A fan from the make a wish foundation came up with “He’s a friend from work” from Thor Ragnarok
The Ending Spell Scene,and the "I Love You Guys" in No Way Home, "Nick Fury tries to talk some sense into Spidey" in Far From Home, and "Spidey's final words" in Infinity War, but yeah I would definitely have to go with the "I am Iron Man" from the first Iron Man movie.
Hands down, Drax IS the funniest character.
yas of cruse only movies that's good
#1 That is the greatest FU line in movie history🤣
Loki's smirk in Ragnarok during the Snake story was 100% real, Hiddleston couldn't help it because he found Hemsworth's story and delivery so funny
The caricature impression of Hiddlestone as Loki via Hemsworth as Thor was really clever, it kind of referenced the fight scene at the end of the first Thor movie so it was like Hemsworth taking the piss of a bit of Hiddlestone overacting, a little friendly burn if you like.
One can't help but wonder if it inspired the writers of "Loki" to make kid Loki's nexus event that he killed Thor.
Every time I see the directors face I can’t not think of him with a hammer destroying servers in a Tsunami building I swear
Oh damn you were there?
@@MrnicegreenguyMe too! I stared at him for a moment and then was like… no way! Now I can’t stop thinking of him as some mean jerk who wanted to destroy someone’s life…😅 oops.
“Why is Gamora” is easily the best joke in the MCU. Drax, desperately trying to fit in with humans, almost gets there but not quite. And then says something unintentionally profound. That it’s ad-libbed adds to the mystique
Sometimes it takes an idiot to notice the obvious. :P
I literally fell off the bed laughing at this
Drax surprisingly is one of the best characters
We take ass. And kick names. 🥸
Yea man Drax is funny in the comics but Batista takes him to another level
Not only did Robert Downey Jr. turn his life around in an amazing way, he basically jump started the entire MCU.
Who are we kidding, Rob IS the MCU. Apart from the great work with Spider-man, the success is debatable after Endgame.
@@dawnfallon6812phase 4 has been.. lukewarm to say the least, but i feel like quantummania and guardians of the galaxy will definitely be heavy hitters for phase 5
@@lumapop8245 boy were you wrong about quantumania
@@lumapop8245 Ant-man Quantummainia was ok, guardians 3 was great it delved more into rockets past which was cool I spose but both were good
It was such a great movie and you got it completely right. Ironman was the test and it made people believe.
I remember watching Infinity War in theaters and during the snap there were some reactions to various characters being dusted, and as soon as we heard "Mr Stark?" the ENTIRE theater went silent.
ugh chills
Still feel the chills everytime I watch infinity war and that scene hits
That hit harder than my parents with the belt
You forgot to mention the best part about "I don't wanna' go." Originally, the script just had Pete randomly start dissolving like every other character that was "snapped." But Tom thought "Wait, Spidey has his Spidey sense...shouldn't he feel it coming?" so he approached the director about it, and THAT ENTIRE SCENE was improvised in.
oh wow that makes it even more painful
Oh. He knew he was about to die. God that must be terrifying.
BRO THATS AMAZING
love how the 3 spidermen just embodies the stereotypical siblings and in their order and andrew really nailed the middle child thing
The one I find the most mind blowing is that Paul Bettany and Elizabeth Olsen ad-libbed their scene at the end of Infinity War. The rest are one liners or quick add-ons but the Vision/Wanda scene is so heartwrenching and emotional. Props to Bettany and Olsen for doing that completely off the cuff and really shows how into their characters they were.
Haha... mind blowing 😅
They’re both pretty amazing
Olsen's lip quiver & face... WOW
well considering it would be immediately retcon why not give it your all. Or tell the actors to give it there all. sadly that scene is overshadowed greatly by thanos reversing time and then killing him again lol not that was EPIC.
@@Neog2 they work so well together too. The fact that it was so heartwrenching and emotional all for it to just be undone adds to the devastation. Like it was such a noble sacrifice for both of them and they conveyed it so well on the fly and the, poof, all for nothing.
