“Captain America: The First Avenger” Meets Team America Part II

Super Bowl XLV gave us our first look at Captain America: The First Avenger, but the T.V. spot was a bit too fast and movie goers who are awaiting the film’s release felt that it wasn’t given the justice it deserved. Youtube user CelticPredator created a parody of that T.V. spot and not only did it make the spot funnier, but it also made it better. CelticPredator has incorporated “America, Fuck Yeah” by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, from their film Team America: World Police into the T.V. spot. Of course Marvel or Paramount couldn’t release a trailer like it, but it was nice to see that the studios allowed CelticPredator to keep the video online. So with the new trailer debuting this week, another parody by CelticPredator was inevitable. Hit the jump to see it. [Read more...]
