AMC’s Preacher — an adaptation of Garth Ennis and Steven Dillon’s Christian apocalyptic roadtrip comic — premieres May 22. To promote the first episode of Preacher, producer Seth Rogen (who created the show with Evan Goldberg and Sam Catlin) has put out a new Preacher trailer, this time with him playing every role.

His sweded recreation of the Preacher trailer has Rogen playing not only main character Jesse Custer (played by Dominic Cooper in the show), but also minor characters like Arseface, who, after a failed shotgun suicide, ventures across the country in a quest for revenge on Custer. Rogen’s take on the character is, uh, interesting:

Here’s Seth Rogen’s adaptation of his own show, starring Seth Rogen:

Here’s AMC’s official description of Preacher, which barely captures the madness in store:

“Based on Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s popular ‘90’s comic book franchise of the same name, “Preacher” is a supernatural, twisted and darkly comedic drama that follows a West Texas preacher named Jesse Custer, who is inhabited by a mysterious entity that causes him to develop a highly unusual power. Jesse, his badass ex-girlfriend Tulip and an Irish vagabond named Cassidy come together and when they do, they are thrust into a crazy world populated by a cast of characters from Heaven, Hell and everywhere in between.”
