Let's pick apart the new Wet Hot American Summer trailer

Wet Hot American Summer is a great American comedy.  What an excellent addition to cinematic history.  I can't emphasize enough what a treasure Wet Hot is to the film community at large.

I was excited about the season on Netflix for a couple reasons.  One, the whole cast is back.  Two, it's a prequel.  I mean, that is genius right there.  Just genius.  Literally genius.  I am not misusing the word genius.  Finally, they added new cast members which, yes, sort of feels like a stunt, but do you see me being mad about it?  Because I'M NOT MAD.  I'm not mad at all.  I am the opposite.

I always love seeing H. Jon Benjamin in person.  Who doesn't?  He's better-looking as a cartoon spy, sure, but his presence is much appreciated.

Paul Rudd's entrance - a week late, ruins a motorcycle, doesn't care about anything and immediately asks "who beefed?" - is everything I've missed about that character.

Are you excited to explore more of Bradley Cooper's character's relationship with Amy Poehler's character AND Michael Ian Black's character?  Because I AM SO EXCITED.  Oh, the beginnings of Bradley being railroaded by terrifying Amy.  Oh, the start of a new romantic adventure between Bradley and Michael.  Oh my god.  How am I supposed to wait 4 weeks.  I can't.

Christopher Meloni's hair before he admits to being in the military?  SO GOOD.  Why won't he admit he was in the military?  No idea, can't wait to find out why.  How we find out he was in the military?  He catches a broom and then spins it in a circle.  Literally.  Like, I think I can do that.  Maybe I was in the military too.

"Tell me you don't want to hack yourself off a slice of this long, greasy dick?" Paul Rudd can seduce anybody with any line.  I'm curious, Paul.  I wouldn't lie to you.

Nurse Nancy gives Elizabeth Banks her diaphragm and Elizabeth Banks squishes it to make sure it works and then calls her a real pal.  That is my favorite scene in the trailer.  Notice how seriously Nurse Nancy takes Elizabeth Banks's "left the ol' diaphragm at home" emergency.  How helpful she is by reaching into her own trousers and pulling out her own diaphragm for Elizabeth.  How Elizabeth throws the diaphragm in the air to evaluate its usefulness and, upon hearing a rather graphic squish, deems it acceptable.  How grateful Elizabeth Banks is for the diaphragm.

Also Elizabeth Banks's outfit is on point.

Kristen Wiig's ability to be the worst and most awkward flirter despite being a very attractive woman is always amazing to watch.  Great addition.

Adding Jordan Peele, John Slattery, Michael Cera, Josh Charles, Chris Pine, Weird Al Yankovic, and Lake Bell are all inspired choices.  Reintroducing Judah Friedlander as Molly Shannon's dipshit of a husband?  Oh god.  Can't wait.

Introducing Jon Hamm?  I don't know, that kid looks like he's got a bright future ahead of him.

Check the trailer out if you like comedy and maybe great storytelling too.
