- From issue seven of the original series, Beast takes his uncomfortably small shoes off in a cafe full of beatniks, who begin reacting in an astonished fashion. They then proceed to carry him off, declaring his feet a sensation. He has no idea what is happening.
- Not to mention said beatniks drawing faces on his size EEE soles.
Hank: I appreciate these accolades, but I think you're all totally bereft of sanity!
Beatnik: Not only does he have the world's greatest feet, but he talks, too!
- In the issue where the Original 5 first fight the Blob, Bobby is almost late for a briefing because he snuck off to eat ice cream. When Hank catches him and tells him to hurry, he pleads “I was, uh, conducting an experiment in keeping food refrigerated!”
- The Beast's insistance on remaining eloquent and articulate under all circumstances is a constant source of laughs. An early example from X-Men #16:
Beast: (as he and Marvel Girl are about to fall to their deaths) "If any of you stalwarts would care to come to our assistance, there's no need for reticence! In other words - HELP!"
- The X-Men's first-ever fight with Spider-Man, who they mistake for a mutant villain. Notably, they're talking on communicator with Jean as Spider-Man rises up from where he fell into a pond.
Spider-Man: All right, you mutant misfits, I've had it! One cataclysmic climax coming in which a slightly soggy Spider-Man creams four X-Men! Also, turn around when I'm yelling at you, it's not polite to ignore a threat!
- Then, when the Beast tries to apologize, Spider-Man smacks his hand away while declaring "you're a bunch of full-time nuts!" To top it all off, Spidey mutters about his classic bad luck as "they all drive off in a Rolls-Royce and I stand here soaked with the first signs of a summer cold!"
- Hank again, this time in X-Men 53:
Bobby: I see that blow to your head didn't damage your talent for big words. I was kind of hoping it had.
- Just after Jean's first become the Phoenix, Logan dressed up in incredibly fancy clothes, and goes to buy some flowers for her. Then he gets to the hospital and finds the other X-Men have promptly beaten him to the punch. Logan promptly tosses the flowers in the nearest trash can.
- X-Force (2013), while darker than the main series, has it's moments of humor with an overly flirtatious Fantomex and a very done with his bullshit Psylocke.
- There's also the moment when a bad guy the team is threatening refers to Marrow as an "attack hedgehog".
- In the otherwise serious issue 108, when the X-Men meet Jahf, guardian of the M'Kraan Crystal, Wolverine thinks he can take the guy easily.
Cyclops: "Wolverine, be careful. We don't know what we're up against!"
Wolverine: "You be careful, bub. That's your bag, ain't it? 'Sides, I ain't gonna hurt the lil' fella — much."
Jahf: (Drawing back a fist) "That's for sure."
SFX: POW!
[Wolverine goes flying far and fast enough to reach escape velocity.]
- Beast's reaction to getting zapped with a multi-kilovolt static charge by Magneto during a fight.Source X-Men #112
(weakly) "S' all ri..., Storm... only hurts when I... I laff..."
- Astonishing X-Men was full of these from the beginning.
- Kitty accidentally being late to the assembly Emma is holding for the students in the Danger Room.
Emma: This children, is Kitty Pryde, who apparently feels the need to make a grand entrance.
Emma: So gushingly glad you could join us.
- Wolverine sitting on the foot of Cyclops and Emma Frost's bed asking the former "what stage of grieving" their sleeping together is. Followed by him getting blasted out a window.
- Their first mission, rescuing the hostages from Ord, involves Kitty phasing people through the floors under said Ord's nose.
- "Who are you talking to?" *soldier looks out an empty window* "My swim coach..."
- Lockheed popping out of nowhere and flaming Ord in the face. This leads to Wolverine thinking he should be team leader.
- The party they had to literally crash to rescue? It was a fundraiser that Frost's family had supported for "generations," and now that she's a public mutant she isn't invited. How she convinces the organizer to let her back in the loop? Threatening sexual obsession with Leroy Neiman's artwork.
