In today’s edition of JAMBIT (just put that together, pretty proud of ourselves) we’ll be examining the new red band trailer for “Step Brothers”, starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly. Our thoughts after the video. (NSFW Audio)

What We Know:

• The two stars share a real life man love for one another that appears to know no bounds (read: handjobs).
• Adam McKay, the director, is the same dude who directed ‘Anchorman’ and ‘Talledega Nights’, which means ‘Step Brothers’ probably won’t win any awards, but might contribute some new tremendously repeatable one-liners to the verbal arsenal of unoriginal white dudes across the country (i.e. “Milk was a bad choice” and “I wake up in the morning and I piss excellence”)
• Will Ferrell is reaching Adam Sandler levels of overexposure.
• Strategically placed f-bombs have the ability to turn a slightly funny movie into a pretty funny movie.
• Drum cymbals to the head and tuxes to an interview are a good time.
• We fucking love John Stamos references.

What We Can Guess:

• This movie will adhere to the “Frat Pack” formula where it is required to become dramatically less funny as the storyline develops.
• If the opportunity presented itself we’d probably bang Mary Steenburgen.
• After a certain number of roundhouse kicked produce and crashed bunk beds, the physical comedy will get a little stale.
• ‘Step Brothers’ will outperform ‘Semi-Pro’ in the box office, but not by a helluva lot.

What’s Unclear:

• Whether the trailer gave away every funny scene.
• Whether starring in even the funniest movie ever made could get Will Ferrell out of his current overexposure rut.
• How many times we’ll be able to refer to something as “sucking camel dick” before it gets played.
