Hot Tub Time Machine 2 - Red Band Trailer
If you thought Hot Tub Time Machine was raunchy, the latest Hot Tub Time Machine 2 trailer gives us a peek at the even more ridiculously inappropriate sequel. Be warned, if you’re not in a secure place to view topless women or hear jokes about how a bald Clarke Duke looks like "Michael Chiklis fucked Big Daddy Warbucks who fucked Lex Luthor," then you should hold off for a while. Yeah, it’s pretty NSFW. The latest Hot Tub Time Machine 2 trailer is short enough to take up a brief TV spot but packed with enough cusses, inappropriate jokes (one about cancer patients), drug use and boobs to last you the weekend. Not much is really all that new, though. The sequel sees the return of buddies Lou (Rob Corddry), Jacob (Clark Duke) and Nick (Craig Robinson), as they head into the future. Since the first film, they’ve all risen to the top of their respective fields, thanks to using intimate knowledge of history to manipulate the past. Now, the hot tub whisks them 10 years down the road in order to stop an unknown assailant from shooting and killing Lou.
