VIDEO Hulu Catch-22 (Official) • A Hulu Original TV commercial 2019 • Based on the acclaimed Joseph Heller novel, Catch-22 follows the adventures and misadventures of a US air squadron in Italy in World War II. Catch-22 premieres May 17. More about the series: Christopher Abbott is Yossarian, a bombardier, whose frantic obsession every time he goes up on a mission is “to come down alive”. His odds of success at such a simple aim keep getting worse, because Colonel Cathcart (Kyle Chandler) keeps raising the number of missions the men have to fly. More than the retreating Germans, the real enemy for Yossarian and his rag-tag bunch of friends is the bureaucracy of the military, inverting logic at every turn. The pinnacle of this is Catch-22, a military by-law which states that if you fly your missions, you’re crazy, and don’t have to fly them; all you have to do is ask. But if you as not to, then you’re sane, and so you have to fly them. George Clooney stars as the barking mad, parade-obsessed Scheisskopf. Hugh Laurie is the mellow, slightly checked-out Major de Coverley. Clooney directs the six-episode series, along with Grant Heslov and Ellen Kuras. 00:00 some of you will not be coming back it's 00:03 no other way of telling you that these 00:05 basic statistics tell us that if in your 00:09 final moments you see death oh think 00:13 knife death 00:14 think of the living and know this that 00:18 your sacrifice will not have been in 00:21 vain it doesn't make a difference who 00:25 wins the war did someone who's dead 00:27 you're saying these heads and balls 00:28 blown off approximately sir I want to 00:30 see move boldly most don't kill the 00:35 boats 00:36 you still think you're gonna get at it 00:39 you're out of here what what is this 00:40 nonsense 00:41 insanity is contagious okay okay then 00:48 great yes sir 00:50 [Applause] 00:52 that's some catch that catch-22 01:00 [Applause] 01:04 [Music] - advertisement spot 2019
