I think the world has grown too cynical for Harry and Lloyd. It's hard to pull off the innocent stupidity act, especially when movie audiences have changed so much.
Movies like Naked Gun, Airplane, Top Secret, Spaceballs, Dumb and Dumber etc. were great for their time but audiences seem less willing to accept the "stupid hero" archetype.
I chuckled at a few spots in the trailer so hopefully they didn't use all the best jokes in this spot.
