When the funniest member of the team turns up, he's just a normal unpowered guy called Peter (played by Rob Delaney). His headshot is s good compared to what he looks like in real life that 'Pool asks him "Am I being Catfished here?"

That's obviously a reference to the film that inspired the inferior TV show about online identity fraud.

Once more, we see a sign for Sister Margaret's School For Wayward Girls above the door for Weasel's bar where the X-Force auditions take place.

It's known as Hell House here and in the comics, but it was previously known as Sister Margaret’s School For Wayward Girls.

37. Cable's Height

In the comics, Cable is huge - 6'8 in fact - but Josh Brolin is comparatively tiny (only 5'10), which caused some fan ire when he was announced. Deadpool plays up to the controversy: "You're only 5'11 not like in the comics."
