Funny / The Sensational She-Hulk

• The Sensational run has a Funny moment with its first and final covers. The first cover has She-Hulk tell readers that if they don't start picking up her comic, she was going to come and tear up their X-Men comics. On the cover of her final issue, she tells the reader to hand 'em over.
• Issue #3 - The antics surrounding the Headmen removing She-Hulk's head from her body and placing Chondu's own head on it.
• Issue #5 has both a Funny and Awesome moment in which She-Hulk and friends escape a trap from Doctor Bong by running across the two-page mail-away ad spread in the middle of the comic. Every single entry mocks the title and/or creators involved with it, from numerous jabs at The New Universe to pointing out the in-joke that Walter and Louise Simonson are the models for the parents in Power Pack.
• Issue #8: While playing Agent Scully to an old self-professed detective^note who is actually Santa Claus - it was the December issue, after all in order to convict a criminal, Jen muses, "...I think I need about a half page of subplot to mull this over..." After said half page of a foreshadowing sub-plot, we rejoin Jen, who's now running across a completely unknown rooftop, with a different outfit:
  There's only one thing wrong with cutting away for subplots like that... When you come back, all sorts of time can have passed... and you can find yourself doing outrageous things, without the slightest notion of how you got talked into them!
• Issue #9 opens with Jen yelling at her editor Bobbie Chase over the changes in the writing and drawing team for the issue. She even points out how her outfit and apartment have changed.
• Issue #10:
  • Jen is accosted by Mary Hart from Entertainment Tonight. When Jen asks why the comic isn't simply using a parody, Mary responds, "like we care if we're in a comic".
  • Jen complains about having a Flashback Within a Flashback and is then surprised by how short it is.
  • Simon Williams auditioning for the role of Wonder Man in the She-Hulk movie and being rejected while people who look and act nothing like the heroes are easily accepted by the casting director.
  • The villain of the issue and the person who greenlit the She-Hulk movie is revealed to be Krang, a warlord of Atlantis. His evil plan is to create a theatrical flop by raising one hundred million dollars from various backers, all of whom think they own 100% while he only spent a tiny amount of that money on the film and keeps the rest for himself. She-Hulk points out that this is a ripoff of the Mel Brooks movie, The Producers.
• Issue #15:
  • Dr Angst claiming that his name is worth shouting.
  • Weezi's reaction to meeting Howard the Duck for the first time.
  Weezi: Jennifer, this, this is a duck!
  Howard: That ain't the half of it, toots. I'm also a smoker.
• Issue #16: Weezi doesn't believe Howard the Duck when he tells them that the Critic, a bald alien man, warned him that the universe was at stake. Then they turn on the radio and hear a report about a bald giant in a tweed sports coat jumping out of a plane. As an apology, Howard is allowed to smoke in the car much to Weezi's annoyance.
• Issue #18 opens with Jen having an Erotic Dream in which she and Hercules are enjoying a night on the beach when they are attacked by a robot named D.A.V.E. (Digital Autobotic Vixen Eradicator). D.A.V.E. sees Jen's congress with Hercules as inappropriate for her status as a role model for little girls and tries to kill her. She defeats him and goes back to the spot where she and Hercules were only to see he has been replaced with her nerdy friend Brent Wilcox. Jen wakes up and realizes she has destroyed her bed and Weezi is in the room. To say Jen is embarrassed would be an understatement.
• Issue #18 reveals that Doctor Doom has a fifth cousin named Robert who works as a dentist.
• The cover of issue #19 has a guy asking Nosferata to spell her name as she dangles him over a ledge while She-Hulk has an exasperated look on her face.
• Issue #21:
  • When She-Hulk connects to the Avengers' mainframe, the screen displays a message saying "Don't even think of hacking this board!".
  • Captain Rectitude, the superhero mascot of the American Purity Foundation asks if he should destroy the Randi Rocket Fountain which he sees as a "salacious depiction of womanhood". His boss Jasper Keaton says not to because it would jeopardize the discount room rates of their members at the hotel.
  • When Abominatrix confronts Louise.
  Louise: Those toes! You're the one who broke into my apartment.
  Abominatrix: Yeah and now you're coming with me! And don't give me any trouble. I'm already missing All My Children because of you!
