Korg became an instant fan-favourite after debuting in Thor: Ragnarok, with actor-director Taika Waititi's unique comedic stylings making this hulking rock monster one of the funniest, most charming, and strangely relatable characters in the MCU.

Korg continued to bring the laughs in Avengers: Endgame, but arguably his funniest joke is one that many, many viewers won't have had a chance in hell of noticing.

That joke revolves around his pineapple-themed shirt, which - in an applause-worthy meta reference - is the same shirt worn by Waititi himself at Comic-Con 2017. The shirt became something of an internet icon after Waititi was photographed wearing it, and clearly, Endgame's filmmakers were aware of that fact.

Now of course, the only question is... who wore it better?
