The New 21 Jump Street Trailer Is About As Funny as Richard Greico Looks

What is this, people? ANSWER ME. This is not 21 Jump Street. At least not the 21 Jump Street I knew. This is a badly written Superbad, only Skinny Jonah and Charming Potato are cops, except that they’re in high school, so it’s just Superbad with guns. It doesn’t make any sense. Where’s the Holly Robinson character? The Dustin Nguyen character? THEY MAY AS WELL HAVE BEEN REMAKING NEVER BEEN KISSED AS A BROMANCE.

This isn’t right. This is bullsh*t. Bull. Sh*t.

Ron Swanson is in it, though, which is neat, except that he has to deliver the embarrassing, “Down on Jump Street” line. Ron Swanson should never have to deliver embarrassing lines. Three hobos die every time Ron Swanson is forced to do something humiliating. WHO WILL THINK OF THE HOBOS?

Dustin,i'm with you:i don't remember that 21 JS was like this trailer

I have to admit. I laughed a couple times. I'm not sure whether to be ashamed for that or hopeful for this movie.

it *appears* entertaining.

but that may just be smoke and mirrors.

I laughed a few times, too. It just seems like someone was affected by cryptomnesia.

"Hey, I got this great script I drafted over the weekend about older people going undercover in a high school! Great idea, right?!"

"Sounds like 21 Jump Street, dude."

"Fuck, you're right..."

"So...just get the rights to do a 21 Jump Street remake, dude."

Fuck, you're right!"

This looks like it might be entertaining, but yeah, not really 21 Jump Street. Also, did anyone else think Ice Cube was a terrible actor from those lines "undercover high school stew-dunts" and "twitta-sphfear"? He's stressing every syllable.

Yeah. No.

I think of hobos all the time. It's a little known fact that hobo meat, despite (or perhaps because of), a life of alcohol soaked aimless wandering and sleeping rough, is among the most tender of indigent meats.

I've said too much, haven't I?

I will never tire of watching Jonah Hill get hit by a car. Never, not ever.

That said, I also think I'm a few I.Q. points lighter after watching this trailer. But I'm going to watch it, anyway. On cable.

Um, Richard Grieco looks much MUCH worse than this movie. Holy shit.

Good Lord, Greico!

It's like Mickey Rourke and Donatella Versace had a kid, drop kicked it into the meth tree and then backed over it with the douche wagon when it fell out.

By the way, having a movie's trailer call itself out on some of its own plot-holes or shortcomings doesn't make it a better movie. If it did, there would be all sorts of trailers that would just consist of the cast members looking directly into the camera and say, "THIS MOVIE IS STUPID! LOGIC IS FOR PUSSIES! FARTS MAKE UP FOR LACK OF PUNCHLINES! THIS STORY MAKES NO SENSE! STARRING PARIS HILTON!"

Apparently the guy who greenlit Starksy and Hutch still has his job.

Lets have undercover, of age, police officers serve alcohol to minors!

That sounds totally legit.

Posted by: DeistBrawler at November 3, 2011 12:15 PM

Donatella Versace, bleujayone? That's just mean.

I'm hoping this fails harder than the Green Hornet crap.

Ron Swanson looks like Danny McBride in 10 years.

Are we sure that Greico picture isn't from some The Fly remake? He sure looks like a chimp accidentally got into a teleporter with him.

This trailer makes Potato seems self-aware. I can't believe I laughed out loud when Jonah tried the slide, oh smash.

I would like to issue a formal apology to Ian Somerhoderling. He is NOT aging as poorly as Richard Grieco.

Posted by: anikitty at November 3, 2011 4:29 PM

I was so shocked, I forgot what he used to look like. Awful actor nonetheless
