** For ''Film/SupermanIVTheQuestForPeace'', they tear into the movie for its way of recycling shots of Superman flying, most notably one of him flying towards the screen they re-use '''nine times''' in the movie.
** In the ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction'' video, they point out how the makers didn't bother adding animation to some green screens shown on a series of monitors.
** They rip into ''Disney/TheJungleBook'', of all movies, for reusing several shots and character animations by giving them different lighting or mirroring them, showing the shots side by side for comparison. The video also shows how some shots from the movie made it into ''other'' Disney movies over the years, such as an animation of Mowgli being licked by the wolves being recycled in ''Disney/TheSwordInTheStone''.

** Also, ''The Lord of the Rings'' is described as an eleven hour New Zealand tourism commercial.
** ''Film/TheRevenant'' gets poked for its many, many shots of the sky:
--->'''Narrator:''' Yep, that's the sky. Yep, it's still the sky. Oh look, there's the sky again. Sky's not going anywhere. Another sky shot, oh goody. [[LeaveTheCameraRunning Did they just put the camera down and forget it was rolling]]? Aaaaaand... sky.\\
''[later, when another sky shot appears]''\\
'''Narrator:''' Yes, thank you. We know the sky is still there.
* TheScrappy: [[invoked]] Skyler White in ''Series/BreakingBad'' is Walt's annoying wife "who at first you wish would just go away, then later will wish she could just ''get'' away, since she's married to a complete sociopath." ''[shows clips of Walt being hostile to Skyler to demonstrate his point, including his "I am the danger!" scene]''
* ScrappyMechanic: [[invoked]] The Honest Game Trailer for ''VideoGame/MightyNo9'' describes the absorption dash as this because it encourages players to speed through levels even though the level design and enemy placement doesn't really permit this.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Combined with a RageQuit in the Honest Trailer of ''After Earth''; the narrator leaves towards the end after realizing how many terrible {{Plot Hole}}s the movie has.
-->'''Narrator:''' Look, I gotta get outta here. It's just not worth it. You guys don't have to pay me for this one, just call me next week for ''Walking Dead''. ''[drives off]''
* SeinfeldIsUnfunny:[[invoked]] In the ''VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver'' Honest Trailer, the narrator makes a big deal of the fact that it was the first Pokemon game to have:
-->'''Narrator:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Full. Blown. COLOR!]]\\
''[sounds of ChirpingCrickets]''\\
'''Narrator:''' Look, it was a big deal at the time, all right? Jeez!
* SelfDeprecation: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eI22c1YmiN4 The trailer for the Screen Junkies channel]].
* {{Sequelitis}}: [[invoked]]
** "[[Film/JurassicPark Revisit the adventure]] that launched [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs your childhood obsession with dinosaurs]]... and [[Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark two really]] [[Film/JurassicParkIII disappointing]] sequels."
** The Narrator feels this way about ''The Dark Knight Rises'', describing Creator/ChristopherNolan as the "director of [[Film/BatmanBegins two good]] [[Film/TheDarkKnight Batman movies]]."
** Their ''Film/IronMan2'' trailer mostly consists of them comparing how it falls short of ''Film/IronMan1''.
** Also for ''Franchise/TheMatrix'' trilogy, where it's even referred to "[[MyFriendsAndZoidberg The Matrix... and its sequels]]".
** The ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'' is called ''Film/TheGodfather Trilogy'' of superhero movies, "in that the first two are great and the third one sucks a**."
** ''X-Men'' and ''X2'' "proved comic book movies can be awesome", while ''X-Men: The Last Stand'' "proved comic book movies can totally suck balls".
* SerialNumbersFiledOff: [[invoked]] When the movie they're making an Honest Trailers shows similar plot to another movie.
** ''Inception'' is "A supposedly original film that's actually just ''Film/TheMatrix'', except with creepier extras, and unclear rules [of physics]."
** ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'' is shown to be another big offender.
*** The plot -- that Raoul Silva has stolen a harddrive with a list of secret agents, "which the writer stole from the plot of ''Film/MissionImpossible''."
*** The finale at the Skyfall estate, "an ending so goofy, they just ripped it off from ''Film/HomeAlone''." [[spoiler:''Cue a montage of the Skyfall booby trap sequence. In the montage, clips from the second ''Home Alone'' movie of Harry setting his head on fire are spliced in.'']]
** Subverted with ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy''
--->'''Narrator:''' What I'm trying to say is: they're ''[[Film/TheAvengers2012 the Space Avengers]]''. But I guess it's technically not stealing if they're ripping off themselves.
** The Honest Game Trailer for ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'' points out the game's obvious similarities to the gameplay of ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'':
--->'''Narrator:''' Suffer through another brutal action RPG that's as brutal as ''Dark Souls'', because it basically is ''Dark Souls'', but isn't called ''Dark Souls'' to trick people who hate ''Dark Souls'' into trying out ''Dark Souls''.
** The Honest Trailer for ''Disney/BigHero6'' points out how similar it is to films from the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse:
--->'''Narrator:''' Prepare for a movie based on a Creator/{{Marvel|Comics}} comic you had no idea existed, that Disney removed all the Marvel branding for, and didn't tie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, despite the fact that it has [[Comicbook/TheAvengers a team of quippy heroes]] going up against [[Film/ThorTheDarkWorld a forgettable villain]] [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy with a vague plan]] in [[Film/TheAvengers2012 a final battle with a sky-based doomsday device]] [[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron made by disposable robots]], and [[TheStinger an after-credits scene]] with Creator/StanLee. Come on, this is the [[BuffySpeak Marvel-iest non-Marvel movie]] ever!
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: During the ''Film/TheDivergentSeriesInsurgent'' Honest Trailer, the narrator gets sick of the franchise's use of "SAT words" like Abdegnation and Erudite:
-->'''Narrator:''' I'm frustrated by the bounteous measure of inorderly and circuitous vernacular in this cinematic offering! ''[{{beat}}]'' See? I have a thesaurus too!
* {{Sexposition}}: "[[Series/GameOfThrones A show]] with so many monologues, HBO will desperately try to keep your attention by [[PunctuatedForEmphasis any...boobs...necessary]]."
* ShapedLikeItself:
** In ''Film/HomeAlone'', John Heard is credited as "The Dad From ''Home Alone''".
** In ''Film/JurassicPark'', Sam Neill is credited as "That Guy from ''Jurassic Park''".
** In ''Film/Deadpool2016'' and ''Disney/BigHero6'', T.J. Miller is credited as "A T.J. Miller Type".
* ShotForShotRemake: The Honest Trailer for the 2009 ''Film/StarTrek'' movie describes it as "[[Creator/JJAbrams Abrams]]' ''Franchise/StarWars'' demo reel", showing how certain shots from the ''Star Trek'' movie are near identical to some scenes of the classic ''Star Wars'' movies.
