The release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is quickly approaching, which means soon fans will get another healthy helping of the hilarious team dysfunction that they loved int he first film. It also means more Baby Groot, and that is always a good thing, especially when it's up to him to save the day.

In the newest TV spots for Guardians, the team faces down the forces of Ayesha and the Ravagers to save the galaxy once again, and that involves Baby Groot having to spring some of his teammates from a cell. The result? Groot at his best, and the full scene will probably be one of the best parts of the film. Also new are "Good Tunes", "Avengers Assemble", and "Stupid", in addition to the aforementioned "Baby Groot Saves The Day". You can hit the next slide to see all four new TV spots, and the official description can be found below.

Set to the backdrop of 'Awesome Mixtape #2,' Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team's adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mysteries of Peter Quill's true parentage. Old foes become new allies and fan-favorite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes' aid as the Marvel cinematic universe continues to expand.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is written and directed by James Gunn (Slither). The film marks the return of the original Guardians, including Chris Pratt (Jurassic World) as Peter Quill/Star-Lord; Zoe Saldana (Star Trek Into Darkness) as Gamora; Dave Bautista (Spectre) as Drax; Vin Diesel (Furious 7) as the voice of Groot; Bradley Cooper (American Sniper) as the voice of Rocket; Michael Rooker (Jumper) as Yondu; Karen Gillan (The Big Short) as Nebula; and Sean Gunn (Gilmore Girls) as Kraglin. New cast members include Pom Klementieff (Oldboy), Elizabeth Debicki (The Great Gatsby, Everest), Chris Sullivan (The Knick, The Drop) and Kurt Russell (The Hateful Eight, The Thing).

Good Tunes

The Guardians of the Galaxy trailers are becoming just as well known for their fantastic soundtracks as they are for their action sequences and comedic timing. What is even better is when all of those merge together, perfectly represented in the newest "Good Tunes" TV spot.

The cherry on top is throwing more Baby Groot, dancing away to the tunes while also decking a weird lizard looking thing. Adorable and helpful, the best combination. Someone get the little guy some more Skittles, M&Ms, or whatever else ancient trees eat. He more than deserves it.

Avengers Assemble

The earth has its own set of protectors in the Avengers, and they've developed quite a name for themselves over the last few years. That said, the Guardians have also saved the universe against total annihilation, though their name just hasn't spread as widely.

That doesn't really matter though if you ask them. Rocket is more than happy to spell out exactly who they are, even to someone as powerful (and non-approachable) as Ayesha. Just a side note here, but even with all her uber-villany, how can Ayesha talk that way to someone as cute as Groot? Seriously, is she a monster?

Baby Groot Saves The Day

Sometimes things just don't go your way, and in those times you need someone you can rely on. The Guardians' Rocket Raccoon and Yondu find themselves in that sort of predicament at some point in Guardians Vol. 2, trapped inside a cell. It's up to Baby Groot to get them out, and this is where things get incredibly entertaining.

Tasked with finding Yondu's gauntlet, Baby Groot manages to find everything else, including a very personal piece of Yondu's wardrobe. Suffice it to say this whole process might take a while.

Stupid

The Guardians of the Galaxy are one of the most dysfunctional families in Marvel's cinematic universe, and that is partly why they are so popular. The weird mix of personalities and backgrounds makes for priceless humor, and also some spots of confusion.

Take for instance in the "Stupid" TV spot, which features Star-Lord and Rocket having some communication problems. Star-Lord is being serious, but Rocket hasn't exactly mastered the art of sarcasm, or for that matter subtlety. Hopefully, they can get on the same page before someone gets eaten...oh, wait, Drax already leapt into the Abilisk's mouth. Okay, scratch that.
