The joke itself isn't off-brand, but the fact its dragged out for so long is. Borderland's humor isn't exactly clever, but its at least fairly fast paced so you aren't left sitting there on the same awful joke.
Also, keep in mind that if they're including this in multiple trailers, they think this is one of the highlights of the movie - that is the more concerning point.
A dumb thing done quickly is funny. They draw this out like it's peter griffin after scraping his knee. It's just painfully unfunny.
Plus the knee scrape was at least self aware. It way overstays it's welcome on purpose and then overstays even more making it funny again. Only works the first time you watch it though.
Good points.
I guess I'm just sick of all the pre-hate from people who have probably never created a single thing in their entire lives.
Personally I'm looking forward to smoking a bowl, ordering a pizza, and watching the stupid movie.
def the only way I'd watch this, but only if it's already on streaming I have. this cut is also so devoid of all the things that makes the game great, it makes me wonder if there's a lot more but the promotion is afraid to embrace the borderlands WTFery
