* ''WebVideo/HonestTrailers'' is a mix of this and AccentuateTheNegative. The announcer voice is further spoofed when they added as TheStinger him saying user-suggested things such as [[InherentlyFunnyWords "glockenspiel"]] and [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} "Pikachu, I choose you".]]

* The trailer for {{the film of|TheBook}} ''Film/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'' was narrated by the ''Guide'', as an entry in the ''Guide'' on movie trailers, spoken by Creator/StephenFry. It consisted of one continuous LampshadeHanging and parody of science fiction action movie tropes. It can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbGNcoB2Y4I here]].

[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVDzuT0fXro The trailer for ''Comedian'']] (yep, that's really Hal Douglas, the "East Coast In-A-World Guy") does a good job of showing how certain styles of trailer-talk are not always appropriate. See TheyFightCrime for this kind of plot-pitching used for {{UsefulNotes/Television}}.

** This has since been condensed to simply 'This summer/fall/July/whathaveyou'; in particularly poisonous cases, this is followed several cuts later by an exhortation for the audience to [[TheyFightCrime PUNCH CRIME]], or "Discover", or otherwise do something that the characters in the film will be doing (rather than, more sincerely, exhorting them to purchase a ticket and see their film) They may also be asked to go on an adventure "beyond imagination", or beyond something similar. This was perhaps a fair cop in ''Film/{{Zardoz}}'''s advertising campaign (well, it was in keeping with the lunatic bombast of the film, at least), but when attributed to the ''Film/TheMummyTrilogy'' films, it just looks desperate.
