MacGruber Trailer Takes an Upper-Decker in the Red-Band Toilet
From the minds of WIll Forte, an SNL staff writer, and one of the Lonely Island guys comes a fashionably late television show parody sketch taken to its logical and inevitable conclusion: expensive motion picture. Angus MacGuyver may not have ever made it the big show, but his proudly tardy spoof counterpart MacGruber has got that shit covered.
In this special 30x longer installment of MacGruber, the titular special operative is tasked with confronting the evil Deiter Von Cunth who, on top of having a name that's conspicuously close to offensive slang for the babyhole, has stolen a nuclear warhead and plans to level Washington D.C.
The trailer's jokes may rely a bit too much on MacGruber's blithe ignorance in conversation, but there are a few moments of genuine hilarity when Forte takes advantage of the film's presumed R rating. Because if anything can lift a Saturday Night Live movie above the doldrums of It's Pat or Night at the Roxbury, it's un-bleeped F-words.
And Ryan Phillipe.
No watching this trailer unless you're legally allowed to smoke and buy this month's Hustler, OK?
