7	->''"You look at some of this old animation and go, well, that's a little bit odd looking. Why is ComicBook/SpiderMan on ComicBook/DoctorDoom's shoulders? Why does he seem to be hugging [[ComicBook/NormanOsborn Green Goblin]]? And that's where you could just come up with ideas and have fun with it."''

79	'''Mysterio:''' I just do, okay?
80	* {{Jerkass}}: HERBIE.
81	* LargeHam: Did someone say Doctor STRAAAAAANNNNNGE!!!?!?
82	* LazyArtist: ''The Fantastic Four'' and ''The Marvel Super Heroes'' get accused of having this.
83	-->'''Person 1''': (paraphrased) Hey, do you think we could get the animators to add more color to this room? I mean, if it wasn't for this line right here, I wouldn't even know where your desk is.

89	* MediumAwareness
90	* MoodWhiplash: Can happen due to the fact videos originally aired '''right''' after the relatively mature ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'', via a CreditsPushback.
91	** Fortunately, the dedication to Boyd Kirkland at the end of episode 32 didn't get ''immediately'' followed by one of these videos. A tutorial about drawing Venom played in between to minimize mood whiplash.
92	* MotorMouth: Invisible Woman.
93	* MundaneUtility: Captain America asks Thor to spin his hammer, not because danger is approaching, but because Cap needs a breeze from the heat.

95	* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Bruce Banner calls out Iceman on not wearing a shirt or pants, so Iceman strains to justify this by claiming "science" proves that if he wore clothes, they would "freeze to death."
96	** "Hulk don't like tan lines."
97	* NauseaFuel: In-universe, the bologna and sardine sandwiches that Sue makes even cause ''HERBIE'' to barf.

99	* OhCrap: Green Goblin insists to Spidey that he's not afraid to fly into the powerlines, but this quickly proves false.
100	* OnceASeason: Spider-Man hugs the Green Goblin.
101	* OverlyLongGag: Several. One that got lampshaded happened when Banner met the man who gives "the longest handshake in all the Amazon."
102	* ParodyCommercial:
103	** Doctor Doom's Evil Balloon Warehouse
104	** The Lizard Technical Institute
105	* PokeThePoodle: Many villains commit ridiculously petty acts.
106	-->"Having checked out the world's supply of library books with no intention of returning them on time, Loki's wretched evilness knows no bounds!"
107	* PungeonMaster: Several characters, but especially Peter Parker and Ben Grimm.
108	* ReadTheFinePrint: Apparently Firehand didn't do this, as he wasn't aware that he'd signed a contract to be Tony Stark's piñata, and that he'd go to jail for breaking it.
109	* RedundantParody: The series tends to support John Byrne's dictum when trying to write a parody of the ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'': "I'm sorry, it's impossible to write parody Thing dialogue that doesn't sound like the real thing."
110	** An early episode had a joke about Spidey being the only Spider-Friend without a flashy TransformationSequence. The original show joked about this a few times.
111	** Loki [[LevelAte turning cars into ice cream and bikes into peppermint]] is one of his actual [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] schemes.
112	** Magneto gets stuck in traffic before some other motorists remind him his Magneto-Mobile can fly over the other vehicles, something he reminded himself of in the original cartoon.
113	* RunningGag: Captain America's segments contain several short scenes that consist only of him performing stunts while saying something patriotic.
114	* TemptingFate: While Norman Osborn mixes chemicals, he says, "Just mixing up some chemicals, nothing can possibly go wrong" in a sing-song voice. An explosion subsequently occurs during his experiment, ruining his "entirely average face".
115	** Rick and Hulk discussing the beginning of one episode.
116	---> '''Rick:''' Hulk, please, do you think we could pick up the pace? The show is about to start!\
117	'''Hulk:''' Nah, they never start the show without u-\
118	'''Announcer:''' The Incredible Hulk!\
119	'''Hulk:''' I wasn't ready! [[NeverMyFault It's Rick's fault!]]
120	* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Thor spends so much time on his introductory speech that Loki has escaped by the end of it.
121	* ToiletHumor: The "farts are funny" kind shows up from time to time. Best example is [[ComicBook/SheHulk Jennifer Walters]] repeatedly farting while driving Bruce Banner... And then closing and locking all the windows.
122	** War Machine once suffered from a "suit fart" thanks to gas station nachos. When Rhodey questions why Tony isn't suffering too, Tony claim's it's because Iron Man has a cast-iron stomach -- before his body gurgles. "Spoke too soon."
123	* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: Spider-Man and Firestar convince a robotic monster to eat Doctor Strange. As soon as it does so…
124	---> '''Robot:''' groans Heartburn! [[{{Gasshole}} belches loudly]] \
125	'''Doctor Strange:''' ''[[RunningGag Strange]]'' [[LargeHam heartburn!]]
126	* UnmanlySecret: Doctor Doom plays with dolls of the Fantastic Four. He accidentally lets this slip to Reed when ranting about getting another cloak for his birthday, and also admits that [[spoiler: [[AllGirlsLikePonies he loves ponies]].]]
127	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: As Captain America and Bucky Barnes are watching a distant city engulfed in flames.
128	--> Well, I guess we know the answer to whether or not you left the iron on, Bucky.
129	* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: ComicBook/DoctorStrange can make circles come out of his head. He admits that they're never really useful, but they sure look ''[[LargeHam strange!]]''
130	* WhoWritesThisCrap: Sometimes the narrator admits that he doesn't think the shows make sense.
