Well punth me in the cunth, today sure seems to be a popular day for trailers.  A few more of these and your mom might start hanging around here.  (Get it? Trailers?  Your mom?  Zing?)  Anyway, this is the latest red-band trailer for MacGruber (opens May 21st), which once sounded like a really bad idea, but based on early buzz, sounds like it might be pretty funny.  Amazing what a good early buzz will do for my mood, huh?  (Get it?  Early buzz?  Zing?)  Sorry, I’ve been drinking.

And no dude, I’m not pronouncing your name “FILL uh pee”.  This is one of the few times the French pronunciation actually sounds less silly.  You don’t like it you can go cry to Eye-an Ziering.

Making a movie out of Macgruber seemed like a dumb idea to me — I always thought the sketch was heavy on the cute gimmick and light on the comedy.  But when they hired The Lonely Island’s Jorma Taccone to direct and made it a hard-R rating with Val Kilmer playing a villain named Dieter Von Cunth, suddenly it was interesting.  It premiered at SXSW, and the reviews are just now starting to trickle in like pee on the end of my wiener when I don’t shake it off long enough:

This is the official first trailer for Macgruber, which is a bit of a letdown after we’ve already seen the much more promising red-band trailer from a few days ago.  Trying to watch the PG trailer for an R-rated comedy after you’ve already seen the red-band version is like a hooker you paid to take a dump on your coffee table that wants to show you how well she can cuddle.  Go away, crazy lady, that’s what the stuffed animals are for.

Fun fact: Val Kilmer loved the ponytail look because it kept him from getting guacamole in his hair.

I’ll be honest, I thought making a movie out of the MacGruber sketches was a colossally stupid idea at first.  But let one of the Lonely Island guys direct, throw in fat Val Kilmer as a villain named “Dieter von Cunth”, and make it a hard-R rating, suddenly I’m cautiously optimistic.  I also love Kristen Wiig whenever she’s not playing Gilly or the Target lady.  I guess what I’m saying is that the MacGruber movie is like an adorable puppy with a bow on it.  I’m ready to let it into my heart, but if it can’t be potty trained, I’m selling it to the Vietnamese restaurant.  …What?  What’d  I say?  Was it the puppy thing?

I’ll post an embed as soon as it’s up, but for now you have to watch the trailer here. Update: Including the Trailer Addict version after the jump.

Cautious optimism is kind of like walking around your apartment with a boner.  You’re hoping you’ll get to use it, but until then, any sudden movement will make you flinch like a mother.
