Is there really anything before or after that scene that was meant to be funny though?

Hundu's right. One of my favorite bits is the "We got this man! We got this by the rear end!"

There's a lot of weird goofy stuff in Superman 2, but honestly I prefer the theatrical cut over the re-edit supervised by Donner. There's definitely some tonal whiplash between the two directors but Lester's/the Salkinds' cut works better than Donner's Frankenstein of his scenes, Lester's scenes, screentests, footage shot in 2005, digitally re-done effects, and re-used effects from the first movie.

For those that haven't seen it, in Donner's cut the ending is after everything gets wrapped up in the fortress, they re-used Superman spinning the earth backwards from the first movie and then he goes off to beat up a trucker, despite them now never having encountered one another before.
