Funny / Space Adventure Cobra

Go To


  • Cobra gets Strapped to an Operating Table by a Black Dragon henchwoman and jokes around about wanting to play doctor with her when he realizes she wants to tattoo him with a contraption made out of dozens of needles. Suddenly the tough action hero starts screaming in fear like a child.
    "NOOOOOOO! Stop! Please stop! T-time out! I don't want a dragon tattoo! Can't you at least make it Marilyn Monroe instead? And besides, I hate those needles! I get hives just looking at 'em!"
  • In the "Extradimensional Race" arc, Cobra is hiding in a Ghost Town watching news on TV when he realizes that a company started building a hotel right on top of his underground base. Their land development work is instantaneous — when Cobra rises from a telephone booth elevator, it is the only thing standing in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by giant tractors and pre-finished buildings being flown into place by rockets.
    "It's the end of the world..."
  • "The Golden Door":
    • A badly injured Cobra refuses to get carried into an ambulance because he's scared of hospitals, but when told that there are lots of pretty nurses there he gladly passes out with a laugh, cigar still in his mouth.
    • Cobra and Secret spend a date taking a taxi to Planet Galon on Christmas' Eve, with Cobra sitting next to her drunk with a party hat on his head while she explains how she must prevent Galon from crashing into the Sun. Her sultry and stoic appearance cracks as Cobra refuses to take that seriously and keeps flirting with her.
      Secret: Galon was suddenly thrown out of orbit. Now it's on a course to the center of the Solar System.
      Cobra: Lovely. Perfect for looking up at as we swear our eternal love to each other.
      Secret: OH, COBRA! It's nowhere near that romantic! The Planet Galon is on a collision course with the Sun!
      Cobra: So it's gonna burn with passion, just like you and me. Mmmmmmm...
    • Then the drunk Cobra stubbornly drops off the space taxi with a glass and bottle on hand but no jetpack on his back, requiring Secret to fly back to save his ass. "Only Santa Claus works sober on Christmas", he says.
  • Upon arriving at the Hell Crusaders' base, one hitman greets Cobra's group by shooting at their feet with his guitar gun. The pirate just smugly walks past the man, unblinkingly, even as he keeps shooting. Once inside, a mouse-man midget starts honking and leering at Cobra's ass until he turns back and threatens to turn the mouse into a duck by chopping his ears off. Then another guy asks if Cobra isn't forgetting anything, half gesturing a salute at him, and Cobra just disrespectfully repeats the gesture.
