It's nice to know that some franchises can be successful without being super self-serious

After the Duke Nukem Poo trailer and then this one, I have a lot more trouble arguing with people that think video games are juvenile.
 
It's not going to stop me from buying both though.

ehh they're both bad trailers with little to no real comedic value in my opinion, just suprised at how discerning people are when it comes to indulging in base humour. "
They are two completely different things. This isn't just about a dude getting punched in the junk, its hilarious because they haven't released much info on SR3, so everyone comes to this trailer expecting to see something, they are prompted by a warning message, which gets everyone excited, then they sit through like 30 seconds of really drawn out company nameplates all the while building excitement, and then...
 
1SECONDNUTSHOTBAM! and that's it. That is a classic comedic move. Pretty awesome.

The 'Search SAINTS ROW' at the end had a distinct AOL keyword vibe to it.

Duke's trailer is just a dumb, drawn out joke compared to this.
 
Edit: Kind of like Bulletstorm's whole publicity campaign actually.
