A parody trailer, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VDvgL58h_Y The Horribly Slow Murderer With the Extremely Inefficient Weapon]]'' pokes fun at the horror genre, particularly the "TorturePorn" movies like ''Franchise/{{Saw}}'' and ''Film/{{Hostel}}'' which focus on, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin 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 [[HoistByHisOwnPetard backfiring immensely]].

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 [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption which cannot be won]], and a new mini-series called "Ginosaji Vs. Ginosaji".

** At the end of the original film, [[spoiler:the spoon breaks and Jack looks relieved that his torment has finally ended, then the Ginosaji unzips his hoodie and reveals he has at least a dozen more spoons strapped to his chest]].

** At the end of the original film, [[spoiler:the spoon breaks, but the Ginosaji has a dozen more under his coat]].

A ''real'' movie version, titled ''Ginosaji'', is currently in pre-production. [[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/richardgale/ginosaji-the-horribly-slow-murderer-movie-project Here is the Kickstarter page for it.]]

* ImmortalAssassin: See below.

* PsychoShowerMurderParody

* YouCantFightFate: See CruelAndUnusualDeath.

* [[LethalHarmlessPowers Whack]] [[CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon His Heart Out With A Spoon]]: TheMovie no less.

* RealityEnsues: In Ginosaji vs. Ginosaji, jack tries to become a ginosaji and go around hitting someone with a spoon. As he is not in fact a nigh-invulnerable demon like the real ginosaji, it doesn't work out too well.

* NevernedingTerror: The Ginosaji attacks his victims with a blunt spoon. They typically die of terror and/or boredom when they realize that he just. Wont. ''Stop.''

* CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon: Provides the trope image even if it is more "hit him with a spoon billions of times until he dies".

* CutPhoneLines: Spoofed; it takes a long time when you try cutting it with a spoon, but Jack can't get through anyway due to ForInconveniencePressOne.

* AllJustADream: [[spoiler: [[Franchise/StarWars Spoon Wars]]]]. Even in his dreams, Jack can't fight off the Ginosaji.

* AwesomeButImpractical: All what Ginosaji to bring Jack into this misery is whacking him with a spoon, and not use the spoon in other methods of killing such as [[CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon Cutting his heart/eyes out with a spoon]]. The awesome part is... [[DontExplainTheJoke care to explain]]?

* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9-faa56l-s In this follow up.]] [[spoiler: It [[GoneHorriblyWrong doesn't work out]] for Jack.]]

* 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". The seal that appears in the video repeatedly also says spoon as the english pronunciation (スプン, pronounced su-pu-n) in Japanese katakana. (It is not the native term for spoon though.)

* 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 attempts to kill himself by jumping off a building.. which still fails. It's hard not to feel sorry for him, even though his plight is PlayedForLaughs.

* GroinAttack: Inverted, as the Ginosaji throws the spoon at Jack, armed with a buzzsaw... and Jack winds up making him cutting his testes off.
** In "Save Jack: The Interactive Adventure" if the "Wear Protective Clothing" option is picked, the Ginosaji hits Jack in the groin before he can put on his cup. If the "Kick him in the Crotch" option is picked, [[spoiler:it [[{{Squick}} backfires horribly]].]]

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: 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]].

* KarmaHoudini: So far, the Ginosaji has avoided karmic retribution for his torture of Jack.

* 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. It's hard not to feel incredibly sorry for him, even though his plight is PlayedForLaughs.

A ''real'' movie version, titled ''Ginosaji'', has been in the planning stages for quite some time. A Kickstarter to fund it is slated for September 2015.

* CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon: TheMovie no less

* [[AHandfulForAnEye A Mouthful For An Eye]]: In Spoon Wars, Jack impales the Ginosaji with a lightsaber. The Ginosaji then spits a mouthful of black blood into Jack's eyes, blinding him.
* [[CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon Beat Him With a Spoon]]: TheMovie no less

* [[DeathOfAThousandCuts Death Of A Billion Strikes By A Spoon]]: The Ginosaji does this to Jack.

* [[DualWielding Dual Spooning]]: In the sequel, [[spoiler:Jack gets a spoon to fight against the swatter and he winds up losing the spoon to him]].

* [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks Throwing Your Spoon Always Works]]:
** A rare instance where the villain uses this trope.

* {{Defictionalization}}: The Movie itself.

** 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.]]
