JD Hansel: The nice thing about the Happytime Murders promotion is they found a way to remind you in every promo that this is a Melisa McCarthy movie and that's the selling point, but now that they've got their trailers out, for all the promos, they can just let the puppeteers be funny.
Jarrod Fairclough: Exactly right. And Drew Massey, who's playing Goofer, he's the one in the trailer who says "For 50 cents, I'll s**k your d**k".
JD: He's so good!
Jarrod: He is great. He's been a fantastic puppeteer for years, his stuff on Greg the Bunny and stuff was brilliant. I like that they're just letting him be him, they're letting him be funny. A lot of the performers are the same people who did the Puppet Up shows, so they're all used to improv. So I think they made a wise decision just letting the performers do what they do. Which is why I think these promos are working.
JD: Yeah, if this movie ends up being good, it will be because the performances are strong because, these puppeteers are amazing.
