Confession time, Rioters: I did not always love Deadpool. There was a time in my life when I thought he was weird, nonsensical, overtly sexual, and pretty disturbing. Then I read Deadpool: Dead Presidents by Brian Posehn and Gerry Duggan and illustrated by Tony Moore, and I realized that, yes, all of those things are true but, in the right hands, he’s really, really funny.

If you’re not quite convinced, here are 21 Deadpool quotes from the 2016 movie and various comics to get you excited about the infamous Merc with a Mouth. So put on your comfy crocs, heat up a chimichanga, and get ready for Maximum Effort.

Deadpool Quotes From the 2016 Movie

-seconds after a scene of gratuitous violence and murder-

Deadpool: You’re probably thinking, “My boyfriend said this was a superhero movie, but that guy in the suit just turned that other guy into a fucking kebab!” Well, I may be super, but I’m no hero. And, yeah, technically, this is murder. But some of the best love stories start with a murder, and that’s exactly what this is, a love story. And to tell it right…I gotta take you back to long before I squeezed this ass into red spandex.

 

-in a conversation with Weasel, who runs a mercenary hangout/betting pool/bar-

Deadpool: You know what they call cancer in Spanish?

Weasel: What do they call it?

Deadpool: El cancer.

 

-arguing for the umpteenth time with the ever-patient Colossus-

Deadpool: If I ever decide to become a crime-fighting shit swizzler who rooms with a bunch of other little whiners at Neverland Mansion with some creepy, old, bald, Heaven’s Gate-looking motherfucker…on that day, I’ll send your shiny, happy ass a friend request.

 

Deadpool: I didn’t just get the cure to el cancer, I got the cure to el everything.

 

Deadpool: I want to die a natural death at the age of 102—like the city of Detroit.

 

Deadpool: It’s a big house.  It’s weird I only ever see two of you.  Almost like the studio couldn’t afford another X-Man.

Deadpool: Daddy needs to express some rage.

Deadpool: Okay, let’s pro/con this superhero thing. Pro—they pull down a gaggle of ass, local dry cleaning discounts, lucrative film deals, both origin stories and larger ensemble team movies. Con—they’re lame-ass teacher’s pets!

 

-once more to my boy Colossus-

Deadpool: You big chrome cock goblin—you’re really gonna fuck this up for me.

 

-as Deadpool very, very disastrously attempts to fight Colossus-

Colossus:Do you have an off switch?

Deadpool:Yeah, it’s right next to the prostrate…or is that the on switch?

 

Deadpool: So what’s it going to be, sullen silence or mean comment?

Negasonic Teenage Warhead: Okay, you’ve got me in a box here.

 

Deadpool: Today was about as much fun as a sandpaper dildo.
