Who is the actor doing the "You look like an avocado had sex with an older, uglier avocado" bit in the trailers?

TJ Miller, who has been in a bunch of stuff, but his biggest thing is Silicon Valley on HBO. |

TJ Miller, who has been in a bunch of stuff, but his biggest thing is Silicon Valley on HBO. He gets a lot of voice work, but his biggest movie role was the the guy holding the camera in Cloverfield (IOW, still mostly voice acting except for 30-45 seconds where you can see him). --Dave |

He's Tuffnut !!! HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW TUFFNUT !
In seriousness, he is actually a big draw for me in this, Elena movies aside, due to his work in Silicon Valley, which has to be the funniest show I've seen in a good long while.

He was Stainer in She's Out of my League - a highly underrated sex/young romance comedy for guys.

Got to randomly see an early screening of this last night. It was better than I was expecting and thoroughly enjoyable.
The jokes were funny throughout (assuming you are a 12 year old boy at heart), the action was enjoyable enough (although mad max kinda ruined action movies), and it didn't feel low budget for the most part (the CGI was kinda obvious, but didn't really stick out).
I would easily put it above random stuff like Thor1&2 and IM2&3 for being a tiny bit more original.

Starting Monday, for three hours, Deadpool will be the only advertisement across five different Viacom networks. The shows included are MTV’s “Teen Mom” and “Ridiculousness;” Comedy Central’s “Tosh.0,” “Workaholics” and “@midnight;” VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop;” Logo’s “Golden Girls;” and Spike’s “Cops.” The article states including The Golden Girls is because Deadpool follows TGG on Instagram in the movie, so I'm liking the tie in. Though, this is probably the dumbest thing I've seen from their marketing team. DVRs will make most of this not matter, and those that will/would watch the ad spots would do so because they've knocked every ad out of the park and not because they've been spamming all our shit with them.

Or pre-teens who don't get the concept of fast forwarding or tuning out commercials. Mine is all "OMG aren't you guys excited for this movie?!?!?! Have you seen the commercials!?!" Personally the advertising and marketing did nothing as I hadn't even heard of this movie. The pre-teen who won't shut up about it has ensured that I will never want to see it ;-) |

...I hadn't even heard of this movie.
I didn't know pre-teens exist that don't understand skipping commercials, and the second line makes me miss green text  The Irish/Aussie mixed accent was both awesome and annoying. So it was fitting I guess. Liked the line about Wolverine though |

It feels like the intern wrote all these ads back to back in about 90 mins.
I guess I'm not the audience for this movie.

Watching a few of the adverts almost convinced the husband to come see the movie with me. Which is fine with me, I'm seeing it either way.

The German dub is bad, really bad. Unfortunately the movie is not 'big' enough to warrant the additional costs for theaters to procure and show an original version. Netflix to the rescue.

Holy fuck this is a good movie. While I don't care why, I am curious if it was Betty White's tweets or the advertising campaign during Golden Girls that got the 4-5 80yr old couples in the showing I went to  |

I just saw it in imax in az, the audience was all geriatrics except for the wife and I, and one woman with 2 small children who left in the first scene. Several of the nearly-deads left soon after.
I enjoyed the hell out of it.

Pay attention to the opening credits. Lots of fun Easter eggs. While I don't care why, I am curious if it was Betty White's tweets or the advertising campaign during Golden Girls that got the 4-5 80yr old couples in the showing I went to I, too, experienced this and am curious about it. I was going to ask one of them, but they all took off before the end credits were finished and missed the end scene. Noobs. |

In my experience if you go to earlybird movies, you will have old people in them. They go to movies because it is something to do. Don't even know what it is. New movie? Okay, sounds good. My MIL does this all the time.

It was early, but I expected to have experiences like Merusk and Rattran where the oldies left. But the ones near me stayed the whole time and laughed. It was really weird, but awesome.

Better than it had any right to be. Its the Shriek of marvel movies. Not even remotely tempted to dissect this movie it just works. First Fox Marvel marvel movie that doesn't feel like it'll be better produced by Marvel studios/Disney.

As cliche as this sounds, I think it was good because it was clear that it was a labor of love for the character and material.

Goddamn this was fantastic. The only exposure I've had to the character was the early Liefeld appearances and stuff where he's starred in other people's books but they got that part of the character down perfectly. This is definitely the role Ryan Reynolds was born to play. It's his "THUNDERCUNT" character from Blade 3 given an entire movie to talk shit and it was fucking fantastic. So many good lines and one-liners. I think my favorite so far is "hashtag driveby."