"he's a friend from work" is the best line in Thor Ragnarok. Hands down. I still laugh when I see it 😂
A kid made him say it lol
@@DHRFC how's that 3rd 👁️ going ? 😂
@@DHRFC I know it's great that a make a wish came up with that line. That's truly AWESOME
@@dolphinsfan3245 I know
This movie is on my top 5 Marvel movies
The "Why is Gamora" is the funniest scene of Marvel
Everyone laughed in the theaters laughed
@@Die-Angst trying to be clever are you? It isn’t working.
@@Die-Angst I misspelled sorry.
I'd say the face peter Parker pulls when quill says yeah we know thor tall not that good looking. Is the funniest moment from that scene
Bruhh Draxx is the funniest Thing in Marvel 😩 his laugh Make me laugh Everytime.
The unhinged chaos that was Thor: Ragnarok will always hold a special place in my heart.
I love when Thor is dangling from the chain and is just slowly spinning around talking to Surtur
That "Liar" improv at #10 is massively underrated. In a movie full of incredible moments, that one still managed to stand out to me, and I always remember it because the delivery sounded so genuine and emotional.
To me, it rivals "I am Iron Man" from the end of Iron Man but falls just short.
Frankly I never even noticed he called him that.
@@coladict watch it again it's a quick stab at Steve for sure but now you know it's there it should stand out and it's a powerful word in the arguement
I hope the kid who came up with "He's a friend from work." got screenwriters credit. It was that good. :)
I KNEW the “I love you guys” line from No Way Home was improvised! I always felt like Andrew Garfield’s delivery of that line was way too real and it legit got me a little choked up the first time I heard it.
I love that the 'he's a friend from work' line came from a make-a-wish kid. Something really special about that.
Actually, Thor Hanging Mjolnir on that Coat Rack Sparked this Whole Debate Online That Raised the Final Question, "Was the Coat Rack WORTHY?"
It’s an inanimate object. Just like a table or floor. This kind of debate should only be brought up with plants like hanging the hammer on a tree branch.
@@thezx5795It was a joke bro
Something in the lines of "if you place Mjolnir in the elevator and the elevator goes up? The elevator is worthy"
Obviously, YES. Coat hooks are incredibly worthy.
Good thing they didn't get the coat rack from Wish.
“Superhero landing. She’s gonna do a superhero landing. Wait for it! Superhero landing! You know, that’s really hard on your knees. Totally impractical, they all do it.”-deapool
The hulk too?
In the Avengers 2012, RDJ got super hungry while filming and he secretly stashed food everywhere, so the part where he offered a blueberry to Captain America wasn't in the script and the film makers haven't found any food
Apparently Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) was the same way and the costumers literally had to sew the pockets in his robes shut so that he couldn't sneak food around the set.
@survivordave "Oh hello there, Potter." (Takes bite of apple)
@@soulofflame9999 i think you mean "pottah"
“He wiped my face with a planet while the bleaker st magician gave away the stone”😂😂😂😂😂😂
The "who told you that?!..." still kills me!! I love RDJ so much as Iron Man, perfect casting!
Bleecker Street.
"why is GAMORA" was the best... but " Snake story" was also amazing
Drax was just funny xD especially with "i have sensitive nipples"
This list is awesome. It reminded me why I love the MCU so much. It makes me want to go back and watch it all over again. It's crazy to think how it all started with iron man and all these years later we are in the multiverse. Sad to see some characters leave the MCU. But grateful for the time we got with them
Do it! watch them all again lol
I usually skip the first Captain America movie and the two Thor movies before Ragnarok, but I absolutely love watching the rest of the MCU movies. I cannot imagine them getting better than this current cast, but I have total faith in Feige and the team they have to continue this mammoth undertaking. I’m sad to see some go, but I’m excited to see where this leads!
@@Linaskye143 I’ve seen almost all of the movies, but when I tried to watch the first Captain America, I was physically exhausted and accidentally slept through the entire thing 😅
@@jsjp822 You ain’t missin much.
Taika Waititi’s directing style: “Okay, here’s how the movie ends…work the rest out amongst yourselves”
"nothing goes over my head, my reflexes are too fast I would catch it"
I'm gonna die surrounded by the biggest idiots in the galaxy.
