History Funny / GuardiansOfTheGalaxy

'''Star-Lord''': I know... right? All the ''good'' ones were taken.

-->'''Rocket Raccoon:''' Well, Jack, you stand there and say: ''gee, Rocket Raccoon, I'm so glad you brought that unfeasibly large cannon with you...'' And I go like this! (fires gun, taking out all the creatures)

--->'''Iceman''': What?... I'd make a better princess than you.

** Rocket being the DM (and being really into it himself, too) is also kinda funny, considering that he's not the nerdiest Guardian around and that... well, it's [[SociopathicHero Rocket]], and he's looking pretty evil when he's narrating. One wonders what he's got in store for the players...

* The First Trailer of Awesomeness gives us... [[http://moviepilot.com/posts/2014/02/19/wanted-the-guardians-of-the-galaxy-1243166?lt_source=external,manual The Line Up]].

*** His profile states that he "has a tendency to bite"... just as the fuzzball snarls and spits at the screen.

'''Peter Quill''': Oh, I'm sorry. I don't know how this machine works...

*** It's a sci-fi film in the year 2014... and Quill owns a ''Walkman''. That says a ''lot'' about the guy [[FridgeLogic (like where would he get the batteries in space?)]].

** ...riding an Ent.

-->'''Quill''': So, this orb has a real [[Film/KissMeDeadly shiny blue suitcase]]-[[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk Ark of the Covenant]]-[[Film/TheMalteseFalcon1941 Maltese Falcon]] sort of vibe... what exactly is it?\\

* Prior to the prison break, Rocket's outlining the plan, and mentioning that yanking a certain component out of a fuse box is instrumental...
-->'''Rocket:''' ...Now this is important. Once the battery is removed, everything is gonna slam into emergency mode. Once we have it, we gotta move quickly, [[TemptingFate so you definitely need to get that]] ''[[TemptingFate last.]]''\\

'''Rocket:''' ''[shaking his head in resignation]'' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck ... Or we could just get it]] ''[[OhCrap first]]'' [[IndyPloy and improvise.]]

** When Groot removes the cover of the fuse box, he tosses it over his shoulder... only for it to hit a random passing prisoner on the head.

* "And this green whore is also..."

'''Rocket''': I’m giving you to the count of five. 5, ''4, '''3'''''...\\

'''Drax:''' I wasn't listening. [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} I was thinking of something else...]]\\

'''Peter''': I dunno... Twelve percent?\\

'''Groot''': ''[In a "to be fair..." tone]'' [[PokemonSpeak I]] ''[[PokemonSpeak am]]'' [[PokemonSpeak Groot.]]\\

'''Peter''': ...Yeah. Me.\\
'''Rhomann''': [{{Beat}}] ...This might not be the best idea.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkVCACf5fMU The opening credits]]. It starts with Peter exploring the ruins of an abandoned planet, using a projector showing the people that used to live there (including a kid playing with her dog). He quietly steps into the ruins, removes his mask, and takes out another device... his Sony Walkman. Redbone's "Come and Get Your Love" starts playing and he starts singing along and dancing around the ruins. He's splashing in puddles, kicking small rodent creatures, picking one of the rodents up and ''singing into it like a microphone'', and basically having a grand 'ol time. It definitely shows how much this movie doesn't take itself seriously.

** When they lyrics kick in ("''Hail...''") the titles appear in a massive, dramatic font over a shot of the ruins... with the tiny silhouette of Quill visible at the bottom of the screen, doing his very silly dance.

* Peter reveals that EveryScarHasAStory... and each of his not-so-{{Rugged Scar}}s basically amount to "one of his flings injured him in a fit of anger."

* After Quill saves Gamora from being ThrownOutTheAirlock, nearly at the cost of his own life... [[MomentKiller and promptly ruins it]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaaJyAjvajo Quill distracting Ronan]]... [[spoiler:by singing and dancing to "Ooh Child", complete with challenging him to a ''dance-off.'']] Ronan's facial expression is epically funny and it ''completely'' steals Ronan's thunder, negating his EvilGloating moments before. It's also [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness the first and only time]] Ronan drops his [[LargeHam usual]] [[KnightOfCerebus demeanor]] and formal language and speaks like a normal person. The entire movie slams to a halt as if it hit a brick wall. Ronan is completely dumbfounded. Gamora stares in confusion. Rocket and Drax have no idea what is going on. The civilians look absolutely puzzled. No one has any idea ''what the hell to do'', or even ''say.'' Even the soundtrack immediately cuts out as if to say "What the fuck?"

''(Quill continues gyrating in front of Ronan without giving a damn, even trying (and failing) to get Gamora to join in...)''

* Just when it looks like the team is going to have to deal with another whole squad of enemies after defeating Korath, Groot suddenly extends one of his arms out into a long vine that impales a whole row of mooks, using them as a bludgeon [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill to batter the rest of the mob into submission]], roaring like an enraged beast all the while... and when he's done, looks back toward his companions with a huge, hopeful 'did I do good?' grin, pictured above.

'''Drax''': ...Why would I put my finger on his throat?\\

'''Random Prisoner''': ...[[LameComeback That was my favourite knife]].

** Doubly hilarious when you realize that it is apparently possible to call whoever you want in this universe. You want a chat with the villain or the law enforcement who intends to arrest you? No problem, your call will connect...even with photo!!!!

* [[Creator/GlennClose Nova Prime]] calling the Kree ambassador a prick after he refuses to publicly denounce Ronan's terrorist actions. Her whole character is the epitome of a dignified, decorated leader for the Nova Corps... and even ''she'' [[NotSoAboveItAll falls victim to this movie's sense of humor.]]

