Discovery Channel has released the first promo video for Shark Week 2016, which means the countdown has officially begun, folks. The weeklong binge on all things shark starts June 26, and we can't help but wonder what the video lineup is going to look like. The preview for the premiere summer broadcast is filled with bizarre-but-humorous dramatization: mermaids, rings of fire and (naturally) scuba divers riding sharks.

Are we surprised? Not in the least. Are we going to watch? More than likely. Do we miss Snuffy the Seal? One-hundred percent.
