Alright, this one is for Call of Duty: Black Ops II.

[Sarcastically] Oh, this sounds good. Is it like the other Call of Duties?

Yeah.

Oh, I’m not going to like this.

What do you know about Call of Duty?

You kill people! No wonder our country’s gone to pot.

[David S. Goyer’s credit appears. He’s the story writer and previously worked on Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.]

It’s the same guy who made Batman?

Well, he wrote the story.

Oh.

Do you know what’s going on?

No. I have no idea. It’s always good versus evil. Is this a war movie?

Yes.

Another war movie?

Game!

What?

It’s a game. Not a movie.

Well, whatever.

It’s in the future, though.

Oh. Well, I won’t be here.

[The trailer ends.]

Now how much does this one cost?

They all cost $60.

Oh my!

What did you think of that one?

Nah.