Samuel L. Jackson deserves credit for coming up with the quick peek under the sheet, for sure; but it wouldn't have worked nearly as well without Ben Mendelsson falling in with it perfectly, mirroring the movement. Excellent timing between two excellent actors!
I believe that the MCU up to Avengers: Endgame was the golden age of Marvel. It was a mammoth project, so well stitched together with decades of amazing storytelling and awesome characters. A large part of the characters' awesomeness, was humanizing ad libs like these above. Good catch, WatchMojo!
I can't agree less. It had the whole world standing on its toes. Now, it is like an era has passed.
The "I am Ironman" has to be one of the most important lines from all the MCU and you're telling me it was improvised? That's unbelievable.
It accumulated the apex if MCU and also signaled the bmens of it. After that MCU go to suck age.
The "I am Iron Man" line is even more iconic because it wasn't in the original script for Endgame either. It was the editor who suggested to the Russo's to add it in so it had to be filmed during pick ups. So odd to imagine the film without it now.
When Tom Holland said that line, I literally had tears running down my cheeks, it still breaks my heart.
Wanna cry even harder? The reason it took Spidey so long to dust is because he has a healing factor that was fighting it.
exactly same here
Ditto
The famous bookend call back of Tony saying "And.... I am Iron Man" in Endgame was actually only later thought of after filming was done and quickly reshot. Originally Tony just did the snap and was done but months later during editing they realized it was far too anti climatic for such an iconic character especially one who was so famous for his brilliant quips to go out like that. The editor Jeff Ford was the one who suggested the idea of having Tony go out like a total boss in further sealing in his victory over Thanos by trumping his twice repeated " I am inevitable" line with his own now famous last line from the first film. Robert Downey JR. actually didn't want to go back and reshoot the scene as he understandably didn't want to go through the painful emotions of filming that scene yet again. Over an arranged dinner they convinced him to be true to the character by letting him go out properly and redo the scene. They even gave him leeway in trying out other improvised lines during the reshoot including " You Are So F***ed !" but none worked or resonated like the call back did to end Tony's character arc so it was the one they used.
Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parker: “Wait, wait, wait! I love you, guys…” Both Tom Holland’s Peter Parker and Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker: “Thank you.” Me: 🙂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Which made the incredulous look on the other 2 spidey's faces so awesome...lol
i can't believe the other 2 managed to say "thank you" in unison in response to an ad-libbed line!
Star-Lord: "I'm gonna ask you this one time: where is Gamora?" Iron Man: "Yeah, I'll do you one better; who is Gamora?" Drax: "I'll do you one better; why is Gamora?"
Me: no I’ll do you one better what is gomora!
Huh,gamora???
@@michaelnally2841 me: HOW IS GAMORA?
I'll do you one better: how much is Gamora?
I do you one better If a Gamora
"Why is Gamora" is simply one of the best movie scenes... E V E R ...
I take it you haven't seen a lot of movies then
One of the Great Unanswered Questions of the MCU.
Get Help is one of the funniest jokes in Ragnarok 😂😂 They even make an easter egg to that in Loki, when the Loki's end up turning on each other and they all brawl. When Classic Loki makes copies of the main Loki Gang so they can escape, Kid Loki and Alligator Loki do Get Help, with Kid Loki chucking Alligator Loki at one of their variants 😂😂
The first time Tony said, “I am Iron Man”, didn’t sound enough like Black Sabbath so he said it better the second time because Tony learns from his mistakes.
YEP, I don't know/remember if the song actually played in the scene.. but it damn sure did in my head.🤘👹🤘
@@thomaseagen4729 sadly it didn't.
I see what you did there
“Why is Gamora” is my favorite. Dave Batista is a legend. Love Drax
Another one from Doctor Strange. Christine reaction to the broom falling was improvised, as it literally fell while they were shooting.
The moment Hulk enters the ring with Thor and Thor is excited... Hemsworth is so legitimate I literally feel so secondhand excitement every time & want to shout out. Love love love that scene.
Thor’s banishment scene in the first movie is complete improv and some of the best acting I think I’ve ever seen. To see the split between an angry king but remorseful father was so powerful.
The MCU never fails to make us laugh in those moments alone, along with some kick ass action set pieces, etc.
