This ad by Scary Movie is pretty bold to me, as the first ten full seconds you think it’s a Michael ad. But I think that’s exactly the humor and wit of Scary Movie.

Is this too bold for a comedy movie or are they talking back into the golden era of movie teasers when we didn’t give the full movie away?
