--->'''Tony Stark:''' I am Iron Man, the suit and I are one. To turn over the suit is to turn over myself which is equivalent to indentured servitude or prostitution depending on what state you're in. You can't have it. ''[This earns him laughter from the gallery]''\\

*** [[BlackComedy As for the failures]]? The North Korean mecha/suit has its legs give way under its own weight, causing its gatling gun to go off and shoot everyone around it. The Iranian suit loses control of its thrusters and does a rocket-propelled flip through the air before crashing into the ground. And in Hammer Industries' case, the top half of the suit ''rotates 180 degrees around and twists the guy's spine.'' CrossesTheLineTwice at its best, especially with the pilot's horrified, agonized scream. Justin Hammer frantically tries to block the TV as it's showing his failed prototype.

'''Justin:''' [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat I'd like to point out that that test pilot survived]].

* One standout scene was SHIELD agent Coulson finding something that looks a lot like ComicBook/CaptainAmerica's shield amongst the clutter of Tony's laboratory. Tony asks Coulson to hand it to him, since it's exactly what he needs to deal with his current problem... and [[MundaneUtility shoves it underneath his equipment to make it level]].
** This is even [[HilariousInHindsight funnier]] after Coulson's Captain America fanboy status is revealed in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' movie.
** Coulson gets another one earlier; he is assigned to keep Tony from leaving his house. Tony acts like himself, and Coulson just grins and threatens to tase our hero, and then watch Super Nanny while Tony drools into the carpet. Becomes HilariousInHindsight when it was revealed later that Coulson already met Captain Marvel at this point and know what she's capable, meaning that, for him, dealing with Tony is like dealing with an ant.

** The donut in general. Tony lounging around in full armor except for the mask in a donut shop's giant donut, pigging out because he's slowly dying. In character but utterly ridiculous. FridgeLogic reveals a OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: he must have walked into the donut shop in full armor to buy those. Like the UncomfortableElevatorMoment in ''Spider-Man 2'', but even more so.

** There's something strangely hilarious about a man wearing millions of dollars of hi-tech weaponry, the head of the world's top espionage agency, and a professional shadow/spy all lounging around a doughnut booth like this is perfectly normal behavior.

* Happy almost crashing the car while Romanoff changes into her Black Widow suit.

-->'''Romanoff:''' [[AllMenArePerverts Eyes on the road.]]

'''Pepper:''' She did ''quite'' a spread on Tony last year.\\

'''Pepper:''' It was very impressive, very well done...

* Also, Pepper's reaction when she found out Tony was dying. (Keyword being was.)

* Tony having Fury appoint Senator Stern to present his award for defeating Whiplash. Stern is ''clearly'' not happy about it. Said senator actually gets one himself in the process when he 'accidentally' pokes Stark with the medal pin. The better part? [[spoiler:Stern is a Hydra agent, meaning that Tony make fun of Hydra without even knowing it.]]

** Fury ranting to Tony that he isn't the centre of the his universe and Fury has bigger problems. Fury sounds like he's scolding a disobedient child.

** Coulson gets another one earlier; he is assigned to keep Tony from leaving his house. Tony acts like himself, and Coulson just grins and threatens to tase our hero, and then watch Super Nanny while Tony drools into the carpet.

*** You may regret your decision to leave as CEO of your own company now Tony. good job buddy.

'''Black Widow:''' Well, according to Stark's security guidelines his suits have redundancies preventing ''unauthorised access''.

--->'''Tony Stark:''' I am Iron Man, the suit and I are one. To turn over the suit is to turn over myself which is equivilant to indentured servitude or prostitution depending on what state you're in. You can't have it. ''[This earns him laughter from the gallery]''\\

-->[[spoiler: ''[after Happy runs into Whiplash]'']]\\

Tony asks Coulson to hand it to him, since it's exactly what he needs to deal with his current problem... [[spoiler:and [[MundaneUtility shoves it underneath his equipment to make it level]].]]
** This is even [[HilariousInHindsight funnier]] after Coulson's [[spoiler:Captain America fanboy status]] is revealed in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' movie.

