Watch the extremely self-referential Fuller House trailer

Whatever happened to predictability? It's right here in the new trailer for Fuller House, which premiered exclusively on Ellen today (skip ahead to around 2:30):

This new trailer, which is the first to contain actual footage from the Netflix series, alternates between meta-references to how long it's been ("Damn, we all still look good!") and clumsy callbacks to the original Full House ("How rude," "Cut. It. Out," and "Have mercy!" uttered within the span of about eight seconds). You can say this for Fuller House: It's coming back in a way that feels totally in line with the quality of the original series.

Fuller House premieres on Feb. 26.
