The latest Anchorman 2 trailers has been released, and it’s clearly not going to stop pushing the boundaries of comedy.

From confusing a gay man with a vampire, to smoking crack cocaine live on TV, the first shows the Channel Four news team have reassembled in comedic glory.

But in the second, it looks like time is up for Brick Tamland as Ron Burgundy, Brian Fantana and Champ Kind gather for his funeral.

Luckily, Brick was being his usual idotic self, arriving to his memorial, alive and well.

The first trailer begins with a montage of historic news programming from across the world, with a voiceover saying: ’It was time when news was a noble trade, built on a foundation of journalistic integrity but then it became salacious and just plain stupid.

‘All thanks to one visionary news team.’

That’s when Will Ferrell and his team – Paul Rudd, Steve Carrell and David Keochner – walk into shot and ready to report the top stories.

And story of the day turned out to be crack cocaine, with Ron and the boys testing it out live to which Ron describes as ‘just refreshing’.

And while their without a care reports at first seemed to be frowned upon, it looks like the story shows their news-gathering style is a big ratings hit.

The trailer introduces for the first time Harrision Ford, who seems to be hard-nut news editor who brands Burgundy as ‘the worst anchorman’ he’s ever seen.

Veronica Corningstone also arrives on the scene, and it looks like all the beautiful rainbows in Pleasure Town couldn’t save their relationship, with the anchorwoman taking Ron’s job, and seen in the arms of a new man – played by Greg Kinnear.

The film also looks like it jovially confronts the question of equality in the workplace with Burgundy asking a colleague ‘you're not black or Asian, what are you?’

The man says he’s gay, which leads to questions from Brian, Champ and Brick, who all seem to thing homosexuals, share the same traits as vampires.

And though in the first Anchorman, the audience was introduced to Fantana’s musk collection – who can forget that sex panther – this time around he’s harbouring a ‘jimmy collection’, full of contraception named ‘The Responsible Pirate, ‘Sleeve It To Beaver’ and ‘The Hooded Guest’.

Ed Helms and James Marsden, but Sacha Baron Cohen, Kirsten Dunst, Liam Neeson, Kristen Wiig and Tina Fey will also appear in the sequel which follows the team as they take on news in the eighties.

Anchorman 2 will hit UK cinemas on December 20

Sequel to the most overrated film of all time. The people who quote this tripe are the same types who watch rubbish like celebrity juice and think that is humour. Think these people could invest in some only fools and horses or dumb and dumber to understand true comedy

Crack being a central part of a story line...kind of not funny.,..kind of says big bomb at the movie theater. I hope all these comedy actors who don't know comedy got their paychecks upfront.
