I'd say it's a bad combination of what is being shown off and how: if you're doing the "here are the characters and their characteristics" thing, those characters need to be more noteworthy; if you're using serviceable-but-uninspiring characters like these, you need to do something more interesting to show them off.
For a couple of examples I like better, Borderlands 2 had A Meat Bicycle Built For Two which has a plot and is about a more interesting character, and League of Legends had Welcome Aboard, which has a better framing device, is about a more interesting cast and is actually funny.

"you're probably wondering how I got here" cliche doesn't help, lmao.
That too.
