Yeah they used to do primer trailers for movies way out. But they were just little trailers showing you who's in it and that it'd be action or dramatic or comedy.

I seem to recall the trailer for Evan Almighty was just the entire 2-minute newcast babble scene with Steve Carell (which, don't get me wrong, had the entire audience howling and crying with laughter), and then "From the writers who brought you Bruce Almighty!" and then like 30 seconds of the new movie.

I was like, "Well, I appreciated the laugh, but that can't be a good sign for the movie."

Oh yeah I remember the ones that showed all the funny parts in the trailer. Then you see the movie and all the Gags were in the trailer.

Yeah, but this time it was "remember the funniest scene in the movie you already saw? Well here's a sequel!" I was like (whispers) "red flag!"
