With decades of comic books and stories to draw from, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has an almost unlimited well of inspiration for its movie franchise juggernaut. While not every story or thread can make it to the big screen, every once in a while, a sly reference to the comic book canon can be slipped into the movie as a nod to the fans. With the cultural influence Marvel Comics has had long before Iron Man introduced us to the shared universe, there are plenty of chances for references to Marvel’s reach into pop culture.
After ten years and over twenty movies under their belt, the inside jokes have built up. Inside jokes have been a staple of comics for years and have helped define Marvel. More than just little rewards to hardcore fans, they connect the universe together. Here’s some of the best hidden jokes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

[@slasher1725]

Lego marvel

[@prisonmike6871]

that would be hilarious

[@jessicashive3836]

That’d be epic

[@shinyhunterx4205]

The janitor is worthy. 😂😂😂

[@xanderodle2721]

Here's what we know: "The movie will start, and then it will end." -Jeremy Renner on Avengers: Endgame

[@runebuysse2855]

I so hope there will be a joke about that in Endgame

[@MrPAULONEAL]

There will also be a middle...

[@KMWeir]

If you’ve seen Endgame, you have to admit Jeremy Renner was damn awesome in it. I really liked him and Pepper too. Probably their best acting in the entire MCU.

[@ginacorderman4733]

Endgame is all ready out!

[@Khedaar]

@@KMWeir In the last fight when pepper and tony flew back on back and fired their lazors. One of the best scenes, it looks so epic

[@deanmaynard49]

I like Tony using funny names like Point Break, Grimace and Squidward

[@Knookah]

Dean Maynard don’t forget underoose

[@akuljamwal3085]

Manchurian Candidate

[@JustapErson]

The Squidward one was hilarious and surprising. One of my fav jokes.

[@legionaireb]

Gotta give the props to Tony Stank.

[@KMWeir]

‘Clench up Legolas’ -Tony to Hawkeye

[@jamesclark1001]

Red Skull is Herr Schmidt, which is German for Mr. Smith or Agent Smith.

[@Imperatrixxy]

Purely a coincidence, but definitely a funny one.

[@darkfalcon9]

How about that? 😲😃

[@ThePinkDragon]

good ;]

[@jimj251]

Deutscher?

[@vibhutikaul3836]

Oh my god!

[@heppycorbett5028]

What amuses me is that Liam Hemsworth auditioned for Thor before Chris. Chris got the part and then brother Luke got to play joke Thor. Poor Liam, it wasn't meant to be

[@Ethan-lq7bn]

14:24 did he say “Chris HELMSWORTH”????

[@shanewilcox3702]

Ethan E it sounds like it

[@sam-mk7zq]

Yes

[@D3sToD3s]

He should apologize.

[@thetimeprincess5463]

I thought i was the only who heard it

[@raven7955]

I noticed it too.

[@charlygirlmarie9643]

I love it when Iron Man references Doctor Who by telling Captain America to reverse the polarity

[@CrazyDrunkAsianMonkey]

Matt Damon also played an angel named Loki in the movie Dogma

[@cripplerick1]

Thats why i laughed so hard when he played Loki in a play in the movie thor: ragnarok lol

[@stephenfocosi7075]

Yep that's right, and the lines that Stan Lee says in the movie Captain Marvel are from his cameo in MALRATS.

[@stephenfocosi7075]

Another Kevin Smith movie as well.

[@MashedzFruitz]

Donald Glover from Community is also in Spider-Man homecoming

[@Neverinfamous27]

he is miles morales' uncle aka the prowler

[@ExhaustedHobbit]

More of an easter egg than a joke though.

[@_izzybelly]

the Asian one (i forgot his name) is also seen in end game

[@isolde70]

@@_izzybelly Ben Chang. And Shirley is in Endgame too.

[@daltonsmith9257]

Also, Joel McHale is in Spiderman 2 with Tobey Maguire

[@MARLEYDIDIT]

Matt Damon also played Loki in Kevin Smith's *Dogma* which is what makes that cameo so special. and Kevin Smith was referenced again in Captain Marvel when Stan Lee is reading the script for *Mallrats*

[@Papercut337]

“You won’t like me when I’m angry.” “I don’t like you now.” Gotta love Family Guy lol

[@Skrila2k]

How could you forget, 14:49 Matt Damon reference was because he was Loki in dogma!?!

[@polo-jt2jv]

Which is better Like for marvel Comment for D.C.

