By now, you've heard of (and probably signed) the petition to have Deadpool - the character, not necessarily actor Ryan Reynolds without the costume - host Saturday Night Live. Well, Reynolds is playing along with a new tweet that includes a video ranting about Deadpool's influence, and it is amazing.
Actually DEADPOOL was going to host back in the 90s, but then this happened. Thank god Tom Hanks was available.https://t.co/7pyPEMysdY

If you've been under a rock for the last week, this is a parody almost word-for-word, or at least sentiment-for-sentiment taking down Kanye West. The rapper apparently had a meltdown of a rant backstage at SNL that was recorded and released online, saying he is "50 percent more influential" than Stanley Kubrick, Picasso, Apostle Paul, and Escobar. He also called Taylor Swift a "fake ass" and told production staff not to "f*** with me."
In Reynolds' rant, he calls Rip Taylor a fake ass, and said he's more influential than MC Hammer, the KIA Sorrento, Barbara Bush, and more, with some great percentages along for the ride.
Check it out, and keep hoping that SNL producers and bookers can make this happen. Maybe Reynolds-as-Deadpool can even do a Ye song.
Deadpool is in theaters now.
