From the election comics:

  • In their comic for the election results, both Sunspot and Cannonball angrily demand to know who came in higher in the election as Cyclops drags them away.
  • Tempo refuses to deal with Boom-Boom's drunken babbling and tries slowing her down. It just drags it out.

From Marauders #21:

  • Ned, the member of AIM who helped out in Giant-Size X-Men: Storm, shows up in his hazmat suit and immediately fistbumps Jean Grey.
  • The Thing finds Iceman, Bishop, Shinobi Shaw, Pyro, and the AIM henchman playing dice in one of the balconies and is offended...that they didn't ask him to join. "IT'S GAMBLING TIME!" he yells as he rolls the bones.
  • Doctor Doom is being incredibly frosty, so Emma tries to reassure him:
    Emma Frost: Victor. Mutants are here. We're not going anywhere. You've acted as though we have announced that we've conquered Earth.
    Shi'ar Ambassador: Emma Frost, on behalf of the Shi'ar Empire, we would like to congratulate mutantdom on conquering your home planet.
  • Emma briefly considers having a fling with Captain America. Kate tries to dissuade her:
    Kate: Emma. He likes baseball games. He wore the same uniform for a century. He drinks milk.
  • Later on, Emma takes a peek inside his mind and realizes that she reminds Steve of his mother:
    Emma: She was born at the turn of the previous century. I need a drink.
    Kate: You have one.
    Emma: I need another!
    • The devastated look on Emma's face really brings the whole thing together.

From Hellions #12:

This comic is one long moment of Funny.

  • Havok comes down in his Gala outfit. It's a lot:
    Havok: How do I look?
    Greycrow: Don't know where to start.
    Nanny: Like a boy who needs attention?
    Greycrow: Or is angry at his dad, maybe.
  • Mister Sinister arrives at the Gala and immediately acts like a pretentious asshole.
    • "So...which one is Captain America and which one is Iron Man? I'm sorry, I don't own a TV."
    • Later on, he claims himself to be a god to Thor and Black Panther. Both take the first opportunity that comes their way (courtesy of Nanny) to ditch him.
    • Later on, he comes across Franklin Richards and offers to help him with his problem note . Cue Reed Richards escorting Franklin out of sight at the speed of light.
  • Kurt shows up to talk to the Hellions. A very drunk Kurt. "Whoa! The Hellionsh! You made it! Got a sec. I acshually think about you guysh a lot..."
    • Kurt is later seen still drunkenly trying to explain his philosophy of the three laws of Krakoa to an equally drunk Nanny.
  • Quentin Quire tries to get the Hellions thrown out, only for Psylocke to keep them around with a threat that the Stepford Cuckoos hear that Quentin thinks their dress is a "Nurse Ratchet" look.
    • Later on, the Cuckoos pick this up as a "hearse ratchet".
  • Nanny begins double fisting champagne. And since she doesn't have a mouth, she just pours it into the hole at the top of her suit.
  • Empath makes Orphanmaker think he's drunk. Orphanmaker immediately starts yelling about how he loves bananas. "BANANAS!"
  • When Wild Child attacks Daken and everyone gets into a fight, a drunken Nanny decides that now is the best time to punish Mister Sinister. By smashing a wine glass and trying to gut him. "Judgment day, mother#@$%##!"
  • Empath comes across Catseye and Roulette... who he made try to kill each other the last time all three crossed paths. Cue the two ladies teaming up to kick his ass.
    • Empath screams "Hellions Assemble!" No one hears him.
  • The Cuckoos wonder if Nanny and Mr Sinister are an item. Not only are they utterly wrong, but they are disgusted by the mere idea. One of them has to go change her dress.

From X-Force #20:

  • Deadpool decides to crash the island his own way: floating in on an inflatable rubber ducky.

From X-Men #21:

  • When the winners of the first Krakoan X-Men election are announced, Laura Kinney (Wolverine) has skewered several shrimps on her claws. It's a pretty funny image for such a serious character.
  • There's something quite hilarious about Kevin Feige, one of the most beloved figures in Marvel, making a cameo appearance in a franchise he, at the time the issue was released, has yet to adapt to the big screen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
    • Although this is even funnier considering Feige also worked on the original Fox X-Men movies, bringing things full circle.

From Planet-Size X-Men #1:

  • After the terraforming of Mars, Jean plants an idea in Jamie Braddock's head and he literally gives birth to S.W.O.R.D. Station Two. Afterwards, he says, "Now, you lot really know how to show a fella a good time. Somebody owes me supper."

From X-Men: Hellfire Gala (2022) #1:

  • Spider-Man runs into Doctor Doom and jokingly asks him which Mutant he thinks will be resurrected next: David Bowie or Jimmi Hendrix? Doom tells Spidey to get lost and Web-Head scrams. After a beat panel, Victor wonders if the arachnid was on to something and if Bowie might actually have been a Mutant.
