that was him. (beat, as he glances about nervously) And he SUCKS!
- As it turns out, in college, Bruce decided to emulate Einstein by donating his clothes to Goodwill, and buying ten identical suits... and ten identical pairs of purple pants.Bruce: It's called style, Walter. I've studied current trends. If anything, this will only become more fashionable.
- During issue 6, Bruce's monologuing about how the Hulk is telling him he needs to go back to his childhood home, but then he abruptly stops when he realizes the bright light coming up behind him isn't that of a car.
- In issue 8, Hulk's dismembered hand Flipping the Bird to Dr. Clive.Dr. Clive: ...Charming.
- In issue 14, Tony Stark offers to give Betty Ross a ride home, mentioning that he'd built a jet that transformed into a robot which he'd named "the Starkscream".
- It's extra funny because Transformers was formerly a part of Marvel and crossed over with it a few times.
- In issue 15, Devil Hulk complains about his creepy behaviour way back when he first appeared, apparently a result of Bruce's issues.
- As he explains his mostly environmental-based motivation for destroying mankind, Samson comes to the realization that he's effectively the Green Hulk.Devil Hulk: (like he just realized he walked right into this one) ...Do you think this is funny?
- As he explains his mostly environmental-based motivation for destroying mankind, Samson comes to the realization that he's effectively the Green Hulk.
- Issue 18 has Bruce waking up after several days of Joe Fixit playing runaround in his body, and having to imitate him, followed by Bruce finally wondering why Joe even has his distinctive accent.
- In issue 22, Bruce is so freaked out by Betty having become the Harpy and refusing to change back that he's forced to drop control of his body... and is immediately replaced by Joe, who is completely unfazed by the Harpy, then he cheerfully flirts with her and compliments the new form.
- As seen in the page image:
Hulk investigates the former headquarters of Shadowbase, and falls into an ambush. They use special daylight simulators to turn him back into Bruce, then Bushwacker attacks him. Panicked, Bruce switches personalities to Joe Fixit. Joe tries to fight Bushwacker, but injures his hand on the agent's hard plastic skin. Joe promptly pulls a Wolverine and knees Bushwacker in the balls.Joe: Guess those aren't plastic. - Even as a world-smashing Eldritch Abomination, whatever's left of the Hulk still has enough modesty to kill the universe with a pair of shorts on in issue 25.
- From the Absolute Carnage tie-in, we get a look into what the inside of Bruce's fractured mind looks like. Joe interrupts what Bruce is doing to yell about the fact that instead of the familiar Grey Hulk in a nice suit and fedora, it's Bruce with a Porn Stache and a gaudy Disco Dan suit. Meanwhile, regular Hulk's only contribution is to yell at "stupid Banner" for how things have gone with Betty and stomp off, and Devil Hulk... looks like his original appearance, leading to the surreal sight of Bruce trying to have a calm conversation with a scaly, red-eyed demonic lizard Hulk.
- Dario Aggar is at a board meeting when he is informed the Hulk is attacking his assets, and in his fury he grabs the man who told him and crushes his skull... and then apologizes to the other board members and says he needed a "stress ball".
- The Savage Hulk bursting out of Banner's body is a pretty horrific sight. That said, Samson's understated "That is...not normal" preceding it darkly hilarious.
- The Hulk is contained aboard a space station. Said space station is blown open by a Hulk-level weapon brought aboard for the Hulk. Crusher Creel actually points out the stupidity of bringing aboard such a weapon.
- Creel: Don't breathe too hard on that glass or we'll all be out there—Titania: Carl—
- After Joe takes over and breaks out of confinement (by knocking out his captors with the butt of a stolen rifle), he runs across Samson's posse, who explains how Joe is Banner's more rational personality.Samson: It's good news. Joe's actually very reasonable these days. Much more than he used to be-Joe Fix-It: (from off-panel) Yep.Joe Fix-It: (smiling) That's me all over. Reasonable.
- The Close on Title for Issue 40 will probably make you want to slap Al Ewing:
- While Joe Fixit is on the run, he says his name is "Mr. Grey" to a pawnbroker, who quips "As in Christian?" referring to the infamous protagonist of Fifty Shades of Grey.
- When Hulk was fighting the U-Foes, they each take turns fighting him with X-Ray asking for his turn, when it comes time for they they end up throwing him out of Manhasset on over the water. This exchange is priceless:Vector: Okay, then. I guess we're picking this up in New Jersey.X-Ray: Is it my turn yet?
- During his rematch with the Avengers, Blade points out the similarities between Devil Hulk and a vampire, and Hulk responds by asking if Blade turns into a bat, before throwing Blade all the way to the stratosphere, forcing Iron Man to go catch him.
- The cover to Issue 48, where Hulk sits solemnly in the foreground as Joe woos Red Harpy with a bouquet of flowers.
- In one issue, Walter Langowski is shot and killed... and unlike other Hulk-connected gamma-infused characters, does not eventually come back to life. The members of Alpha Flight decide to keep his corpse in cryogenic storage on the off-chance that he eventually returns from the dead. And a few issues later, it's revealed that apparently they've decided to make his crypod useful by using it as a coffee table.
- The fact that you can genuinely summarize the finale as "The Hulk yells at God".