- Beast is analyzing a sample of "Hope", a "cure" for mutation, and is seriously considering using it. Wolverine starts a fight with him over it that spills through a wall. One student's observation: "So, what - the teachers spend all their time here trying to kill each other? This place is so cool."
- Emma Frost being a teacher of "ethics."
- When they attack Genetec, the source of the Mutant "cure," Scott is shot and bleeding out. His hallucination is hilarious.
- The team is facing Ord for a second time, coming up with a plan that will probably involve his eyes and other "soft" parts. But before they can finish it, Beast, Logan and Frost are all surprised because Colossus, who has just returned from death, is standing behind Ord. That look is priceless. Ord assumes something else:
"Is that dragon thing behind me?"
- John Cassaday's facial expressions totally sell the scene.
- When asked how they know it's Colossus they just found, Emma tells Agent Brand she read his mind, Beast tells her he checked his DNA, and Wolverine simply says "I smelled him." Beast chimes in with "I did that, too."
- Colossus throwing Wolverine in a Fastball Special is his first act out in the sunlight. Doubles as a CMoA.
- "You bite, I'll heal. I pop, you won't."
- While the team is fighting a big monster in downtown New York (to which The Thing yells is supposed to be the Fantastic Four's gig), each page is panels of them with their internal monologues about various emotional struggles. Then we get to Wolverine, who has 3 panels of nothing, followed by:
Wolverine: I really like beer.
- After the Danger Room has been shut down by becoming sentient and leaving, Logan takes a bunch of new students down there for fight training. When one asks what the danger will be, Logan turns off the lights. One long panel of darkness, followed by a second. In the second, "snikt."
- Cassandra Nova, controlling Emma, regresses Logan to his childhood as effete, pampered rich boy James Howlett. How is he awakened? What else - A beer.
- The highlight is probably his prayer when cornered by a feral Beast: "Dear God, I promise that if you let me live I'll be nicer to the poor, unless you don't like them for some reason and that's why they're poor."
- To awaken Beast from his feral nature, Blindfold hands him a ball of yarn. One that is chemically treated to restore his mind.
- Also from the "Torn" arc, when Kitty and Peter have sex for the first time, and Kitty ends up falling through the floor into the TV lounge directly below Peter's bedroom.
Kitty: I can't believe I phased just then. That's never—it was all your fault.
Peter: I like to think so, yes.
- And the next morning, at breakfast, Logan just looks at the two of them and says, "About time."
- The Once More, with Clarity page, when the mental dialogue is added in when they are discussing their plans. Especially Kitty and everyone's reaction to her.
Kitty: I object!
Piotr: Is not courtroom drama, Katya.
- "Can I help you?" "Are you a beer?"
- Emma deleting the memory of bad guys: "You feel no pain. You will go straight to a hospital. Remember nothing of this place. And every time you hear the words "parsley", "intractable" or "longitude", you will vomit uncontrollably for forty-eight hours."
Cyclops: "My girlfriend is very weird."
- This exchange between Wolverine and the Thing:
The Thing: Didn't they come up with a cure for your kind?
Wolverine: You got a problem with mutants?
The Thing: I meant Canadians.
- When Wolverine nearly kills her during training, Armor curses at him in Japanese. Wolverine immediately responds in the same language, much to her horror.
- After Cyclops has one-shotted a building-sized monster, literally blowing it in half (down the middle, if you were wondering).
Wolverine: Every time you do that, I wonder how screwed up the world is that it put a frickin' nuke inside the head of someone like you.
Cyclops: I just get sick of all the long fights and faffing around, you know?
Wolverine: You're a nutbag, Cyke.
- "Cyclops—Scott Summers. Leader of the X-Men. Owner of a jetpack." After literally decades of the same "optic force beams" intro blurb, we finally get an awesome (and hysterical) new one.
- There are many, many moments in Wolverine: First Class, usually courtesy of Kitty Pryde.
Thor: Is there anything on thy mind?
Kitty: Actually, yeah. I was wondering... How long does it take you to get your hair looking so good?
Thor: Mine... hair?