[@whitebeano6139]

Nionx lol what’s d.c lmao they are ass compared to marvel

[@aaronw4]

Expiry not In animations tv shows or comics tbh

[@Neverinfamous27]

@@aaronw4 absolutely CW DC shows make the DCEU look like a shitshow

[@GRIMLOCK07]

C'mon Nionx, you know what many will say in this regard: When it comes to Live-Action Movies, Marvel is the CLEAR Winner. And when it comes the Animated Shows & Animated Movies overall?? There is ABSOULUTELY no question who the winner is between the two. NONE. However, I will say I really enjoyed "Into the Spiderverse" late last year. And also, look at it this way, you designed your comment this way for a reason. *"Like for Marvel"* *"Comment for D.C."* Out of the two, which one takes more time to complete?? Click the Thumbs Up or Write a Comment?? Clicking the Thumbs Up only takes a moment (like barely a second or two). Making a comment can take several seconds or minutes.

[@invertedassassin1006]

Marvel wins in shared universe DC wins in all other place Still Dark knight considered As the best superhero movie of all time. movies like wonder woman,aquaman,shazam were absolutely fantastic.

[@BSJINTHEHOUSE420]

1. Thanos After Seeing The Far From Home Trailer

[@Blackguy275]

Thanks for the little rock, paper, scissor joke :)

[@deadpoolregeneratedegenera1683]

The “losing a limb in Phase Two” was something I already knew. I loved it!

[@civasuamid6621]

From the Endgame trailer: War Machine: what's up 'regular-sized' man? That's below the belt... literally

[@RAZTAKILLAH01]

I laughed myself 💀 on that one. Classic military humor. Hit your teammates below the belt. Always.

[@marshastewart929]

"WHY IS GAMORA" WAS IMPROVISED ?!?!? I LOVE IT

[@nubyy]

Amazing vid as always CBR! Like

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

The only hilarious thing about this sad effort is the way the narrator botches so many pronunciations.

[@markstenerson6851]

I'm convinced he does it to get the comments. Either that or he's had a head injury.

[@SoulKingFan]

5:18 "he smashes things real good" XD😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'M DYING OF LAUGHTER right NOW

[@Sans-ji1mb]

Immature

[@theeredh00d9]

I just rewatched Cpt America & Winter Soldier, was noticing the same thing about Bucky. He uses Cap’s shield in all the movies, I think he does in Civil War at some point. When Chris leaves it’ll be Sebastian if he’s down.

[@matthewlacey4198]

He does in the 2v1 against tony at the end in siberia

[@theeredh00d9]

Matthew Lacey that’s what I was thinking, it’s been awhile since ive seen it. They do like to foreshadow things in the MCU, and I think it would work.

[@4G64SicKShoT]

pretty sure bucky does become captain america after steve rodgers dies, which he was suppose to after civil war, taken into custody and then assassinated by red skull

[@JustapErson]

They call him White Wolf in Black Panther though, who is another character (I think).

[@lyonspell]

@@JustapErson Well, White Wolf is a completely different character in the Black Panther comics, he is an adopted son of the king...

[@MashedzFruitz]

And there’s another Easter egg where iron man calls Thor Point Break and it’s the password to the ship in Thor 3

[@DoraGuta]

It's not "Wa-titty" 😂😂😂 it's pronounced "Wai-ti-ti"

[@mattdickie4696]

If you're not used to the Maori language, an 'easy' way to pronounce it is by saying Why-tea-tea.

[@giankie_507]

It's levi-OSSSA. Not Leviosá.

[@stevea2085]

He also doesn't know how to say Mjolnir.

[@3rdplace345]

Its Watitty to me

[@dcaccavo1]

@@stevea2085 "Miu-miu!"

[@williamrichardson2344]

thank you Stan Lee for showing me what it means to be a hero and a good person ....R.I.P. and thank you again !!!

[@christownley5757]

I don’t like being “that guy”, but the song at the beginning of Iron Man is actually Back In Black by AC/DC. The end of the movie played The Iron Man song just after Tony’s announcement.

[@deaddead698]

This is an Easter egg vid. Quite a few things in this list aren’t inside jokes

[@ThisValiantAdventure]

Tony Stark was not introduced into the MCU with “I Am Ironman” playing. It was AC/DC’s “Back in Black”. Also, how are most of these “hilarious”? The Arrested Development entry was nice. But past that...

[@EmTom44]

3:55 he says in every movie in phase 2 then shows a clip from infinity war

[@charlietango261]

Another Arrested Development reference is the blue version of Tobias Funke in the Collector's collection.

