***After Max and Thor capture Ape and go on a false trail leading back to George's treehouse, the narrator begins to tell of the poachers' defeat when Thor interrupts and says, "Why don't you say something constructive for a change, like what we should do now?"

Max then berates Thor for fighting with him, but Thor replies that the narrator started it, resulting in another argument.

***He introduces us to Lyle Van de Groot and shows a recap scene of him falling into the elephant droppings in the jungle, much to Lyle's annoyance, as he had always felt humiliated by the experience ever since. The narrator is then heard chuckling.
***When N'Dugo, Kip, and Baleto push Beatrice Stanhope off a cliff, he tells them that Beatrice can't die in the film as there would be no story.
***He asks George if he wants to explain how he un-hypnotized Ursula, but Lyle interrupts and crosses the line when he tells the narrator that his constant alliteration is annoying. In response, his hand, surrounded by little angels that look like Cupid, reaches out and pulls Lyle by his underwear up into the sky, removing him from the story (though in a blooper, Lyle's underwear rips from his grip and he falls from the sky). The narrator then asks if there is anyone else who wants to criticize him. The others shake their heads and murmur that they don't.

**There are several moments in the film where Deadpool breaks the fourth wall. Some include:
***Early in the film, Blind Al asks Wade if he wants to make cocaine, only for Wade to refute by saying Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige forbade any use of cocaine in the film, and when Al tries to circumvent the issue by using euphemisms, Wade argues Marvel Studios knows all terms for cocaine.
***After saying "Suck it Fox!" Wade grabs the boom mic and declares "I'm goin' to Disneyland!" he then headbutts the camera and says "Get fucked!".
***Upon meeting a Wolverine variant portrayed by Henry Cavill, Deadpool claims he will be treated much better than by "those shitfucks down the street", alluding to Cavill's troubles with WB and the when he portrayed Superman, and also referencing Ryan Reynolds’s own career as Green Lantern in the infamous 2011 film.
***Deadpool mentions Loki Season 1 Episode 5 after hearing about Alioth.
***After Johnny Storm is killed by Cassandra Nova, Deadpool says this Chris is not his favorite, mentioning Johnny's portrayer, Chris Evans. He also justifies provoking his death by claiming he was too expensive.
****In the Latin Spanish dub, Deadpool's line "Do you know what he was doing to the budget?" was instead replaced with, "¡Nos confundía con esa voz!" (He was confusing us with that voice!). This was changed due to the fact José Antonio Macías mostly dubs both Ryan Reynolds and Chris Evans in Latin Spanish dubs. 
***** Pepe Toño previously voiced both Reynolds and Evans in Free Guy.
***Deadpool says there are 206 bones in the human body, while gaining an extra bone if he's watching , in which Ryan Reynolds's wife Blake Lively stars.
***Nicepool looks directly at the camera when he mentions The Proposal film.
***After Deadpool meets Blade, he says "I don't like you." Deadpool says "You never did." This is a nod to , where Wesley Snipes hated working with Ryan Reynolds.
***When Deadpool finds Wolverine awake, he says, “Welcome to the MCU, by the way. You’re joining at a bit of a low point.” This is a little jab at how the MCU was falling apart at some projects, from 2023-Present.
****In the Canadian French dub, the line about the MCU and it's jeopardy, was instead replaced with "It's like Fox, [except] richer, classier, and without Bryan Singer." Bryan Singer was the director of multiple X-Men films.
***Deadpool says that Logan had "let himself go since the divorce", referencing Hugh Jackman's separation with his wife Debora-Lee Furness.
***Deadpool asks Dogpool who she wants to be her owner: the "original recipe", referring to himself, or "Van Milder," referring to Nicepool. This is a reference to the film Van Wilder, in which Reynolds portrayed the titular character.
