‘Bad Santa 2’ Green Band Trailer: A Tame Look At The Raunchy Holiday Comedy
Just earlier this weeka new red band trailerfor the long-anticipatedBad Santa 2arrived, and before thatanother raunchy trailershowed us the vulgarity in store for us fromBilly Bob Thornton’s return to the red suit. But for those who can’t watch those kind of trailers at work, or will be waiting for this movie to his basic cable, a newBad Santa 2green band trailer teases the comedy without any of the fun, naughty language or sexual content. But believe it or not, even without the R-rated details, it’s still a pretty funny trailer.
Watch the newBad Santa 2trailer after the jump.
This trailer has some alternate takes that were clearly shot just for the movie’s debut on basic cable, and it also does that thing where it cuts the last word of a sentence, which is clearly the most vulgar part, but still has the reaction from one of the other characters. In this case, it’sChristina Hendricksreacting to something that Billy Bob Thornton says, and while the trailer makes it look like she’s reacting to his comment about the prominent physical features of her chest, it’s more than likely something else offensive. Of course, we know that she’s not entirely turned off by Thornton’s character since heends up having sex with herin an alley next to a dumpster, as evidenced by the most recent red band trailer.
While the comedy ofBad Santa 2will undeniably rely on how raunchy it is, there do appear to be some comedic moments that don’t entirely rely on a guy dressed as Santa Claus being a complete a**hole. But of course, that’s the driving force of the entire premise, and that’s what fans want, so there will be plenty of that to go around. I think the presence ofKathy Bateswill really be what makes this sequel work.
Bad Santa 2is in theatersNovember 23.
Mommy issues arise when the pair are joined by Academy Award, Golden Globe and Emmy-winner Kathy Bates, as Willie’s horror story of a mother, Sunny Soke. A super butch super bitch, Sunny raises the bar for the gang’s ambitions, while somehow lowering the standards of criminal behavior. Willie is further burdened by lusting after the curvaceous and prim Diane, played by Emmy Award-nominee Christina Hendricks, the charity director with a heart of gold and libido of steel.
