Sorry if this has been done before, but I couldn't find anything when I searched for it. If such a thread exists, please merge.
One of the staples of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are the scenes that come after or during the credits. It's become such an iconic part of it that even "Agents of SHIELD" copied it with the final stinger at the end of every episode. So after the particularly impressive post-credit scenes in CA:TWS, how would you rank them?
(For the ones that had two scenes, like The Avengers, Thor: TDW, and CA:TWS, I'm just combining them, since they were from the same film, but feel free to separate them if you want to).
From best to least best:
1. Iron Man - "I'm here to talk to you about the Avenger Initiative."
It was tough choosing between this and the Thanos reveal, but this is the one that started it all and IMO nothing has topped it yet. Having Samuel L. Jackson show up as Nick Fury was a game-changer for superhero films. I'm so glad I went into this one unspoiled. I knew there was a scene after the credits, but I had no idea what it was. I didn't pay much attention to the hype for Iron Man because I thought it was just going to be another one-and-done Marvel movie. I had no idea it was the starting point for the MCU and that it would turn into what it became.

2. The Avengers - "To challenge them is to court death."
Most of us knew that Thanos would be brought into the game at some point down the line, but I'm not sure anyone thought we would see him revealed so soon. It's such a great tease, especially since there has yet to be another mention of him (until GOTG, at least).

BONUS: The shawarma scene was an unexpected laugh. There really isn't much to it, but just the sight of all of them eating in silence after all the chaos is hilarious.

3. Captain America: The Winter Soldier - "This is the age of miracles, doctor."
This one was great. I loved being introduced to not only Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, but also Baron von Strucker, even if he is a little bit of the classic stereotypical German villain. It also shows us that Age of Ultron will indeed be a darker film, judging from the state of the twins. I couldn't be more excited for it now.
BONUS: The Bucky scene after the credits was great too. I can't wait to see where we catch up with the character next.
I'm not posting the clips here for obvious reasons, but you can find them on YouTube.
4. The Incredible Hulk - "What if I told you we were putting a team together?"
For me, this is the most underrated credits scene (even though it technically happened before the credits). It ultimately didn't really go anywhere, as they just sort of glossed over it with "The Consultant", but what was so great about it was just seeing Stark show up. The Nick Fury scene set the bar, but this was the first time when I sat back and thought, "My God, this is really going to happen, isn't it?"

5. Thor - "Well I guess that's worth a look."
The Tesseract reveal with Fury was cool enough, but the Loki reveal was the cherry on top.

6. Thor: The Dark World - "One down. Five to go."
Speaking of the Tesseract, this was a nice little GOTG teaser. I can tell Benicio Del Toro is going to be a memorable part of that movie already. It's also a great Infinity Gauntlet tease.
(For some reason, the only videos of this on YouTube are crappy bootlegs, so I'm not posting them here)
BONUS: The scene with Thor arriving on Earth gave the movie closure, plus the Jotunheim beast still running around London was funny.

7. Captain America: The First Avenger - "Are you here with a mission, sir?"
This one was great at the time because it was our first ever glimpse at The Avengers. I was geeking out just seeing Stark and Thor on the screen at the same time. But after the release of The Avengers, this scene isn't really necessary viewing anymore, since the punching bag scene was a part of that film.

8. Iron Man 2 - "Sir...we found it."
Much like the post-credits scene for Cap 1, it's unnecessary viewing after the release of Thor since the scene is in the film. But again, it was awesome when it first came out. The hammer reveal was perfect.

9. Iron Man 3 - "I'm sorry, I'm not that kind of doctor."
Enjoyable? Sure. It's worth a chuckle, and I'm always down for more Stark/Banner banter, but ultimately it doesn't bring anything to the table. We should have had a tease for something bigger in the middle of the credits, like, just throwing an example out there, there could have been a scene that showed that not all of the suits were destroyed or maybe an Ultron tease.
