Exactly, it's a movie trope. :D
I don't watch TV so I only saw the trailer online. I went pretty much on faith in the director, and I wasn't disappointed. And yeah, trailers are pretty bad, particularly for comedies. The problem with it is that good comedic pacing is hard to reduce to little one-liners. It's funnier if an idea is introduced at one point and brought back later in regards to an underlying plot. A lot of the zany humor seen in trailers just makes me want to roll my eyes.
In a lame trailer I saw recently, the humor they were trying to inject in Green Hornet made me want to groan. I think one line got a chuckle out of me, but christ that looks bad. Hopefully this trend of super-hero movies will die down soon enough. There was a trailer for Thor that went along with it, so :crap:
