All my friends are excited and I'm like "Why do they keep trying to make these movies funny? The comics were all about humanizing C-list villains and were mainly dramatic."
Like, DC is trying real hard to pull the "Wacky Ha Ha" Deadpool style market WHEN EVEN THE BEST FUCKING DEADPOOL COMICS HAD SOME ACTUAL FUCKING PATHOS IN THEM
Hot take but the original Deadpool comics weren't funny (probably because, as my friend put it, the authors are artists and not comedians). I read a number of them and....yeah he's no spider-man (I looked up specifically the earliest ones so I could keep them in chronological order, so perhaps the later ones were funny?).
Yeah, now he's mainly wacky goofy man, but his early solo comics by Fabian Nicieza are actually full of really good writing and turned Deadpool from a rip-off of Deathstroke The Terminator into more of a sad clown type.

Absolutely, it was more absurd than funny.
