History Funny / ThePunisherMAX

* From the ''Kingpin'' arc, there's a moment where Frank is heading towards Fisk's home in a car and as he's driving, he notices something...

** Not long after, Finn discovers he does not have NWordPrivileges in Manhattan when, in the middle of an angry and racist rant, he finds himself flanked by half a dozen angry blank men who overheard him, leading to a one-word OhCrap reaction.

-->'''Finn:''' ''[[PrecisionFStrike Fuck]].''

* During the all-out firefight aboard a US naval carrier between the Punisher and the Westies, the reaction from the NYPD chopper pilot once he notices The [[TheDreaded Punisher]] doubles as both hilarious and ''[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesome.]]''

Despite what the series' [[DarkerAndEdgier repu]][[{{Gorn}} tation]], might lead you to believe. There are quite a few funny moments to be had in this comic.

* During the MAX Christmas Special, numerous crooks are all competing against each other to a mobster's newborn son. This leds to this gem of black comedy between two gangbangers:

([[CuteTheFlyingPigs Rory and the other gangbangers are immediately shot dead by rival mobsters]]).\\

** At one point, Bullseye is interrogating one of the weapon suppliers who's had dealings with Frank, where he asks him various mundane questions about Frank to get into the latter's head. Meanwhile, a lawyer is briefing the Kingpin, who is observing the interrogation, on Bullseye's background.
--> '''Lawyer''': Couldn;t find much on Bullseye, his military file is almost entirely redacted, and what is there don't make no sense.
--> '''Bullseye''': NO!! He'd be an Oak tree! Anyone can see that! *smashes the captive's head with a bat*
--> '''Lawyer''': He's also crazier than fucking shit.

* ''The Platoon'' has Ennis' usual role of incompetent military officer filled out by the son of a North Vietnamese general, who is in way over his head and is a rare example of a non-gaming {{scrub}}, angry that the Americans use their air force instead of fighting on the ground. Giap never outright insults or gets angry at him, but when the dumbass dies because he didn't take cover during an airstrike, is heard to reassure the medic that he'll serve the VC just as efficiently as before ,even missing his head.

* After nearly getting his [[GroinAttack balls crushed]] by Micro, a newly humbled Roth decides to try and relax by lounging on the coach. Naturally his buddy [[DeadpanSnarker Kathryn]], can't help but give him grief over it.

* There shouldn't be anything to laugh at when the Punisher does his usual thing after seeing a pimp who's apparently picked up a girl (who doesnt look more than 15) and forced her into the sex trade. An older prostitute who let slip that the girl might be underage, a runaway, and possibly forced into addiction watches Frank to go into TranquilFury, walk over to the pimp, NeckLift him, and drag him off sight unseen to do god knows what. Frank returns a minute later, puts a few hundred dollars in the old prostitute's hand, and tells her to get the girl out of there and warn the next guy to watch himself. The prostitute's reaction to all this?

** Or her earlier response to Punishers questions about the girl: "What, are you some kinda fucking social worker now?"
* Cavella and his crews introduction, is one long series of darkly humorous moments after the other. First, capo Larry Barucci tries to endear himself to the crew by impersonating a very stereotypical Boston accent. The crew understandably, are ''not'' amused.

** Ink displaying his unexpectedly morbid sense of humor to a surprised Larry. Notable as it's one of the few words to come out of Ink's mouth besides "Huh".

* There's something darkly humorous about seeing a fearsome gangster like Maginty get into an argument over the phone with [[BlandNameProduct Ped-Ef]] over same-day delivery. Mind you, the "mail" in question happens to be sliced up bits of human flesh but still. It appears that not even gangsters are free from [[VillainsOutShopping mundane problems.]]
--> '''Maginty:''' ''Forty-eight dollars'' for same-day delivery? Does the guy stop at ''Outback'' afterwards, or somethin'? Am I buyin' the son of a bitch a T-bone? Give who a try? ''Fuck UPS!'' If I wanted UPS I wouldn't called ''you'' cocksucker! Just go on an' schedule the motherfucker, I'll pay your goddamn forty-eight fuckin' dollars.
** Then there's the sight of him kicking the crap out of his idiot friends for giving him grief over the situation. Including him literally kicking one right on his ass. Not to mention that the crack that pissed him off the most was being called "cheap".
* When Michael and Finn, go out the back exit to try and escape a firefight between The Punisher and the River Rats, they happen to find the boorish idiot who blew their cover. The kicker? The poor bastard's ''[[BringMyBrownPants shit himself]]''.
* We have this little tidbit between disfigured IRA bomber, Finn Cooley and his Irish-American friend Michael Morrison.

** Not long after, Finn discovers he does not have NWordPrivileges in Manhattan. He learns this when, in the middle of an angry and racist rant, he finds himself flanked by a half a dozen angry blank men who overheard him, leading to a one-word OhCrap reaction.
-->'''Finn:''' ''[[PrecisionFStrike Fuck]].'' (we see later that they beat the crap out of them and would have killed Finn and Michael if Finns face hadnt scared them off)

--> '''Goon:''' You sure Brenda?

