Funny / Superhero Movie

Go To

  • Rick selling pictures of himself in his superhero costume to a newspaper ala Spider-Man, except it's literally just him in his costume taking selfies. When one of the journalists points this out, Rick "proves" that they are different people by showing a picture of Rick posing with a mannequin dressed in his hero costume.
  • "Give me 5 minutes!"
  • The parody of the Spidey-MJ upside-down kiss is just plain brilliant. The ladder on which Dragonfly stands suddenly lowers enough to turn a kiss into something else.
    • Another scene from that movie is lampooned, with Rick hanging on the ceiling and being... unable to hold his urine in. At first, he pisses normally, then like a sprinkler.
  • "We have students who can walk through walls. We have students who think they can walk through walls."
  • "JESUS CHRIST!!" "Amen."
  • The snail apparently humping Rick's shoe.
  • Dr. Strom Screams Like a Little Girl in terror as he watches Lou Landers kill everyone else in the room.
  • This:
    Lou Landers: Of course, I've never married.
    Jill Johnson: (offering a piece of cake) Fruitcake?
    Lou Landers: Nope, just never found the right woman.
  • "This is healthy cough blood."
  • Landers slams an hourglass on the floor, and glass gets in his eye. One of Dr. Storm's suggestions?
    Storm: Take it out with another piece of glass!
    Storm: ...I'll get the tweezers.
  • This exchange:
    Hourglass: Titanium blades. They cut through diamonds.
    Dragonfly: I'm not wearing any diamonds!
  • After their first fight, Hourglass uses one of his bombs to blast a hole in the wall for an exit... less than three feet away from the hole he made to make his entrace.
  • Rick showing off his costume for the first time, only to quickly realize he didn't include any air holes or a way to see.
  • Whatever you do, don't use flash photography on the genetically engineered animals, otherwise they'll burst into flames.
  • Deleted scenes from the Dragonfly beginning his crime-fighting career saving a couple, beating up bad guys, and helping a guy get ketchup out of the bottle.
  • At a funeral:
    Priest: We are gathered today to say goodbye to Lucille Adams.
    Mourners: BYE!
  • Rick and Landers' increasingly outlandish explanations for their injuries. Culminating in this little exchange:
    Landers: And you have a cut on your lip.
    Rick: My... crack pipe broke.
  • What does Rick do when one of Hourglass's bombs ends up on his crotch? He turns to Jill and says "I need you to jerk this off!"
    "Oh, FUCK!"
  • "A dragonfly who can't even fly! (laughs) (suddenly stops) I can fly. I can fly."
  • Despite going through depression, Rick's Beard of Sorrow is actually fake.
  • Leslie Nielsen saying "Don't forget the bitches."
  • Rick discussing his made-up conversation with his superhero persona with Jill as a roundabout way to tell her how he feels becomes a lot less dramatic when his elderly aunt starts cutting some serious cheese while sleeping on the couch right next to them. Cue the wallpaper literally curling and the caged canary feinting. Yes, when it comes to fart jokes in this movie it's go either big or go home, and they went industrial-size.
  • During a confrontation between Dragonfly and Hourglass the camera spins around them dramatically. However it get too much for them and they actually stop their fight and tell the camera to halt before they throw up. Dragonfly even asking if Hourglass is okay...he wasn't.
  • The scene where Rick heads to the newspaper office and finds who seems to be J. Jonah Jameson, only to find out he was an escaped mental patient.
    Lunatic Editor: No, you listen to me! I want that story on my desk or you're fired! [hangs up] WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!
    Rick: I was wondering if you had a job opening...
    Lunatic Editor: Job? How dare you come in here and ask me for a job?! I'm the editor-in-chief! [two male nurses carry him out] I know the mayor of Venus! Hamburgers can see the future! Rosie O'Donnell is my mentor!
    Actual Editor: Sorry about this, we share the building with a mental hospital.
  • "Look on the words your ancestors inscribed on that ring: Honor, valor, sacrifice, duty, commitment, bravery, justice, integrity, brotherhood, self-esteem, low prices, affordable housing, loose-fitting pants, cheap internet porn... The rest is in Latin."
  • Lou Landers' excuse to leave Thanksgiving Dinner.
    Lou Landers: I'm sorry, Lance. We have to go.
    Lance Landers: Why?
    Lou Landers: (A beat as he tries to think up an excuse) I... shat my pants.
Lance Landers: I'll drive.
* Rick revealing he has superpowers to his uncle and Trey after catching a nail Albert fired at him.
Uncle Albert: My God! How did you do that?
Rick: It's easier than it looks.
Uncle Albert: (shoots Trey in the hand point blank, causing him to moan in pain) No, I don't think so. Why don't you tell me what's going on?
Rick: Alright, but you have to keep it a secret. I think I have...superpowers.
Uncle Albert: I find that hard to believe.
Rick: Ok, Go ahead and throw as many punches as you want- I bet you a hundred bucks you don't land one. [Sticks out his face smugly]
Uncle Albert: (turns and punches Trey in the face) Easy money! What else can you do?
