8. Guardians Of The Galaxy - Baby Groot

Not every great post-credits scene in the MCU has to be full of weight or important teases for upcoming sequels - at least one of them is no more than a gag and it's absolutely glorious.

After killing himself to save his fellow Guardians in the battle of Xandar, Groot returns from the dead in the best way, as a potted twig who is immediately reborn with even more charm. As Peter Quill's tape deck plays The Jackson Five's "I Want You Back," the new Baby Groot dances until Drax looks at him, which prompts him to freeze.

That's the start and end of it, but it's still one of the most infectious scenes in the MCU, though it should be tinged slightly in hindsight by the revelation that this was in fact a brand new Groot and the old one was legitimately dead.
