* Before all hell breaks loose, Tony's conversation with the airmen in the Jeep.

to:

* Just the shear abrupt awkwardness of the entire intro. A slow fade into a heat-warped low shot of the desert landscape with a convoy of Humvee's rolling in the distance... Then suddenly a closer cut to the convoy along with the iconic first note of Music/{{ACDC}}'s ''Back In Black'', followed by a cut to the inside of the "Funvee" showig that the music is coming from a stereo, a shot of the liquor glass in Tony's hand, and some awkward looks from the nervous airmen, before Tony finally breaks the uncomfortable silence.
-->'''Tony:''' [''After a long silence and seeing the airmen's looks''] I feel like you're driving me to a court marshal! This is crazy, what'd I do? I feel like you're gonna pull over and snuff me. What, are you not allowed to talk? Hey, [[Film/ForrestGump Forrest]].\\
'''"Forrest":''' We can talk, sir.\\
'''Tony:''' Oh, so it's personal then?\\
'''Female Airman:''' No, you intimidate them.\\
'''Tony:''' Good God, [[SamusIsAGirl you're a woman]]! I honestly couldn't have called that.

* During the press conference at the end, when Tony admits that he is Iron Man, every reporter in attendance gets up and starts asking him questions... with the conspicuous exception of the one who mocked his cover story as he was telling it, who just sits there with an IKnewIt expression on her face.
* There's something inherently funny in Nick Fury's "You think you were the only superhero in this universe?" line, knowing he had [[Film/CaptainMarvel2019 some adventures with Carol Danvers back in the 90's.]]

** The scientist is also Ralphie from ''Film/AChristmasStory''. Also funny is that Creator/PeterBillingsley very clearly has a full head of hair and is sporting an obvious, partially-shaved head to give the appearance of a receded hairline. Apparently, it was ''really'' important that his character be balding.

** Throughout the scene, it's unsure whether Tony is being [[DissonantSerenity dissonantly calm]] or just [[SarcasmMode sarcastic as usual]]. On the other hand, [[BeleagueredAssistant Pepper]] just panicked in most of the scene.
* Towards the climax of the film, Tony rushes to where Pepper is in his armor, since Obadiah is there and is about to start wreaking havoc. Rhodey, left behind, looks at a spare armor for an instant and considers taking it into battle himself.

* At the end of the film, just before the press conference, Tony and Pepper finally talk about their AlmostKiss at the party. Pepper at first seems bashful about it, making sure that he's talking about the night where they danced and went up on the roof and he went to get her a drink...[[BaitAndSwitch and never came back, leaving her up there alone.]] Especially funny is how the swelling romantic music just immediately stops cold.

Cue Dummy [[BrickJoke dousing him with fire extinguisher]]. After a moment of stillness, Tony slowly lets his head fall back, as if wondering what to do about this and then deciding to just let it happen.

** Much of the flight to the upper atmosphere is filled with dramatic updates from JARVIS about the suit's remaining power supply, to which Tony basically tells him to shut up since he's being a CaptainObvious. When JARVIS finally chimes in "2%" after the *clonk* above, he sounds like a little kid scared that his dad is gonna yell at him.
