Funny / Invasion! (2016)

Go To

    The Flash 
  • Joe, the guy who was so adamant that Iris stay out of superhero life two seasons ago, now asking her how she's supposed to convince Wally to do the same. While in awe at Wally's "practice".
  • What did Lyla name the flash drive with the Dominators data? THEFLASHDRIVE. Yeah.
  • Even though his face is entirely hidden, after Barry grabs Digg and Oliver and disappears, Vigilante is quite clearly having a "What the hell just happened?!" reaction.
  • After Barry's rescue Diggle runs to the balcony to throw up, and Ollie...looks like he's having a headache.
  • Iris finds out Oliver is the Green Arrow. Apparently it makes him "so much hotter". Barry is not amused.
  • Kara is utterly Adorkable as she meets the various teams and puts faces to names.
    • In Kara's own introduction, Oliver is skeptical when Barry returns with her instead of an alien; Jax asks what's so "super" about her. When she flies into the air and burns her S symbol into the ground, she receives only this as response:
  • Kara asks Mick how he got the name Heatwave.
    Mick: I burned my family alive; I like to light things on fire.
    Sara: (Face Palm)
    Kara: Ah, that's a...colorful backstory.
    Mick: Well, my shrink thinks so.
  • Oliver argues against Jax mentioning the message from the future.
    Oliver: We're going up against a bunch of aliens, and you want to tell people that their lives might have been affected by time travel? One sci-fi problem at a time.
  • Digg can't believe any of the alien stuff.
    Digg: I swear to God, Barry, my life was somewhat normal before I met you.
    • Keep in mind, Digg's "somewhat normal" life at that point included being the aide to a millionaire playboy turned crime fighter.
    • And there's his reaction to seeing the Waverider manifesting out of thin air.
    Digg: Y'know, I've never done drugs. It's 'cause I was always afraid I'd see weird stuff.
  • Of course it would take a (technically former) criminal to point out the perks of X-Ray vision.
  • Mick refuses to call Supergirl "Supergirl" because he thinks that's stupid, or "Kara" because that "doesn't work for him". He announces he will refer to her as "Skirt". And then when under mental attack by the Dominators...
    Mick: Supergirl! Do something!
  • Oliver is the only one who is not mad at Barry for causing Flashpoint, as he admits he would have done the same thing in his position. Later, when the two are fighting the Brainwashed and Crazy heroes:
    Oliver: You really did it this time, Barry!
    Barry: Seriously?
    Oliver: Yeah, seriously. You come to Star City, you ask for my help.
    Barry: Okay...
    Oliver: And then inevitably, immediately, we end up up the creek!
    Barry: Okay, that's fair, thank you.
  • Oliver advises Kara to not hold back in a training session, as the others need to know what the real fight will be like; she is skeptical, but agrees. He comes back to Kara NoSelling Ray's photon blasts and throwing him into the ground, next to absolutely everyone else. When Oliver (the man who often trains for hours to blow off steam) joins? He asks for a few minutes to rest almost immediately.
    • It's a "blink and you'll miss it" moment but when Barry introduces Oliver and Kara to each other, Wells can be seen in the background, recording the entire conversation on his device, before making an unheard comment. God only knows what he said.
  • Just about everything Sara does. Her first real line (after Oliver "discreetly" gives Barry advice) is "Are we just supposed to pretend we can't hear him?" while pointing in obvious amusement.
    • During the above training session with Kara, everyone complains about how Kara is handing them their asses literally without moving. Everyone, except for Sara.
  • Again during the training session, Mick was just lying there dazed and unresponsive. When Ollie tells everyone to resume, Mick didn't even bother getting up and just opens fire while on his elbows.
  • After Thea made such a big deal at the start of the season about how she needed to retire from the superhero game for her own sanity, she eagerly suits up for this fight because hey, aliens!

