Harold and Kumar Go to YouTube with a New Trailer!
Filed under: Comedy, Fandom, Trailer Trash, Movie Marketing
Guess who's back? That's right, Harold and Kumar are gearing up for another wild adventure -- except this time "they're running from the joint." The first teaser trailer for Harold and Kumar 2 (which, at one point, was called Harold and Kumar Go to Amsterdam) has arrived on YouTube (you know what that means -- catch it while you can), and based on what we see, it appears we're in store for a lot more of the same goofy humor that made the original Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle an instant cult classic.
Basically, Harold and Kumar attempt to get on a plane and go to Amsterdam, except some old lady freaks out and thinks Kumar's a terrorist. So, from there, they show us Rob Corddry behind a piece of interrogation glass cracking some joke about North Korea and Al Qaeda working together. Perhaps the greatest part of the entire teaser (and those fans of the original probably know where I'm heading with this) is the re-introduction of Neil Patrick Harris ... as himself. Yup, before the teaser cuts out, there's Harris -- behind the wheel of a car -- looking all coked up and out of his mind, as per usual. I wouldn't go touting this as a must-see comedy; I think the Harold and Kumar shtick is geared toward a particular audience (ahem, stoners), and I wouldn't expect any ground-breaking comedic moments. But the boys have their fans, and those fans will definitely be interested in seeing them up on the big screen one more time. Me? I'll be waiting for DVD ... for obvious reasons.

Never smoked a joint in my life - hell I've never done drugs - and I love the first flick. Christopher Meloni's character alone was worth the film. FWIW, my bland conservative friends all love it too. The flick's fun and for once the main characters ARE intelligent. Maybe we could all relate to wandering around in the middle of the night looking for that food product we declared manna. i know after a night of partying in Paris I was jonesing for tacos - a common after-club activity in San Diego. Ever try to find a 24 hour restaurant in Paris? Or just find good ole-fashioned greasy-made-with-rat-like-beef-substitute tacos in Paris? It's a pain. I can relate to Harold and Kumar not because of the weed but because I've experienced hours of driving/walking in circles to find the perfect food.

What the first movie so great is how it poked fun at racial stereotyping. It looks like we're in for more of the same - and that's a good thing.

NPH actually looks pretty sober there (especially compared to his X'd out performance in the previous film)
