The MCU Captain America movies aren't particularly known for their humor, but these memes bring out the comedy in Steve Rogers' story.

The Captain America trilogy was all about duty and sacrifice but still gave the fans some laughs. Steve Rogers's story captured fans' hearts, thanks largely to Chris Evans' stoic performance as the man out of time. However, the films aren't exactly famous for their comedy, especially by the MCU's standards.

Still, there's plenty of humor to find in the films, most of it intentional. Fans are always looking for new ways to interact and relate to their favorite content, and memes are the perfect way to do it. Whether they're addressing Steve and Bucky's special relationship or the story's many contrived choices, these memes will make more than a few fans chuckle.

It Was Quite The Journey

Every fan knows Steve Rogers began as a skinny and kind-hearted boy that eventually became the First Avenger and the team's de-facto leader. Marvel chronicled his evolution throughout three films and numerous appearances in the Avengers movies, providing the character with one of the best arcs in the MCU.

This meme by user @MHCworld1 compares the character's development with the evolution of the PlayStation's controller. The comparison is surprisingly accurate, providing an extra layer of comedy to an already absurd and hilarious meme.

Only A Tad Creepy

Steve Rogers' love life is notoriously convoluted. His most significant romance is with Peggy Carter, but they get separated after he goes into the ice, emerging 6o+ years later. Although Peggy moves on, gets married, and starts a family, Steve stays largely in love with her, except for a brief connection he shares with Peggy's niece, Sharon.

The whole thing is slightly icky, especially considering the ending of Avengers: Endgame, and this meme mocks the situation effectively. Steve and Peggy might be the MCU's most relatable couple at times but that doesn't make the circumstances surrounding their reunion any less strange.

Was It Worth It, Steve?

Fans remain divided about whether Captain America was right to stay in the past or not. Many believe Steve deserved to be happy, especially because the circumstances surrounding his heroic and tragic life were unfair and beyond his control. However, others think it was selfish of him to abandon his responsibilities and purposely alter Peggy's life.

This meme shows how absurd the whole situation was. Steve had a proper journey during his time in the MCU, and his traveling to the past did seem like something of a cop-out. However, it was heartwarming to see him finally sharing his dance with Peggy.

It Got Awkward Really Fast

Although brief, Steve and Sharon's romance remains subject to controversy among MCU fans. It would be awkward for Steve to witness Sharon's birth and spend time with her as a child considering their shared history together in his previous timeline.

The potentially problematic and uncomfortable situation is the subject of this darkly funny meme. Steve's face of silent contemplation makes it even more hilarious while also enhancing how deeply creepy the whole situation is. Perhaps Cap isn't as righteous as many of his fans believe.

Stucky Forever

And speaking of sensitive issues for fans, the nature of Steve and Bucky's relationship is at the top of that particular list. Many see them as friends and brothers in arms with a shared history that's impossible to ignore; however, others consider Steve and Bucky the MCU's best couple, and a romance between them could be a very real possibility.

Despite the many beautiful and powerful women in his life, Bucky was always Steve's priority. Their relationship is front and center throughout the Captain America trilogy, and this meme is the perfect proof. Steve cared deeply about the women in his life, but there was only one Bucky.

Too Soon?

Bucky's death in Captain America: The First Avenger was arguably the formative event in Steve Rogers' life, even more than becoming the First Avenger. It left a huge hole in his life, and a sense of guilt that made him savagely try to protect Bucky once he returned as the Winter Soldier.

There's no doubt that Steve and Bucky's friendship was crucial to the MCU and one of the pillars upon which the Captain America trilogy stood. This darkly funny meme from Redditor CableBear10 accurately depicts what it took for Cap to win his first encounter with HYDRA, Steve wouldn't laugh, but he would certainly understand the reference.

Freeloader!

Many characters have held Captain America's shield in the comics and films, but the now-iconic weapon remains closely associated with Steve Rogers. However, Cap used other weapons in the MCU, mainly the dual shields T'Challa gave him in Avengers: Infinity War and Mjölnir during Avengers: Endgame. 

This meme pokes fun at the fact none of those weapons technically belonged to Steve. Cap's shield was government property, the dual shields were Wakandan, and Mjolnir was Thor's. And while it would be unfair to call Cap a freeloader, he kind of was.

The Perks Of Being A Time-Traveler

Steve took a huge bet by staying in the past, considering the many things that could've gone wrong. However, having crucial knowledge about the future can have its perks, and Cap's time-traveling shenanigans proved he wasn't that righteous.

This meme by user @akkie42 takes a Back to the Future approach to Steve and Peggy's life by suggesting he would invest wisely. The idea is hilarious, and although Steve is usually a by-the-book fellow, no one would blame him for placing a few smart investments here and there.

He *IS* America's Ass

Avengers: Endgame introduced the "America's ass" joke, and it quickly became a favorite with audiences. Fans keep coming back to it, even though Cap is gone from the MCU.

This meme by user @marvxlsthor, which came out shortly after Endgame's original 2019 release, pokes fun at Scott and Tony's reactions to America's ass while also throwing in Pepper, Hope, and Bucky's reactions for good fun. It's a hilarious "what if" scenario that makes an already funny gag even funnier.

Language!

Captain America's "Language!" line in Avengers: Age of Ultron became one of the quotes most closely associated with his character. It perfectly embodied the kind of man he was: slightly conservative and struggling to adapt to a new and vastly different world but never closing himself to the possibility.

This meme pokes fun at Cap's stoic and prudish personality, using one of Steve's most imposing shots from Captain America: The Winter Soldier. It's all in good fun, and if Steve ever saw it, he would probably also let out a chuckle and give whoever made it a stern look.
