It’s been a while since wefirst heardofDigman!, theComedy Centralanimated series produced and written bySNLandBrooklyn Nine-NinealumAndy Samberg. We already knew that the series would be arriving by the end of this month, but today the network decided to let us share the exclusive trailer that showcases what audiences can expect to see in the show.Digman!takes place in a universe in which archeologists are superstars whose popularity is unprecedented.
The exclusive new trailer, which Samberg also shared to his Lonely Island social media accounts, kicks things off withIndiana Jonesvibes, which we all knew we could expect, but then it flips the story on its head with unexpected curses from ancient tombs that are disgusting or just plain unimaginable. The trailer forDigman!also has a subtle satirical element: it takes the blockbuster tendency of selecting popular songs and using them with calm covers in the trailers. TheDigman!team decided to go with “All Star” bySmash Mouth, whose cover sounds deliciously weird and funny.
The Time Has Come For Rip Digman to Shine Again
Aside from that, the trailer also reveals that even though, in theDigman!universe, archeologists are massively popular, its leading man Rip Digman (Samberg) is down on his luckstill—ten years after getting fired from the Smithsonian. However, he feels his popularity might change after embarking on an adventure with a young archeologist… and with Sneardly Toothbottom tagging along, of course.