--> '''Goon:''' you -- you think there's any chance he's still alive?

** Before heading out, Brenda tells her crew to throw Tommy's severed fingers in the trash so her kids wont find the package.
* Shortly after getting the shit kicked out of them by some very pissed off scary black men. Michael and Finn are busy licking their wounds, when Michael accidentally drops a rather callous remark at Finn's expense. The look on his face after he realizes what he just said is priceless.

--> '''Finn:''' Ye're no fuckin' oil paintin' yerself Michael!
* For an old timer. Yorkie's still got a wicked dry sense of humor.
--> '''Yorkie:''' I'm a lot older than concord lad -- and no cunt's putting me in a museum.
* From what we can gather, [[DeadpanSnarker Brenda]] really has no luck when it comes to finding good henchmen. Or intelligent life forms for that matter.
* During the all out firefight aboard a US naval carrier, between the Punisher and the Westies. The reaction from the NYPD chopper pilot once he notices The [[TheDreaded Punisher]], doubles as both hilarious and ''[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesome.]]''
--> '''NYPD pilot:''' Ah. dispatch, we -- oh, [''catches a glimpse of the Punisher''] ''[[OhCrap shit!]]'' '''''Dispatch yes! Affirmative! We need tactical!'''''

* "You always were a goddamned ray of sweetness and light, weren't you, Fury?" "Check the small print, General. Nothing in there about us sucking each others balls."

--> '''Frank''' ({{Internal Monologue}}): Bureau never did make that charges stick. Had half an idea about giving her the benefit of the doubt.

--> '''Frank''' ({{Internal Monologue}}): Fuck it (blows ''her'' head off).

* After making there way into the nuclear silo base. Vanheim is surprised to see just how lousy the security around the base is.
--> '''Vanheim''':Guy just waved us through, he didn't even look at the I.D papers...

* When TheDreaded General Nikolai Zakharov, makes his first appearance, he gets hyped up by a nearby Russian officer who can't help but feel at awe in his presence. Officer [[DeadpanSnarker Seymon]], on the other hand notes that he looks like he ate one or two pies of stone.
* Seymon's face palm after being embarrassed by a fellow Officer deserves to be its own Meme.

-->'''Frank''': You brought your copy of ''Cat In the Hat'' feel free.
* Fury's nonchalant response after hearing about the high amount of collateral damage caused by [[PersonOfMassDestruction Frank]], is a perfect encapsulation of his character's cool demeanor.
** Later on when the General's are yelling at him for the clusterfuck that has transpired, blaming him for the whole ordeal, Fury simply responds by telling them to ''shut the fuck up.'' 3.
* The unintentionally hilarious sight of Frank [[https://static3.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11125/111252042/5446902-0381063673-punis.jpg swinging around The Mongolian.]] The whole thing just looks like something you'd expect to see in a Tex Avery cartoon, not a serious action drama.

--> '''General 1''': Dont you own shares in this place.

* During Castle's rampage we cut to a scene showing the Mayor consolidating with his advisers on how to deal with the Punisher crisis, since they cant go after him without risking civilian causalties, nor can they just let him go Total War on the criminals.

--> '''Officer Miller''': This is all your fault. If you hadn't gotten so close to the fuck he wouldn't have got your gun off you.

* Barracuda's EstablishingCharacterMoment where he plows his car into a gangbangers car, then blasts all his henchmen with a giant machine gun, before telling the gang leader to turn off the obnoxious rap song he's blasting at full volume.

--> '''Barracuda''': Shit. *uncermouniously kicks her off the pier and sails off*

* After feeding The Punisher to a pool of sharks, Barracuda sails back to shore whilst singing a lovely little song.
* How Barracuda decides to introduce himself to Demot and Si when Harry has them meeting for the first time.

-->'''Dermot & Si:''' O_O
* There isn't anything funny about Frank Castle laying unconscious on a pier, what ''is'' funny is having a bird take a shit on his face with Frank annoyingly stating "fucking birds", in a completely deadpan tone.
* Frank tossing out Barracuda's severed fingers to a pack of hungry birds, as revenge for 'Cuda laying him out earlier.
** While on the boat, Barracuda has just tossed his other captive Horace overboard to the sharks, then grumbles to himself about needing to get his fingers reattached. Frank asks if he put them in a bag before putting them on ice.

--> '''Punisher''': Putting them directly on the ice destroys the nerves, means they cant be reattached.
--> '''Barracuda''': No shit? Guess the fuckin' jokes on me! *deadlifts Punisher and tosses him overboard*

--> '''Barracuda:''' [To Dermot and Alice]] Shit...! You Wall Street Folks play kinda rough, don't you?

* Yorkie asking O'Brien the one question that confounded him for years:
-->'''Yorkie''': Why the '''fuck'''. Do Americans [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff like]] Creator/BennyHill?

* During a FunnyBackgroundEvent when Howe is introducing Delta Force, one of the soldiers--a sniper no less--is playing badly at pool. When his fellow player ask how "can a sniper be such a shitty pool player?", said sniper makes a "beats me" shrug.