    Arrow 
  • Felicity being extremely antsy at Cisco's casual manhandling of her wireless keyboard. Also, her excited fangirling over Curtis hacking the alien tech.
  • Cisco's reaction to meeting Rory.
    Cisco: I know another Rory. He's a douche, though. You're not a douche, are you?
    Rory: No.
    Cisco: Okay, good, I just had to check.
  • Unlike Cisco, Ragman and Mr. Terrific thought getting carried by the Flash at superspeed was awesome. Wild Dog refused and took his bike, and looks very annoyed when he drives up to find them waiting for him.
  • When Wild Dog is getting over the weirdness of the Flash, Supergirl lands and gives him a cheerful little wave.
    Flash: What's wrong?
    Wild Dog: Nothing. I just wasn't expecting the flying metahumans.
    Flash: Oh, she's not a metahuman. She's an alien.
    Supergirl: One of the good ones!
    Wild Dog: There are no good ones.
  • The fact that the absence of Tommy Merlyn is explained away with an Actor Allusion to Colin Donnel's role on Chicago Med.
  • In a way, the fight against Cyberwoman: For Team Arrow alone, she likely would've been a difficult fight and a Villain of the Week, taking an entire episode to figure out how to beat her. Against the Flash and Supergirl, it's hilariously one-sided, as they take her down in less than a minute.
  • Rory geeking out over the awesomeness of the Flash and Supergirl, while still using his creepy Ragman voice.
  • In the dream, when Oliver shows up on his wedding day to apologize for ditching the rehearsal dinner, Sara says "You're lucky I'm not a trained assassin or anything," and a brief clip of the League theme plays. Oliver gets a long, confused look on his face.
  • When Oliver, Sara, Diggle, and Ray are about to try and escape, since Thea's not coming, Oliver mentions that the Dominators probably have defenses made from their memories...and cue Oliver getting shot at by an arrow before Malcolm reveals himself.
  • Oliver notes that, of the five prisoners, he's hoping that between him, Sara, Diggle, and Ray, they'll be able to get the alien fighter working. Thea is the one who figures it out.
    Thea: And Mom said I wouldn't amount to anything if I didn't go to college.
  • Cisco feeling threatened that Team Arrow now has its own pop culture-quoting tech guy.

    Legends of Tomorrow 
  • Felicity and Cisco geeking out so hard upon first boarding the timeship.
  • Felicity is excited beyond belief to get to travel on a genuine spaceship/timeship – then she promptly pukes after her first time jump. And then again. And then again, on the return trip.
  • Felicity also endures a "linguistics mix" by the jump, meaning she spends the first few minutes babbling incoherently. This includes slapping a hand over her mouth and trying to yell an insult but it comes out gibberish.
  • Nate's new costume.
    Mick: You look like a star-spangled idiot.
  • Cisco and Felicity reacting to Amaya, Nate, and Mick getting captured by the MIB.
    Cisco: They're gonna get dragged off to a government facility and experimented on! Have you seen Stranger Things?
    Felicity: Okay, maybe you need less television.
  • Felicity and Cisco coming to the rescue.
    Felicity: Y'all call tech support?
    Mick: Great. Rescued by geeks.
  • After Barry tags all the Dominators the heroes are facing with pain devices, Felicity points out there are still quite a few ships (and therefore aliens) left, proclaiming "This looks like a job for Supergirl!"
    Barry: Thanks, Felicity. I'm not the least bit insulted.
    Felicity: Sorry! I meant Supergirl and Flash! This is totally a job for the both of you!...[[continued stress-babbling]]
  • Mick asks Sara's opinion of the new President.
    Mick: Is it just me or is she really hot?
    Sara: (Looks at Mick in annoyance, looks at the President, thinks about it) Yeah, she's hot.
    Mick nods in satisfaction that he's right.
  • Mick's last words to Kara after Cisco gives her a device that will allow her to contact and come to their Earth:
    Mick: Hey skirt. Call me. (cue Kara's totally confused look)
  • At the afterparty, Kara is in her civilian disguise.
    Felicity: [gleeful] It's like looking in a mirror!
    Ray: You know, it's funny...she looks a lot like my cousin.
  • After The Men in Black have antagonized, detained, and generally been dicks to the heroes in two time periods, Agent Smith comes back to "mop up" the aftermath of the fight and trade vague threats with them. Kara interrupts this to say that she's been talking to the new President; apparently, she (the President) was interested in the fact that Earth-38 has a government agency dedicated to dealing with superhumans. Madam President was also responsive to Kara's suggestion that Smith be Reassigned to Antarctica. Beware the Nice Ones, indeed.
    • The smug scrunched-up smiley face she gives him, looking like a teenager who just got away with something and she knows you can't do anything about it, sells it.
  • Kara suggests a group hug with Oliver and Barry, and Barry refuses to let Oliver get out of it. And his resigned look just as Barry and Kara pincer him.
  • Kara calls her new friends "Earth's Mightiest Heroes". Uh, Kara, you must be thinking of a different team...
  • When Stein tells Jax that he now has a daughter, Jax asks how this is possible. Stein says he doesn't think he needs to explain the process.
    • Jax's take on the situation. Stay classy, Jax.
    Jax: And he [younger Stein] followed your advice all the way to Pound Town?
