* The Honest Trailer for the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch has the console referred to as "Wii 3: $300 PSP". Come July 2019, and there's an announcement for the Nintendo Switch Lite, which hovers close to the UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable in terms of portability and is $100 cheaper.

* In the Honest Trailer for ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'', the narrator says that this movie has ComicBook/{{Thanos}} in it and he [[OrcusOnHisThrone does nothing]]. This becomes hilarious because [[spoiler:this version of Thanos that the narrator is mocking, ends up becoming the FinalBoss of ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', by travelling [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture to the future]] and he is arguably more threatening than his future self (given that this version does not have access to the infinity stones and shows just how much of a [[GeniusBruiser threat]] [[GalacticConquerer he]] [[CombatPragmatist is]]) and ultimately Tony Stark [[GodzillaThreshold is forced to used the Infinity Stones]] and a BadassFingersnap of his own at the [[HeroicSacrifice cost of his own life]] just to [[TheJuggernaut slow him down]]. Given that Creator/TheRussoBrothers are [[BigNameFan fans]] [[OneOfUs of the show]], one has to think if they did it intentionally.]]

This sounds more like Harsher In Hindsight. He was looking forward to the sequel, yet it ended up being a disappointment, similar to how he was looking forward to Suicide Squad and Jared Leto's performance and was completely disappointed by those as well. The entry sounds more like it belongs there rather than here.


* A lot of remarks about ''Film/Ghostbusters2016'' across a couple of Honest Trailers before its relase were in defense of the movie, and complained about everybody's eagerness to hate the movie in spite of it not being out. When the Honest Trailer for the 2016 movie came out, they admitted that the film was "pretty bad" (even if not as much as everybody said it was gonna be), though they did ask viewers to not harass the cast just because they were in a mediocre movie (indirectly referring to the racist Twitter attacks on star Leslie Jones following the movie's release), and insisted that it wasn't worth getting ''that'' worked up over.

* While doing ''Film/PacificRim'', the narrator is looking forward to the sequel. Fast forward to 2018 and the narrator felt that the sequel, ''Film/PacificRimUprising'', was such let down that they combined it with ''Film/TombRaider2018'' (another film seen as non-remarkable and by-the-numbers) in one Honest Trailer.

* The Honest Trailer for the 2018 Academy Awards ends with the narrator deliberately naming a bunch of superhero movies for random nonsense awards. Afterwards, the actual Academy decided to create the Outstanding Popular Movie award, which was seen as created to be given to superhero movies, and people were so revolted at the concept the Academy turned around. On the other hand, ''Film/BlackPanther'' did get nominated for Best Picture the following year, meaning it had a spot in the Oscars Honest Trailer.

* In the Honest Trailer for ''Film/TerminatorGenisys'':
** At one point the narrator shouted at it for "trying to make Creator/JaiCourtney happen," and besides Shailene Woodley's performance, the only good thing the narrator has to say about ''Film/TheDivergentSeriesInsurgent'' in its Honest Trailer is that Jai Courtney's character is killed off.

* The ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' trailer has the narrator [[NoPronunciationGuide struggling to pronounce]] Hwoarang's name, and settling on "Howard". And then Tekken got a Howard, [[VideoGame/FatalFury Geese]] [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Howard]], that is.
* The Honest Trailer for ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction'' mocked the movie relentlessly for its obvious [[PanderingToTheBase pandering to Chinese audiences]], suggesting that American viewers had caught on to Creator/MichaelBay's tricks and that he would start making movies mainly for China instead. This makes it a bit hilarious (and a little bit satisfying for those who are fed up with the movies) that the next ''Transformers'' movie, ''Film/TransformersTheLastKnight'', not only was panned by American ''and Chinese'' audiences alike, but also [[https://www.forbes.com/sites/robcain/2017/06/30/transformers-stupendous-82-friday-to-friday-collapse-is-one-for-the-record-books/#e2e2fc26fd6e dropped an astonishing 82% in grosses from its first Friday to its second on the Chinese market]].
* In the ''Film/{{Split}}'' Honest Trailer, after learning the movie is actually a StealthSequel to ''Film/{{Unbreakable}}'', the narrator jokes that all of Creator/MNightShyamalan movies are part of a shared Cinematic Universe. Universal and Disney have announced they are making more movies set in the ''Unbreakable'' universe.
