Thanks, Matt!
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh yeah, some other funny lines:
Cap: Getting the Flying Monkeys joke.
and
On the SHIELD base: the guy playing Galaga.

Thor: He's adopted.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
It wasn't even Thor's "He's adopted," as much as the delivery, timing-wise. I don't remember the character getting anything close to that smart-assed in Thor.
And Cap was SO PROUD of getting the flying monkeys reference. Bless. I also loved the way he just wordlessly pulled out the $10 bill and handed it to Nick Fury.
Hulk punching Thor instantly reminded me of Angel punching Xander in -- was it "Enemies"?, where he pretended to be Angelus again to trick Faith and the mayor? I tried really hard to not look for Buffyverse-inspired moments, but that one just jumped out at me so hard.
And, honestly, I got the biggest kick out of Cap's delivery of "Hulk? Smash." Such a well-executed twist of the cliche.
Also? At the end, Tony's line -- was it "Nobody better have kissed me"? made me laugh for about 30 seconds. You can't tell me that wasn't Joss, fully aware of slashy fanfic.

The final post-credits scene? Funniest one since Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Holy crap, we laughed and laughed and laughed at that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I just got back from seeing Avengers. But I missed the second post-credit scene.
On my way home, my life of crime resulted in me being caught by a red-light camera. I was in a pissy mood when I got home, but seeing the final post-credit scene on YouTube just cracked me up so much I stopped caring about my soon-to-be ticket.

Off to see Avengers soon! I'm super excited! And holy heck! How did I not make the connection that Chris Hemsworth and Liam Hemsworth (Gale from Hunger Games) are brothers?!

We just got back from seeing The Avengers in IMAX 3D, I have to say the 3D was pretty good and not really in your face too much. We had a great time and even if the movie had sucked, the final post-credit scene would have made up for it. My son leaned over to me as the "The Avengers" title came up and said "Joss knows how to open a movie". He wanted to go see it again right away, so I have a feeling that we will be seeing it at least once if not twice more.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Spoiler alert: Phillip Island makes no appearance in this movie. Would it have been improved by the addition of penguins? I don't see why not!

Hee! The theater manager came into our theater after the fist credits scene and asked if we wanted to forward to the second scene. Everyone voted yes, and five seconds later, we were laughing like loons at the second scene! That movie was SO GOOD!
