History Funny / IronMan1

* During the press conference at the end, when Tony admits that he is Iron Man, ever reporter in attendance gets up and starts asking him questions... with the conspicuous exception of the one who mocked his cover story as he was telling it, who just sits there with an IKnewIt expression on her face.

-->[[NoodleIncident "Let's face it, this is not the worst thing you've caught me doing."]]

* As Tony enters the first press conference, Obadiah Stane asks him if he has another cheeseburger, since he wanted it to look like he was glad Tony was back, just for the camera's sake. Even funnier, Tony says it's his last one, then pulls another out of his suit pocket and starts munching.

-->'''Whiplash 1''': I've got no idea.

* Tony in the Mark II suit turning off the repulsors, [[RealityEnsues then falling through the roof,]] [[GravityIsAHarshMistress piano, and one of his cars]]. Cue Dummy [[BrickJoke dousing him with fire extinguisher]].

** Flying with stabilizers (and the thrust capacity at 2,5%) goes a lot better than during the first test, but still not exactly well. Tony can barely control his movements, leading him to drift out of the testing area, nearly crashing into his own car(s) and sending papers flying everywhere as he hovers over his desk. All the while making increasingly panicked noises.

* The great unsung comedy moment of the movie, due entirely to Robert Downey, Jr.'s brilliant deadpan delivery:

'''Pepper Potts:''' I do anything and everything ''Mr. Stark'' requires... [[StealthInsult including occasionally taking out the trash]]. [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Will that be all?]]

--->'''Soldier:''' Is it true that you went twelve-for-twelve with the Maxim Girls last year?\\

[[caption-width-right:350:BrickJoke: you are clear for [[AccidentalPun landing]].]]

* When Tony shows up at the party and he thinks he sees Hugh Hefner and pats him on the back, only for "Hef" to turn around and be [[spoiler:[[CreatorCameo Stan Lee]]]].
** Behind-the-Scenes example. [[spoiler: Stan Lee]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mv1Q5t7Gn-U once said that while filming, he kept accidentally smacking one of the women next to him with the pipe in his mouth.]]

* [[spoiler:A dying Tony has just failed to grab the prototype Arc Reactor that Pepper saved and had monogrammed, and is lying there, beaten... until Dummy casually lowers it into frame. Doubles as a [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments CMOH]].]]

** This is made especially funny by the fact that during the next film, he ''does'' get the chance to control an armor.
** And at the same time, FunnyAneurysmMoment for Terrence Howard.

-->'''Tony''': I don't like it when you have plans.\\
'''Pepper''': I'm allowed to have plans on my birthday.\\
'''Tony''': Your birthday?\\
'''Pepper''': Yes.\\
'''Tony''': I knew that... already?\\
'''Pepper''': Yeah, [[SarcasmMode it's strange, isn't it]]? [[CaptainObvious It's just the same day as last year]].

--> "I don't want to see this on your Website/MySpace Page. Please, no gang signs... No, throw it up, I'm kidding."
--> "Yeah peace, I love peace! I'd be out of a job with peace..."

--->'''Tony''': ''[hears the guards yelling]'' Say something!\\
'''Yinsen''': He's speaking Hungarian. I don't know Hungarian!

-->'''Tony''': ''[dazed and shaking off pieces of the suit]'' Not bad.

-->'''Christine Everheart''': Even after all this time, Tony still has you picking up the dry-cleaning.
-->'''Pepper Potts''': I do anything and everything ''Mr. Stark'' requires... [[StealthInsult including occasionally taking out the trash]]. [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Will that be all?]]

---> '''Pepper''': I actually don't think that you could tie your shoes without me.\\
'''Tony''': I'd make it a week.\\
'''Pepper''': Oh really? What's your social security number?\\

'''Tony''': ...five.

-->'''Youtuber #1''': His tie jumped when he started yelling.\\
'''Youtuber #2''': The tie was in his way and paid the price.

-->'''Pepper''': Oh, what is that, some kind of device to pick the lock?\\
'''Coulson''': You might want to step back...

--> '''Tony''': Good boy...

--> '''Tony''': [[SarcasmMode Oh, it's nothing.]] [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction I'm just going into cardiac arrest]] because you ''yanked it out like a trout-''\\
'''Pepper''': [[BigWhat What!?]] I thought you said it was safe!

-->'''Tony''': Training exercise. Isn't that the usual B.S.?
-->'''Rhodey''': It's not that simple. ''[GilliganCut]'' An unfortunate training exercise involving an F-22 Raptor occurred yesterday. I am pleased to report that the pilot was not injured...

