History Funny / CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger

* Howard Stark's [[EstablishingCharacterMoment introduction at the Expo]]. Not only was it a great [[GenerationXerox Like Father Like (Future) Son]] moment, but the the flying car [[EpicFail spluttering and dying]] during its presentation and his quick recovery were hilarious!

** On a related note, Phillips' later description of Zola as "my new best friend" when he's debriefing the others.

--> '''Steve''': (''face still frozen in shock'') I had some ideas about my uniform (''hands note to Howard'').\\

** Another thing: When Peggy first fires the gun. The Camera switches to Howard, who is using his arm. To shield himself.

--> '''Erskine''': ... Not as much as I should have.

--> '''Steve ''': (''awkwardly'') I'm.... Captain America.

'''Phillips:''' ''I'm'' not kissing you!

* [[HeterosexualLifePartners Steve and Bucky's]] parting, which doubles as a CMOH.

* YourMilageMayVary but this troper found [[LargeHam "YOU!]] [[ChewingTheScenery ARE!]] [[YouHaveFailedMe FAILING]]!" to be hilarious. Hugo Weaving's facial expressions sold it for me.

-->(''Zola nervously studies his cell... [[OhCrap is that blood beneath that operating table]]...'')

--> '''Steve''': (face still frozen in shock) I had some ideas about my uniform. (hands note to Howard)\\
'''Howard''': (same expression) Whatever you want, pal. (takes note)

--> '''Kid:''' "Go get him! I can swim!"

-->'''Howard Stark:''' "Emission signature is unusual. Alpha and beta ray neutral, though I doubt Rogers picked up on that. Seems harmless enough; hard to see what all the fuss is about."
-->*Stark zaps the fragment with electricity, at which point it ''explodes'' and hurls him across the room.*
-->'''Howard Stark:''' *{{Beat}}* "Write that down."

--> '''Steve (awkwardly)''': I'm.... Captain America.

--> '''Peggy:''' "Go get 'im!"\\
'''Steve''': ''[stops, looks at Phillips]''\\
'''Phillips:''' "''I'm'' not kissing you!"

-->[Zola nervously studies his cell... ''is that blood beneath that operating table...'']
-->'''Phillips''': ''Sit down.''
-->[Phillips puts down a tray of food at a table]
-->'''Zola''': ''What is this?''
-->'''Phillips''': ''Steak.''
-->'''Zola''': ''What is in it?''
-->'''Phillips''': ''Cow.''
-->[Dr. Zola stares at it]
-->'''Phillips''': ''Doctor, do you realize how hard it is to get ahold of a prime cut like that out here?''
-->'''Zola''': ''I don't eat meat.''
-->'''Phillips''': ''Why not?''
-->'''Zola''': ''It disagrees with me.''
-->'''Phillips''': ''What about [[CyanidePill cyanide]]? Does that give you the rumbly tummy, too?''
** On a related note, Phillips's later description of Zola as "my new best friend" when he's debriefing the others.

* When the Skull and Zola are fleeing from their exploding lab, Zola points out that the Skull's escape [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triebflugel Triebflugel]] only seats one. The Skull responds by calmly turning to Zola and handing him the keys to his car.

* When the Skull and Zola are fleeing from their exploding lab, Zola points out that the Skull's escape jet/helicopter only seats one. The Skull responds by calmly turning to Zola and handing him the keys to his car.

* The scene where Howard is testing the fragment of the cube Steve took from the Hydra base and blowing himself across the room. "Write that down!"

-->'''Phillips''': ''What about [[CyanidePill cyanide]]? Does that give you the rumbly tummy, too?''

* When presented the challenge of grabbing a flag on a very high flagpole (the reward is a jeep ride back to base with Carter), the other soldiers scramble all over each other trying to scale the pole. But (pre-supersoldier) Rogers outsmarts his stronger squadmates by simply [[CuttingTheKnot detaching the pole's anchor bolts and letting it fall over]], rather than trying to scale it. The soldiers' and drill instructor's faces when he pulls it off are priceless.

--> '''Erskine''': ...Not as much as I should have.

* Just about every word that comes out of [[TommyLeeJones Colonel Philips']] mouth, but his interrogation of Arnim Zola takes the cake... Or is that steak?

* When Red Skull is being chewed out by the SS officers, he makes a hysterical 'One Two Three' motion with his fingers, pointing at the Nazis, just so he can adjust his death ray properly. All without pausing in his speech.

* In a DeletedScene, Philips scolds Steve for blowing off his award ceremony which resulted in Senator Brandt being humiliated, Philips than cracks a smile and says that he deserves a medal just for that.

* Phillips' "He's making me cry" line regarding Steve really cracks me up. It has everything to do with Tommy Lee Jones' delivery, which is completely deadpan, with his face as neutral as it always is.

--> "''I'' do not have procedure tomorrow. Drink it after? I drink it now."

** Anther thing:When Peggy first fires the gun. The Camera switches to Howard, who is using his arm. To shied himself.

* Erskine proposing a toast to Rogers the night before his procedure before remembering that Rogers can't have any fluids, so he snatches Rogers' glass away and drinks it down for himself.
--> "''I'' do not have procedure tomorrow."

* Jones and Dernier in the pub. [[BilingualBonus Understanding French turns it into]] [[ComedicSociopathy another kid of funny]].

--> "Qveens."
* Bucky's reaction to Red Skulls true face:

** Gotta love the part when some kids in the audience notice the Hitler impersonator sneak onto the stage, and say things like, "There he is, Cap! LookBehindYou!"

* YourMilageMayVary but this troper found [[LargeHam "YOU!]] [[ChewingTheScenery ARE!]] [[YouHaveFailedMe FAILING]]! to be hilarious. Hugo Weaving's facial expressions sold it for me.

* YourMilageMayVary but this troper found [[LargeHam "YOU!]] [[ChewingTheScenery ARE!]] [[YouHaveFailedMe FAILING]] [[ThisIsSPARTA ME!"]] to be hilarious. Hugo Weaving's facial expressions sold it for me.

* Jim Morita's indignant response (with zero accent) when a GI wonders why they have to rescue a Japanese soldier as well.

* [[HeterosexualLifePartners Steve and Buck's]] parting, which doubles as a CMOH.

* "That wasn't so bad." "...That was just ''penicillin''."

* "Do you have any idea how to use that thing?" [[UnsoundEffect *KA-TESSERACT*]] "[[DeadpanSnarker ...Okay.]]"

I can guarantee that line got a lot of laughs in Fresno itself.

* When Steve is breaking the prisoners out of HYRA's base.
-->'''American Soldier''': Who the hell are you supposed to be?
-->'''Steve''': I'm, uh...Captain America.
-->'''British Soldier''': ''(bemused)'' ....I beg your pardon?

-->"You don't have one of those do you?"