The nice thing about No Way Home was that they took all the great brilliant things from each different portrayal and left the things people complained about behind. So they got the best of each different Spiderman.
"He's a friend from work!" Still makes me laugh every time I see it, and I've seen it everywhere on the internet dozens of times.
@@Die-Angst NOT LITERALLY
@@Die-Angst I’m going to tell you something absolutely unbelievable: SOMETIMES PEOPLE DO A LITTLE THING CALLED EXAGGERATING. Stop ruining these peoples comments with your insufferable realism.
In Capt marvel, when looking at rhe skull, Sam L didn't make that scene. The actor next to him did with the little duck down to look. It's especially funny since the character is also a skull.
*sigh* it's skrull
"let's warn them about spoilers. What scene do we use for it?" "How about a scene from the most recent Spiderman movie, where you see all three Spiderman, which was tried to be kept secret for so long since it's a big reveal in the movie?" "Perfect."
i know right
They did open with saying there would be spoilers. As the always do.
Spider-Man’s response to the snap would have been terrifying. His spidey sense would be going nuts.
Andrew garlfield when he repeats Peter 3 in the huddle has to be improvised. In the behind the scenes of that scene he has Holland in hysterical laughter and his line was different to what we saw. In that 5 minute period where its just the 3 of them he stole the show and for me legitimised my 9 year opinion.. he is the best spiderman
He is the best actor, he just got the worst movies of the three.
Wasn’t Jeremy Renner’s “quick little bastard” rant about Pietro in AoU an ad-lib? I love that one!
Yes, it was XD The little story rant about him saying Pietro was "accidentally shot" and just making up shit as he was running off XD
@@vgmaster02 "no no the last time I saw him an Ultron was sitting on him..." 😂😂
I love the fact that Robert's eyes shift from the reporters to the camera to tell *us*, the cinema audience, that he is Iron Man.
Taika Waititi encouraging improv is a gift that keeps on giving and it gave us the best reimagining of the sick man routine ever
Thor: Ragnarok is the only Marvel movie I saw alone in theaters. Couldn’t stop laughing. Honestly didn’t know some of the lines were improvised
Tony hugging Peter after losing him is so heartwarming
After?
@@soulofflame9999 I’m referencing when peter though he hugged him in homecoming. Tony then lost Peter in Infinity War. Then in Endgame the first thing he did was hug him.
@@kendellraestroughter824 Ohhhhh. Sorry.
I had no idea that line was from a kid in Make-A-Wish foundation. I may not know who the kid is but I thank the kid for having Thor say that.
Already a better writer than all of MsheU. If he didn't die, they should hire him.
The unscripted MCU movie moments that made it into the top 5 on this list will always be the best.
A COAT RACK IS *NOT* WORTHY!! I heard complaints about Dave Bautista playing Drax before "Guardians of the Galaxy" came out. Apparently, some people hated him from professional wrestling. But, Bautista has proven he has fantastic comedic skills and no one can replace him in the role.
People really underestimate how much more difficult being "the straight man" in a comedic group is, and he does it phenomenally.
He is perfect as Drax
17:41 props to the camera guy for pointing the camera at Dave
The adlib that immediately came to mind, and which you guys completely missed, is Rocket's "five jackasses standing in a circle" from the original GotG.
"I am Iron Man" this one hit different from all of them, even though you heard it million times. 🖤♥
‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ made 1.889 billion globally indeed.
Without China
I can tell you the absolute best improvised scene in movie history. I'VE GOT A JAR OF DIRT
Yes it absolutely was the best because it's Captain Jack Sparrow.
RDJ sounds like an excited little kid trying to hold it when when he says, "Please be a secret passage; please be a secret passage...yay."
when i first learned that nebula's actor was the same actor for amy pond in doctor who i didn't believe it
I just learned that, I'm still shocked. I had no idea at all.
MCU Peter Parker/Spider-Man (16-years old): “Mr. Stark…. I don’t feel so good…” Me: That scene made 10 million-plus MCU fans, including myself devastated back in mid 2018.
In the original Norse mythology Thor was supposed to fight a snake at ragnarok
Wong's rise from a humble librarian to Sorcerer Supreme is the most underrated arc in the MCU.
