Superman/Funny

Film

• In the first Christopher Reeve film, Superman is being interviewed by Lois Lane on her apartment balcony. Regarding his x-ray vision, she jokingly asks what color underwear she's wearing, only for him to reply that he can't tell because the planters she happens to be standing behind apparently have a high lead content. This was forgotten for a few moments, but after she walks away for a moment, he suddenly informs her that her underwear is pink. Cue her virtually teleporting back to the planters.
• "Superman, thank god... I mean, GET HIM!"
• Superman has just broken into Luthor's underground lair.

Lex Luthor: "Otis, take the gentleman's cape."
[Otis approaches Superman, who glares at him]
Otis: "I don't think he wants me to, Mr. Luthor."

• • Also Hackman's cavalier, ad-libbed "Come in, it's open" just before.
• "Otisburg? Otisburg? OTISBURG?!?!?!"
• "Something wrong with the elevator?"
• When Superman shows up during his opening night to save Air Force One when an engine blows out. The pilot's expression as he looks out the window, sees a guy in a cape holding up the wing, and tells the rest of the crew "Just fly. We got... something... I ain't saying what, just... trust me."
  • In fact, a lot of the reactions people have when Clark suits up for the first time:

Pimp: Say Jim, that is a BAD outfit! (Supes flies off) Whoa!
Desk Sergeant (finding a boat loaded with tied-up robbers on his doorstep with a caped hero flying into the night): First drink's on me, lemme go get my hat...

• "You know what? You're a real pain in the neck!"
• In the Reboot, here's this funny nugget that was, rather well received by the fanbase.

Lois Lane: Superman will-
Lex Luthor: "WRONG!!!"
