More of a collection of small moments than a single moment, but Paul Rudd's Ant-Man/Scott Lang is a real scene-stealer in his short but sweet appearance.

Starting with his meeting with Cap, Scott is starstruck by the famous hero who is just excited to be considered a part of the team. From his line "I'm shaking your hand too long" to his inability to resist touching Cap's biceps, Scott comes off as a real fanboy. Then when the fighting starts he provides even more laughs. After throwing an exploding truck at War Machine he apologetically explains, "I thought it was a water truck". And when he sneaks into Iron Man's armor and announces "This is your conscience. We haven't talked in a while".

The really BIG laughs (pun intended) come when he shows off his new Giant-Man form. He pumps himself up with a mantra, "I'm the boss. I'm the boss. I'm the boss" and when he realizes it worked he lets out a booming, ecstatic laugh. It's moments like this that cement Rudd as a welcome addition to the MCU.