  • She-Hulk gets knocked into a slot machine by Abominatrix. She hears the footsteps of a stampede and assumes the casino guests are in a panic only to see them rushing to claim all the money that has spilled out of the machine.
  • She-Hulk whacks Abominatrix with a street lamp and sends her flying into a church where a couple are about to get married. In response to the priest asking why the couple should not get married, Abominatrix responds "He's drunk as a skunk, she's a bulimic little Gold Digger. Good enough reason?". To add insult to injury, the drunk groom thanks Abominatrix for saving him from making a mistake.
• When She-Hulk and Wanda go to the Fantastic Four for help, Wanda complains about "more old fuddies in skin-tight suits". She-Hulk has to mentally repeat the phrase "I will not kill her" over and over again to maintain her patience and then adds "yet".
• In issue #25, Louise's home gets invaded by a horde of purple demons. She calls Jen but is admits she isn't in any danger. Then Jen hears a crash from Louise's end. When Louise states that there are "two men with beach-sized biceps in her bedroom", a very eager She-Hulk rushes over.
• The cover of issue #30 has She-Hulk facing the Hobgoblin and complaining that she wasn't planning on fighting him until Halloween.
• The cover for issue #31 has Jen complaining about the words "Jenny To the Center of the Earth" being on the cover.
  I don't believe this! I'm plunging towards certain doom and I get bad puns for cover copy!
• Issue #35:
  • She-Hulk complains about the Black Talon doing a repeat of the expository speech he made in the previous issue.
  I mean, I know it's good to do a recap so new readers can catch up, but it sure makes for choppy reading when these stories get put together in a trade paperback.
  • She-Hulk punches out Scaleface causing her to explode. When Jen's hand gets covered in disgusting lizard goop, she charges out of the story to confront the Keeper Of The Comics Code and demands to know how dragon goop is allowable. He looks it up, and informs her there are no specific rules against dead dragon goop. He then pushes her back into the story while he "gets back to protecting the youth of America by approving misogynistic crucifixion scenes".
• In issue #36, She-Hulk and Wheezi visit She-Hulk's father Morris Walters for the holidays, and Morris takes them in to meet She-Hulk's never-seen-before brothers and sisters and their families. She-Hulk, in response, pulls out a copy of the sixth issue of The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Master Edition and recites all her known relatives up until then, before she kicks the entire extended family out, insisting she's an only child.
  She-Hulk: Bad enough Marvel's done stories that establish both my male cousins are giant monsters! I don't want to provide any further grist for that particular mill!
• Issue #39, the resolution of the two-part story featuring old one-time Fantastic Four foe Mahkizmo. When he is snapped out of the spell of Eros' love arrow (which we saw the issue before) and is safely restrained, She-Hulk has to explain to Mahkizmo, for three panels straight, why his Gendercide plot to scare women into submission could never work. It still takes him a while longer to piece it together; his expression is simply priceless.
• Issue #41:
  • Louise's confused reaction to Jen's cheesecake poses while recapping the plot of the previous issue.
  • She-Hulk getting interrupted by the ship getting hit as she was about to say that her male audience only cares about the size of hair and saying, "there's no need for the code to go ballistic!".
• Issue #43 has editor Renee Witterstaetter interrupting the story's opening to criticize Byrne for ripping off Rob Liefeld's art (which Byrne incorrectly refers to a "fromage"^note Fromage is the French word for "cheese". What Byrne meant to say was "Homage" and forbidding him from mentioning his name throughout the story.
• Issue #50:
  • The first dialogue exchange shows how far John Byrne will go when it comes to self-deprecation.
  She-Hulk: He's dead?! How did he die?
  Renée Witterstaetter: Oh, it was a terrible tragedy. He tripped over a dangling subplot and broke his neck.
  • The various directions and writers Renée offers to She-Hulk are rather hilarious. Special mention goes to a proposal which has characters speaking in comical British slang and a parody of a Frank Miller dark and gritty comic.
  • In the end, it is revealed that Byrne actually isn't dead. Renée knocked him out and stuffed him in a closet because she felt the new direction he wanted to take the book in was a bad one. Byrne shows She-Hulk his new idea; a comic depicting her and her cast as children. She-Hulk tosses the script out the window, causing Byrne to leap out after it and seemingly die.