** When they meet with the Collector, Quill dramatically presents the Orb to him... [[MomentKiller and drops it]], [[MusicalisInterruptus complete with the music cutting off suddenly]].

* While Yondu searches through the Broker's store for the Orb, he starts looking at some knickknacks, claiming that he likes to put them on his control console all in a row for display. This just seems like a ploy to get the Broker to lower his defenses... but during the final assault, [[BrickJoke we see the row of decorations right next to him]], including the blue thingy he was eyeing at the store.

--->'''Yondu:''' Look at its eyes... It... It follows you wherever you go... Hee hee hee! You can't fool it!

[[AC:...Meta]]

** When they lyrics kick in ("''Heyyy...''") the titles appear in a massive, dramatic font over a shot of the ruins... with the tiny silhouette of Quill visible at the bottom of the screen, doing his very silly dance.

* Star-Lord learns that Rocket knows about Ebay.

'''Rocket:''' I'm gonna say Ebay?\\
'''Star-Lord:''' How do you know about Ebay? And where's Adam?\\
'''Rocket:''' He blasted on ahead with the green 'n means. And why wouldn't I know about Ebay? Where you think I got my collector's edition of ''{{Film/Beaches}}''?

** From the same book, Rocket imagines having his own popular cartoon and visualizes it as an episode of WesternAnimation/RegularShow with Mordicai, Rigby, and Muscleman replaced with Groot, himself, and Drax respectively. Him and Groot are even doing the "Oooooooh" pose from the show.

-->'''Quill''': So, this orb has a real [[Film/KissMeDeadly shiny blue suitcase]]-[[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk Ark of the Covenant]]-[[Film/TheMalteseFalcon Maltese Falcon]] sort of vibe... what exactly is it?\\

** Becomes even after Vol. 2, since outside of battle, Drax's reflexes are the ''exact opposite'' of fast.

** What makes this even funnier is that by saying that metaphors "go over his head," Rocket was accidentally ''using metaphor himself'' even as he was explaining how Drax couldn't understand them!

*** As an almost unnoticed BrickJoke, Quill gives Yondu ''yet another'' dashboard knickknack[[spoiler:, an 80's Troll Doll, instead of the Infinity Gem]] -- and [[ActullyPrettyFunny Yondu gets a big grin on his face]] when it's revealed. [[spoiler:Double points because this means Yondu got [[StealthPun trolled]].]]

[[caption-width-right:350:Groot gives out a lovely smile after brutally smashing a group of Mooks]]

*** The fandom made it doubly hilarious by [[http://tyrinecarver.deviantart.com/art/I-Need-This-473939944?q=favby%3ATheWildWestPyro%2F55003901&qo=6 replacing]] the prisoner with the ''friggin'' '''[[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier Winter Soldier.]]'''

** It's made even funnier [[spoiler: when this is revisited during the Time Heist in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'': because he's listening to headphones, we don't hear the music - all we get it is him singing along to it. While they are watching this, Rhodey asks Nebula if Quill's an idiot, which she confirms.]]

** [[Spoiler: He's also as off-key as you'd expect.]]

-->'''Rhoman Dey''': Drax, A.K.A. The Destroyer. Since his wife and family were killed, he's been on a rampage across the galaxy in a search for vengeance.

-->'''Rhoman Dey''': Gamora. Soldier. Assassin. Wanted on over a dozen counts of murder.

-->'''Rhoman Dey''': Rocket. Wanted on over 50 charges of vehicular theft and escape from custody.

-->'''Garthan Saal''': What the hell...\\

-->'''Rhoman Dey''': Peter Jason Quill. He's also known as Star-Lord.\\

*** Even better when [[spoiler: Rocket [[AscendedMeme actually asks to buy Bucky's arm in]] [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Avengers: Infinity War]].]]

*** Even better when [[spoiler: Rocket actually asks to buy Bucky's arm in [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Avengers: Infinity War]].]]

*** Even better when [[spoiler: Rocket actually asks to buy Bucky's arm in [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar]].]]

* When Gamora says that they will have to wait to see the client interested in the orb, Drax says, "This is no respectable establishment! What do you expect us to do while we wait?" [[AnswerCut The next scene cuts away to Rocket, Groot, and Drax placing bets on small lizard monsters that are being chased and eaten by a larger lizard monster]] with Groot looking rather upset. Then we have this dialogue between Drax and Rocket:

'''Quill:''' [[SarcasmFailure Dance-off bro, you and me]].\\
''(Quill continues gyrating in front of Ronan without giving a damn...)''

--> "WHAT DO YOU STILL HAVE IT FOOOOOOOOR!?"

'''Peter''': ''Thank'' you, Groot! Thank you! '']pats him on the shoulder]'' See? Groot's the only one of you who has a clue.\\

** When they lyrics kick in ("''Heyyy...''") the title appears over a shot of the ruins... with the silhouette of Quill visible at the bottom of the screen, doing a very silly dance.

* A minor, blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment happens just as Ronan and Nebula depart for the Kyln. Ronan looks over his shoulder at Thanos, who just moments ago said "[Ronan's] demeanor is that of a pouty child". It can be hard to see due to the makeup, but if you look at his mouth you can see Ronan is jutting his chin out *just like a pouty child would*. Thanos was right on the money with that remark, and his grin after Ronan walks away might indicate he noticed it as well!

-->'''Rhomann Dey''': They call themselves the "Guardians of the Galaxy."\\