[@Keell444]

He definitely said “Helmsworth” instead of Hemsworth, and Benadar instead of Benatar!!

[@shyannxg]

loved the other big lebowski reference in endgame where thor looked like jeff bridges character lol

[@robElenor92]

"fear nothing son of coul" Thor 1

[@LongShaynx]

"I AM SAM" "SAM I AM" "WOULD YOU LIKE GREEN EGGS AND HAM?"

[@debrajenkins1622]

I loved that Stan was loving his cameo's🙌

[@benjaminmorris4962]

You know you're the GOAT when you get a cameo in a rival company's show

[@harrisonleadbeater9078]

[@Faze_sped]

5:16 all we got to do is ask Romanoff for proof

[@akuljamwal3085]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@urghastgaming1161]

how did you not mention in civil war spiderman asks if iron man has seen empire strikes back

[@TimIsTryng]

Literally none of these are jokes

[@RedRum.]

U literally don't know the definition of a joke

[@mystmatt]

or hilarious

[@bradleyblake7588]

I agree, if anything they're "easter eggs. "

[@luxcifer4739]

Nods or easter eggs yup

[@G3-7162]

New rockstars. . . but not as good

[@bismoyjahan4256]

Cool! Cool cool cool! - loved the Peralta reference!

[@IgotYoBAC]

When Thor says "What do you think is surging through my veins?" War Machine... "Cheese Whiz" lol

[@notreallychiangkai-shek]

That is so weird that there would be a stair truck at an airport.

[@arjun5813]

Stan Lee will always be a Legend.

[@hoomanbeing6254]

*these are basically easter eggs, they're barely jokes, lmao*

[@oleyella72]

Awesome video!!!

[@missangel1989]

Just wait until you see Endgame. It was amazing. Lots of laughs and tears. I saw it yesterday (24th April) as I live in Australia

[@awkwardnobody6628]

Rahnie Singh :) I’m going to see it on the 27th since I live in England, I’m so exited.

[@KMWeir]

It was incredible. I’m still processing it. I saw it Thursday night here in the US. So many unexpected things! Great humor, some tears and true avenging.

[@awkwardnobody6628]

Kim Weir Your right it was great... *MY DEPRESSION IS CURED*

[@Crasho327]

One other inside joke about Thor: Ragnarok is that Matt Damon playing Loki in the play is a call back to when he played Loki in "Dogma".

[@AndrewViett]

Can't believe nobody made a Poppa Doc joke about Mackie yet

[@njords62]

"Hilarious" ? Easter eggs eggs certainly but "Hilarious"?

[@cyberhawk80]

the big lebowski was hilarious.. but indeed this compilation isnt..

[@brooklynchase-ethington6483]

njords62 that’s what I was thinking

[@ginacorderman4733]

I love Easter eggs they hint the future of upcoming movies!

[@siliziwencanywa1138]

Another hidden joke for me is Dr. Strange's "whiplash" effect on Thor in Ragnarok, which is why Quiksilver held Magneto's neck in place before breaking him out in Days of Future Past...

[@JKat94]

also how good is days of future past? that's a great movie

[@gamergregpro2777]

How about the one in ragnorak when Thor is getting tossed around by hulk and Loki said see how it feels nodding to avengers

[@rossav6158]

Nothing left to chance. They studied every single detail.

[@Itzbandeto]

Ok.... this is the best group of catches so far. I thought I'd be mad but...

[@Longlivetheoutcasts]

5:16 that barely audible moan Loki lets out is pricelessly hilarious #LOL #a113

[@missylou0521]

thrangar andoron we didn’t even hear it in the theater cause everyone was laughing so hard

[@This_is_Finn]

Great video

[@khaitranngoc4176]

That's the Iron Man callback we all misses, not Cheeseburger, not I am Iron Man, it is Mr.Lebowski.

[@Aceroxx02]

CBR, you completely missed the point of Matt Damon playing Loki. One word. DOGMA. You're welcome.

[@nikkiclark8123]

I LOVE the nod to the Big Lebowski in Endgame ;)

[@dracula66vlad13]

"...Most Hilarious..." I didn't even smile.

[@princessc.j.6192]

These r always amazing to watch

[@nicolanmakeveli21moodley72]

Matt Damon was the first Loki ! Where my Kevin Smith fans at

[@michaelaforeman3393]

You missed the connection that Matt Damon played loki in the musical because in Kevin Smith's movie Dogma, Matt Damon plays the god Loki in that movie.

