[[http://www.youtube.com/user/GrittyReboots?feature=watch Gritty Reboots]] is a series of videos where various stories are re-imagined in the style of DarkerAndEdgier movie trailers.

So far, Gritty Reboots has done:
* ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon''
* ''VideoGame/PokemonSnap''
* ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes''
* ''Literature/GoodnightMoon''
* ''Creator/{{PBS}}'' (AKA ''Creator/{{PBS}}'' Meets ''Film/TheAvengers'')
* ''XboxOne'': A Space Odyssey
* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''
* ''If You Give A Mouse A Cookie''

----
These videos provide examples of:

* ActionizedSequel: More like an Actionized Adaptation, if the Pokemon Snap trailer was actually the movie of the game as the trailer implies, it is a ''lot'' more action-filled than ''VideoGame/PokemonSnap'' was.
** Ditto for ''Adventure Time''.
* AscendedMeme: The ''PBS'' trailer focuses on some of their central TV personalities teaming up to combat reality TV and give kids some real education. Shortly afterwards, PBS station Thirteen put up a [[http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/ads-pbs-station-invent-ludicrous-fake-reality-shows-youd-still-probably-watch-149888 series of subway ads]] deriding reality television and telling viewers to support quality TV. [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Coincidence? We think NOT!]]
* DarkerAndEdgier: The central premise.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: Karen from ''Harvest Moon'' hates milk enough to smash it against the ground when she gets it as a gift.
* FlyAtTheCameraEnding:[[spoiler:Charizard smashes through the Pokemon Snap logo in its trailer, as it flies.]]
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Hobbes tells Calvin this when they wonder if the Devil is real.
* MilestoneCelebration: Parodied in the Pokemon Snap trailer with "Celebrate the 14th anniversary"!
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Mineral Town's Mayor seems to be this in the ''Harvest Moon'' trailer.
* VisualPun: "What do they got in there? A Rhydon?" [[spoiler: The protagonist of Pokemon Snap says this as he rides into the Pokelogical Reserve.]]
* WholePlotReference: "Xbox One" is this for ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''.
* YourMindMakesItReal: Calvin has trouble with this, in the ''Calvin and Hobbes'' trailer. But as Suzy points out, maybe he wants what he imagines to be real...

This is not an actual example of Dont Explain The Joke. Please don\'t pothole it unless it\'s a joke that is explained, which ruins the joke.