* Hammer's [[spoiler:ridiculously hyped Ex-Wife missile]]'s magnificent [[EpicFail un-success]].
-->'''Rhodey:''' [[spoiler:I'm going to bust his bunker with the Ex-Wife!]]\\
'''Tony:''' [[spoiler:With the what?]]\\
[[spoiler:''[missile spends some five seconds charging up, complete with a one-two-three beeping sequence, then flies at Vanko, only to bounce harmlessly off Vanko's suit into a puddle and fizzle out]'']]\\
'''Tony:''' [[spoiler:Hammer tech?]]\\
'''Rhodey:''' [[spoiler: ''[dejected tone]'' Yeah.]]

** [[spoiler: The Ex-Wife]] doesn't just fizzle out. It makes [[ToiletHumor a farting noise as well.]]

--->''"The party's over... of course, for me the party was over, like, an hour and a half ago. '''THE AFTER-PARTY STARTS IN 15 MINUTES!!!'''"'' [[spoiler:It's a cue that Tony completely lost it, forcing Rhodey to don the Mk.II silver armor and engage him in [[IncrediblyLamePun suitball-busting combat]].]]

-->"[[spoiler:Put on [[AutobotsRockOut a phat beat]] for me to beat my buddy's ass to.]]" (Added points for being in what is obviously a ThrowItIn outtake, since [[{{Corpsing}} Tony briefly cracks up]].)

* Tony and Pepper [[spoiler:having an intimate moment after the day is saved, [[MomentKiller only to be disturbed by Rhodes, who had been watching them the entire time]].]]

* Tony having Fury [[spoiler:appoint Senator Sterns to present his award for defeating Whiplash. Sterns is ''clearly'' not happy about it. Said senator actually gets one himself in the process when he 'accidentally' pokes Stark with the medal pin.]]

-->'''Tony:''' "Mr. Stark displays compulsive behavior." In my own defense, that was a week ago. "Prone to self-destructive tendencies." [[spoiler: I was dying]], I mean please. And hey, aren't we all? "[[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne Textbook... narcissism]]"? ''[looks up at Fury.]''\\

* Tony's line when [[spoiler:he inserts the arc reactor with its new core into his chest, curing his palladium poisoning and granting him previously unimaginable amounts of power]]:

* Black Widow [[spoiler:[[OffhandBackhand casually macing a Hammer guard]] as she walks past him. Moments later, Happy, who finally managed to drop the one Hammer guard at the front, turns to yell in triumph, only to see an entire hallway littered with unconscious guards that Romanoff casually took down in the same time it took him to defeat just one.]]
* Tony has some good ones as well. Being [[spoiler:chased by War Machine and a swarm of Hammeroids]]:

* At one point, while being chased by [[spoiler: Rhodey's hijacked armor and a ton of Hammerdroids]], Tony flies through a parking garage. [[https://youtu.be/yPr6gmMG-H0?t=23s As you'd expect, this triggers a single car alarm.]] [[spoiler:[[https://youtu.be/yPr6gmMG-H0?t=26s Cue Rhodey and the Hammerdroids flying after him and setting off the alarms of]] ''every other car in the garage''.]]

--->'''Tony Stark:''' Let the record reflect that I observe Mr. Hammer entering the chamber and I am wondering if and when any actual expert will also be in attendance.
** Tony hacks into the computers from his PDA over wi-fi and has it display "WELCOME MR. STARK" in ASCII art. Followed immediately with footage from other people's pathetic failed attempts to create Iron Man suits.

*** [[BlackComedy As for the failures]]? The North Korean mecha/suit has its legs give way under its own weight, causing its gatling gun to go off (and kill the cameraman in the process). The Iranian suit loses control of its thrusters and does a rocket-propelled flip through the air before crashing into something. And in Hammer Industries' case, the top half of the suit ''rotates 180 degrees around and twists the guy's spine.'' CrossesTheLineTwice at its best.

* "I'm Howard Stark... and on behalf of everybody at Stark Industries, I would like to show you... my ass."

* A nice little MoodWhiplash after...[[IncrediblyLamePun Whiplash]] has been causing chaos at an F1 race. Happy rams Whiplash with a car, then does it repeatedly every time he tries to move. Made even funnier by the fact that Pepper is screaming at Tony and Tony is just saying "Hand me the briefcase" repeatedly while showing virtually no reaction.