* {{Shotoclone}}: The ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' trailer, in its "Starring" part, features Ryu... and Also Ryu (Ken), Girl Ryu (Sakura), Joke Ryu (Dan), Evil Ryu (Akuma), and, uh... Eviler Ryu.
* ShoutOut:
** After the narrator rage quits in ''After Earth'', a rather squeaky-voiced Hal Rudnick continues the trailer by saying, "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E10TheSpringfieldFiles Uh... I don't think he's coming back.]]"
** For ''[[Film/ANewHope Star Wars]]'', Creator/AlecGuinness' starring name comes up as [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E2LisasRival "Genuine Class."]] As a CallBack, Creator/JeremyIrons is called "Jeremy's Iron" in the ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'' trailer.
** For ''Film/DieHard'', Hans Gruber's name is pronounced like "[[Film/MacGruber MACGRUBEEEERRRRRRRR!!!]]"
* ShownTheirWork: The ''Film/PearlHarbor'' trailer lists several ''actual'' heroes of the attack under "Not Starring," including Kenneth Taylor and George Welch, who really took off and shot down Japanese planes.
* SingleTear / InelegantBlubbering: The ''Spider-Man Trilogy'' trailer contains a montage of Peter Parker doing both of these.
* SkewedPriorities: From ''Film/LesMiserables2012'':
** In the beginning part:
--->''Meet the spirit of human redemption, Jean Valjean\\
A paroled thief now on the run under an assumed identity\\
For reasons never made clear in the entire movie\\\
Who must face off against InspectorJavert\\
An officer with such terrible priorities\\
He'll put the entire city of Paris on lockdown\\
To stop a man who already served his time''
** And:
--->''Leaving Valjean to now care for Cosette\\
[Fantine's] precocious child who is scared of the dark\\
But is totally cool letting some stranger\\
drag her around the city''
** Then finally, a two-in-one hit:
--->''Now at the dawn of revolution\\
One young man will give up everything\\
[[invoked]][[StrangledByTheRedString For a woman he's met through a fence]]\\
Prompting a heartbreaking romance we know nothing about\\
Because the entire subplot is glossed over\\
To make room for countless scenes of Borat''
** From ''Series/GameOfThrones''
--->'''Narrator:''' Watch as everyone fights to sit on the world's most uncomfortable chair, while completely ignoring an invasion of ice zombies that threatens to kill them all.
* SlasherSmile: [[Film/SpiderMan1 Willam Defoe as the Green Goblin]] freaks out the Narrator when he makes this:
-->'''Narrator:''' ...eugh, he looks better with the mask on!
* SugarWiki/SoCoolItsAwesome: [[invoked]]
** Despite making fun of ''Jurassic Park'' in their trailer, the narrator excitedly gushes over the climax with the T. rex.
--->'''Narrator:''' Aw man, what an awesome shot... oohhh, look at how the banner falls! I gotta watch this movie again!
** He also excitedly features his favorite moments of StuffBlowingUp in ''Series/BreakingBad''.
** And gushes about Hulk punching a Chitauri leviathan in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}''.
** ''Film/PacificRim'' gets called "either The Most Awesome Dumb Movie Ever Made or The Dumbest Awesome Movie Ever Made."
* SomethingSomethingLeonardBernstein:
** Calls ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'s'' Fixer-Upper as "The One You Don't Know the Words To"
---> So he's a bit of a Fixer-Upper \\
????????? \\
Something something\\
Something something\\
Little bit of love!
** Again for the Zulu chorus in ''Disney/TheLionKing's'' "Circle of Life":
---> I-------- don't know what the words really are\\
(It's okay) (We'll make them up!)\\
No one knows what-a we are a-singing\\
But it's fun to sing it anyway-a!
* SoOkayItsAverage: [[invoked]]
** The Narrator's opinion of ''Film/{{Thor}}''.
--->'''Narrator:''' You've seen [[Film/TheDarkKnight great]] [[Film/SupermanTheMovie superhero]] [[Film/IronMan1 films]], you've seen [[Film/{{Catwoman}} terrible]] [[Film/{{Daredevil}} superhero]] [[Film/XMenOriginsWolverine films]]. Now, prepare for a superhero film that's just kinda... "ehh". I'm mean, I guess they did the best they could adapting [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor a comic book about a bratty space god]].
** The Honest Trailer for the sequel, ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'', is pretty cool about it, describing it as "another perfectly adequate Marvel movie".
*** This even gets a call back in the Honest Trailer of ''Film/{{Hulk}}'', when after describing its climax as "an impossible-to-see climax, that takes place at night, ''underwater'', against a cloud... thing." he adds that ''Thor: The Dark World'' looks "pretty good right now" in comparison.
** The Honest Trailer for ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', very apologetically, notes that it's pretty fun despite its storytelling problems:
--->'''Narrator:''' I mean, it's definitely ''good'', just not ''great'', you know what I mean? Like, certainly ''enjoyable'', but, you know... Aw man, [[InternetBackdraft we're gonna catch hell for this anyway]].
* SoundtrackDissonance:
** The Honest Trailer for ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen'' shows a montage of [[StuffBlowingUp the many "BEWMS"]] in the movie, making them hilarious by adding the song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mRn9chmRAY "Stars and Stripes Forever."]]
** The Honest Trailer for ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark'' adds a "SoundtrackDissonance/YaketySax"-like tune, goofy sound effects and a laugh track to the scenes where Malcolm and the others are chased by raptors in a sequence described as ''Jurassic [[Series/TheBennyHillShow Benny Hill]]''.
** The Honest Trailer for ''Film/TheRevenant'' describes the more violent scenes as "so over the top it's one music change from being ''Series/{{Jackass}}''", showing some of the scenes set to "Corona" by Minutemen (the theme song of ''Jackass'') and with clips of the ''Jackass'' guys laughing their asses off.
* SpeakingSimlish: The Narrator points this out in ''Franchise/TheSims'':
-->'''Narrator:''' Create your own story as your Sims babble away in incomprehensible Simlish...\\
'''Male Sim:''' ''[question in Simlish]''\\
'''Female Sim:''' ''[agreement in Simlish]''\\
'''Narrator:''' ...a ridiculous fake language like [[Franchise/StarTrek Klingon]] or [[EskimosArentReal Swedish]].\\
'''LetsPlay/PewDiePie:''' ''[angry Swedish [[ForeignCussWord cursing]]]''
* {{Spinoff}}: ''Honest Action'', which has a certified physician analyze action movies and [[RealityEnsues list the injuries the character would receive in the real world]].
