History Funny / Runaways

-->'''Karolina''': Where am i going, anyway?

* Nico and Karolina decide to become superheroes, but in their first actual fight with criminals, Nico can't come up with any spells that she hasn't already used, and thus resorts to "'''DANCE!'''"... which backfires because the criminals want to dance with her and Karolina.

* Molly taking on Eli Roston in ''ComicBook/{{Daken}}: Dark Wolverine''. (Also a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.)

** Nico's first encounter with the Difference Engine, a robot who is the height of technology... for 1907. He tries to scan her against his catlog of known villains. It takes several minutes, his teammates in the Upward Path look incredibly annoyed, and Nico has a "WTF?" expression on her face. Finally, a punch card comes out, informing him that she's not in the catalogs. Which everyone already knew.

* Issue 17 of Vol. 2 has Nico and Gert fighting and making up at the same time, leaving Victor confused as to what was happening.

* Chase talking to himself at the start of the "Dead End Kids" Arc
-->'''Chase:''' ''[=KKcht=].'' Eagle One to German guys from ''Film/DieHard'', what is your position? ''[=KKRrzt=].'' This is German Guys, we are splitting up a bazillion dollars in diamonds and primo weed while you freeze your ass off up there pretending you have a walkie talkie, over. ''KHHHT''.
* Issue 25 of Vol. 2 It... makes sense in context.

* "Why aren't you awesomed by me?!"
* During the "Dead End Kids" arc, there's a rather serious moment when the Witchbreaker is torturing Nico, though Nico's retort to the Witchbreaker is pretty funny in its own way:

* When Victor starts getting obvious about his thing with Lillie, which is shortly after he and Nico got together:

** Later, when Nico announces that Lillie will be coming back to the present with them, Victor tries to apologize, but she shuts him down.

* Apparently Xavin has an uncle who's name sounds similar to "you freak"
--> '''Karolina''': Get away from me you freak!
--> '''Xavin''': Ewe'fareek is my uncle, Karolina. My name is Xavin!

* Molly taking on Eli Roston in ''[[ComicBook/{{Daken}} Daken: Dark Wolverine]]''. (Also a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.)

* Molly taking on Eli Roston in ''ComicBook/DarkWolverine''. (Also a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.)

* In Issue #8, the team fights Doctor Doom. Molly tries to do her patented charge-and-punch attack... and Doom seizes her by the ankle and holds her upside-down with one hand. A few panels later, we see that he's ''still'' holding her upside-down. She looks incredibly annoyed.

** Later Gert mentions if the team was an actual band, maybe they would have stayed together longer. Old Lace imagines them as one. The fact it looks like a reference to WesternAnimation/{{Jabberjaw}} only makes it better.
* In Issue #4, Victor finally comes back to life... and finds himself at Molly's mercy as she's always wanted one of those Barbie hairdresser heads and he has nice hair...

* [[ItMakesSenseInContext HELP! I'M BEING KIDNAPPED BY AN EVIL BLACK MAN FROM THE 1980'S!"]]
** "Dude, you don't have to bring race into this."

-->'''Nico''': Two years is a long time, Gert. A lot of things have changed.
-->'''Gert''': Why are you suddenly talking to me as if I'm six years old and my potbellied pig just died?
-->'''Nico''': Gert-
-->'''Gert''': Oh my god, what happened? [[DeadlyEuphemism Did you drop Molly off at a "nice farm"]]?

** Later Gert mentions if the team was an actual band, maybe they would have stayed together longer. Old Lace imagines them as one. The fact it looks like a refference to WesternAnimation/{{Jabberjaw}} only makes it better.

** Later Gert mention if the team was an actual bad, maybe they stayed together longer. Old Lace imagines them as one. The fact it looks like a refference to WesternAnimation/{{Jabberjaw}} only makes it better.

* The opening scene in Vol. 1 where {{Comicbook/The Avengers}} start acting bizarrely out of character during a mission to stop the {{Comicbook/Incredible Hulk}} from destroying TheWhiteHouse. It turns out [[spoiler: that it's just Alex playing an MMORPG with his online friends]]. Actually scratch that, ''all'' of the opening scenes introducing the main characters and their families are quite humorous as well.

* During the ''Teenage Wasteland'' arc, some convenience store robbers(who turn out to be [[OurVampiresAreDifferent something else entirely]]) confuse the gang with ComicBook/PowerPack, a much earlier group of kid superheroes.

* There's something funny about [[spoiler:Ultron]] predicting that there's a ''99.99% likelihood'' that the Avengers will have a distinct lack in diversity in the coming years--''enough to let a new super who'd only recently come into his powers join the team.''

* During the battle with the Gibborim, Victor tries to do a FastballSpecial with Molly. Molly is the strongest member of the team. Guess who turns out to be Wolverine.

** During the Secret Invasion crossover with Young Avengers she punches a Super Skrull clear through a skyscraper.

* In the first issue of volume 2, the Runaways take on the Wrecking Crew. Thunderball prepares to attack Gert, who has so far done nothing but go to lean against a tree.

* When the group spies on their parents and sees them in their supervillain get-up for the first time.
--> '''Alex:''' Do you know what this means?
--> '''Chase:''' Yeah, our parents are totally gay.

* Molly [[TheWorfEffect Worfing]] Wolverine, from near the front of a church, all the way through the heavy doors and across the street into a snowbank.

* The Runaways' first encounter with the Young X-Men is full of hilarity.
-->'''Nico''': Okay, see? This is why we should never leave the house.
-->'''Klara''': Lord save us... more demons!!
-->'''Victor''': Thaaaaat's not helping, Klara.
* Some funny innuendo in issue 4
-->'''Karolina''': Where am i going, anyway?
-->'''Nico''': The hospital! I've got a... a giant rod stuck inside my body!
-->'''Chase''': Heh.
* When Victor's powers suddenly emerge.
-->'''Victor''': Whoa...did you see how high I just jumped?\\
'''Nico''': Yeah. Did you see how high my stilettos are? [[PreAsskickingOneLiner Look closely]].\\
''*kicks Victor in the face*''

''GilliganCut''\\
'''Chase''': Put me down, you little gorilla!
* During the "Dead End Kids" arc, there's a rather serious moment when the Witchbreaker is torturing Nico, though Nico's retort to the Witchbreaker is pretty funny in its own way:
-->'''Witchbreaker''': I am going to hurt you some more. Do you understand why?
-->'''Nico''': Because you're evil, insane, have no friends and no life and nothing to do 'cause they haven't invented reruns of [[Series/TheGoldenGirls "Golden Girls"]] yet?
