The 18th episode of the sixth season of the satirical stop-motion series '' Robot Chicken '' , released February 3 , 2013 , features a sketch where , after the failure of '' Spider-Man : Turn Off the Dark '' , a second attempt is made to make a Marvel superhero musical , titled '' " Avengers : Musictacular Tapstravaganza " '' , featuring musical numbers sung by Thor , Black Widow , Hawkeye , Loki , and Iron Man , a dance number by Captain America , and a large animatronic Hulk . The musical plays out decently at best until the animatronic Hulk begins to spark and malfunction , causing an explosion that decapitates the actor playing Thor , impales the actor playing Iron Man with a pipe , and severely injures the rest of the cast . Considering the fact that the actors have no insurance , the musical 's director and producer light two Molotov cocktails and toss them , burning the theatre as they make a beeline for the exit . The May 23 , 2011 episode of the satirical animated series '' Mad '' involved Taymor approaching the '' Smallville '' TV-series version of Clark Kent to cast him and the rest of the characters in '' Smallville : Turn Off the Clark '' . At the 2011 Tony Awards , host Neil Patrick Harris tried but failed to confine himself to as many jokes about '' Spider-Man '' as he could complete in 30 seconds , focusing mainly on the accidents plaguing the show