And then madysynn, or however the hell it's spelled
that Get Help scene was so hilarious.
Let's just take a moment to acknowledge the fact that the MCU will never be the same without Robert Downey Jr.
he's actually the only reason i watched any of them. i'd had zero interest in them for all those years, then watched 'spider man coming home' and thought the relationship between spider-man and tony starks was so great that i had to watch the whole thing from the start. i ended up watching about 2/3rds of the entire thing in about a month (and fried my brain in the process). TBH, now they seem to have put full stops on the 2 things i liked best - iron man and gaurdians of the galaxy - i probably won't be interested any more.
I never knew Tony's infamous "I am Iron Man" line was improvised. Definitely gotta share that fun fact with my dad next time we watch it. :D
The Make-A-Wish kid deserves a writing credit. His line basically BECAME the freakin advertising for that film.
When good actors improvise their scenes, their skills really show
Everything else dissipates but the "why is Gamora" Lives on deep in our memories
“I don’t want to go” was also spoken by The 10th Doctor 🧑🏻⚕️ in Doctor Who during regeneration
Downey played his role to the max in Endgame. He made me cry so many times!
One of my favorite Ragnarok lines is when he's asking Stan lee to not cut his hair xD
The 3 Spider-mans all meeting was probably the single best decision ever made by marvel studios. Also, I'd be confident in saying that improv through the titles is probably what made most of these movies great.
Gotta ❤️ the MCU franchise.
@@Die-Angst it's a mixed bag for me.
i did my own version of the get help scene with a friend in a youtube video and it remains our favorite moment ever
Thor is awesome, Chris Hemsworth really does the character justice, his comedic timing is perfect, definitely one of my favourites, absolutely brilliant😆⚡⚒️
Damn it, I went from Laughing to crying hysterically, Back to laughing Even harder (After seeing all these movies in theater) Thank you 😊
Looking forward to Robert Downey Jr and Johnny Depp working together in a new Sherlock Holmes. I hope it happens.
Dave Bautista improvised the "Why is Gamora?" line?! No way!!! Dude got in one of the funniest lines ever in a MCU movie.
When Thor is getting smashed around by the Hulk and Loki's like "Yesssssss! That's what it feels like" is the best.
I will never get over seeing Tobey maguire Tom holland and Andrew Garfield in Spider-Man suits on screen together 😩😩😩
Casting, Continuity, & Call backs. The best Cinematic Universe. #MCU
“Please be a secret door please be a secret door please be a secret door” *opens* “yay”
Awesome, had so much fun while watching it.
The "Bitch please, You've been to Space!" was a mixture of motivation, mockery, jealousy and who knows what else😂😂
Tom Holland’s acting in that scene in Infinity War was so good and heartbreaking, it really felt like a kid dying before their parent’s eyes
Hayley had trouble believing his muscles were real- you and me both 😂
"No one can lift the hammer" Coat hanger:😂
If Wong and strange ever formed a band in real life they could call themselves eggs Benedict😂😂😂
I love Yolana. She's hilarious, her accent really sells her "sly, badass, assassin, bitter younger sister" vibe
Thanos: "I am... Inevitable" Tony: "And I... am... Iron Man"
Which, apparently, also wasn't in the original script. Several people stated originally Tony said nothing. Then reshot it when someone suggested the line.
Marvel wanted to keep Iron Man's identity a secret, and other heroes to. RDJ really changed everything
Drax's lines are always gold.
Yelena when she does Nat's pose and says that was disgusting is my favourite scene in the movie
Fury wasn't in Far from home. It was a Skrull shape-shifter.
I'm not the only one who thought it, "Whatever THOR, hang the hammer on the wall... nobody's gunna just creep in and steal it" LOL 😆
While I do like RDJ's interpretation of the Iron Man the first place here isn't much of an improvisation, It was RDJ's way of bringing the movie closer to the animation/comic. "I am Iron Man!" is literately the sound track of the intro of the animation. Good for him!
Amazing work 👍🏻
Thanks a lot 😊
"... the middle of outer space." Well, that's specific.
The dusting scene in Infinity War gave me nightmares
