Seeing and hearing Robert Downey Jr. act in blackface was what mostly got me excited. That probably makes me racist, but he’s ridiculously awesome and I’m not afraid to say it.

Unfortunately, seeing a different (non red-band) trailer this past weekend made the movie look a bit worse. Pineapple Express was starting to look like the surefire comedy winner of the summer, especially after how horrifically mediocre Stepbrothers was.

This clip has changed everything:
