  • Whenever the skirt is mentioned, especially when it's Kate Bishop, unaware that she's talking to Clint, saying that she never dressed like the first Hawkeye—even when he wore a skirt. Clint's response?
    Years later and people still make fun of the skirt...
  • Hawkeye's reaction to finding out that he and the other Avengers have been transported to a reality that never left the middle ages and is ruled by a powerful sorceress? "Aw man, not another alternate universe!"
  • Back when Daredevil's blindness was a secret, Hawkeye attempted to use a phosphorus arrow to blind him. Daredevil doesn't react until he notices Hawkeye's confusion and notices the scent of the chemicals and pieces together Clint's intention. Matt then proceeds to oversell the pain he's supposed to be in.
  • Recent issue of Secret Avengers brought us, after being trapped in Earth 666, surrounded by undead Avengers thanks to Captain Britain leaving a powerful artifact in their hands, Clint gets into rant mode, in a way to leave even the most British of readers laughing, followed by classic Clint Barton dialog.
    Clint: I hate you Captain Britain. From now on, because of you bringing me here, I will now hate everything about Britain. Tea. The Smiths. The Queen.
    Brian: Let's leave the Smiths out of this.
    Clint: God, I hate other dimensions. Way too Doctor Who for me. Feels like fighting fake stuff.
    Monster!Hawkeye: We're real enough.
    Brian: Lets test that out the old fashioned way-
    Clint: -WITH VIOLENCE!
    • Later, Clint gets his Ho Yay working:
      Brian: You think juggling some Avengers is tough work? Try policing the Entire Omniverse!
      Clint: Someone feeling underapreciated? I cherish you, Captain Britain, and you look so pretty in that new suit.
      Brian: I was worried about using too much black.
      Clint: No, it's slimming.
    • Basically, every bit with these two really in the latest arc.
  • From the second volume of Secret Avengers comes Clint telling Natasha that he and Bobbi can work well together and their relationship is behind them, only for Natasha to be revealed to be Bobbi using camotech.
    • Even better—Clint's reaction strongly suggests that this isn't the first time he's fallen for Bobbi wearing the camotech and pretending to be someone else.
  • The solicit for Hawkeye (Vol.4) #15 includes the line, "Plus... two free staples!"
  • One story arc begins with various mythical creatures appearing all over the world, attacking all Avengers. We only see short snippets of each fight, and this is (paraphrased) how it goes for Clint...
    Minotaur-looking creature: You will DIE by the horns of MUTAURUS!
    Clint: See, I have this thing about not getting killed by people with INCREDIBLY STUPID NAMES!
  • This exchange between Clint and Steve Rogers during Avengers: Endless Wartime:
    Clint: This is Clint Barton. I might be late.
    Steve: Shake a leg. We have one meeting a week. Get here.
    Clint: I might be lost.
    Steve: I don't believe you.
    Clint: I might also be in a dumpster.
    Steve: I believe you.
    Clint: There was a girl. And some people who hit me.
    Steve: Tell it to the chaplain, Hawkeye. Get here.
    Clint: YOU ARE OLD.
  • In the non-canon Gwenpool Holiday Special, Hawkeye tells Red Skull to think of a happy memory and then go @#$% himself. Clint gets eaten by a shark launched by the Skull but it was Worth It.
  • The first time that Bobbi met Clint, she beats him in a fight. With ease. And ends up straddling him with her battle staves against his throat.
