We May Have Witnessed The Greatest Promo Movie Campaign Ever In 'Deadpool'
Hold on to your happy sacks.
20th Century Fox's 'Deadpool' comes out Feb 12, and honestly, it almost feels surreal.
Fortunately, fans have had a glorious bevy of trailers and videos to obsess over during 6 months leading up to the movie - most of it being of the NSFW variety.
Abundantly lewd, gloriously uncensored NSFW.
Even the Super Bowl ad was a little edgy:
"I always wanted to be a professional athlete...cuz I wanted to have children in cities all over the world."
Of course, there was one obligatory non-NSWF trailer amidst all the other awesomely inappropriate ones:
But who wants to watch censored garbage when you have 'Red Band' trailers GALORE:
You're only cool if you like swear words. Duh.
Seriously though, the promo onslaught has been a veritable feast of profanity:
"When you find out your worst enemy is after your best girl, the time has come to be a fucking super hero."
Then there's all the other hilariously random promotional videos 20th Century Fox has put out, like this weird bit, where Deadpool pays homage to Aussies in lieu of "Australia Day":
"Seriously, I would fit right in with your proud nation--with its shady, criminal past and its predilection for blackout drinking, and unrelenting condescension toward New Zealand."
The fictional cancer survivor-turned-mercenary even helped advocate for testicular cancer, partnering up with non-profit initiative, Ballboys (yes, Ballboys):
"I'm sure you rummage around downstairs more than mommy would like, but it's time you started paying attention to your favorite pastime. Because that bag of beans bouncing around in your hand could be trying to kill you."
The campaign slogan? "#TouchYourselfTonight." We can't make this stuff up...(no seriously, that would be super illegal).
Seriously, what more reason do you need to go see "Deadpool" in theaters? And consider taking his advice - see it in IMAX.
After all, "bigger is better, right?"
And as a disclaimer, no, we didn't partner with 20th Century Fox to promote the movie. We're just this goddamn excited about it. And you should be too.
