2. Rocket And Groot Werent Harmed - Guardians Of The Galaxy
A bit like Mr Poppers Penguins Jim-Carrey-getting-pecked-persistently gag, James Gunns spacefaring superhero movie Guardians Of The Galaxy also had fun with the typical no animals were harmed tag that weve grown accustomed to seeing at the end of movies with lots of animal cast members. Gunn seemed keen to mention in his closing credit that No raccoons or tree creatures were harmed during the making of this film, clearly lampooning the usual credits cliché by referring back to his fictitious unearthly creature characters Rocket Racoon and Groot. Again, the key here is in this jokey Easter Eggs simplicity. As well as the inevitable post-credits sting, Gunn's Marvel Studios movie also threw in this short-but-sweet joke to reward those with the patience to wait through the entire credits. It was only one brief sentence long, but it still raised a chuckle.
