20 Most Ridiculous Moments In The Marvel Cinematic Universe

4. Shawarma - The Avengers

The Moment: After the Battle of New York is over, Tony suggests to The Avengers that they should go get some shawarma. The film's post-credits scene then shows the exhausted-looking heroes snacking on some shawarma in a joint around the corner, where the employees are hilariously still tidying up from the Chitauri attack.

Why It's Ridiculous: Much like the aforementioned Howard the Duck scene, this seems like a self-referential jab at the "importance" of these post-credits stingers, but at the same time it's not just some random, throwaway moment: it does tie into Tony's earlier comment and is pretty damn hilarious all the same.

For even more ridiculousness, the scene was actually shot two days after the movie's premiere (which was thankfully about two weeks before it hit most countries), and Chris Evans kept his hand resting on his chin for the entire 30-second shot because he was wearing a prosthetic device to cover the facial hair he'd grown to shoot Snowpiercer.
