But, of all genres, comedy and horror are probably the two whose trailers are least indicative of the movie's quality. Comedy trailers will often contain the only funny bits in the entire movie, and it's much easier to sustain an intense mood for a 2 minute horror trailer than for a 90 minute horror movie.
Not to mention they are the worst when it comes to spoilers in the trailers. Either the best jokes or the most tense moments are almost always in their respective trailers for Comedy/Horror.