---> Okay, let's start things off nice and easy, see if 10 percent thrust capacity achieves lift. In three... two... one...\\

*** When he sees Dummy gearing up to spray him again after he lands, he responds exactly like a parent would respond to their toddler trying to stick an insect in their mouth.

-->'''Tony''': ''[hears the guards yelling]'' Say something!\\

''['''long''' pause]''\\

* "Okay, let's start things off nice and easy, see if 10 percent thrust capacity achieves lift. In three... two... one..." '''''*WHAM!*'''''

'''Tony:''' I didn't expect that.
* Tony in the Mark II suit turning off the repulsors, [[RealityEnsues then falling through the roof,]] [[GravityIsAHarshMistress piano, and one of his cars]]. Cue one of the workshop robots spraying him with fire extinguisher.
** He chews out Dum-E:

'''Tony''': ... Five.

** Doubles as {{Tearjerker}} when you realize that this is three months later - for Rhodey to remember that flippant, throwaway comment, how many times must he have replayed that conversation in his head, wishing he'd gone with Tony?
-->'''Rhodes:''' Next time you ride with me, okay?

--->'''Soldier:''' Is it true that you went twelve-for-twelve with the Maxim Girls last year?
--->'''Tony Stark:''' That is an excellent question. Yes and no. March and I had a scheduling conflict but fortunately the Christmas cover was [[TwinThreesomeFantasy twins]].

-->'''Tony''': (''hears the guards yelling'') Say something!

---> '''Pepper''': Oh really? What's your social security number?
---> '''Tony''': ... Five.

--->'''Pepper:''' I thought you said you were done making weapons.
--->'''Tony:''' It isn't. [[ExactWords This is a flight stabilizer]]. It's completely harmless.
--->[''The stabilizer shoots a blast of energy that knocks him onto his back'']
--->'''Tony:''' I didn't expect that.

--->'''JARVIS:''' Well, it is a tight fit, sir...
--->'''Tony:''' Ow!
--->'''JARVIS:''' Sir, the more you struggle, the more this is going to hurt.
--->'''Tony:''' Be gentle, this is my first time.

--> '''Pepper''': Oh, what is that, some kind of device to pick the lock?
--> '''Coulson''': You might want to step back...

-->'''Rhodey''': It's not that simple. (GilliganCut) An unfortunate training exercise involving an F-22 Raptor occurred yesterday. I am pleased to report that the pilot was not injured...

--->'''Tony Stark:''' That is an excellent question. [[NoExceptYes Yes and no]]. March and I had a scheduling conflict but fortunately the Christmas cover was [[TwinThreesomeFantasy twins]].

** Given how close the two are, and this is ''exactly'' the kind of thing Tony would say in the situation, he chuckles, finding it ActuallyPrettyFunny.

* During Tony's escape from the Afghanistan caves, he gets his gauntlet jammed in a rock face when trying to take out a soldier. Another one sees an opportunity for a BoomHeadshot. He walks right up beside Tony for point blank aiming and... The bullet ricochets off Tony's helmet, and [[BoomHeadshot back into]] [[HoistByHisOwnPetard the gunman's head]].

* As Tony enters the first press conference, Obadiah Stane asks him if he has another cheeseburger, since he wanted it to look like he was glad Tony was back, just for the camera's sake. Even funnier, Tony says its his last one, then pulls another out of his suit pocket and starts munching.

--->'''Tony Stark:''' If you douse me again and I'm not on fire, I'm donating you to a city college.

* A brief moment during the final fight scene. Tony's just started getting out of his suit, thinking that he's won and he can take it off, when Stane appears behind him. He turns and lifts his hand to deliver a repulsor blast... Only to find that he's already taken the armored glove off of it and his hand is bare. He actually turns his palm to stare incredulously at it for a second before getting slammed in the face.

-->'''Youtuber #1''': His tie jumped when he started yelling.\\
'''Youtuber #2''': The tie was in his way and paid the price.
** Some {{fanon}}s tend to change the scientist's response with ComicallyMissingThePoint variant: "Well, I'm sorry, I don't have a cave with a box of scraps."

--> '''Pepper''': Oh what is that, some kind of device to pick the lock?

** Also before that, when he took the device from his teammates, Coulson does it without even looking at said teammate or any other guys there as if to show they're already used to doing this. After that, Coulson and other agents turn their back from the door while waiting for the device to "explodes". During that time, their expressions are just like... [[SeenItAll they usually are]].
