History WebVideo / TheHorriblySlowMurdererWithTheExtremelyInefficientWeapon

A parody trailer, ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VDvgL58h_Y The Horribly Slow Murderer With the Extremely Inefficient Weapon]]'' pokes fun at the horror genre, particularly the so-called "TorturePorn" movies like ''Film/{{Saw}}'' and ''Film/{{Hostel}}'' which focus on, well, see the title. It stars Paul Clemens as a man who is suddenly attacked by a supernatural being (Brian Rohan) for a (possibly imagined) slight against the Powers That Be. This attack is made with a normal spoon, the bowl struck sharply against the target's body, and is seldom ceased. The victim is sent spiraling past the brink of insanity from the constant flogging, and resorts to continually, and comedically, extreme lengths to get rid of his tormentor, all ending in failure, and in some cases even backfiring immensely.

* BilingualBonus: The victim in the story is Jack Cucchiaio. The murderer is called the Ginosaji. "Cucchiaio" and "Gin no saji" are Italian and Japanese, respectively, for "spoon" and "silver spoon".

* [[spoiler:TheBadGuyWins:]] In all the videos so far.

* [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn: Jack decides to "become" a Ginosaji to stop the torment. [[HilarityEnsues It doesn't work. At all.]]]]

* CerebusSyndrome: By Ginosaji vs. Ginosaji, Jack's situation is so pitiful that it's becoming hard to find it funny, culminating in him being dragged an indeterminate amount of miles by a bus(while still being hit with a spoon) and then suffocated(while still being hit with a spoon) to the point that he hallucinates about a "Happy place," only to wake up in a full body cast[[RuleOfThree (while still being hit with a spoon.)]] He eventually attempts to kill himself by jumping off a building.. which still fails.

* CerebusSyndrome: By Ginosaji vs. Ginosaji, Jack's situation is so pitiful that it's becoming hard to find it funny.

* RealTrailerFakeMovie

* HoistByItsOwnPetard: Hilariously [[AvertedTrope averted]] in the follow-up video ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9-faa56l-s Spoon vs Spoon]]'', in which Jack decides to attack the Ginosaji with its own weapon: a spoon. [[spoiler:The Ginosaji merely knocks it out of his hand, picks it up and starts beating him up with both spoons]].

* AllJustADream: [[spoiler: [[Franchise/StarWars Spoon Wars]]]]. Even in his dreams, Jack can't fight off the Ginosagi.
* [[AHandfulForAnEye A Mouthful For An Eye]]: In Spoon Wars, Jack impales the Ginosagi with a lightsaber. The Ginosagi then spits a mouthful of black blood into Jack's eyes, blinding him.

* InTheHood: The Ginosagi sports a black hoodie.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: At the end of the ''Kick Him in the Crotch'' interactive video, Jack's vomit repeatedly covers up the superimposed Try Again image. The narrator replaces the graphic each time, only for it to [[NauseaFuel get covered in vomit]] again.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Jack will die by being hit by a spoon... eventually. And it's definitely cruel.
** Especially cruel since the Ginosaji actually prevents Jack from killing himself at different points in the trailer. Not only will the killer eventually kill Jack, he will not allow him any opportunity to cheat the Ginosaji of delivering the death blow.

* TheDeterminator: The Ginosaji will not stop. Ever. The dark energies animating his body will not allow rest... neither for him, nor Jack.
* {{Defictionalization}}: ''The Movie itself.''

* ImplacableMan: The spoon-wielding murderer takes a knife to the throat, gunshots, and [[spoiler:two explosions]] without any harm done.
* InformedAbility: Jack is supposedly a forensic pathologist. We never get to see him at work.
* InTheHood: The Ginosagi.

