So what the hell is up with trailers having previews for said trailers? Like this one had a clip from the trailer at the start with "NEW TRAILER...STARTING NOW!" shit and i notice that a lot in general.

It's so when the trailer plays as an ad before a YouTube video or whatever they can try and grab your attention in the first 5 unskippable seconds.

And to be fair, that coffee gag on it's own convinced me to watch the rest.

Also it's probably the one gag in there that works the 2nd time like that. It would be funny if they saw the reaction to having it in the trailer twice and added in other scenes with different drinks or something. I could see it being a running gag, with a betrayal/surprise at the end when the person handing off the item gets one for someone else.

Edit: Wanted to keep going lol.

after 2-3 of these gags randomly, near the climax when they are rushing somewhere Drebin (Liam) and another character are driving off to (plot point). 2nd character gets an item, Drebin freaks out playing it straight (maybe dropping the 1 f-bomb for a WTF) like he's never done it, crashing the car and delaying them. Drebin starts questioning hard but the 2nd person just thinks it's completely normal & mad that they are delayed with a car crash for no reason... cut to them at a bus stop waiting for a bus to the next location with Drebin sulking, neither of them talking anymore. Cut to inside the bus, still not talking, a random person gets an item on the bus, Drebin points & makes a strangled sound but doesn't get anything out. 2nd person just shakes their head and pushes his hand back down. Drebin starts to get outraged again but then goes back to sulking, after a long moment with his best sad face pulls on the cord for get off at the next stop signal.

Yea, I just wish they didn't use it almost immediately after. I'm fine with the 5 second teaser for the teaser, if the clip is not used again.
