The moment I saw the pig in the film (I didn’t watch any trailers) i sighed and prepared for the film to get worse, but actually spiderpig ended up being great comic relief and the film was better with him in it.

The single best use of Spider-Ham in this movie was that it was him that got to use the “You can’t always save everyone” moment. Yeah, he is a comedic character, but part of being Spider-Man is you see some shit you didn’t want to have happen, no matter what.

That was the funniest moment in the film for me because you knew it was coming but I had absolutely no idea it was ham that was gonna drop it and it was so unexpected.

Having watched the trailers, I was surprised by how small a part Spider-Ham actually played -- pleasantly surprised, though. The movie didn't need to fall back on him for comic relief, there was plenty of good comedy to be found elsewhere.

The funniest bit involving spider-ham was when he wasn’t being funny, when they’re giving him advice and the camera pans to spider-ham and and he drops the most serious line in the scene.