** There's also ''Honest Game Trailers'', which focused on video games instead of films or shows.
* SpiritualAdaptation: [[invoked]] Brought up in the ''Film/FantasticFour'' trailer:
-->'''Narrator:''' And don't tell me it's impossible to make a good Fantastic Four movie. It's called ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'', [[SacredCow and it's perfect]].
* {{Spoiler}}s: The series openly discusses them, since the videos are released after the film in question is available on DVD. Honest Trailers revealing major plot twists or developments will usually begin with the disclaimer "The following trailer is rated "S" for spoilers".
** ''Series/GameOfThrones'' has a spoiler-free version where potentially spoilery content (even those from the first episode!) was either blurred or bleeped. This includes every mention of dragons.
** The Honest Trailer for ''Film/TerminatorGenisys'' opens with the usual disclaimer, also chiding the movie's real trailer for not showing that kind of discretion by giving away "the only cool part in the entire movie", that [[spoiler:John Connor becomes a Terminator]].
* SpoofAesop: Describes ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' as a movie that "teaches girls everywhere they don't need a prince to rescue them, because all men are disgusting loners ''[shows Kristoff]'', greedy murderers ''[shows The Duke of Weselton]'', or [[spoiler:lying, manipulative, power-hungry sociopaths ''[shows Prince Hans]'']]".
-->'''Narrator:''' Happy now, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jezebel_(website) Jezebel]]?
* SpotlightStealingSquad:
** The ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' trailer considers Wolverine this for the whole ''X-Men'' film series, in detriment to most other characters.
--->'''Narrator:''' In a world full of other cool X-Men, meet...Wolverine, for the seventh f(bleep!)cking time.
** The ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' trailer renames the series ''Jack Sparrow of the Caribbean (And Some Other Pirates)''.
* StalkerWithACrush: The ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' trailer calls Anakin a "a rat-tailed ***hole who's been creepily stalking Padme for the last decade". Cue [[http://youtu.be/4nJS-LPcFfw?t=1m37s montage]] of Anakin's love declarations throughout the movie with dissonant horror movie music added in.
-->'''Padme:''' Please don't look at me like that.\\
'''Anakin:''' Why not?\\
'''Padme:''' It makes me feel uncomfortable.\\
'''Anakin:''' ''[Smirking]'' Sorry milady. ''[stares at her leaving for an uncomfortably long time]''\\
'''Narrator:''' [[{{Squick}} Eyuugh.]]
* StarDerailingRole: [[invoked]] Credits Maria Pitillo in the ''Film/{{Godzilla 1998}}'' Honest Trailer as "Career Killer."
* StealthInsult:
** They snuck in a quick TakeThat at ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'' during their ''Inception'' trailer.
--->'''Narrator:''' From the director of ''two'' good Batman movies...
** From ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' trailer...
--->'''Narrator:''' From the network that brought you ''Series/BreakingBad'', a show you couldn't stop watching, comes a show so inconsistent you have to keep talking yourself into watching...
** From ''Film/ThreeHundred'':
--->'''Narrator:''' From [[Creator/FrankMiller the guy who]] [[ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns made Batman comics cool again]], and [[Creator/ZackSnyder the guy who'll]] [[Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice probably make Batman movies suck again]].
** The opening to their trailer of ''Frozen'' mentions that it's been 3 years since their last musical (''Disney/{{Tangled}}'') and 18 years since their last GOOD musical (''Disney/{{Pocahontas}}'').
** In their trailer for the ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'', ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'' is referenced just once as "the hipster reboot." The ''Spider-Man Trilogy'' is also compared to ''The Godfather Trilogy''... in that "the first two are great and the third one sucks ass."
** In the Honest Trailer for ''Film/PacificRim'', when the narrator mentions a LongList of works from whom the film draws its influences, he mentions [[Film/RealSteel "that stupid Hugh Jackman robot boxing movie."]]
* StillbornFranchise: [[invoked]]
** Makes a crack with this at the expense of ''Film/GreenLantern''.
--->'''Narrator:''' Haha! [[TakeThat They thought there was going to be a sequel. That's adorable...]].
** And again at the expense of ''Film/SuperMarioBros''
--->'''Daisy:''' Luigi, Mario! You have to come with me, I need your help!\\
'''Narrator:''' ''[flatly]'' Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
* StockFootage: ''Superman IV'' reuses "the same flying shots used over, and over, and over, and over again.
-->'''Narrator:''' Seriously, these are all the same shot? You couldn't do one more take? That's... that's lazy, you guys.
* TheStoner: In the ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'' trailer, the narrator's voice briefly changes into this, after pointing out that the item that can heal the injuries received by the player characters is a green herb.
-->'''Narrator:''' ''[in a Jamaican accent]'' Nothing a little Green Herb can't fix, am I right, mon? Hohohohoho!
* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: While the Epic Voice Guy (Jon Bailey) and Epic Voice Guy Sr. (Gannon Nickell) disagree on whether or not ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' is a good movie overall, they share the same favourite and least favourite moments.
* StrangledByTheRedString: [[invoked]] The romantic subplot of ''Les Miserabablebles'', as pointed out in the third example for SkewedPriorities above. The HT for ''Film/TheHungerGames'' also claims Katniss and Peeta lack chemistry.
* StrictlyFormula:
** Every Creator/SamRaimi ''Spider-Man'' film is narrated with the exact same plotline: "A story about Peter Parker struggling with his powers, breaking up with Mary Jane, and fighting a villain who ultimately kills himself."
** The Honest Trailer for ''Film/IronMan1'' describes a formulaic trend that will dominate subsequent Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse movies: "Take a half-forgotten, B-list superhero, cast an unknown or half-forgotten, B-list actor, have him fight a [[GenericDoomsdayVillain generic villain]] that will only last one movie, fall in love with a generically strong female character, [[DeadpanSnarker make a ton of quips]], [[TechnoBabble talk a bunch of science]], [[DestructiveSaviour destroy some public property]], [[TheCameo cram]] Creator/StanLee [[TheCameo in there somewhere]], [[PillarOfLight shoot a blue beam into the sky]], [[SequelHook set up an]] ''[[SequelHook Avengers]]'' [[SequelHook movie]], and force the audience to sit through 500 visual effects guys' names just to catch [[TheStinger a few extra seconds]]."
** ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'' gets jabbed for its use of Creator/{{Pixar}}'s success formula:
--->'''Narrator:''' [A]n emotionally jarring opening, a sentimental protagonist-wacky sidekick duo, and just enough [[ToiletHumor poop jokes]] to entertain your kids while the heartwrenching story makes you reevaluate your entire adult life.
* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe:
** In ''Film/TheDarkKnight'', the Bat-Armor "can withstand falls from any height, but sucks against bullets."
** Also, in ''Batman & Robin'', "watch Academy Award winning ladies' man Creator/GeorgeClooney [[MoneyDearBoy phone it in as Batman]], a hero capable of performing impossible feats... except for moving his neck. Or body."
* StupidCrooks: In ''Fast Five'', "gear up to steal $100 million with the dumbest criminals ever as they: take off their masks during robberies, go for leisurely strolls while all of Rio's drug gangs are after them, and drag race cop cars they just stole down the middle of the streets."
* StupidSexyFlanders:
** Both narrators ''really'' wanted [[Film/TheHungerGames Katniss to choose Gale instead of Peeta]].
--->'''Gannon Nickell:''' I mean, [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday I'm not gay]], but I would totally [[CensoredForComedy s*** Gale's d***!]]\\
'''Jon Bailey:''' I would totally choose Gale... ah, I mean, if I were Katniss... ah, screw it! Gale is hot and I would make out with that face in a heartbeat!
** Also, [[Film/TheForceAwakens Poe Dameron]], [[spoiler:who both agree has a beautiful face and that is a high point of the movie.]]
* SurpriseCreepy: About ''Disney/PeterPan'':
-->'''Narrator:''' Revisit the animated classic that will make you say: "This is way creepier than I remember it..."
* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: [[invoked]] Their opinion of ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier''.
-->'''Narrator:''' You weren't that impressed with [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger his first movie]]. He wasn't your favorite [[Film/TheAvengers2012 Avenger]]. Now, get ready for the sequel that made everyone say... "[[{{HSQ}} Holy s***]]! Who knew Captain America kicked so much ass?"
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial:
** "And when I say [[[Film/HarryPotter Hermione]] is] hot, I mean only in the ''last'' three movies after [the actress playing her] [[TotallyEighteen turned eighteen]]! Heh heh... [[HypocriticalHumor pervs]]!"
** In ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', Palpatine is credited as "Definitely ''Not'' the Emperor".
** In the ''Film/TheHungerGamesMockingjay -- Part 1'' Trailer, they give an unconvincing denial of looking at the Creator/JenniferLawrence nude leaks.
** At the end of the ''Flim/MagicMike'' trailer, the narrator insisted that he's not gay or weird... after spending the "Starring" part raving about ''abbbbbs'' and ''asssss'' and ''peccccs'' and having a FreudianSlip about wanting Creator/ChanningTatum, he didn't really fool anyone.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:T]]
* TakeThat: Pretty much the whole point of the majority of the trailers.
* TakeThatScrappy: [[invoked]] Besides Creator/ShaileneWoodley's performance, the only good thing the narrator has to say about ''Film/TheDivergentSeriesInsurgent'' is that Creator/JaiCourtney's character is killed off (a sort of BrickJoke to how much his performance was criticized in the ''Film/TerminatorGenisys'' Honest Trailer).
* TankGoodness: The Honest Game Trailer for ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight'' focuses mostly on how the Batmobile is esentially a tank. So much so that they call it ''Arkham: VideoGame/WorldOfTanks''.
* TechnologyMarchesOn: [[invoked]]
** In ''Film/JurassicPark'': "Re-experience [[VisualEffectsOfAwesome the ground-breaking CGI that still holds up after twenty years]], [shows shots of the park's 1990s computers] and all of this technology that doesn't."
** In ''Harry Potter'', Hogwarts is a place "where technology seems to have been frozen in the nineteenth century, replacing cell phones and the Internet with quill pens and owls."
** In ''Film/HomeAlone'', "bundle up and relive the early 1990s joy of Micro Machines, starting lineup figures, Johnny Carson, 35 mm cameras, landline phones, answering machines, pre-9/11 air travel, and Macaulay Culkin."
* TemptingFate: At the end of the ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' trailer:
--> '''Narrator:''' At least this is just one of those one-off internet fads that I won't have to play anymor-(''cue trailer for VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2'') Oh f***. We're gonna have a million of these, aren't we?
* ThatOneMove: [[invoked]] The Honest Game Trailer for ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrothers'' credits [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]] as "Down + B (Cut That Shit Out!)" in reference to his Lightning attack.
* ThatsWhatSheSaid:
** The narrator says this in the ''Film/ManOfSteel'' trailer in response to Lois Lane's attempts [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything to plug something into a hole and saying it's supposed to go all the way in]].
** The ''[[Film/ANewHope Star Wars]]'' trailer also played on this with all the {{Accidental Innuendo}}es in the movie's "[[FreudWasRight Freudian finale]]" (as the narrator put it):
-->"Luke is the best bush pilot in the Outer Rim Territories."\\
"Look at the size of that thing!"\\
"They came from behind."\\
"...should be able to penetrate the outer defense."\\
"Almost there... Almost there...!"\\
"Didn't go in."\\
"You're all clear, kid! Now let's blow this thing and go home!"\\
"Luke, at that speed, will y'be able to pull out in time?"
-->'''[[Series/TheOfficeUS Michael Scott]]:''' That's what she said! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
* ThemeTuneCameo: The requests at the beginning of ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'' are put in a way the PreviewsPulse that accompanies them plays the ''Terminator'' theme.
* TheUnintelligible:
** In ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'', chaos will arrive in the form of Bane, a villain who no one can fully understand.
** In the Honest Trailer for ''Film/TheExpendables'', the narrator lampshades this trope by asking "Was that even in English?" after one of Creator/SylvesterStallone's one liners.
* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: [[invoked]] The Honest Trailer for ''Film/DragonballEvolution'' chides it for ripping off other movies, such as the volcanic scenes from ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'', the super-fast punching fight scenes of ''Film/TheMatrix'' and the turqoise filter-filmed brooding of ''Film/{{Twilight}}'', showing the original scenes next to those of ''Dragonball'' for comparison.
* TheyJustDidntCare: [[invoked]] On a few rare occasions, the Honest Trailer will actually call the movie out for getting lazy in some part of the production.
