Deadpool Live-Tweeted Super Bowl 2018, and It Was Better Than the Game
Because Fox was "too cheap" to buy a Super Bowl ad, Deadpool spent Sunday night promoting his sequel on Twitter.
Talk about maximum effort!
Last we heard, "Deadpool 2" was releasing its first trailer with "Black Panther," posting the video online on Valentine's Day. That's next week, which means it skipped the usual parade of movie trailers during the February 4 Super Bowl.
However, not one to miss an opportunity for self-promotion, the official Deadpool Movie account live tweeted the big game in classic Merc With a Mouth fashion.
Remember that time I was wrist-deep in cocoa butter and Fox called to say they were too cheap to buy a spot in the big game then told me I had to live tweet it? Cause I do... #DPtheSB#SBLIIhttps://t.co/YGlQ6DZhbU

Whoever tweets from the account -- whether it's Ryan Reynolds, the movie's writers, a combination, or other -- really did give maximum effort. "Deadpool" tweeted dozens of times during the Pats/Eagles game, from Pink's National Anthem to the coin toss, Justin Timberlake's halftime show, etc.
Here are just a few of the bon mots:
God, I love Pink (and not just the pop singer). Besides being my 2nd favorite shade of red, it's also the color of the inside of people's outsides and that lady biker gang from Grease. #DPtheSB

Heads or Tails. When a coin looks this good, we're all winners. #CouldBounceAQuarterOffIt#DPtheSB#SB52pic.twitter.com/V2dJXKRMea

Feel ya on the hand thing, Tom. Good thing we both have that mutant healing factor, huh? #DPtheSB#SB52pic.twitter.com/aRKcNdOt7a

Anything centered around a bunch of muscular, athletic men manhandling a leather ball has my vote. The shiny tights are just icing on the cake. #DPtheSB#SB52

Lord, if you can hear me, please: Give us an @NSYNC reunion tonight. #DPtheSB#SB52

Gronk reminds me of a cooler, more athletic, better looking Colossus. Hell of a tight end, too. #GronkSpike#DPtheSB#SB52

Remember when JT was part of [Redacted by @20thCenturyFox]'s [Redacted by @20thCenturyFox] Mouse Club? #PepsiHalftime#DPtheSB#SB52

Some people use deflated balls. Some people look like them. #DPtheSB#SB52pic.twitter.com/0MibmM0UjP

Is there anything better than watching tv naked? I can't believe the bartenders haven't asked me to leave... #DPtheSB#SB52

Oh. It's like my parents with my childhood! I mean the fumble. Because they fumbled my childhood. #DPtheSB#SB52

Just once I'd like the winning coach to pose under the @Gatorade like he was in Flashdance, or Footloose, or whatever that Patrick Swayze movie was. Oh well, maybe next year... #DPtheSB#SB52
