I was hoping Cop Out would be funny — what with Kevin Smith at the helm and Tracy Morgan and the deceptively amusing Bruce Willis headlining — but alas, we can’t always get what we want. It seems after shedding its former A Couple of Dicks titling, the film may have also lost its sense of humor, because this is one unfunny trailer.

Tracy Morgan’s one of those actors whose off-the-wall antics can be funny if utilized in the right way, but it looks like Smith let him run way too wild here. Add that onto the fact that the jokes aren’t anywhere near funny (I mean, the whole “stop repeating me” bit…really?), and this trailer has effectively killed any interest I had in the film. Smith’s talented, though, so I’m hoping that maybe the trailer just got put together with the film’s worst jokes, or maybe some of them work better in the context of the narrative. But really, there’s no indication that this movie is funnier than what the trailer is selling, and if that turns out to be true, that’s really disappointing.

Hit the jump to see the trailer, or head over to Apple to see it in HD.

Cop Out is in theaters on February 26, 2010.