- This scene from New X-Men:
Fantomex: Jean, England is that way down the track; the tilt of your pelvis tells me you find me too attractive to permit them to capture me again.
Jean: (irritated) Ten minutes of falling debris, "Fantomex." Au revoir. Run.
- Scott Summers gets one in X-Men #1:
Jean: I must confess, infuriating and arrogant as Gambit can be... those eyes, that grin, the body — it takes a girl's breath away.
Cyclops: Oh, really? When next the opportunity presents itself... remind me to drop a truck on him.
Professor X: Cyclops.
Cyclops: A big truck.
Professor X: Cyclops.
Cyclops: A really big truck.
Professor X: Cyclops!
- In the second New X-Men series (about new students at the Xavier School), Elixir, a mutant healer, discovers that his powers can kill as well and doesn't handle the discovery well, turning his golden skin black while he broods about it. During a psychic conference with the other senior X-Men, Kitty Pryde brings her concerns for his well-being... it turns out she needn't have worried
◊. - Rockslide. Just... Rockslide.
- Or if you need specifics, try The Quest for Magik or To Serve And Protect. The former is a pretty creepy story, and yet he still manages a CMOF in almost every appearance.
- "Welcome to our Brotherhood."◊ Magneto's totally-aware-of-the-irony smirk is hilarious, but what makes the gag is the looks on Cyclops and Madrox's faces, and Layla behind them, trying her damnedest not to cry laughing.
- In a What If? story where the all-new, all-different X-Men never existed, the original X-Men plus Havok and Polaris still go to space to the Starcore space station and are about to make the fateful journey back into Earth (in the mainstream universe, this is where Jean Grey became possessed by the Phoenix Force). Keep in mind Polaris wasn't with the X-Men when this happened. Just as Jean is about to take matters into her own hands, this argument breaks out.
Cyclops: For how long?! Even your power—
Polaris: Will you two shut up!? I can bring this shuttle down to Earth without the computer, without piloting skill, without even leaving the shielded life cells! I have magnetic powers, remember? Sheesh!
Jean: ...Oh.
- X-Men: First Class had some gems.
- Issue 2 was intended to be a Beach Episode in Florida, and is for Bobby, Scott, and Jean, while Warren and Hank hunt down the Lizard in the Florida swamps to try and cure him. Warren is consoling himself by imagining that the ever-serious Scott is probably making them run drills. Cue Gilligan Cut to Scott cheerfully asking Bobby to top up the ice in his drink.
- A few panels later, Xavier tells Bobby to go inside and get some shade because his mutation makes him vulnerable to sunburn. Then, solely to Scott (who is now alone with Jean), he adds:
Xavier: And Scott... don't say I never did anything for you.
- Later, Xavier apologises to Hank for not being able to pin Connors down, as his mind is too much like the alligators' now, but he thinks he's got it.
Hank: So you think you may have a lead?
Xavier: Yes -
*Lizard attacks*
Xavier: I believe he is attached to your right leg.
- X-Men (2nd series) #75 had several great moments. Cecilia Reyes wearing a Wasp costume reject Beast had stolen from the Avengers. Cecilia acting like an ER doctor towards a blood covered Wolverine (she IS a doctor by the way). Cecilia's face when dropping in front of a demon. Also Marrow's when Maggot uses her for a fastball special. Finally Cecilia Reyes destroying a magic demon artefact when she drops on it with her buttocks.
- $#%^ing unicorns!
- Kurt and Warren using the Danger Room to roleplay Pirates of the Caribbean (and some sort of fantasy RPG that's mentioned, but not seen) in Ultimate X Men.
- In the Second Coming crossover, members of the "X-Club" (team of scientists put together by Beast) are sent to an alternate future to save the world. Their plan involves using a cat as bait to lure away mutant-hunting robots, and they eventually succeed... only to discover that this "future" was a simulation, all done to trick the X-Club into synthesizing a "cure" to wipe out the X-gene from all mutants. X-Club member Madison Jeffries's relieved response is, "You mean... the kitten didn't die?"
