Updated on December 6, 2022 by Colin McCormick:

WithThe Guardians of the Galaxy : Holiday Specialas well as the recently released trailer forGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 3 , buff are get plenty of reminders of how enceinte Drax is . And with his many appearances in the MCU , he has present many more terrific lines that cement why he has become so pop . From his badass qualities to his loyalty as a friend to his many uproarious one - liner , these are more of Drax ’s estimable quotes .

“Nothing Goes Over My Head…

My Reflexes Are Too Fast. I Would Catch It.”

Guardians Of The Galaxy (2014)

InGuardians of the Galaxy , Rocket tells the other Guardians that metaphor will go over Drax ’s head , and Drax responds with this famous line , cracking up audiences while demonstrate that he really is clueless when it comes to metaphor . Because his people are so real , every idiom , abstract comparison , and play on row is lost on Drax .

With this one quotation , Drax showed just how much potential he had as a comedic grapheme . His show might be intimidating , but his overly serious role mixed with his lack of apprehension made him such an entertaining character .

“I Wasn’t Listening I Was Thinking Of Something Else.”

The Guardians are not the distinctive group of heroes in the MCU , and they are just as likely to cause problem as they are to hold get to the day . But Drax seems particularly irregular as a hero , often derailing the squad ’s missionary station with his forgetful nature .

As the Hero of Alexandria forgather to determine their good chances of defeating Ronan , Drax repeats something that was just said before admitting that he was n’t hear . Even with the galaxy at stake , Drax can get lost in his own piddling world , and the theme of that makes it one of thefunniest MCU quotes according to fans .

“I’ve Mastered The Ability Of Standing So Incredibly Still…

That I Become Invisible To The Eye.”

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

One of the most repeat Drax jest among fans has inspired countlessmemes sinceAvengers : Infinity Warwas turn . After Quill and Gamora find Drax standing silently nearby , he insists he has figured out how to become invisible .

It is a silly minute that only works because Drax has such a come away common sense of realness . Dave Bautista ’s solemn pitch create it even funnier , as Drax admits he has been standing there for hours .

“I Like Your Knife, I’m Keeping It.”

Though Drax is likely practiced with all kinds of munition , he seems to have a particular fondness for knives . This is first see in one of his first ever scene in the MCU when Drax disarms a fellow captive before resolve he is maintain the tongue .

Even with him bullyrag the other would - be assassin into giving over his weapon , Drax show his infantile side , acting like he ’s taking toys from other kid on the resort area . The other prisoner ’s sad input that it was his favorite knife adds to the hilarity .

“I Hate Stories Where Everybody Lives.”

The Guardians Of The Galaxy: Holiday Special (2022)

It is not surprising that Drax is thefunniest character in the holiday special , as his brand name of playfulness does n’t really fit with the holiday time of year . While the other characters get in on the gay feel , Drax is still more concerned in violence and decease .

After learn the storey of Yondu ruining Christmas for Quill , Mantis remarks how sad it is . Drax agrees , but his abstract thought for hating the story is very different . The fact that Drax was listening to the taradiddle of young Quill trying to celebrate the holiday and wish it would terminate with a dying is hilariously dark .

“What If Someone Does Something Irksome…

And I Decide To Remove His Spine?”

The Guardians of the Galaxy are underdogs within the MCU and can not always be counted on to be the submarine sandwich . This is particularly rightful of Drax , who thinks violence is the obvious first recourse for any law-breaking .

After the Nova Corps predict to wipe their slate uncontaminating , the Guardians begin marvel just how closely they have to watch the law going forrad . Drax ’s question about removing someone ’s spine leads to Corpsman Dey explaining that it would be murder , which does n’t seem to bother Drax in the slightest .

“There Are Two Types Of Beings In The Universe.

Those Who Dance, And Those Who Do Not.”

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2(2017)

Drax is the kind of supporter who would be ideal to have in battle , but he might not be the admirer who delivers helpful advice to those in motivation . He might think of well , but whenever he tries to give advice , he usually ends up horribly diss the person he was attempting to help in the first place .

When Quill seems lost in his kinship with Gamora , Drax explains that they are just two dissimilar the great unwashed . It is surprisingly valid advice from Drax , but he follows it up by suggest that Quill would be good off with someone silly like him . So closely , Drax .

“We Hate You.”

The Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special (2022)

There have beena slew of great MCU cameosover the days , but the visual aspect by Kevin Bacon inThe Guardians of the Galaxy : Holiday Specialwas especially fun . But the excitement of having the fabled Kevin Bacon quickly wears slight for Drax as he discovers that he is just an actor .

Their disgust for actors and their letdown over his lies can not dampen Bacon ’s liveliness as he admit in the wonder of the creation . But Drax still feel it is necessary to tell him exactly how he feels in a very blunt way .

“And So Are You… On The Inside.”

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

The conjugation of Drax and Mantis has become afavorite non - canon MCU couplefor many rooter . However , they seem to work better as a mismatched pair of friends , and their relationship started from a uproariously odd place inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 2 .

“It’s Like A Pirate Had A Baby With An Angel.”

When Thor is brought aboard the Milano inAvengers : Infinity War , the Guardians of the Galaxy offer commentary on his physical appearance , with all of them in veneration of the muscular Asgardian except for Quill .

Drax is not one to give out compliments freely , so his quick appreciation for the God of Thunder is peculiarly telling . It suggests there might have been a missed opportunity in not giving these two reference more clock time together .