** For ''Film/SupermanIVTheQuestForPeace'', they tear into the movie for its way of recycling shots of Superman flying, most notably one of him flying towards the screen they re-use '''nine times''' in the movie.
** In the ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction'' video, they point out how the makers didn't bother adding animation to some green screens shown on a series of monitors.
** They rip into ''Disney/TheJungleBook'', of all movies, for reusing several shots and character animations by giving them different lighting or mirroring them, showing the shots side by side for comparison. The video also shows how some shots from the movie made it into ''other'' Disney movies over the years, such as an animation of Mowgli being licked by the wolves being recycled in ''Disney/TheSwordInTheStone''.
--->'''Narrator:''' That's like... Creator/MichaelBay lazy!
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: [[invoked]]
** The Honest Trailer for ''Film/WorldWarZ'' knocks it because of how little of the novel's epic and colorful story was actually used in the film.
--->'''Narrator:''' Man, what a waste of good source material.
** The Honest Game Trailer for ''VideoGame/MadMax'' notes that since the game was inspired by ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'', it could have been made into a pretty awesome car combat game or a straightforward car racing game, but was instead made into a dull open world third person fighting game filled with countless tedious side objectives.
** The Honest Trailer for ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'' points out how much the movie suffered because of all the new characters and plot arcs that had to be forced into one movie and how much it had to accomplish, like setting up a movie franchise to rival the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse and create a sequel to ''Film/ManOfSteel'' as well as a standalone Batman story.
--->'''Narrator:''' Whose idea was it to cram all this into ''one'' movie? They just burnt through, like, six movies worth of good material!
* ThisIsGonnaSuck:
** The ''After Earth'' trailer begins with "From the director of... ''[Creator/MNightShyamalan's name appears on the screen]'' Oh God, not him again."
** Happens again in the trailer for another Shyamalan movie, ''Film/TheHappening'', which begins with "From M. Night Shyamalan... ''[{{beat}}]'' [[SarcasmMode Hoo boy, this should be good...]]"
* ThisLoserIsYou: "From Creator/JKRowling, the author of [[Literature/HarryPotter the book series]] that kept Borders open for another few years, comes the movie adaptation for people too lazy to read ''[shows clip of [[FatBastard Uncle Vernon]] grabbing a container of ice cream from the freezer]''."
* ThrowItIn: In-universe. In the ''Kingsman'' trailer, the narrator references how [[Creator/SamuelLJackson "Thamuel L. Jackthson"]] invoked this trope to give Valentine a lisp, and he wonders if the director was too scared to refuse.
* TimeSkip:
** In ''Skyfall'', "when Bond is abruptly killed, it'll only take the length of one Music/{{Adele}} song before he anticlimatically pops up in the most secluded corner of the globe. That conveniently has Creator/{{CNN}} in English."
** Also mocks the fact that in ''The Dark Knight Rises'', after Bane takes over Gotham, the movie skips over three months, during which there is only "one riot and zero gridlock. Seriously, where is everybody?"
** ''Les Miserables'' has "Not since ''The Dark Knight Rises'' has a movie been so manipulative with its use of time jumps."
* ToiletHumor: In the ''Film/GrownUps'' trailer, they deliberately criticize the overusage of toilet jokes.
* TokenMinority: In the ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' trailer, the Demoman (the only dark-skinned class) is said to have been added to the cast to add some diversity to it, [[BaitAndSwitch because he's Scottish]].
* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: {{Discussed|Trope}} in the Honest Trailer for ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'', which remarks that the revelation that the T-800 ''protects'' John Connor instead of hunting him was given away by the film's actual trailers. The Honest Trailer also remarks that ''Film/TerminatorGenisys'' apparently didn't learn from that mistake, since its actual trailers gave away the twist that [[spoiler:John Connor becomes a Terminator]].
* {{Troperiffic}}: The Honest Trailer for ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'' describes it as "cramming every genre trope it can fit" that belongs to the horror genre, like [[AbandonedMine abandoned]] [[AbandonedHospital locations]], [[LetsSplitUpGang characters splitting up to cover more ground]], and characters [[spoiler:[[DeathBySex being killed when trying to have sex]]]].
* TroubledProduction: [[invoked]]
** ''Film/WorldWarZ'', "a film with so many production problems, people were genuinely surprised when it ''wasn't'' a complete disaster."
** The ''Film/FantasticFour2015'' Honest Trailer mentions how messed up the production of the film was:

** From ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction'': "From a franchise known for objectifying hot, young women; prepare for a new low, as they make the movie's [[MsFanservice hot chick]] an underage girl, make her boyfriend a legal adult, and literally stop the movie to explain why it's okay for them to pork.

** And:
--->''Leaving Valjean to now care for Cosette\\

One young man will give up everything\\
[[invoked]][[StrangledByTheRedString For a woman he's met through a fence]]\\

** The Honest Trailer for the sequel, ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'', is pretty cool about it, describing it as "another perfectly adequate Marvel movie".
*** This even gets a call back in the Honest Trailer of ''Film/{{Hulk}}'', when after describing its climax as "an impossible-to-see climax, that takes place at night, ''underwater'', against a cloud... thing." he adds that ''Thor: The Dark World'' looks "pretty good right now" in comparison.
** The Honest Trailer for ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', very apologetically, notes that it's pretty fun despite its storytelling problems:

** The Honest Trailer for ''Film/TheRevenant'' describes the more violent scenes as "so over the top it's one music change from being ''Series/{{Jackass}}''", showing some of the scenes set to "Corona" by Minutemen (the theme song of ''Jackass'') and with clips of the ''Jackass'' guys laughing their asses off.
* SpeakingSimlish: The Narrator points this out in ''Franchise/TheSims'':

** The Honest Trailer for ''Film/IronMan1'' describes a formulaic trend that will dominate subsequent Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse movies: "Take a half-forgotten, B-list superhero, cast an unknown or half-forgotten, B-list actor, have him fight a [[GenericDoomsdayVillain generic villain]] that will only last one movie, fall in love with a generically strong female character, [[DeadpanSnarker make a ton of quips]], [[TechnoBabble talk a bunch of science]], [[DestructiveSaviour destroy some public property]], [[TheCameo cram]] Creator/StanLee [[TheCameo in there somewhere]], [[PillarOfLight shoot a blue beam into the sky]], [[SequelHook set up an]] ''[[SequelHook Avengers]]'' [[SequelHook movie]], and force the audience to sit through 500 visual effects guys' names just to catch [[TheStinger a few extra seconds]]."
** ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'' gets jabbed for its use of Creator/{{Pixar}}'s success formula:
--->'''Narrator:''' [A]n emotionally jarring opening, a sentimental protagonist-wacky sidekick duo, and just enough [[ToiletHumor poop jokes]] to entertain your kids while the heartwrenching story makes you reevaluate your entire adult life.
* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe:
** In ''Film/TheDarkKnight'', the Bat-Armor "can withstand falls from any height, but sucks against bullets."
** Also, in ''Batman & Robin'', "watch Academy Award winning ladies' man Creator/GeorgeClooney [[MoneyDearBoy phone it in as Batman]], a hero capable of performing impossible feats... except for moving his neck. Or body."
* StupidCrooks: In ''Fast Five'', "gear up to steal $100 million with the dumbest criminals ever as they: take off their masks during robberies, go for leisurely strolls while all of Rio's drug gangs are after them, and drag race cop cars they just stole down the middle of the streets."
* StupidSexyFlanders:
** Both narrators ''really'' wanted [[Film/TheHungerGames Katniss to choose Gale instead of Peeta]].
--->'''Gannon Nickell:''' I mean, [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday I'm not gay]], but I would totally [[CensoredForComedy s*** Gale's d***!]]\\
'''Jon Bailey:''' I would totally choose Gale... ah, I mean, if I were Katniss... ah, screw it! Gale is hot and I would make out with that face in a heartbeat!
** Also, [[Film/TheForceAwakens Poe Dameron]], [[spoiler:who both agree has a beautiful face and that is a high point of the movie.]]
* SurpriseCreepy: About ''Disney/PeterPan'':
-->'''Narrator:''' Revisit the animated classic that will make you say: "This is way creepier than I remember it..."
* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: [[invoked]] Their opinion of ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier''.
-->'''Narrator:''' You weren't that impressed with [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger his first movie]]. He wasn't your favorite [[Film/TheAvengers2012 Avenger]]. Now, get ready for the sequel that made everyone say... "[[{{HSQ}} Holy s***]]! Who knew Captain America kicked so much ass?"
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial:
** "And when I say [[[Film/HarryPotter Hermione]] is] hot, I mean only in the ''last'' three movies after [the actress playing her] [[TotallyEighteen turned eighteen]]! Heh heh... [[HypocriticalHumor pervs]]!"
** In ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', Palpatine is credited as "Definitely ''Not'' the Emperor".
** In the ''Film/TheHungerGamesMockingjay -- Part 1'' Trailer, they give an unconvincing denial of looking at the Creator/JenniferLawrence nude leaks.
** At the end of the ''Flim/MagicMike'' trailer, the narrator insisted that he's not gay or weird... after spending the "Starring" part raving about ''abbbbbs'' and ''asssss'' and ''peccccs'' and having a FreudianSlip about wanting Creator/ChanningTatum, he didn't really fool anyone.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:T]]
* TakeThat: Pretty much the whole point of the majority of the trailers.
* TakeThatScrappy: [[invoked]] Besides Creator/ShaileneWoodley's performance, the only good thing the narrator has to say about ''Film/TheDivergentSeriesInsurgent'' is that Creator/JaiCourtney's character is killed off (a sort of BrickJoke to how much his performance was criticized in the ''Film/TerminatorGenisys'' Honest Trailer).
* TankGoodness: The Honest Game Trailer for ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight'' focuses mostly on how the Batmobile is esentially a tank. So much so that they call it ''Arkham: VideoGame/WorldOfTanks''.
* TechnologyMarchesOn: [[invoked]]
** In ''Film/JurassicPark'': "Re-experience [[VisualEffectsOfAwesome the ground-breaking CGI that still holds up after twenty years]], [shows shots of the park's 1990s computers] and all of this technology that doesn't."
** In ''Harry Potter'', Hogwarts is a place "where technology seems to have been frozen in the nineteenth century, replacing cell phones and the Internet with quill pens and owls."
** In ''Film/HomeAlone'', "bundle up and relive the early 1990s joy of Micro Machines, starting lineup figures, Johnny Carson, 35 mm cameras, landline phones, answering machines, pre-9/11 air travel, and Macaulay Culkin."
* TemptingFate: At the end of the ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' trailer:
--> '''Narrator:''' At least this is just one of those one-off internet fads that I won't have to play anymor-(''cue trailer for VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2'') Oh f***. We're gonna have a million of these, aren't we?
* ThatOneMove: [[invoked]] The Honest Game Trailer for ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrothers'' credits [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]] as "Down + B (Cut That Shit Out!)" in reference to his Lightning attack.
* ThatsWhatSheSaid:
** The narrator says this in the ''Film/ManOfSteel'' trailer in response to Lois Lane's attempts [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything to plug something into a hole and saying it's supposed to go all the way in]].
** The ''[[Film/ANewHope Star Wars]]'' trailer also played on this with all the {{Accidental Innuendo}}es in the movie's "[[FreudWasRight Freudian finale]]" (as the narrator put it):
-->"Luke is the best bush pilot in the Outer Rim Territories."\\
"Look at the size of that thing!"\\
"They came from behind."\\
"...should be able to penetrate the outer defense."\\
"Almost there... Almost there...!"\\
"Didn't go in."\\
"You're all clear, kid! Now let's blow this thing and go home!"\\
"Luke, at that speed, will y'be able to pull out in time?"
-->'''[[Series/TheOfficeUS Michael Scott]]:''' That's what she said! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
* ThemeTuneCameo: The requests at the beginning of ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'' are put in a way the PreviewsPulse that accompanies them plays the ''Terminator'' theme.
* TheUnintelligible:
** In ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'', chaos will arrive in the form of Bane, a villain who no one can fully understand.
** In the Honest Trailer for ''Film/TheExpendables'', the narrator lampshades this trope by asking "Was that even in English?" after one of Creator/SylvesterStallone's one liners.
* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: [[invoked]] The Honest Trailer for ''Film/DragonballEvolution'' chides it for ripping off other movies, such as the volcanic scenes from ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'', the super-fast punching fight scenes of ''Film/TheMatrix'' and the turqoise filter-filmed brooding of ''Film/{{Twilight}}'', showing the original scenes next to those of ''Dragonball'' for comparison.
* TheyJustDidntCare: [[invoked]] On a few rare occasions, the Honest Trailer will actually call the movie out for getting lazy in some part of the production.
** For ''Film/SupermanIVTheQuestForPeace'', they tear into the movie for its way of recycling shots of Superman flying, most notably one of him flying towards the screen they re-use '''nine times''' in the movie.
