11	* The [[https://twitter.com/vancityreynolds/status/892049064858075136 reveal of Domino]] pulls double-duty, referencing both the reveal of Wade for the first film, and the original Creator/BurtReynolds cheesecake photo ''it'' was aping.
12	* 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.
13	* The first trailer:
14	** Wade is 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".

19	* One of the film posters is a recreation of the iconic "water scene" from ''Film/{{Flashdance}}'', only with Wade being showered in bullet casings instead of water.
20	* In the "Meet Cable" trailer:
21	** Deadpool yells at the visual effects department "It's a metal arm! It's not like we're trying to remove a ''mustache!''" in reference to Creator/HenryCavill's [[TakeThat infamous]] CGI mustache removal in ''Film/JusticeLeague2017''.
22	** Deadpool dresses his action figure up like Woody from ''Franchise/ToyStory''. The action figures also have "WAᗡE" written on one of their feet, just like Woody has "AИDY" written on the bottom of his.
23	** Deadpool yells "Fuck it, I'll do it myself!" and tells the Cable action figure he has the "stones" to help him, as a reference to Cable's actor Creator/JoshBrolin also playing ComicBook/{{Thanos}} in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' the month before this film was released.
24	* In the "The Trailer" trailer:
25	** Dopinder is listening to "All Out of Love" by Music/AirSupply as Wade escapes an army of criminals. [[ActorAllusion A song that]] Creator/RyanReynolds [[Film/VanWilder is familiar with.]]
26	** The title card announces the film is "from the studio that brought you ''Film/TwentySevenDresses'' and ''Film/TheDevilWearsPrada''." despite being in a completely different genre.

34	* In the music video for the film's original song from Music/CelineDion, "Ashes", Wade references ''Film/Titanic1997'', and after seeing Céline is probably ''too'' good for his stupid movie, suddenly realizes, "God, I should have asked Music/NSync".
35	** Céline also confuses Deadpool for ComicBook/SpiderMan.
36	** Céline ''only'' [[Film/ThisIsSpinalTap goes up to eleven]].
37	* In the "With Apologies to UsefulNotes/DavidBeckham" promo, Beckham ribs Wade that he ''thought'' he was apologizing for a swath of his actor Creator/RyanReynolds' filmography, including ''Film/GreenLantern2011'', ''Film/{{RIPD}}'', ''Film/{{Selfless}}'', ''Film/BladeTrinity'', and the Literature/{{Frankenstein}} comedy ''Boltneck''. Music/{{Berlin}}'s "Take My Breath Away" also plays in the background.
38	* After the film's great first week at the box office, the production staff released a "Thank You" commercial that was an affectionate recreation of the opening of ''Series/TheGoldenGirls''.
39
40	[[AC:The Film]]
41	* Wade claims all good family films begin with a vicious murder, including ''WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King\|1994}}'', [[BreadEggsMilkSquick and]] ''[[Film/Saw3D Saw 7]]''.
42	* 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 Franchise/IndianaJones's escape in the ActionPrologue of ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''.
43	* Wade notes he's basically BiggerThanJesus because his first film made more than ''Film/ThePassionOfTheChrist'' worldwide (and almost as much domestically).
44	* Wade tells Dopinder to "[[Film/TopGun Talk to me, Goose.]]"
45	* Dopinder explains his desire to become a ProfessionalKiller using an extended ''Film/InterviewWithTheVampire'' metaphor involving Creator/KirstenDunst, Creator/TomCruise, and Creator/BradPitt.

47	* Wade and Vanessa watch ''Film/{{Yentl}}'', at which point Wade questions why "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" from ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen\|2013}}'' sounds so much like "Papa Can You Hear Me?" It becomes a RunningGag from there on.
48	* Wade and Vanessa discuss whether Luke banged his sister in ''Franchise/StarWars: Film/ANewHope'' or ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''.
49	* Wade suggest Music/{{Cher}} as a baby name.
50	* The movie's opening credits are styled like those of a ''Film/JamesBond'' movie -- with Deadpool taking not just the role of the manly action hero, but also the sexy Bond girls. Just add [[CreditsGag funny descriptions and some nonsense instead of names]].
51	* 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.
52	* Wade quotes lyrics from Music/GeorgeMichael's "Careless Whisper", and then mourns Michael's death.
53	* Weasel and Dopinder then have to hide from Wade the fact that Music/DavidBowie had passed away the previous year.
54	* When being woken up by Colossus in X-Men Manor, Deadpool mutters, "Such a glare, it's as if I were on stage at the Gaiety" referencing ''Series/DowntonAbbey''.
55	* Deadpool initially refers to Yukio as [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic "Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony".]]
56	* Deadpool refers to a creepy-looking orderly at the Essex House as [[UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump Jared Kushner]].
57	* Russel refers to Negasonic Teenage Warhead as Music/JustinBieber as Deadpool tries to approach him during the orphanage standoff.
58	* When Colossus asks Russell to surrender:
59	-->'''Colossus:''' Come quietly, or there will be trouble.\
60	'''Russell:''' You stole that from ''[[Film/RoboCop1987 Robocop]]''!\
61	'''Deadpool:''' It's ''Robocop''!
62	* When Negasonic introduces Wade to Yukio and assumes he's going to make a homophobic crack, he responds "Pump the hate brakes, ''Fox & Friends.''"
63	* Russell says he's a gangsta like Music/{{Tupac\|Shakur}}. This also doubles as an ActorAllusion to the actor's previous role in ''Film/HuntForTheWilderpeople'' where he acted as Ricky, a kid that admired Tupac and wanted to be a gangsta himself.
64	* 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}}.
65	* Cable has a dial on his custom future rifle that [[Film/ThisIsSpinalTap goes up to 11]].
66	** During the parachute sequence, Deadpool crashes into a sign advertising a puppet show at an amusement park, referencing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lku6S24pWSU one of the more famous punchlines]] from the same movie.
67	* Wade refers to Cable as a "grumpy old fuck with a [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier Winter Soldier]] arm."

