History Funny / ThePunisher

--> (On first hearing of the Punisher) "''Is he like Mighty {{Comicbook/Thor}}? I am fan of mighty Thor. He has big hammer, he seems like good Communist''..."

* He's basically a OneSceneWonder but his appearance in the Civil War was memorable: [[spoiler:He joins the Anti-Registration side and does some infiltration work for them, enters their base, sees two supervillains, shoots them dead on the spot, and is promptly told to leave.]]

* Funny/ThePunisherMax

* Soap attempting to find an apt description for the drug trade, settling for that Ulysses guy from Roman legend fighting a lion whose heads grew back. After his partner corrects him on all three (Hercules, Greek, a hydra), Soap claims it's still a valid metaphor. ''Frank'' steps in to correct him ("Analogy.").
* Most credits sequences have cutscenes or moments from the game playing, or concept art. Volition put in a blooper reel of various bug testing sessions that produced the most amazing results, including the visual of Punisher emerging from a casket to the shock of all the gang members there, and then ''running around waving his arms in the air along with them.''
* Sometimes when the Punisher kills an enemy with one of the special interrogations, he makes a funny remark about it. Showing he's got a sense of humor, albeit a dark one.
--> '''Frank:'''''[After dropping a Yakuza gang member in a meat grinder]'' Never got his name, I'll just call him chuck.
* While crashing Bobby's funeral, Frank comes across a mortician who thanks him for all his work he's been doing as the Punisher, saying that it earned him enough money to get his three kids through college.
* After you throw a mook down the well at Ma Gnucci's place, stick around. He's not quite dead.

* A crossover comic has Frank and Wolverine team up to take out a South American haven for criminals. They're captured by a guy (who dresses up as Napoleon) who wants them to fight to the death, claiming that it's nothing they wouldn't do on their own seeing as ComicBook/ThePunisher thinks Wolverine is a limp-wristed liberal (Wolverine gives Frank an "Excuse ''me?!?''" look while [[JerkassHasAPoint Frank just looks smugly to the side]]), and Wolverine thinks Frank is a brainless hot-head ([[NotSoDifferent they switch expressions]]).

--> (After dropping a Yakuza gang member in a meat grinder,)'''Frank''': Never got his name, I'll just call him chuck.

* There are a lot in ''ComicBook/WelcomeBackFrank'' but the top one is probably when HilarityInZoos. Devoid of weapons Frank dispatches several mooks before finding a polar bear pen, coming up with the ''[[CrazyEnoughToWork brilliant]]'' idea of angering them to fight by ''punching'' one.

* Frank is able to infiltrate a gang of neo nazis, his disguise solely consisting of a cowboy hat and a confederate flag shirt. He's only found out when one of them opens up his duffle bag to see his logo. Frank promptly holds him out the door of the truck he's driving and kills him by driving next to a cactus.

* During one of his (many) rematches with [[TheBigGuy The Russian]], Frank finds himself interrupted by SpiderMan. Unable to fight the Russian toe-to-toe himself, he manages to hold Spidey up in front of him, using him as a shield as the Russian just ''wails'' on him. After the fight, as the confused and beaten Spidey regains consciousness...

* Nick Fury hires Frank to retrieve PowerArmor that used to be SHIELD's before it was disbanded. He (a former Army man) convinces Frank ( a former Marine) of the righteousness of his deeds by by revealing that it was given to [[InterserviceRivalry the Air Force]].

-->'''Punisher:''' (sheepishly) I assumed. Besides, I wasn't aiming to kill you. Just to get your attention.

* "''Am I sure it was The Punisher?'' Is that supposed to be funny, Soap?!!" (said by a cop amidst the remains of a firefight between frank and a dozen now-dead goons)

* Another crossover has Punisher team up with Wolverine to kill some criminal midgets. Yes... you read that correctly. At one point, Punisher blows off Wolverine's face with a shotgun, [[GroinAttack shoots him in the balls]], and parks a steamroller on him [[WhoFramedRogerRabbit Judge Doom style]].