** In the ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction'' video, they point out how the makers didn't bother adding animation to some green screens shown on a series of monitors.
** They rip into ''Disney/TheJungleBook'', of all movies, for reusing several shots and character animations by giving them different lighting or mirroring them, showing the shots side by side for comparison. The video also shows how some shots from the movie made it into ''other'' Disney movies over the years, such as an animation of Mowgli being licked by the wolves being recycled in ''Disney/TheSwordInTheStone''.
--->'''Narrator:''' That's like... Creator/MichaelBay lazy!
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: [[invoked]]
** The Honest Trailer for ''Film/WorldWarZ'' knocks it because of how little of the novel's epic and colorful story was actually used in the film.
--->'''Narrator:''' Man, what a waste of good source material.
** The Honest Game Trailer for ''VideoGame/MadMax'' notes that since the game was inspired by ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'', it could have been made into a pretty awesome car combat game or a straightforward car racing game, but was instead made into a dull open world third person fighting game filled with countless tedious side objectives.
** The Honest Trailer for ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'' points out how much the movie suffered because of all the new characters and plot arcs that had to be forced into one movie and how much it had to accomplish, like setting up a movie franchise to rival the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse and create a sequel to ''Film/ManOfSteel'' as well as a standalone Batman story.
--->'''Narrator:''' Whose idea was it to cram all this into ''one'' movie? They just burnt through, like, six movies worth of good material!
* ThisIsGonnaSuck:
** The ''After Earth'' trailer begins with "From the director of... ''[Creator/MNightShyamalan's name appears on the screen]'' Oh God, not him again."
** Happens again in the trailer for another Shyamalan movie, ''Film/TheHappening'', which begins with "From M. Night Shyamalan... ''[{{beat}}]'' [[SarcasmMode Hoo boy, this should be good...]]"
* ThisLoserIsYou: "From Creator/JKRowling, the author of [[Literature/HarryPotter the book series]] that kept Borders open for another few years, comes the movie adaptation for people too lazy to read ''[shows clip of [[FatBastard Uncle Vernon]] grabbing a container of ice cream from the freezer]''."
* ThrowItIn: In-universe. In the ''Kingsman'' trailer, the narrator references how [[Creator/SamuelLJackson "Thamuel L. Jackthson"]] invoked this trope to give Valentine a lisp, and he wonders if the director was too scared to refuse.
* TimeSkip:
** In ''Skyfall'', "when Bond is abruptly killed, it'll only take the length of one Music/{{Adele}} song before he anticlimatically pops up in the most secluded corner of the globe. That conveniently has Creator/{{CNN}} in English."
** Also mocks the fact that in ''The Dark Knight Rises'', after Bane takes over Gotham, the movie skips over three months, during which there is only "one riot and zero gridlock. Seriously, where is everybody?"
** ''Les Miserables'' has "Not since ''The Dark Knight Rises'' has a movie been so manipulative with its use of time jumps."
* ToiletHumor: In the ''Film/GrownUps'' trailer, they deliberately criticize the overusage of toilet jokes.
* TokenMinority: In the ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' trailer, the Demoman (the only dark-skinned class) is said to have been added to the cast to add some diversity to it, [[BaitAndSwitch because he's Scottish]].
* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: {{Discussed|Trope}} in the Honest Trailer for ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'', which remarks that the revelation that the T-800 ''protects'' John Connor instead of hunting him was given away by the film's actual trailers. The Honest Trailer also remarks that ''Film/TerminatorGenisys'' apparently didn't learn from that mistake, since its actual trailers gave away the twist that [[spoiler:John Connor becomes a Terminator]].
* {{Troperiffic}}: The Honest Trailer for ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'' describes it as "cramming every genre trope it can fit" that belongs to the horror genre, like [[AbandonedMine abandoned]] [[AbandonedHospital locations]], [[LetsSplitUpGang characters splitting up to cover more ground]], and characters [[spoiler:[[DeathBySex being killed when trying to have sex]]]].
* TroubledProduction: [[invoked]]
** ''Film/WorldWarZ'', "a film with so many production problems, people were genuinely surprised when it ''wasn't'' a complete disaster."
** The ''Film/FantasticFour2015'' Honest Trailer mentions how messed up the production of the film was:
---> '''Narrator:''' Geez, what a mess. The movie about ''making this movie'' would be so much better than this movie!
** The Honest Game Trailer for ''VideoGame/MightyNo9'' tells about the game's several delays, terrible marketing and multiple Kickstarter drives; once for the actual game, one more for additional voice acting, a third one for DLC, and a fourth one that raised money for [[VideoGame/RedAsh a completely different game]].
* TrollingCreator: [[invoked]] The Honest Trailer for ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' describes Marvel as messing with their loyal audience with the movie, such as by getting Creator/VinDiesel to appear in movie, but only having say one line,[[note]]Which he actually recorded several times in different tones in different languages[[/note]] getting major actors such as Creator/GlennClose and Creator/JohnCReilly into the cast, but having them play minor roles, and having [[spoiler:[[ComicBook/HowardTheDuck the lead character]] of [[Film/HowardTheDuck their worst film ever]] appear in the post-credit sequence instead of a hint of the next ''Avengers'' movie]].
* TryingNotToCry:
** ''Film/TheFaultInOurStars'' trailer has the narrator making a game attempt at remaining snarky while summing up the climax of the film, only to break down by the end of it.
-->'''Narrator:''' ''[while sobbing]'' Enough! It's too sad! Just go to starring! Go!
** In ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs'' trailer, the narrator tries to hold back tears during [[spoiler:[[Heartwarming/TheLastOfUs the giraffe scene]]]].
* TypeCasting: Invoked in the trailer for ''Film/DieHard'' regarding Reginald [=VelJohnson=]:
-->'''Narrator:''' Meet Reginald [=VelJohnson=]. After he was the cop in ''Film/{{Ghostbusters|1984}}'', but before he was the cop in ''Series/FamilyMatters'', he was the cop in ''Film/DieHard''!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:U]]
* UnfortunateImplications:[[invoked]]
** From ''Transformers'': "But in the meantime, there's gratuitous porny shots of Creator/MeganFox, weird racism, and robot fights that erupt around random hot girls Creator/MichaelBay was trying to pork."
** From ''Film/TheNotebook'': "A love that taught an entire generation of women that it's perfectly okay to string along a sweet, handsome, supportive guy, as long as you're able to satisfy your every impulsive desire."