** Jack arms himself with all types of guns to beat a villain wielding only a spoon. [[spoiler:AND THE VILLAIN WINS BECAUSE HE'S INVINCIBLE!]]
** Another scene that would qualify is that, [[spoiler:when the Ginosaji's spoon finally breaks, he backs off for a moment, then ominously opens his hoodie to reveal that his shirt has a dozen more spoons hanging from it. WordOfGod confirms that the Ginosaji has an infinite number of spoons hanging from it.]]

* OutOfTheInferno: The Ginosaji did this [[spoiler:after Jack tried to blow him up with a lot of TNT]].

* PoliceAreUseless: Somewhat justified, as the movie suggests Jack is never able to get any solid enough evidence for Police assistance, and even if he did they probably couldn't do anything.

* ScratchDamage: The spoon is more irritating than actually harmful, but over the course of 10 years does some serious damage.

* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: Jack ends up traveling the galaxy to find something to kill the Ginosaji. He ends up finding a [[StarWars lightsaber]]. [[spoiler:[[FailureIsTheOnlyOption It doesn't work.]] And it was AllJustADream anyway. Poor Jack]].

* YouCantFightFate: See CruelAndUnusualDeath

* CerberusSyndrome: By Ginosaji vs. Ginosaji, Jack's situation is so pitiful that it's becoming hard to find it funny.

* Defictionalized: ''The Movie itself.''

** Jack arms himself with all types of guns to beat a villain wielding only a spoon. [[spoiler:AND THE VILLAIN WINS DUE TO INVINCIBILIY!]]

* GroinAttack: Inverted, as the Ginosaji throws the spoon at Jack, armed with a buzzsaw... and winds up making him cutting his testes off.

* GoneHorriblyWrong: In "Save Jack: The Interactive Adventure", the [[spoiler:"Wear Protective Clothing" option backfires on Jack since the noise from his helmet being whacked with a spoon drives him to madness. It's so horrible that he ''begs'' the Ginosaji to go back to beating the rest of his body. The Ginosaji, realizing the [[FateWorseThanDeath helmet beating is more effective torture]], ignores him and even [[AndIMustScream puts the helmet back on Jack when he tries to take it off]].]]

After the immense success of the original parody trailer, ''The Horribly Slow Murderer With the Extremely Inefficient Weapon'' (abbreviated HSMWEIW) has become a Website/YouTube series, including an "Ask Jack" featuring an interview with the victim an interactive adventure, and a new mini-series called "Ginosaji Vs. Ginosaji".

** In "Save Jack: The Interactive Adventure", picking the Giant Magnet option will lead to this. The magnet actually works and stops the Ginosaji from using his spoons [[spoiler:until he pulls out a ''wooden'' spoon. To Jack's dismay, being beaten with a big wooden spoon is even more painful than being hit with a small metal one.[[note]]Arguably, though, it's the best possible ending, since it at least gives Jack a moment of hope and a break from the spoon.[[/note]]]]

** Jack arms himself with all types of guns to beat a villain wielding only a spoon. [[spoiler:AND THE VILLAIN WINS!]]

* GoneHorriblyWrong: Really, though, ''everything'' that Jack tries fails miserably. A notable example is from "Save Jack: The Interactive Adventure". The [[spoiler:"Wear Protective Clothing" option backfires on Jack since the noise from his helmet being whacked with a spoon drives him to madness. It's so horrible that he ''begs'' the Ginosaji to go back to beating the rest of his body. The Ginosaji, realizing the [[FateWorseThanDeath helmet beating is more effective torture]], ignores him and even [[AndIMustScream puts the helmet back on Jack when he tries to take it off]].]] * GroinAttack: Inverted, as the Ginosaji throws the spoon at Jack, armed with a buzzsaw... and winds up making him cutting his testes off.
** Another notable example is "Spoon VS Spoon", where Jack tries to hit the Ginosaji with a spoon. The ginosaji [[spoiler: whacks the spoon out of his hand & has since been shown hitting Jack with 2 spoons]]. The "Special message from Jack" has our poor hero [[WhatTheHellHero raging at Cinema795 for his idea]].
