Trailer breakdown

The first season trailer for Poppa's House hints at the funny conflict between old-fashioned values and the ideals of the younger generation. Poppa makes fun of modern trends, like the fact that there seem to be a lot of rappers with the name "baby."

Poppa also states that he once gave his ex-wife $5 million as part of a divorce settlement, which shows the sharply comedic tone of the show. There are a lot of funny moments in the trailer that show how the father and son interact as they go through life.
