This Prime Video action movie trailer has the dumbest line I've ever heard

Heads of State on Amazon Prime Video.

I'll overlook a lot in a trailer – in fact, I have to do that often, given how many trailers I consume in a given day as part of my job. Still, sometimes a moment or a line will pop up that simply can't be ignored, whether it's because it's too good or, as in this case, too stupid.

As the final trailer for Amazon Prime Video's Heads of State opens, it cuts in with some witty voiceover from Sharlto Copley, who clearly has a small but telling role to play in the movie. He explains who the main characters played Idris Elba and John Cena are, and calls Elba the "UK's Prime Minister, AKA the President of England", and I'm sorry but that's just way too dumb for me to cope with.