** Bullseye making fun of his mainstream counterparts ImprobableAimingSkills by mocking the idea of killing someone with a toothpick... then pulls out a gun and blows his targets head off.
** Bullseye mentioning that he once tracked an eskimo over miles of frozen tundra, then stabbed him to death with an icicle made of his own frozen feces. That wasnt a mission or anything, he was just on vacation.
** His MoodWhiplash talk with Vanessa Fisk where he darkly advices her to just forget about killing her husband and rebuild her life somwhere else because of the SlipperySlope killing puts you on, then immediatly snapping back to his normal cheerful self.

** The scene where Bullseye is interviewing (i.e torturing) one of the weapon suppliers who's had dealings with Frank, and asks him various mundane questions about Frank to get into his head. Meanwhile, a lawyer is briefing the Kingpin, who is observing the interrogation, on Bullseyes background.
--> '''Lawyer''': Couldnt find much on Bullseye, his military file is almost entirerly redacted, and what is there dont make no sense.
--> '''Bullseye''': NO!! He'd be an Oak tree! Anyone can see that!! *smashes the captives head with a bat*

* This bit in ''Naked Kill'' where a crook begs for his life and offers a trade. Remember this is Punisher saying this:

* There shouldn't be anything to laugh at when the Punisher does his usual thing after seeing a pimp who's apparently picked up a girl and forced her into the sex trade. An older prostitute who let slip that the girl might be underage, a runaway, and possibly forced into addiction watches Frank to go into TranquilFury, walk over to the pimp, NeckLift him, and drag him off sight unseen to do god knows what. Frank returns a minute later, puts a few hundred dollars in the old prostitute's hand, and tells her to get the girl out of there and warn the next guy to watch himself. The prostitute's reaction to all this?

--> '''Maginty:''' ''Forty-eight dollars'' for same-day delivery? Does the guy stop at outback afterwards, or somethin'? Am I buyin' the son of a bitch a T-bone? Give who a try? ''Fuck UPS!'' If I wanted UPS I wouldn't called ''you'' cocksucker! Just go on an' schedule the motherfucker, I'll pay your goddamn forty-eight fuckin' dollars.
** Then there's the sight of him kicking the crap out of his idiot friends for giving him grief over the situation. Including him literally kicking one right on his ass.
* When Michael and Finn, go out the back exit to try and escape a firefight between The Punisher and the River Rats, they happen to find the boorish idiot who blew there cover. The kicker? The poor bastard's ''[[BringMyBrownPants shit himself]]''.

-->'''Michael:''' Does... does it slip?

-->'''Finn:''' ''[[PrecisionFStrike Fuck]].''

* Shortly after getting the shit kicked out of them by some very pissed off scary black men. Michael and Finn are busy licking there wounds, when Michael accidentally drops a rather callous remark at Finn's expense. The look on his face after he realizes what he just said is priceless.

* Early on we are reintroduced to Rawlins and the cabal of sleazy Generals as they conspire in... a ''[[VillainsOutShopping Starbucks]]'' of all places. Special mention goes to one of the Generals noting that his warmed iced latte taste like "shit".
* During Castle's rampage we cut to a scene showing the Mayor consolidating with his advisers on what to do about the Punisher.

* Frank tracks down a Russian mobster named Leon Rastovich who got paroled early [[spoiler:(Nick Fury arranged it to draw Frank out)]] to his mother's house. He recalls that Rastovich ran a child prostitution ring and that Rastovich's mother was rumoured to be supplying the operation with children from a Kazakhstani orphanage, but her son [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas wouldn't roll over on her]]. Right after he blows the guy's head off in front of his mama, we get a nice bit of {{Black Comedy}}:

* The back and forth banter between officer Parker and Officer Miller creates these kinda moments quite often.

** Then there's the sight of him kicking the crap out of his idiot friends for giving him grief over the situation.
--> '''Maginty:''' An' ''you'' shithead... [''literally kicks the mook in the ass''] don't fuckin' call me cheap.

** Brenda is pretty much made out of BlackComedy.

--> '''NYPD pilot:''' Ah. dispacth, we -- oh, [''catches a glimpse of the Punisher''] ''[[OhCrap shit!]]'' '''''Dispatch yes! Affirmative! We need tactical!'''''

* There's something darkly humorous about seeing a fearsome gangster like Maginty get into an argument over the phone with [[BlandNameProduct Ped-Ef]] over same-day delivery. Mind you, the "mail" in question happens to be sliced up bits of human flesh but still. It appears that not even gangsters are free from mundane problems.

--> '''Michael:''' Aw' the dirty bastard's shit himself!

* From what we can gather, [[DeadpanSnarker Brenda]] really has no luck when it comes to finding good henchmen. Or intelligent forms of life for that matter.
--> '''Mook:''' What now?
--> '''Brenda:''' Now we look at all the pretty airplanes. Spread the fuck out an' ''hide'' for christ's sake...!

* Colonel Fury's [[DeadpanSnarker dry snark]] is truly something to behold.
--> '''Army General:''' You always were a goddamned ray of sweetness and light, weren't you, Fury?
--> '''Fury:''' Check the small print, General. Nothing in there about us sucking each others balls.