- During the team's first encounter with Alpha Flight, they're on the run in Calgary. The team is set to meet at a rendezvous point, but Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Banshee, and Storm are missing. Cut to Banshee shopping with Storm. Granted, it's so that they can disguise Storm who sticks out like a sore thumb, but still.
- For a time, Wolverine operated in Madripoor as "Patch", which involved him wearing an eyepatch and taking no other disguise precautions. Throughout the "Gehenna Affair" storyline, people keep revealing that they've known Patch is Wolverine all along, but Jessica Drew explains why nobody told him: "When somebody with claws and a temper wants to believe he's fooling people, well... no one wants to be the one to say, "Hey, Wolvie, what's with the stupid eyepatch!" Not coincidentally, this was written by Peter David.
- The first issue of Wolverine and the X-Men ends with a brochure detailing the new school's classes and activities. Amongst these are:
- "Ethics 101: Forgetting Everything You Learned From Emma Frost", taught by Kitty Pryde (an awesome Call-Back to a moment from Astonishing X-Men detailed above)
- "Algebra Sucks, I Know, But You Still Have To Learn It", taught by Iceman
- "Diction and Linguistics", taught by Rogue
- "The Art of Fighting Without Fighting", taught by Wolverine... followed by "The Art of Fighting With Fighting", also taught by Wolverine
- "Sex Ed", taught by Gambit
- "How to Weaponize Household Products", taught by Gambit
- "Know Your Alien Races (And How To Kill Them)", taught by Lockheed
- "Flying Into Things Headfirst", taught by Cannonball
- The "Let's All Clean Up After Ourselves" Club, with Custodian Toad.
- And the "inaugural flag football game vs. Avengers Academy" (which then actually happened towards the end of Avengers Academy)
- And let us take a moment to appreciate the school motto "The best there is at what we do"
- The fact that the whole thing is a Brick Joke stemming from an earlier syllabus of Logan's◊ back when he taught at Xavier's School. Oh, how the tables have turned...
- And then issue #25 ends with an updated class list and event schedule with notes by Wolverine.

- Iceman and Angel #1: The eponymous duo are going up against "GOOGAM, THE THING FROM PLANET X!" and wonder where the Avengers, Fantastic Four and military are when there's a giant monster trashing Manhattan. The Avengers: fighting Kang. The FF: fighting Annihilus. The military: um...◊
Namor: For the last time, I
can't surrender! This
isn't an invasion of your surface world!
I just wanted a bagel! We don't
have them down there!
Imperius Rex! - Cyclops #1: Cyke's day has been vastly improved by the chance to loosen up... by taking down the Circus of Crime, at one point pulling a Hero Stole My Bike and leaving a note with an apology and phone number.
Princess Python: We don't exactly look like the kind of people who care, now do we?
Cyke: You
look like a dollar store Cirque de Soleil, lady. C'mon, walkie-talkies? Are you supervillains or mall cops?
[later]
Cyke's Internal Monologue: So their boss is rich, old-fashioned and needs a lot of obsolete tech nobody else wants. Doesn't sound like anybody I ever heard of. Who is he, the Mad Hoarder? Baron von
Antiques Roadshow?
[at the end]
Xavier: News reports of a supervillain crime wave with suspected mutant sightings, SHIELD agents inquiring whether one of my students has gone rogue...
and a Mr. Herman has been ringing the phone off my desk demanding to know what I've done with his bicycle. What on
earth have you been up to today?
- Every single panel of Doctor Nemesis in the X-Club miniseries. Especially after he gets the starfish.
Nemesis: Eat viral liquefaction, unethically cloned carbon waste! I'll put my science in you! I'LL PUT MY SCIENCE IN ALL OF YOU!
Starfish: I have no idea what I'm saying.
- X-Men #9 (v2): Beast, in the middle of a fight after Wolverine growls, says "Logan? I realize you're having trouble holding onto your ever tenuous grip on humanity, but "grrrr" falls somewhat short of articulate." *Wolverine launches himself at an enemy behind Beast* "Of course I'm a firm believer in free expression!"