• Issue #56: The issue opens with She-Hulk being attacked by War-Zone, a robot whom she encountered in issue #50 and tried to kill her on behalf of a yet to be revealed enemy. The issue displays a list of suspects as to who War Zone's employer could be; John "The Rumbler" David, a Hollywood actor with a grudge against She-Hulk's father; Daniel "Zapper" Ridge Jr., She-Hulk's ex-boyfriend who still carries a torch for her and is jealous of her relationship with Wyatt Wingfoot; Christian DeVasquez, Ridge's current wife who is jealous of his affections towards Jen; and the Spider-Man villain Carnage who has nothing to do with the story and was only included in the issue as a blatant attempt at a sales boost.
• Issue #58:
  • Tommy, an intern at the Marvel offices who got sucked into the Marvel Universe, has now become the superhero known as the Gopher. He tries to become She-Hulk's sidekick but she refuses. When he tries to blackmail her by threatening to reveal her secret identity, a nearby crowd reminds him that Jen doesn't have one.
  • She-Hulk tells Tommy that he can be her sidekick after "his parents get murdered by criminals and he's caught in a bizarre accident gives him the powers of a seven-foot, green termite with tentacles". An enthusiastic Tommy runs off and then Jen remembers to her horror that she's in a superhero comic.
• Issue #59: The entire issue is a non-stop barrage of hilarious moments.
  • While on her way out to work, Jen observes that Wyatt is blonde for some reason and tells the artist to have it fixed before she gets back home.
  • Jen is assigned to prosecute an armored car robbery case which she finds unimpressive. While in the taxi, she complains that she would give anything for a real supervillain trial...only to see several supervillains outside the courthouse as she pulls up.
  • The above then leads into the main plot, which involves several supervillains bringing a class action suit against the Tinkerer for giving them faulty equipment.
    • The testimonies are also worthy of a laugh. Special mention goes to Stilt-Man mentioning how his armor failed to save him from being run over by cockroaches and Blizzard complaining about waking up with ice in his underwear.
    • Taskmaster is called to the stand. He argues that the Tinkerer's equipment isn't flawed, the villains are simply too stupid to use it properly. This causes a fight to break out which spills over into the courtroom next door where She-Hulk has just learned that the defendant in her own case is actually the villain known as the Vanisher.
    • Jennifer notices Porcupine and points out he is supposed to be dead. Porcupine drops dead on the spot.
    • She-Hulk is confronted by Boomerang and Ringer, and taunts them over being the same person since they "both throw things". The two villains start arguing over who is better, allowing She-Hulk to knock them both out.
    • Then She-Hulk gets the rest of the villains to back down by insulting their gimmicks. The Tinkerer argues that this proves his devices aren't the problem. The judge dismisses the entire case "on the grounds it's the stupidest pack of nonsense [she's] ever heard".
    • The Tinkerer and the Mad Thinker argue with each other over who is the smartest. They ask She-Hulk for her opinion and she simply leaves, having been exhausted by the events of the day.
  • The final page reveals that Jen's father is staying with her and Wyatt much to her frustration.
• Issue #60:
  • She-Hulk is attacked by a Xenomorph-like creature. This prompts her to joke that if the creature doesn't kill her, James Cameron's lawyers will.
  • It is ultimately revealed that the creature is actually a mecha piloted by D-Lister villain, the Scarlet Beetle.
  She-Hulk: So... why are you after me?
  Scarlet Beetle: It's simple — I need the work. This the only comic that would take me. At least until Ant-Man gets his own book again.
  She-Hulk: Wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.
  Scarlet Beetle: Tell me about it. I tried to get a job as an X-Men villain but Bob Harras nearly laughed himself into a coma! "Who's gonna be scared of a talking palmetto bug bug," he said! I was even turned down for membership in the Masters of Evil. Now that's what I call humiliating! But I'll show you all! One day I'll return and you pathetic cretins will bow before my conquering intellect! I will rule this puny —
  (Morris swats him with a newspaper)
  Morris: Only thing I really hate about New York — the bugs.
