The Marketing people for Deadpool deserve a raise

So the marketing for Deadpool has been heating up of late.

I like the comics. They're funny and cartoonish enough.

Who would have expected the movie to have the same gonzo sense of humor?

From early December:



Before Christmas, we get Deadpool's secret plans-- which look very much like Kevin's plans from Home Alone:



Then we get Deadpool's Christmas list:


$240 worth of pudding. Awesome.

Then we get a "sit on my lap" stand-up:


Which, as it should, led to people having fun with it (Deadpool approved, I'm sure).



Then the dopey, 40-Year Old Virgin homage:



His Christmas letter:


'80s style IMAX poster:


A few TV spots, which shows how silly it all is.
Then, on Christmas Day, they drop the red band trailer:

Shit just got real...

But they weren't done.

He took over an issue of Empire:



Then he has a spot during The Bachelor where he says the movie is a love story.
I mean, it premieres Feb 12; the time for a Valentine's date...
So they adjusted the marketing to play up the romance with:


and:


and even:


and to draw the young crowd:


And because the old people thought SkullpoopL, they did this one:


And back to Valentine's Day:


This Marketing team needs to get a raise...
Four more weeks until it hits theaters, so I can only imagine what they'll come up with next...