- A group of female X-Men travel into Wolverine's mind to stop a Demonic Possession. They find multiple doors...
- Emma Frost finds the "Sexual Fantasies Door", which contains herself, Spiral, Mystique, Jewel, and Squirrel Girl, who is ridiculously well-endowed.
- His current girlfriend Melita Gardner finds the "Hopes and Dreams" door, which, while we don't see it, has him living out his life with Jean Grey. Oooops.
- Kitty Pryde finds the "Reasons To Hate Myself" and "Secrets Of Weapon X" doors and pities him.
- Jubilee finds the "X-Men I've Had Sex With Door" and remarks "Okay... that's definitely not what the Danger Room is for".
- Rogue finds... the "How I Cheat At Cards Door" and she remarks "I knew it!"
- Finally, when Wolverine is asked if he wants to go on living or take this opportunity to die, the scene flashes to one more door: "People I Need To Kill Before I Die".
- A+X #13: Cyclops trying to hit Captain America in the face with a frying pan.
- Professor Xavier and the X-Men #5: A pair of random mercenaries' dialogue before the X-Men show up.
Mercenary A: I hate this! I'm a trained mercenary! I know 64 ways to kill a guy with a spoon and I'm stuck guarding an electric generator.
Mercenary B: D'you mean you can kill a guy who has a spoon — or that you can kill a guy with your own personal spoon?
- And three pages later, after they've been clobbered.
Mercenary A: Must...reach...spoon.
- A rare show of humor from Bishop is in Xtreme X-Men when he poses as a federal officer to check out a mutant murder. He wears dark sunglasses indoors with a camera to show the others what he finds.
Cop: What's with the shades?
Bishop: Regulations. We like to look cool.
- In her first meeting with the X-Men, Scott's then-girlfriend Madeline Pryor is asked to hold a blanket-wrapped Lockheed. She parts the folds to get a look at the "cat." The following exchange has Madelyne wearing an utterly, rigidly blank expression.
Madelyne: [grabs his tie] Scott.
Scott: Yes, Madelyne? [she proceeds to pull on his tie until he's face to face with her] Something the matter?
Madelyne: Just exactly who are these people, and what the blazes have you gotten me into?!
- From one of Longshot's earliest appearances, there's the... uh, "effect" he has on some of the X-Women. A teenaged Kitty swooning over him, complete with a massive bundle of love-hearts is perfectly normal. But the fact that Rogue is doing the same? Yeah...
- Spider-Man and the X-Men features an extract from the student handbook at the Jean Grey School.
Psylocke, Leering At
''Psylocke's training space/dojo/sauna is swept daily for peepholes, webcams, astral projections, scrying signatures, and farsight tracers. The punishment for placement of spying devices is to explain the situation to Professor Braddock in person.
- One time in Xtreme X-Men, when several X-Men teams gathered for a party, various team members start teasing Storm, until Kitty Pryde stands up:
Kitty: What are you doing? That's not Storm, I'm Storm! Someone must have switched our minds!
(all the gathered X-Men gape in silent horror)
Kitty and Storm: PSYCHE!
- To make a Blackbird trip go faster, Fantomex and Wolverine play 20 questions.
Fantomex: Are you alive?
Wolverine: No.
Fantomex: Are you a vegetable?
Wolverine: Yeah.
Fantomex: You’re beer.
Wolverine: ...damn.
Psylocke: You think beer is a vegetable?!
- Juggernaut teaming up with Black Knight, Conan, and Magik in a recent (as of this writing) issue of Conan's current series to fight an Asgardian dragon. His part of the fight involved Magik teleporting him high into the air so he could land on the beast. The entire time he was falling, he was singing the theme song to The Greatest American Hero.
- When Nightcrawler guest-stared in an issue of Crystar, Crystal Warrior, he is accidentally sent to Crystar's magical realm of Crystallium — specifically, to the bad guys' headquarters, in a volcano. They assume he's an actual demon, sent by their mystical boss, and bend over backwards to welcome him. Meanwhile, Kurt's reaction to the volcano is "Phew! Is that what brimstone smells like? No wonder my friends complain when I teleport!"