** They note that in ''Series/BreakingBad'', Walter White and Jesse Pinkman battle some of television's greatest villains, all of which happen to be angry Latino men (ay-ay-ay).[[note]]This requires ignoring the neo-Nazis in the final season.[[/note]]
** ''Film/HomeAlone'' makes a point of telling you to "Witness years of neglect and abuse take their toll on Kevin [=McCallister=] as he shows all the signs of becoming a sociopath, like: manipulation ''[shows Kate sending Kevin up to the third floor after the pizza incident]'', talking to himself ''[shows Kevin talking to himself in the mirror while using deodorant]'', entrapping two nonviolent criminals [Harry and Marv] inside [[Franchise/{{Saw}} a sadistic world of torture from which there is no escape]] ''[shows scene of Harry's head being set on fire with a blowtorch]'', but gosh darn that he's just the cutest little thing."
** From ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction'': "From a franchise known for objectifying hot, young women; prepare for a new low, as they make the movie's [[MsFanservice hot chick]] an underage girl, make her boyfriend a legal adult, and literally stop the movie to explain why it's okay for them to pork. [...] If only they put as much effort into justifying the plot as much as they did with having sex with a minor."
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: [[invoked]]
** The Honest Trailer for ''Film/IndependenceDay'' lists a bunch of [[TheNineties 90s]] nostalgia triggers from the movie, like [[TechnologyMarchesOn CD-ROMs]], Music/{{REM}} and Fruitopia.
** The Honest Trailer for ''Film/DieHard'' lists a bunch of things from the movie, which came out in [[TheEighties 1988]], that aren't as common today, such as cocaine, indoor smoking, pregnant drinking, making fun of touchscreens [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment and more cocaine]].
--->'''Narrator:''' ''[makes a loud sniffing sound]'' WHOOO! Best decade ''ever''!
** ''Film/Godzilla1998'' is mocked for how dated it is, with a list of [=90s=] stuff that appears in it, such as Kodak disposable cameras, Josta Cola,[[note]]Discontinued in 1999[[/note]] Blockbuster video stores and the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center being described as the worst case of destruction on U.S. soil, the last of which obviously feels very dated after 9/11.
** The Honest Trailer for ''[[WesternAnimation/XMen X-Men: The Animated Series]]'' notes that while it feels very dated, with its old technology and references to [=90s=] pop culture, the show is still enjoyable.

[[folder:V]]
* ValuesDissonance: They invoked and poke fun at Disney about this in the ''Disney/PeterPan'' trailer, first by doing a montage of the sexism in the movie before moving on to showing the unfortunate portrayal of Native Americans. It then goes on to show all the other racial stereotypes in the other Disney films.
* VerbalTic / ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: In ''Series/BreakingBad'', "meet Walter White's partner Jesse Pinkman, a Juggalo without the makeup who prefers the formal term for female dog." ''[Cues a montage of every instance of Jesse saying "bitch"]''

-->'''Narrator:''' A film based on a comic book, based on an [[Film/The300Spartans older film]], based on [[WrittenByTheWinners Ancient Greek propaganda]], based on a [[UsefulNotes/GrecoPersianWars true story]]!
* ViewersAreGoldfish: In the honest trailer for ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts'', the narrator explains that you'll travel along with two of the most famous cartoon characters of all time (Donald Duck and Goofy), "but don't worry if you forget everyone's name, because they remind you every five seconds." ''[Montage of them introducing themselves as "Sora, Donald and Goofy") And then the narrator calls them "[[{{Webcomic/Dolan}} Dolan and Gooby]]" when he continues.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: [[invoked]]
** They mistake Creator/EllenPage for a boy in ''Inception''. And [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Legolas]] for [[{{Bishonen}} Gwyneth Paltrow]].
** Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter is mistaken for Creator/TimBurton in ''Les Miserabablebles''.
** The narrator got smacked with this hard InUniverse in the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' trailer.
--->'''Narrator:''' You'll also join forces with hot chicks like... Tifa... [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Aeris/th]]... and Sephiroth, whose beautiful silver hair, slender hips, and deep green eyes will leave you breath-- ''[shirtless Sephiroth appears]'' wait, he's a dude!? Aw man! I have his picture up in my bedroom!
* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: The Narrator jokes that Peeta's role in ''[[Film/TheHungerGamesCatchingFire Catching Fire]]'' as "his never ending journey to [[JustFriends escape the friendzone.]]"
-->"Holy shit that worked. Not bad, Cake Boss, not bad."
* VillainHasAPoint: According to the Narrator, the human antagonists in the ''Film/XMen'' movies:
-->'''Narrator:''' Watch as all mutant-kind must band together to defeat evil government officials out to prove that mutants are dangerous... which they totally ''are''! ''[cue montage of mutants being dangerous with [[SoundtrackDissonance comedic music playing over it]], ending with Charles Xavier being brainwashed into snuffing out humans with his mind.]''
* VillainyFreeVillain: The Narrator considers Khan to be this in ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness''.
-->'''Narrator:''' [Khan]'s a ruthless villain so diabolical he'll... not kill Spock ''[Khan shoots Spock's gun out of his hand]'', let Kirk express his feelings ''[Khan does nothing while Kirk punches him repeatedly]'', and [[StrawmanHasAPoint ultimately be completely justified in his actions]]. ''[Khan talks about wanting to save his family]'' ...you've gotta admit, he's got a point.
* VomitDiscretionShot: TheStinger for ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'' shows how different it would be had Ariel's top half been a fish instead of her bottom half. Eric covers his mouth as if he were about to toss his cookies.

* WallOfText: The narrator starts to detail the master plan of Lex Luthor in ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', but then gives up, and details the convoluted plan in a very long text.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: [[invoked]]
** The narrator points out that ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie'' would be very different if told in another medium:
--->'''Narrator:''' Laugh along at the mix of expert [=CGI=] and comically bad Live Action -- that covers up the horrific reality of what you're actually watching! Like this cop killing his own parents! The destruction of an entire city... the brutal beheading of one of the films heroes! And the fact that [[spoiler:this father and son have created a sentient universe in their basement that they can destroy at any time!]]
** The narrator has a similar reaction to ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'':
--->'''Narrator:''' Follow along with this kids' film slash noir crime thriller full of bright colors, cute characters, allegories to contemporary racial and... class politics... police discrimination... affirmative action... tokenism... sexism... and racial slurs?
* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: [[invoked]] The Honest Trailer of ''Film/SuperMarioBros'' asks how much acid the filmmakers took. After seeing the infamously InNameOnly Goombas dancing with each other, the narrator decides "Okay, all of it. All of the acid."
