Mostly not that funny (sorry Paul), but the Matt Damon part is hilarious given their "history".

They gave away like the entire movie in that trailer. Dumb.

Also, what is Damon's "history" with Kimmel?

Have a buddy with a blonde wife. She is something like a nurse. She would have been about 26 at the time.

He told me that one day they were on vacation, she asked how long it would take to get to their last stop. He said, "Well, we are about 70 miles away, and we are going 70 miles per hour, so we'll be there in about an hour."

She is silent for about 5 minutes, then she exclaims, "OH, NOW I GET IT..."

Some terrorist assholes are spied on video planting a roadside IED. They make sure to pat the dirt nice and firm all around it.

This is actually kind of funny.

Where'd you see that they were planting it? In the video, the pilot says, "We had an IED go off on the five volunteers who went ahead..."

Was he mocking them?

You think they were Americans? Wasn't my impression, and the video is called, "Jihadist trainees."

American IED disposal units have shitloads of gear they don before approaching an IED.

"that had pushed forward" actually. There's a slight hesitation before the word "volunteers". It could be nothing. But I could see that perhaps he's just using a mostly neutral word about some enemy idiots to be nice since they just went boom.

No way to know, though.

I had the impression that the blank spots in the audio was where they edited out the laughing.

I just want to make sure I'm laughing at the bad guys, and not some guys who were trying to help us out.

Listening carefully to the audio throughout the clip, it does sound like they were possibly our volunteers. The eye in the sky was giving directions to someone on the ground as to where they were at and warning them what they were up to. They were digging it up by hand, not burying it.

It's not 100% certain, though. Phrases like "your guys" could go either way. But the "we think" phrasing makes it likely that even if these were "our guys" they were independently operating volunteers and weren't working close enough to be under some sort of orders, or we'd have been more certain as to what they were doing. And would probably then tell them to stop being so stupid.

Well, context is certainly important.

Uh...drunk doesn't make you fuck bark. She's either acting or hallucinating.

Apparently, this one is going viral. I don't think it looks good until they really get to the eating.

Love this guy! Not the best speaker, as you can tell he gets a bit lost because he has so much to say, but he hits some good points.
