Casa de mi Padre Trailer Will Appeal to Someone

Among the billions of people populating this green Earth we call home, there's somebody watching the Casa de mi Padre trailer (here from Yahoo! Movies) whose face is blood red from laughing so hard. There has to be. Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and director Matt Piedmont are banking on that. I'm just curious to hear from those who found this trailer funny.

There is a rule of thumb comedy works better played straight than having your principals self-aware of the parody at hand. That's what made Leslie Neilsen so brilliant on Police Squad! and the accompanying Naked Gun films and Robert Stack in Airplane! The cast for the Spanish-language comedy (including Diego Luna, Gael García Bernal and Génesis Rodríguez) have that down pat.

But a feature-length comedy done to the style of telenovelas and played straight? It's risky and fortune can favor the bold.
