Aziz Ansari had a pretty hilarious take on the new "G.I. Joe" trailer, taking to Twitter to share his reactions as he watched .
The trailer for "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" hit the web yesterday, and we already took a turn noting some of the clip's cheesy (but awesome!) lines. Among the most notable lines: "What if the president isn't the president?" "This is it, boys. This is what we waited for." And, perhaps most memorably: "Boom."
Though Ansari's tweets are sure to please his fans, they raise an interesting point: Will movie studios soon be paying comics and other celebrities to draw attentions to their trailers? We've already seen a huge increase in pre-release footage, with teasers for trailers and stills seemingly being released every single day. And, of course, no one would be surprised if studios are calling in favors from celebrities in their wheelhouses.
Take a look at Aziz's tweets and let us know what you think in the comments.
