Though Russell is perhaps the most crucial supporting character in Deadpool 2's plot, he gets surprisingly few opportunities to truly shine throughout the film, often being relegated to just shouting in his distinctive Kiwi twang.

His best moment, however, occurs during his very first scene, as Deadpool and co. arrive at the Essex House for Mutant Rehabilitation and attempt to calm an angry Russell down.

As Deadpool approaches, Russell promises, "Stay back or Justin Bieber dies!", referring to Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand). Cue Wade bursting into uncontrollable laughter and making sure a very p***ed off Negasonic heard what he said.

The "prison wallet" gag was pretty great, but for sheer unexpected hilarity, this line wins.
