15 Outrageous Deadpool Jokes That Really Push The Boundaries

5. Suffering And Self-Deprecating

Deadpool €“ if you weren€™t already aware €“ has been suffering with cancer for several years. His healing factor means that he can€™t die from it, though, which is why his face looks so rotted and disfigured. Like a topographical map of Utah, according to some sources. He uses humour to deal with this constant pain all the time, but this simple pun is one of the funniest occurrences. He€™s swinging around using Spidey€™s tech, and asked his star sign by an admirer (would anyone actually ask that? It€™s not worth worrying about). His response, €œCancer. I guess,€ is a simple play on words, pitch black comedy and self-deprecating humour all rolled into one. A distasteful gag that works on several levels, told in one panel €“ brilliant.
