    I’m not sure Seth MacFarlane can quite pull off the ZAZ dumb humor, but no one thought of Leslie Nielsen as a comedic actor before Airplane, so I can give Liam Neeson a chance in the role.

    I definitely think the weak link will be Seth McFarlane. You can see in the trailer that there are a lot of jokes that lean more into the sophmoric rather than the absurd.

    Also, it feels too angry.

      Mom can we get some Leslie Nielsen?

      Sorry, best I can do is Liam Neeson.

      Same initials at least, but Neeson does do comedy, I'll give it a shot

        I made it to the part where Liam rips the arms off the bad guy and stopped watching. That's only ten seconds into the trailer!

          "I went up and down areas with a cosh, hoping I'd be approached by somebody - I'm ashamed to say that - and I did it for maybe a week, hoping some [uses air quotes with fingers] 'black bastard' would come out of a pub and have a go at me about something, you know? So that I could kill him." - Liam Nelson

            I like the jokes they're making, as there seems to be hope that it's a spiritual successor rather than just another sequel/rehash.
            One can hope. Loved the originals.

                It’s that serious delivery he does so well lol. This Ted 2 scene was brilliant

                  It's nice to see those ridiculous gags, just simple stuff. Old movie before was either catch the joke or miss it. This trailer is pretty basic tho.

                  I just hope it doesn't get cringe.

                    He was also really good on his episode of Derry Girls. If this movie isn't funny, I don't think it'll be his fault.

                      I am not sure it is possible to still make these kinds if movies today. They get cringey so damn fast, not sure why. Was the same with the new Mel Brooks series on Netflix. Forgot the name, just full of cringe masturbation jokes, it's just all very dated humor.
