Hulk Irritants

The central problem I had with getting into collecting Hulk comics or following the TV Series, or even the movies (although I will likely go see the new one anyway) is that the original character had to get angry to turn into the Hulk. Unfortunately, creativity can sometimes lead to inadvertantly hilarious scenarios.

This guy has compiled an apparent complete list of every way in which David Banner (in the TV Series -- Bruce in comics) in show transformed to the Hulk. And some of them are just flat-out hilarious.

17. Receiving a lethal injection, and then having the person say, "Oh. I just gave you a lethal injection. Sorry, David."

20. Dealing with a pesky operator in a phone booth ("I DON'T HAVE TWENTY-FIVE
CENTS!!!")

47. Being stuck in a cab in New York rush hour traffic - "You don't understand, I
have to be there by 4:00!" - "Hey, mac, it's rush hour, we ain't gettin' there til five, so relax." - "BUT I HAVE TO BE THERE BY FOUR!!!"

118. While working as a cabbie for the episode, trying to get the pregnant woman whose water has broken to the hospital, only to find that his cab is out of gas, and then having every gas station in town refuse to give him any gas, having a really mean gas station attendant yell back at him “I heard that one already!”, and then having same mean attendant slam the door on his fingers (As an interesting touch, after the Hulk trashes the place, he ambles over to the taxi to find out that the woman HAS DELIVERED HER OWN BABY and is now happily smiling at the Hulk with the baby!)

Here's the road-rage backseat driver, which is just flat out brilliant:


And the annoying operator:
