If there's one incredibly annoying habit movie studios have gotten into in recent years, it's trailer teasers. Rather than just announcing a premiere date for a highly anticipated new trailer, many of them find it necessary to sometimes spend days releasing three or four second snippets which end up making watching the whole thing a hell of a lot less exciting. As you might expect though, Deadpool's trailer teaser was a lot more unique than most. In the video, Reynolds provides a voiceover which seems him make fun of what Fox did to the character in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, drop an F-Bomb, take the piss out of himself (he's a five time Academy Award viewer, you see), and even drop a fun line about blowing out everyone's sphincter with the full-length trailer.
