Go To

1* Hulk and Umar ranked somewhere in-between strangely hilarious and DudeNotFunny. It is basically in the uncomfortable weirdness area, which, along with being so unexpected, is why it stood out so much.
2** In the original Defenders series where Umar made Hulk her love slave, he was physically exhausted after [[SpeedSex six minutes]]. In the Heart of the Monster storyline where she comes back for seconds, with Hulk now in his Green Scar/Worldbreaker mode, they go all night long.
3** Again from Heart of the Monster, when Comicbook/DoctorStrange, Amadeus Cho, and Sofia Di Cosimo go through a portal to the Dark Dimension and emerge looking like cut-rate ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' characters. Strange is particularly irritated.
4* ''Hulk: Broken Worlds'' #2: Adam Warren's story of the time the 245-foot tall {{kaiju}} Manga/MarvelMangaverse Hulk went moongazing, and ended up derailing Ragnarok by beating the Fenris Wolf to death with Jormungandr.
5* About half of Jason Aaron's run.
6** One hilarious example: C-list villain The Orb not only gets [[CurbStompbattle his ass handed to him]] by Hulk and Red She-Hulk but he gets the "honor" [[PrimalScene of learning how]] [[DestructoNookie Hulks mate]].
7** Hulk in control of Banner's mind. He uses his finger and thumb to guide the joystick while there's a big "smash" button that fits his right hand. Next to it, are smaller, Banner-sized buttons for Theoretical Physics, Atomic Theory, Quantum Mechanics, Reason, Compromise, and [[WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer Build a Gamma Bomb]].
8** [[AllAmazonsWantHercules Amanda von Doom's infatuation with the Hulk.]]
9* During Peter David's tenure, the Hulk took on the Professor persona and was able to reverse his HulkingOut so that as he got angrier, he became a savage, furious... Bruce Banner. The image of a skinny scientist acting like the Hulk is as funny as you think.
10* Rick Jones survives a crashing Skrull saucer thanks to a parachute pack he had on hand. Why did he need a parachute pack? "[[CrazyPrepared I always carry a miniature parachute with me]] [[http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2009/02/03/a-year-of-cool-comic-book-moments-day-34/ in case I have to jump from an exploding Skrull saucer.]]" (Peter David had actually written himself into a corner and forgotten about Rick; the parachute incident made Rick ultra-savvy and reinvigorated the character.)
11* Bruce's entire relationship with Maria Hill. They really love annoying each other, and Bruce keeps borrowing things from her (including money). He goes through a lot of iPads.
12* In the Indestructible Hulk and Daredevil team up, Daredevil jumps down into a dark space while Maria asks him to wait until they at least get him a light...
13-->'''Daredevil''': You are ''adorable''.
14* During one issue of Peter David's run, the Rhino impersonates a mall Santa, but his temper causes him to eventually snap and start tearing up the place. The Grey Hulk comes in and starts fighting him. Eventually a sales rep from a mom and pop cookie store attempts to calm the two down by offering up free cookie samples, leading to this gem:
15-->'''The Rhino''': Are these macadamia nuts?
16-->'''Sales Rep''': Why yes.
17-->'''The Rhino''': '''[[BerserkButton I HATE]] [[DoesNotLikeSpam MACADAMIA NUTS!]]'''
18* In Incredible Hulk #349 by Peter David, Spidey realises that Mr. Fixit is in fact the currently presumed dead Hulk. His reaction? this hammy exchange:
19-->'''Mr. Fixit''': Egad NO! I've been FOUND OUT!
20-->'''Mr. Fixit''': I have to ESCAPE!
21-->'''Spidey''': HUH?
22** cue Mr. Fixit making his escape by jumping straight through the roof as seen by a very confused Spidey ... only to smash down on Spidey from above seconds later.
23-->'''Mr. Fixit''': Nice of you to wait around.
24* In the beginning of issue 181, the Hulk crash-lands in Canada, right on top of a farmer's fence. The man, not giving a single damn about the fact that it's the ''Hulk'', starts yelling at him... and the Hulk ''apologises'', before wondering what the heck he's doing.
25* It's not canon, but there was an old house ad for Marvel subscriptions that featured the Hulk, dressed in a smoking jacket and slippers, sitting in a well-furnished upper class sitting room, and addressing the reader in a voice like Alistair Cooke, "It is I, the ever-incredible Hulk." It's adorable, and ends with the classic line, "Be elite! It's neat!"
26* In the Civil War II: The Fallen #1, [[spoiler: Daredevil is responsible for reading Bruce Banner's will after he is killed by Hawkeye]]. Apparently the Hulk owned Music/JimiHendrix's guitar for no reason other than [[RuleOfCool he thought it would be cool to own it]].
27* Way back in ''The Incredible Hulk'' #6, when Bruce transforms into the Hulk, but with Banner's head. He's not pleased.
28* At the end of the ‘Mr. Fixit’ run, Green Hulk shows back up during an argument. Afterwards, there is a scene taking place in Banner’s subconcious as Grey Hulk is attempting to hold shut a door which Green Hulk is trying to get through.
29-->'''Mr. Fixit:''' Great, just great, I manage to establish myself, get a rep, and people started to forget I used to have the skin color and IQ of an avocado. Then you had to show back up!\
30'''Green Hulk:''' (reaching around the mental door Grey is attempting to shut) Hulk smash puny grey Hulk!!\
31'''Mr. Fixit:''' Hey! Is that Lou Ferrigno?\
32'''Green Hulk:''' (looks behind him) What?\
33'''Mr. Fixit:''' (slamming shut the door) Sucker!
34* When Rick Jones was set to marry Marlo Chandler, the Marvel heroes agree to throw him a bachelor party. It leads to the teen heroes spiking the punch, the party getting invaded by [[https://comicvine.gamespot.com/ecdysiast/4005-60100/ The Ecdysiast]] - the nom de plume for a stripper - and watch a pornographic film - with poor Cap covering his eyes - [[spoiler:that they find out stars Marlo!]]
35** Just the fact that [[ChasteHero Captain America]] was [[WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong assigned the task]] to hire entertainment for Rick's bachelor party... and he hired The Ecdysiast ''thinking she was a magic act''.
36** Also just the fact that in a place like the Marvel Universe, a fancy name like [[https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ecdysiast Ecdysiast]] wouldn't be any different than anyone else's costumed identity.
37* During the ''Batman''/''Hulk'' crossover, ComicBook/TheJoker uses his new powers granted by the Super of Worlds to troll the two heroes. The Hulk's annoyance at being turned into a ''clown'' and a ''Picasso drawing'' have to be seen to be believed.
