10 Jokes In Old Superhero Movies They Wouldn't Get Away With Now

5. Bonesaw's Husband

The Mask
Columbia Pictures

In the first of many... MANY... attempts at a Spider-Man franchise, the webslinger tries to make some money with his newfound abilities as a pro wrestler. But when he stumbles into a CZW Cage of Death situation with the intimidating Bonesaw, he's in over his head.

So, naturally, he turns to the gift of gab to wrong-foot his opponent. It's a classic Spidey trait, and when executed well, makes him both funnier and more likable.

Unfortunately, in this case, he comes off less as your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and more as a massive homophobic tool when he comments on Bonesaw's "cute outfit" and asks, "Did your husband give it to you?"

After a statement like that, it's hard to feel bad for Ol' Webhead when Bonesaw plasters him with a few stiff chair shots.
