The Marvel Cinematic Universe has a bit of a reputation for cringey lines, with plenty of awkward lines sprinkled throughout the esteemed franchise's history. The movies of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are known for their quips and jokes, which keep a generally lighter tone compared to many other superhero stories. Unfortunately, this razor's edge the scripts of the franchise walks can often be a double-edged sword, resulting in some painfully cringey dialogue.

In most cases, cringey MCU lines are failed attempts at comedy, with jokes that either don't land, don't fit the character saying them, are overly-reliant on dated pop culture, or have some uncomfortable implications that don't age well. In other rare cases, these lines might be a misguided, but genuine attempt to sound cool, only to fumble horrendously. While the MCU has plenty of great lines, not every line of dialogue in the series is a winner.