** Right before that, Tony had just dodged an explosion caused by Vanko's suit whip. As Vanko walks towards him, Tony looks terrified...then he notices the fire on his arm and pats it out, sporting a "give me a second" face. Once it's out, he goes right back to being terrified.

** Almost a case of GettingCrapPastTheRadar seeing as Tony's a wealthy white man, and he's referring to his African-American best friend. DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything?

* Tony goes to Pepper's office to apologize, but just about everything goes wrong for him. First, he can't stand the perpetually-moving paperweight on her desk. A miffed Pepper also refuses to deal with it, and when Romanoff comes in, the girls team up to give him the silent treatment (despite Pepper feeling threatened by her presence). Worse for Tony, he tried to make a nice gesture to Pepper by bringing her strawberries...except that it's the only thing she's allergic to. And once she leaves, he tries to stop the paperweight from moving but fails. Then he just dumps the strawberries into the wastebasket, and some of them fell on the floor.

* "[[Film/WinnebagoMan I'm Howard Stark... and on behalf of everybody at Stark Industries, I would like to show you... my ass.]]"

'''Tony:''' We need better security! Better security measures! God, it's embarrassing! ''[-First vacation in two years...-]''

** Tony replying to Senator Stern by saying, "Yes, dear?" when distracted.

--->'''Tony Stark:''' I am Iron Man, the suit and I are one. To turn over the suit is to turn over myself which is equivilant to indentured servitude or prostitution depending on what state you're in. ''[This earns him laughter from the gallery]''\\
'''Senator Stern:''' I'm no expert on-\\
'''Tony Stark:''' On prostitution, of course not, you're a senator, come on!

--->'''Tony Stark:''' I am Iron Man, the suit and I are one. To turn over the suit is to turn over myself which is equivilant to indentured servitude or prostitution depending on what state you're in.\\

** When Hammer is introduced as an expert:

** Tony hacking into the computers from his PDA over wi-fi and having it display "WELCOME MR. STARK" in ASCII art. Followed immediately with footage from other people's pathetic failed attempts to create Iron Man suits.
--->'''Tony:''' Boy, I'm good...
*** The actual failures are all perfect BlackComedy. Firstly, the North Korean mecha/suit has its legs give way under its own weight, causing its gatling gun to go off (and kill the cameraman in the process). Then the Iranian suit loses control of its thrusters and does a rocket-propelled flip through the air before crashing into something. Subsequently, you see Justin Hammer frantically trying to block the TV as it's showing Hammer Industries' EpicFail at trying to reproduce the Iron Man suit. ''Especially'' when the top half of the suit ''rotates 180 degrees around and twists the guy's spine.'' CrossesTheLineTwice at its best.

*** You may regret for leaving your position as CEO now, Tony.

'''Tony:''' (''shouting over her'') Better security-! ''I was attacked!''\\

-->'''Justin Hammer:''' She's actually doing a big spread on me for Vanity Magazine. I thought I'd throw her a bone, you know.\\
'''Pepper Potts:''' She did ''quite'' a spread on Tony last year.\\
'''Tony Stark:''' [[DontExplainTheJoke And she wrote a story as well]]!\\
'''Pepper Potts:''' It was very impressive, very well done...
* A nice little MoodWhiplash after...[[IncrediblyLamePun Whiplash]] has been causing chaos at an F1 race. Happy Hogan rams Whiplash with a car, then does it repeatedly every time he tries to move. Made even funnier by the fact that Pepper is screaming at Tony and Tony is just saying "Hand me the briefcase" repeatedly while showing virtually no reaction.
-->[[spoiler: ''[after Happy Hogan runs into Whiplash]'']]\\
'''Tony Stark:''' Who were you trying to hit, me or him?\\
'''Happy Hogan:''' I was trying to scare him-\\
'''Tony Stark:''' ''Cause I can't tell!''

'''Tony Stark:''' Let the record reflect that I observe Mr. Hammer entering the chamber and I am wondering if and when any actual expert will also be in attendance.
