Well, he did it again. James Gunn clearly knew he was onto a winner with Bautista's hilariously well-pitched performance, and basically decided to bless him with the majority of the best one-liners this time around.

From bragging about his "famously huge turds" to pretty much everything he says to Mantis (Pom Klementieff), the majority of Drax's quips hit the gut-busting mark, and even the brief serious character moments involving his murdered family work pretty well.