- Nate Grey being a dork is generally good for comedy value - for instance, in issue 32 of his solo series, he's going on a night out with the three girls who took him in, having found him starving and half-dead. Unwitting Chick Magnet that he is, he immediately starts getting attention - the barman nods down towards a curvy blonde woman, passing on a message from her openly propositioning him with an offer of 'breakfast'. Cue Nate waving with the most dorky grin imaginable, and one of the girls (who has a crush on Nate) going nuts.
Marita: How sweet. Why don't I start carvin' up the bacon right here an' -
Jam: Hold up, 'Rita, hold up!
Nate: *looks baffled*
Barman: *awkward* So... you new around here?
- Emma's making a grand speech to Kitty about joining the Hellfire Trading Company, talking about how it's such a great opportunity, she'll be helping mutants, etc, etc, but Kitty sees right through her.
Kitty: Ororo said no, didn't she?
Emma: Before I could finish my pitch - but darling, you will be grand! I think you will find other side benefits of a captaincy. You really must start to live a little. You're not a schoolteacher anymore.
Kitty: I know... I'm thinking about it.
Kitty: I remember.
Emma: You will ravish in red. Put yourself in my hands, you deserve it.
- Shortly afterwards, Kitty (who is unable to enter Krakoa) decides she wants to go fight the "aggro" humans who attacked Bobby with power dampening armor.
Kitty: [while drinking from a bottle of Canadian whiskey] I wanna fight some aggro humans! Iceman! Get in my boat!note A small sailboat
Bobby: Wait, we're going to fight in... that?
Kitty: [with her arm slung around Ororo's neck] Storm, when was the last time you went sailing? Bobby and I could use the wind at our backs.
Ororo: [amused] Kitten, does Logan know you're into his stash?
Kitty: Ororo. I. AM. The. Stash.
- In the first issue of Legion of X, we have a meeting between Storm, the newly crowned Queen of Mars, and Nightcrawler, where he teases her about her new role until she jokingly tells him to knock it off or she'll "shove a royal thunderbolt up his indigo ass", and his first meeting with Zsen, where the poor fellow is left completely flat-footed:
Nightcrawler: So it's Zsen, ja? You know, we were never formally introduced. I'm -
Zsen: - Nightcrawler, yes. Named for a worm. You're some sort of priest.
Nightcrawler: That's... I mean, it's complicated. I went throught the training, took the vows, but... it turned out to be this, I don't know, this crazy illusion, or... Anyway, it didn't stick. But going through all that, it has to mean something, or -
Zsen: These vows of yours. They include celibacy?
Nightcrawler: That's - um. That's one of the ones that didn't stick.
Zsen: Good. You're very pretty. Your skin reminds me of a lichen that grows on the battlefields of Amenth. We ought to fuck.note The actual word used in the comic is $%&#, but you take the meaning.
Nightcrawler: ...wuh.
- X-Force Vol 6 #32 reveals that the Shadow Room, X-Force's souped-up and more dangerous version of the Danger Room, has a program listed as Sexy Time that only Beast has access to.
- Legion of X #7 has Sinister and Doctor Nemesis insult each other's genius.
- It eventually leads to Sinister commenting on Doctor Nemesis's mutant ability and intellect.
"Mm, what's your mutation again, Nemesis? "Self-evolved intellect," wasn't it? So your uncanny ability is to always wanting to be cleverer that you actually are? Got it, got it. Bet that's not the only thing he self-evolves, if you know what I mean.
- New Mutants Vol 4 #33 has Destiny unknowingly quoting Yoda because of Mystique.
Destiny: Always in motion, the future is.
Escapade: Don't quote Yoda to me!
Destiny: Yoda? Raven told me a German philosopher said that.
- X-Terminators Vol 2 #3 has Boom-Boom fire her energy blasts from her boobs.