[@lizzieroll3804]

erm hate to break it to you but tony stark enters on back in black from acdc not iron man.

[@OnionKnightRises]

Yeah, the song Iron Man only gets played at the end credits if I remember correctly, AC/DC had more of a song presence, which is why there were so many shirts with both AC/DC and Iron Man on them back then

[@jestbone89]

Lebowski is also name dropped in Endgame.

[@loganbyrne3054]

Obadiah Stane also made another reference in Iron Man. He mentioned legacy, hence his part in Tron Legacy.

[@Heavenly-Drakian]

12:00 when thors hammer lands in the new mexico desert with an enchantment to make sure no one *UNWORTHY* picks it up..."

[@Jamie_Winsh]

Isn't it cool how the creators of these marvel movies are so deteticated they take the time to not only put these Easter eggs in but to understand them enough to make sure they're accurate

[@ocomic9131]

Garret Morris could’ve had Stan Lee in the back like, “What?” as if it was a taxi or Uber.

[@CaptChrispy]

I wonder whether Garrett Morris' "What the hell?!" was supposed to be a nod you Terminator

[@anjadutton5782]

What's with the way he said Taika Waititi?????? The Kiwis are ashamed dude

[@jedislap8726]

CBR: For when you prefer your T's to sound like D's.

Most of these aren't really jokes so much as fun facts. Still, it's nice to know. Thanks for sharing!

[@LegioAtWill]

when matt damon played loki in dogma and loki in ragnorak

[@beauxr.benoit1374]

Rock, paper, scissors, very subtle but still pretty good. Benetar's "Shadows in the Night" is her best song. Tom Cruise as Superior Iron Man. Jokes? No, but they are pretty good references.

[@londonTX]

At 15:16 it made think back to the video with MCU improvised lines and you said Tony didn't offer Cap any blueberries, well I'm here to give you the bad news. Lol

[@johnpugh3457]

My favorite hidden joke is my dad, still can't find him... 😭

[@victorpena5217]

Don't forget Matt Damon also played Loki in Dogma, making his cameo a bit of a nod to Kevin Smith's view askewniverse as well.

[@babarm]

Sam Jackson saying Modafoka at the end after Thanos snaps his fingers.. ode to Pulp Fiction

[@dcaccavo1]

The big reference to Pulp Fiction was Fury's fake gravestone!

[@dravenlei1870]

19 you forgot to mention that Matt Damon playing Loki is not the first time he's played Loki as that was his character in Kevin Smith's Dogma which i was only recently reminded of when he cameo'd as Loki for the Jay and Silent Bob Reboot.

[@Silverfox89777]

11:58 wait? what? Making sure no one *worthy* of it's power picks it up. don't you mean *unworthy* , I'm so confused

[@nickbutter1913]

Read every interview. I've only watched 10 seconds into the video that's my favorite part

[@kimflycht2258]

Aaaa what!!!! Urinebox???????!!!!! Good one!!!

[@mendelgeisinsky3225]

You mentioned the Dr. Blake reference for Thor, who slams his cane to become his Hammer, and thereby Thor. When Thor meets his sister, he slams his umbrella into the ground, for him to "become" Thor, in his uniform and hammer.

[@peteroleary8964]

I think one of the funniest subtle jokes is when Colonel Phillips brings Dr. Arnim Zola dinner once he's been captured. If you're wise to the reference of "meat and two veg", you'd've cracked up laughing. What's funnier is when TLJ then proceeds to eat it himself....!!!!

[@shsfusion1187]

Imagine if cap said "flame on" in avengers endgame

[@13strong]

You missed actor Sam Neill playing Odin in the Loki's theatre production. Sam Neill is a Taika Waititi film alumni.

[@dabnailz5805]

yo i love what we do in the shadows. its hilarious

[@curtismadrid2480]

The "Land of enchantment-Jouney into Mystery" is a combination of NM's slogan "The Land of Enchantment" (where most of the movie was filmed) and the "Journey into Mystery" comic title.

[@tranz2deep]

One more in-joke about Bixby's line; when assured by Captain America that approaching an armored giant serpent would be a good time to get angry, he just smirked and replied, "That's my secret, Captain; I'm always angry." before transforming in the space of half a second and hitting the serpent in the face so hard its armor came off.

[@flavoredrice5273]

You see A113 in almost Every Pixar movie if you look close enough
