    Best Boy, Schmest Boy. I’m watching True Grit and Buster Coen is in the credits as “Mr. Damon’s Abs Double.”

    The Zucker Brothers always had gags hidden in their end credits. I think it was either The Naked Gun or Airplane that had a cookie recipe hidden in there. Another had instructions for what to do in case of tornado.

    Deadpool and Deadpool 2 (especially the first one) were both funny with the gags in the opening credits.

    Green Acres got a little goofy with the opening credits. They would do weird stuff like have "Directed by Richard L. Bare" written on one of the chicken's eggs that Lisa picked up, the characters acted as if they saw those words.

    Here is the clip from the first one.



    Got this off IMDB.

    "The opening credits are placeholders for what was in the script, since Director Tim Miller (who asked Blur Studio's Layout Supervisor Franck Balson to remove his quickly) and Ryan Reynolds were the only ones. "As written by Deadpool"; "Some douchebag's film, Starring God's perfect idiot (referring to Ryan. Accompanied by an Easter Egg of Ryan's People Magazine cover as Sexiest Man Alive.); "A hot chick"; "A British villain"; "The comic relief"; "A moody teen"; "A CGI character"; "A gratuitous cameo"; "Produced by asshats"; "Written by the real heroes here"; "Directed by an overpaid tool". There are Easter Eggs as well: The card in the wallet of Ryan in a green suit, a blurry Killebrew being on the phone, the thug with the lighter was originally a filmed joke in reference to Colin Farrell in Daredevil (2003), "Rob L." on the coffee cup is Rob Liefeld, the little sex key-chain, the Orange Number 5 card, and the Hello Kitty."

    Also, there is a crawl of text at the beginning of the Deadpool 2 teaser than ran with Logan. I was looking for the text from Deadpool 2 (which I don't see online anywhere yet) and found this.

    What Does The End Scroll Say On Deadpool's Logan Short?

    The Deadpool 2 opening credits are mostly comments about the event right before they roll set against what looks and sounds like the beginning of a Bond movie.

    Police squad intros were brilliant as well.

    That "Rex Hamilton as Abraham Lincoln" part gets me every time.

    And I hadn't noticed before that "Special Guest Stars" Lorne Greene and William Conrad did identical death scenes.

    Not true. Conrad did an extra half-roll and ended up face down rather than on his side.