70	* In the Super Duper Cut, when he regains consciousness after Cable knocked him out (and broke his collar), Wade starts speaking Spanish -- a nod to Buzz Lightyear in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3''.
71	* After learning Cable's from the future, Wade asks "Which ''Film/{{Sharknado}}'' are we on?"
72	* Cable and Deadpool have a RunningGag going about whether {{Dubstep}} is still popular in the future, before Music/{{Skrillex}} momentarily starts playing.
73	* When explaining the RockBottom trope, Deadpool uses the moments when Creator/JohnCandy lost his prized bobsled in ''Film/CoolRunnings'' and when the cast of the ''Film/TheHumanCentipede'' signed up [[TakeThat to be in the film]] as examples.
74	* When Bedlam explains his BrownNote powers, Deadpool compares him to the Music/DaveMatthewsBand.
75	* Deadpool's long series of "No"s to Domino saying luck is a superpower includes a "[[Series/SavedByTheBell Mario Nopez]]".
76	* Over the childish doodle that is Deadpool's action plan, you can notice that the DMC Prison sports a drawing of Wolverine tagged "Prisoner 24601". That's Jean Valjean's prisoner number in ''Film/{{Les Miserables\|2012}}'', who is, naturally, played by Creator/HughJackman.
77	* Naturally, fighting a killer cyborg from the future results in several jabs at [[Film/TheTerminator Terminator]], including calling Cable "John Connor".
78	* Wade calls Cable One-Eyed Willy, as a reference to ''Film/TheGoonies'', which was Cable's actor Josh Brolin's first film.
79	* Deadpool describes wearing a shirt and no pants as "Full Franchise/WinnieThePooh."

83	-->'''Cable:''' Is that really necessary?\
84	'''Weasel:''' It's his basic instinct.
85	* 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]].
86	* Dopinder responds to Cable's "I'm here to proposition you", with "''Film/TheProposition'' has a wonderful Creator/GuyPearce performance!"
87	* Deadpool wakes up Colossus at the X-Mansion by playing music from an [=iPhone=] held over his head in reference to the most famous scene of ''Film/SayAnything''.
88	* [[spoiler:Juggernaut]] threatens people with an AssShove ''using other people'', which is straight out of ''Film/{{Hancock}}''.
89	* 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''.
90	* Deadpool quotes to Colossus "It's time to sweep the leg, Johnny." from ''Film/TheKarateKid''.
91	* The climatic showdown between Deadpool, Cable, and Russell is set to the song "Tomorrow", from ''Theatre/{{Annie}}''. Specifically the version from the 1999 Disney MadeForTVMovie version, ''Film/Annie1999''.
92	* Wade gives Domino his ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' watch.
93	* 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 to his pre-mutation self]].
94	* When Cable plants the coin on Deadpool to prevent him from taking the bullet that originally kills him, Deadpool says "Somebody swiped right", a reference to the dating website Tinder.

96	* In the mid-credits scene, Deadpool refers to Negasonic Teenage Warhead as [[Series/StrangerThings Eleven]] due to her previous buzzcut hairstyle.
97	* In TheStinger, Wade also kills Creator/RyanReynolds before he can take the lead role in ''Film/GreenLantern2011''.
98	* Creator/MattDamon is credited as Dickie Greenleaf, Creator/JudeLaw's character whom Damon assumes in ''Film/TheTalentedMrRipley''.
99	* 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.
100	* The sign on top of Dopinder's taxi reads "ComicBook/AlphaFlight".
101	* In the X-Mansion, Wade wears a shirt that says "Meredith & Olivia -- Best Friends Purr-ever!". Those are Music/TaylorSwift's cats.
102	* The X-Force jumping from an airplane to the sound of "Thunderstruck", an Music/{{ACDC}} song, is a reference to ''Film/IronMan2'', where Iron Man does the same thing to the sound of "Shoot to Thrill".
103
104	[[AC:Once Upon a Deadpool]]
105	* Wade kidnaps Creator/FredSavage and traps him in a recreation of the FramingDevice room from ''Film/ThePrincessBride'' in an attempt to recapture its "child-like innocence".
106	* Fred compares the Fox-made Marvel movies to Music/TheBeatles... produced by Music/{{Nickelback}}.
107	* Wade tells an elderly woman holding balloons that he loved her work in ''WesternAnimation/{{Up}}''.
108	* Fred says he'd like to fight Creator/MattDamon, but with "fight" being bleeped by Deadpool, it makes it sound like the infamous song [[Creator/SarahSilverman "I am Fucking Matt Damon".]]
