comment
Breaking the Fourth Wall: When Stan Lee cameos to say "Wow, nice suit!" during Deadpool's charge, Deadpool stops and shouts "Zip it, Stan Lee!" before continuing to run towards the scene of the crime he was trying to stop. Wade tries to call a member of the real life wardrobe department who helps his actor Ryan Reynolds get into the Deadpool costume. When Deadpool starts talking about Wolverine, he once again breaks into an Australian accent, in reference to Wolverine's actor Hugh Jackman.

Black Comedy: Two instances: It turns out that the man getting mugged has been shot and killed by the time Deadpool finally changes into his costume. When he finds the man's corpse, Deadpool admits that maybe he should've called 911, before lying down with his head on the man's stomach and eating the ice cream the man was carrying.

Fake-Out Opening: To some who've seen it before Logan. It seems the movie opens with how a typical mutant now lives in the post-virus world. Until we see him pull down his hood, revealing to be Deadpool.note "Wait, Deadpool is in this movie too?", a surprised viewer might think.

Instant Costume Change: Deliberately spoofed. Deadpool tries to pull the Superman instant costume change in a phone booth, only for it to take over one minute. By the time Deadpool is suited up, the victim he was trying to save has been shot dead, and the mugger who killed him is long gone.

Redundant Parody: Given the music playing, Deadpool's mocking the oft-parodied "Superman in the Phone Booth" scene that only gets brought up nowadays to be mocked. Ironic, given that the film the music comes from also spoofed the phone booth trope.

Changing Clothes Is a Free Action: The short is basically one big parody of this concept, showing how it would not apply and cause significant problems for superheroes in the real world who lack the super speed to pull it off.

Rule of Funny: The central joke is how long it would take a relatively normal person to change in a phone booth, realistically. But Wade still manages to fit two large swords in a small backpack. Invoked when Wade also lampshades the fact that a phone booth even exists in 2017.

Soundtrack Dissonance
 Deadpool: No Good Deed / int_abad35b4
comment
Soundtrack Dissonance: The heroic "St Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)" by John Parr plays over Deadpool desperately running over to try to save the mugging victim. This is a downplayed case, as the lyrics themselves indicate that it's too late to save the victim. "You're So Cool" by Hans Zimmer from True Romance plays as Deadpool admits that he probably should have called the police, until the teaser ends.

Parody

comment
Parody: The short is one for Spider-Man's origin story. Both involve an old man being murdered. While Peter had no clue that his actions could have far-reaching consequences, Wade is a few yards away from the scene and still taking his own sweet time. While that story was the Trope Namer for (With Great Power) Comes Great Responsibility, this teaser is officially named "No Good Deed" (Goes Unpunished).

Shout-Out
 Deadpool: No Good Deed / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: While Deadpool dons his costume in the phone booth, the John Williams Superman theme plays. Deadpool is listening to "St Elmo's Fire" by John Parr and/or "Angel of the Morning" by Juice Newton, depending on the version. "You're So Cool" by Hans Zimmer from True Romance plays at the end of the teaser. At the end, Deadpool steals a quart of Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia Ice Cream from the dead mugging victim he inadvertently failed to save. The Freeze-Frame Bonus at the conclusion of the short is a book report by Wade on Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea.
