History ShoutOut / Deadpool2

* Fred compares the Fox made marvel movies to Music/TheBeatles... produced by Music/{{Nickelback}}.

* Fred says he'd like to fight Matt Damon, but with fight beeping bleeped by Deadpool it makes it sound like the infamous song "I am Fucking Matt Damon".

* When Cable plants the coin on Deadpool to prevent him from taking the bullet that originally kills him, Deapool says "Somebody swiped right", a reference to the dating website Tinder.

* Wade tells an elderly woman holding ballons that he loved her work in ''WesternAnimation/{{Up}}''.

The film and its related materials have numerous references to works by other creators.

** During the parachute sequence, Deadpool crashes into a sign advertising a puppet show at an amusement park, referencing one of the more famous gags from the same movie.

* Wade kidnaps Creator/FredSavage and traps him in a recreation of the FramingDevice room from ''Film/ThePrincessBride'' in an attempt to recreate its "child-like innocence".

'''Russel:''' You stole that from ''[[Film/RoboCop Robocop]]''!\\

* Russell knocks on [[spoiler:Juggernaut's]] cell door in a ShaveAndAHairCut pattern, just like Anna did on Elsa's door as a child in the song, you've guessed it, "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" from ''Disney/{{Frozen}}''.

* The Thanksgiving 2017 poster with Deadpool, Cable and the rest of the cast sitting around the table as Deadpool brings out a turkey is based on the "Freedom From Want" painting by Creator/NormanRockwell.
* The first trailer has Wade dressed up like Bob Ross while doing a ''Series/TheJoyOfPainting'' parody, including the show's theme song and numerous {{Memetic Mutation}}s from Ross's show like "happy trees".
** The colors he says he's using include [[Film/AClockworkOrange Clockwork Orange]], Girls of Indigo, Film/SoylentGreen, [[Film/MenInBlack Mennen Black]], [[Film/BackToTheFuture Doc Brown]], Creator/BettyWhite, [[Website/{{Reddit}} Red Dit]], and [[Film/PrettyInPink Pretty 'n Pink]].

* In the Super Duper Cut, Wade when he regains consciousness after Cable knocked him out (and broke his collar) starts speaking Spanish - a nod to Buzz Lightyear in ''Disney/ToyStory3''.

* While fighting [[spoiler:Juggernaut]], Deadpool mockingly recites "[[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron Hey, big guy.]] [[Film/ThorRagnarok The sun's getting real low]], the mantra used to calm down the Hulk in the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse''.

* Black Tom Cassidy and Juggernaut being in a gag-filled slapstick recalls WebVideo/MyWayEntertainment's "Juggernaut Bitch" video.

* Wade and Vanessa watch ''Film/{{Yentl}}'', at which Wade questions why "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" from ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' sounds so much like "Papa Can You Hear Me?". It becomes a RunningGag from there on.

* Wade escaping an army of criminals, yelling at Dopinder from afar to start the taxi before diving into the vehicle and ending up upside-down in the process is taken directly from the Franchise/IndianaJones's escape in the ActionPrologue of ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''.

** Director David Leitch's credit gag in the opening is "One of the guys who killed the dog in ''Film/JohnWick''". His credit is also synced with a stacks of tokens falling in the background, a reference to those films' usage of special metal coin currency.

* Deadpool refers to a creepy-looking orderly at the Essex House as [[UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump Jared Kushner.]]

--> '''Colossus:''' Come quietly, or there will be trouble.
--> '''Russel:''' You stole that from ''[[Film/RoboCop Robocop]]''!
--> '''Deadpool:''' It's ''Robocop''!

* After a mutant inhibitor collar takes away his powers, Deadpool laments that if he had a bow and arrows he'd basically be Comicbook/{{Hawkeye}}.

* Deadpool does the Film/BasicInstinct leg cross...[[spoiler:with tiny baby legs and a baby-sized penis.]]

'''Weasel:''' It's his Film/{{basic instinct}}.
* Wade jokingly calls Domino "Black ComicBook/BlackWidow."
** Made [[Funny/Deadpool2 hilarious]] when you remember Creator/RyanReynolds used to be married [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse to the current]] [[Creator/ScarlettJohansson Black Widow]].

* The film references the music video for "Take On Me" by Music/AHa as a unplugged version of the song plays [[spoiler:when Vanessa reaches through the barrier, grabs Wade’s arm, and pulls him through, where his appearance changes]].

* When Wade sneaks into Blind Al's apartment, she's listening to Radio/TheJackBennyProgram. In particular, it's the famous "ImThinkingItOver" scene, known for getting the biggest laugh in radio history.

* Rupert Holmes' "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)", heavily featured in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'', plays in a similar manner (as digetic and non-digetic music that is suspiciously appropriate) when Cable, escaping from his BadFuture, steals a truck from a couple of rednecks.
