10 Movies That Mock You For Paying Attention

At only four minutes, the hilarious Deadpool short film No Good Deed is easily the briefest entry on this list. But it doesn't take long for Ryan Reynolds' wisecracking self referential superhero to tear his own audience of fans a new one, as evidenced by this film's playful and surreal tangent in its super quick credits.

Like a lot of the entries on this list, this gag is hidden in the closing credits of 2017's blackly comic short which was shown before the elegiac Wolverine outing Logan upon its initial cinema release. The short itself sees a mugger successfully rob and murder a man whilst Wade is busy trying to fit into his super-suit, a deeply Deadpool subversion of the classic superhero "changing outfits in a phone booth" trope.

But it's actually after the film technically ends that the director gets in their dig at over-enthusiastic viewers.

Freeze frame the credits to this one and you'll be treated to not one joke, but an entire book report written by Wade Wilson himself. What's the subject? Hemingway's classic The Old Man and the Sea, in a not-so-subtle nod that hints at Logan's sad ending for viewers paying way too much attention.
