Hannibal Buress might want to cut down on the Cracker Barrel. The comedian will be heading to the beach alongside Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron and Alexandra Daddario in the upcoming Baywatch movie, which we're starting to think has the potential to be really funny.

Of course, Johnson, as we saw in Pain and Gain, has the ability to be hilarious, and Efron was definitely in the comedy mix in Neighbors, while Daddario has guested on sitcoms like New Girl, but Buress is the first pure comedian to sign on to the movie and a very good sign.

The original series, of course, wasn't supposed to be a comedy, but an earnest, hour-long adventure in lifeguarding, life lessons and boobs bouncing in slow-motion that pretty much always ended up being unintentionally hilarious. The upcoming movie is, thankfully, an R-rated take on the series.

Although Comedy Central never made an official announcement on whether or not the show would get a second season, Buress said recently that he's probably done with his show Why? With Hannibal Buress.

He will, however, be back as Lincoln for Season 3 of Broad City, which just released a hilarious new trailer to announce the series' return on Feb. 17.
