I'm a huge Mark Wahlberg fan but boy, does Will Ferrell annoy the piss out of me.

But I thought Wahlberg was "the guy who does his job"?

Looks awesome, and Ferrell usually annoys me. Def going to check it out.

Like most trailers for films, it could be a hilarious film, or it could stink.

I like the cast and the premise.

I like Will Ferrell and I really liked 'Step Brothers' and 'Talladega'.

Saw this trailer last night and this has shot up to the most anticipated comedy of the year, after Kick-Ass.

I hated every second of Step Brothers, but this one looks like it's going to be very entertaining.

I really like McKay. Step Brothers is top-quality modern adult comedy. T. Nights is really funny too. Most comedies nowadays just ask that you politely laugh. Few movies actually deserve it.

The delivery of "someone call 9-1-holy-shit" is totally McKay. There's something sardonic and careless about the way his actors deliver lines.

I still want to see another crazy-awesome action-comedy, like Bad Boys or True Lies. The Other Guys looks like it's not going to play it too straight. But that may just be the trailer. I can imagine some awesome, straight-faced action potential from Jackson, The Rock and Wahlberg. Can't imagine Ferrell playing anything but silly. We'll see.

Oh, and a Michael Keaton role (cameo?) is awesome.

I want to see it, but what was the point of teasing me with an awesome Dwayne Johnson/Sam Jackson buddy cop movie for the first thirty seconds? After that the rest of the trailer was just disappointing.

I love the ending with the explosion...

"Ahh...How do they walk away in movies without flinching when it explodes behind them?! There's no way! The movie industry is completely irresponsible for the way they portray explosions!"

I've become really sick of Ferrell as of late, but that looked great. Also, Steve Coogan and Michael Keaton. I'm there.

They're rival cops.

Hardly. It's an immature and juvenile movie with a horrible script. Not even that funny.

This looks like a step up to Anchorman and I like the cast. And finallly looks like Ferrell is doing quality again.

I know. I just wish they hadn't teased me with the possibility of a Dwayne Johnson/Sam Jackson buddy cop flick.

I hated Step Brothers and thought Talladega Nights was only just decent. However, this looks great.

I'm with the majority -- the trailer piqued my interest. I loved it when Ferrell's wife came out. "Seriously, who ARE you?"

Hm I liked that trailer, I'm surprised since the premise sounds dumb.

It actually didn't look that funny. Looked like Walhberg was completely riffing his character from The Departed, but not well. Also, that trailer was all over the place.

What's with all the love for Step Brothers? Aside from some funny moments, the film was a stinker.

MacGruber remains my most anticipated comeday.
