“You’re going to take your two weeks paid vacation and your five sick days to start off?” One thing The Dark Knight was lacking was f-bombs. Enter Will Ferrell, who is getting slammed in our comments section as of late, and John C. Reilly, playing a manchild named Dale, in next weekend’s cuss-fest Step Brothers. The film is tracking in line with Ferrell’s R-rated wipeout Semi-Pro, but early WOM on this film amongst people who know the funny is strong. This here clip is an upgraded version of the “job interview in tuxedo” scenes, and it will add a NSFW sparkle to your 9-to-5 smile.
Discuss: Did you laugh or drool? Going to see Step Brothers?

Im first but who really cares when its something to do with Will Ferrell. Im tired of his movies and this looks like his last descent movie. Hopefully his last as well as i have gotten bored with his humor and acting being much the same in his movies. RIP Will Farewell

I laughed, I hope it doesn’t flop like other Will Ferrel movies do.

…Not bad!

The lack of f-bombs is welcomed in TDK in my opinion. It surely adds to the classiness of the film. Hasn’t anyone ever told you? Swearing makes ignorance audible. I know, profound.

Laughing Octopus dropped the F-bomb. I think everyone has to sometimes.

Laughing Octopus dropped an F-bomb. I think every property is entitled to it sometimes. The trailer doesn’t seem like it relies on the word that heavily until the last part.

“These are words that people use to express frustration, rage, and anger, so they don’t take a tire iron and beat the shit out of somebody.”

This looks wonderful. And Semi-Pro actually had some very funny moments.
July 21st, 2008 at 4:19 pm
Meh, I think it seems forced. Almost awkward. Just like in Semi pro when he calls them cocksuckers for doing the whole “mutiny” bit, it didn’t fit.
A proper F-bomb - when John McClane says motherfucker - you know he means it. When Frank the Tank told the lady in the grocery store parking lot that he was going to fucking kill her if she told anyone - it flowed. The awkwardness in this trailer actually made me like the movie LESS and I was totally looking forward to it.

for me, this could be the first time vulgar language is NOT adding to the comedy. it really doesn’t make anything funnier
July 21st, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Does farting count? Because that’s what this trailer made em do.
July 21st, 2008 at 4:52 pm
I giggled, but it’s easy to giggle at brief spurts of manchild comedy.
A whole movie of manchild comedy? Mm, I’m not sold. I’ll wait for
DVD and go see TDK again.

looks funny but i’m going on vacation and by the time i come back, this will probably be out of theaters
July 21st, 2008 at 8:14 pm
Not bad. Definite proof that people think just throwing random F-Bombs can sell a movie though. Didn’t sell Semi Pro….

@Jeff
I agree that it made me want to see the movie less. The trailers ive seen make it seem pretty funny.
But ill prolly see it regardless, can’t be worse than Semi-Pro.. right?

The first teaser made me laugh out loud, which was odd because I find Will Ferrell comedies to be extremely lame. I was holding out a tiny bit of hope, until I saw this.
July 22nd, 2008 at 7:26 am
I really enjoy McKay and I really liked the red band trailer. I’ll be going.

I have posted this before, and I shall post it whenever I see a Will Ferrell talkback.
Fuck Will Ferrell. Fuck him in his stupid ass.

Wow. There seems to be a lot of hate for the Will Ferrell on this page. Here’s the thing. StepBrothers isn’t Laurence Of Arabia. You can see from the trailer that the movie is going to be retarded. That’s what I expected and thats what I got. Just set your brain for retard, Sit back the movie is really enjoyable. I hope Will Ferrell and John C Reily continue to make comedies together. They have a great chemistry and feed off each other very well. It is hard to make me laugh. I laughed quite a bit. So the movie was funny.

Seems that “setting your brain for retard” comes naturally to you, but it still doesn’t excuse the existence of Will Ferrell or his shit films.
