After teasing the upcoming Wet Hot American Summer reboot with a goofy, VHS-tinted teaser, Netflix has offered an official trailer with a hilarious, enticing look at the star-studded prequel series, First Day of Camp.
The clip begins with talk of blossoming summer love and fun, as well as an uncomfortableCamp Firewood meeting thats literally crashed by Paul Rudds surly, too-cool counselor Andy. When chastised for being a week late, Andy replies: Whatever. It smells weird. Who beefed? (Notably, the counselor supervisor is played by H. Jon Benjamin, andwith any luck,First Day of Camp will reveal some ridiculous connection between this characterand the can of vegetables he voicedin the original movie.)
The antics only get goofier with Bradley Cooper and Amy Poehlers drama geeks demanding the best from their pitiful proteges, whileChristopher Melonis war-scarred cafeteria chef, Gene, begins his tormented descent into madness. The rest of the returning cast appears as well, including Elizabeth Banks, Molly Shannon, David Hyde Pierce, Janeane Garofalo, Ken Marino, Michael Ian Black, Zak Orth, Joe Lo Truglio, Judah Friedlander, Marguerite Moreau and Michael Showalter, who will revise his role as the lovable goofus, Coop and portray President Ronald Reagan.
