"Really. With the abs and the—"
  • Several scattered Daily Bugle papers are titled with the headlines "EVERYTHING AWFUL: Oh God Somebody Do Something!!"
    • Chris Eliopoulos, the letterer of Vol. 4, keeps putting these in, along with all the Unsound Effect's and other Painting the Medium gags. It's what elevates the title as a whole.
  • Kate and Clint get into an argument over the labeling and organization of his arrows, or lack there of. She harps on him about this, even during a car chase with gangsters firing at them, causing him to yell at her to pick one at random.
  • After saving a girl from gangsters and subsequently sleeping with her, the gangsters track them down and starts firing at a still naked Hawkeye. He dodges the gunfire and dives across the room. His Censor Box is a picture of his old mask.
    • The image would wind up being included in Marvel's Avengers as a nameplate for Clint. And it’s animated.
  • After getting knocked out by the above mentioned gangsters, Hawkeye calls Kate to pick him up. By the time she gets to his location, he's still putting his pants and shirt on. Kate stares at him for several panels, causing him to facepalm.
  • A gangster holds Clint hostage with Kate aiming her bow at the gangster.
    Gangster: You geev me ginger (derogatory patriarchial epithet), I geev you Avenger (slang for male genitalia).
    Kate: Wow, the mouth on you.
  • The Dog Cops subplot/Running Gag in issue 6. Hawkeye watching a show like that? Okay. Spider-Man? Definitely. Wolverine? Freaking hysterical.
    • Especially since Dog Cops appears to be, literally, a show about dogs who are cops, rather than, say, a K-9 unit; Tony refers to a character named "Sergeant Whiskers" when talking to Clint about it.
  • Kate talking about how the Roman emperor Domitian could fire 4 arrows at once between his fingers (while Clint is shown shooting only 3 off), then later on Kate fires off 5 arrows at once.
    Kate: Suck it, Domitian.
  • Bit from #6:
    (A load of Slavic tracksuit bros come out from two vans, proceeding to overwhelm him with baseball bats)
    Clint: (agonizing) Yyyyyeah. Guh. Guh. Guys. Guys, better go gessomemore guys.
    (They get back to beating him into unconsciousness. When Clint wakes up, he's loaded into one of the vans with a bag over his head, later being unmasked while tied to a chair in a large room filled with bros)
    Clint: Great! You got more guys.
  • Clint insisting to his neighbors that he's not an Avenger...only to be interrupted by SHIELD agents air-dropping onto his roof, hooking him up, and airlifting him into a Helicarrier, all while Clint protests that they have the wrong guy.
  • In a meta example this tweet from Matt Fraction, in which he implies that the volume will end with all of the cast except Lucky dying and Lucky eating their bodies.
  • The solicit for issue #15 ends with the bullet point, "Plus…two free staples!", which is technically true.
