The humor wasn't really that great - the Rosie O'Donnell crack could probably use some updating - and Deadpool's insult to Colossus and the later line from Blind Al relied a bit too much on "gay panic" for 2015.
But Reynolds and company looked like they were having so much fun I think it is going to be extremely easy to get caught up in the silliness. I viewed the two super-serious trailers from DC before this one and it was certainly a breath of fresh air in comparison. I though Deadpool was the big winner among the upcoming CBMS.
There were definitely some jokes that fell flat on their face (the aforementioned Rosie O'Donnell line, the closing bit about touching himself) but I can forgive a few flubs if everything else is that excellent.
You bring up something here that I think is key - you can tell the film makers and the cast are reveling in this. Reynolds truly loves this character, and it shows. I've never been a big fan of him as an actor but this might finally be the perfect vehicle for him.
All that said, my favorite joke was TJ Millers about Wade looking like a topical map of Utah. I wouldn't be surprised if that was an ad lib on TJs part, he's one of my favorite comedians.
