The Hangover Part II Teaser 

You heard remarks from some, by no means all, saying how Warner Brothers missed the boat during the Superbowl with the absence of TV spots for Green Lantern, Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows – Part II and The Hangover Part II.

I'd say in the case of the first, those complaints are legit. A big-budget comic-book property centered on a superhero not that well-known by the general public, starring an actor yet to make his mark commercially solo and a concept that, on paper, sounds silly. Yeah, that needs to be pushed hard as soon as possible.

But the final Potter installment sells itself (that franchise has been in that luxury position for years), and the Hangover sequel has that delicate balance to walk between letting the audience know it's coming but also making sure not to give practically every joke away in its marketing.

Apple has the teaser in glorious Quicktime and a one-sheet featuring a monkey, which I'm always a sucker for. Noticeably no feces slinging though. Or Mel Gibson. To be fair, that might be intended as a surprise. You can also check the teaser out below. Don't expect much though.
