From a Shakespearean warrior to a lovable goofball, Thor’s evolution in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has been one of the most entertaining transformations. Chris Hemsworth’s comedic timing, combined with Taika Waititi’s direction in Thor: Ragnarok and Thor: Love and Thunder, turned the Asgardian god into one of the franchise’s funniest heroes. Below, we break down his 11 most hilarious moments, ranked by fan reactions, meme potential, and sheer absurdity.
1. “ANOTHER!” – Thor Smashes a Coffee Mug (Thor, 2011)
Thor’s first trip to Earth in Thor (2011) was full of culture shock moments, but none were as funny as his reaction to coffee. After taking a sip, he smashes the mug on the floor and demands, “ANOTHER!” as if he’s in a Viking mead hall. The bewildered looks from the diner staff make this scene a classic fish-out-of-water moment.
“This drink—I like it! ANOTHER!”
This moment became so iconic that Marvel referenced it years later in Avengers: Endgame when Captain America mimics Thor’s voice.
2. “He’s Adopted” – Thor’s Deadpan Loki Joke (The Avengers, 2012)
When Black Widow tells Thor that Loki killed 80 people in two days, Thor initially defends him: “He’s my brother.” But after a dramatic pause, he casually adds, “He’s adopted.” The unexpected punchline turned this into one of the MCU’s most quoted lines.
Fans loved how Hemsworth’s delivery made the joke work—Thor wasn’t trying to be funny, which made it even better.
3. “Sun’s Getting Real Low” – Thor Fails to Calm the Hulk (Thor: Ragnarok, 2017)
In Thor: Ragnarok, Thor tries to replicate Black Widow’s famous Hulk-calming technique. He gently holds Hulk’s hand and whispers, “Sun’s getting real low,” with a confident smile.
Hulk’s response? Grabbing Thor and slamming him repeatedly into the ground. The sheer overconfidence and failure made this one of the film’s biggest laughs.
4. “He’s a Friend From Work!” – Thor Meets Hulk in the Arena (Thor: Ragnarok, 2017)
When Thor realizes the Grandmaster’s champion is Hulk, he doesn’t panic—he cheers. His excited yell, “He’s a friend from work!” turned a brutal fight into a hilarious reunion.
Fun fact: A Make-A-Wish child visiting the set suggested the line, and director Taika Waititi loved it so much he kept it in the movie.
5. “Get Help” – Thor’s Ridiculous Trick With Loki (Thor: Ragnarok, 2017)
Thor and Loki’s sibling dynamic peaked in Ragnarok, especially with the “Get Help” trick. Thor suddenly yells, “Get help! My brother’s dying!” before throwing Loki at enemies like a human projectile.
Loki’s disgusted reaction (“I hate it!”) makes this one of the funniest running gags in the MCU.
6. Thor’s Awkward Valkyrie Chat (Thor: Ragnarok, 2017)
When meeting Valkyrie, Thor tries to compliment her by saying:
“I used to want to be a Valkyrie when I was younger… until I found out you were all women.”
His rambling attempt to sound respectful backfires, making it one of his most cringe-funny moments.
7. Thor vs. NoobMaster69 (Avengers: Endgame, 2019)
Post-Infinity War, a depressed Thor spends his days playing Fortnite and drinking beer. When an online player named NoobMaster69 taunts Korg, Thor grabs the headset and roars:
“NoobMaster69, I am Thor, son of Odin! And if you do not log off immediately, I will fly to your house and come down to that basement you’re hiding in and rip off your arms and shove them up your butt!”
The absurdity of a god threatening a gamer made this scene an instant meme.
8. Stormbreaker Gets Jealous of Mjolnir (Thor: Love and Thunder, 2022)
In Love and Thunder, Thor tries to summon Mjolnir, but his current weapon, Stormbreaker, suddenly floats into frame, looking like a jealous ex. The silent comedy of an axe having emotions was pure Taika Waititi humor.
9. The Asgardian Theater Group’s Terrible Acting (Thor: Ragnarok, 2017)
A group of Asgardian actors (including Matt Damon as Loki) performs a dramatic reenactment of Loki’s death. The overacting and cheap costumes make it one of the funniest MCU meta-jokes.
10. Thor’s Useless Disguise on Sakaar (Thor: Ragnarok, 2017)
To blend in on Sakaar, Thor drapes a tiny cloth over his shoulder and confidently declares, “This is my disguise.” The fact that he genuinely thinks it works makes it even funnier.
11. Thor and Star-Lord’s Leadership Fight (Avengers: Infinity War, 2018)
When Star-Lord tries to assert authority, Thor mocks him with exaggerated agreement:
“Yes, of course, you’re the boss. I’m just the strongest Avenger.”
The ego clash between them was comedy gold.
Thor’s humor has redefined his character, making him one of the MCU’s most beloved figures. From smashing mugs to fighting gamers, his funniest moments prove that even gods can be hilarious.
