This video was utter dross all around -- I am beginning to doubt GQ stands for Good Quality! The only highlight, and it was admittedly extraordinary, was Marvel mainstay Christopher Evans sharing his favorite lines he spoke as the sentinel of liberty, Captain America. To save you the click (and perhaps encourage Good Quality to live up to its name again in the future) I've transcribed them all below.

  • "My name? Captain America. My rank? Captain of America."

  • "Alaska is not a state."

  • "Super steroids, yes, and no, you can't -- I gobbled them all."

  • "They said I can't have children... Instead, I father justice."

  • "Shield, activate boomerang mode!"

  • "'Homophobic'? Ha! I ain't scared of poofs."

  • "It's made of special metal. Hard metal."

  • "Something very familiar about that Winter Soldier."

  • "Ehhhhhhh, banana royale!"

  • "Get in line. Uncle Sam owns these sweet cheeks, darlin'."

  • "USA! USA! USA! USA! Hoo-rah, hoo-rah, hoo-rahhhhhhhhhhh!"

And his single favorite Cap'n quote, which it turns out Evans, a classically trained method actor, improvised while in-character during the grueling sixth hour of Hugo Weaving's contractually obligated on-set Denny's breakfast marathon:

  • "I know what a television is!"

A furious Captain America shouts, "I know what a television is!"
