** [[Film/Skyfall M]] as Lindsay Lohan.

* TakeThat: For the ''Film/{{Titanic}}'' 3D rerelease trailer. 3D so real you can actually feel JamesCameron stealing money from your pockets. It made Cameron "filthy fucking rich".

* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: "To get back his children, [[Film/Inception Cobb]]'s team will have to fight anonymous dream soldiers who have no idea how to hit anything with an automatic weapon."

* OverlyLongGag: One example is from the ''Lord of the Rings'' trailer. They describe the whole trilogy as an eleven hour New Zealand tourism commercial filled of walking, roaming, hiking, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment more walking]], and strolling.

* TakeThat: For the ''Film/Titanic'' 3D rerelease trailer. It's described as "3D so real you can actually feel James Cameron stealing money from your pocket." It's the movie that made Cameron "filthy fucking rich".
* TheUnintelligible: "But chaos will arrive in the form of [[Film/TheDarkKnightRises Bane]], a villain who no one can fully understand."
* ViewerGenderConfusion: [[{{In-universe}} They mistake]] EllenPage for a boy. And [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Legolas]] for [[{{Bishonen}} Gwyneth Paltrow]].

* WorldOfPun: Actors names are often punned when read. For instance, "[[MichaelCaine My Cocaine]]" for ''TheDarkKnightRises'' and "[[NoomiRapace Noomi Rapeface]]" for ''Film/Prometheus''.

* OverlyLongGag: One example is from the ''Lord of the Rings'' trailer. They describe the whole trilogy as an eleven hour New Zealand tourism commercial filled of walking, roaming, hiking, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment more walking]], and roaming.

* HoYay: InUniverse. "From the award winning visual effects team that launched the career of [[Creator/AndySerkis one man]] [[TakeThat who must now wear skintight Spandex and face dots]] [[Film/KingKong for the rest of his life]], comes a movie bursting with so much manly compassion, you'll think you're watching ''[[Film/BrokebackMountain Brokeback Mount Doom]]''."

* BrutalHonesty

* TheCameo: [[spoiler:RedLetterMedia in ''The Dark Knight Rises''.]]
* DistractedByTheSexy: All over the place in ''Avatar''.

* IdenticalStranger:
** In ''Inception'', they present KenWatanabe as "Creator/GeorgeTakei".

* WorldOfPun: Actors names are often punned when read. For instance, "[[MichaelCaine My Cocaine]]" and "[[NoomiRapace Noomi Rapeface]]".

* MaleGaze: As they introduce AnneHathaway [[Film/TheDarkKnightRises as Catwoman]], the shot zooms in to her butt, while the narrator calls her "[[Film/ThePrincessDiaries The Prince-ASS Diaries]]". They use the shot of her using the Batpod cannons to blow up a barricade of cars blocking a tunnel.

** Also, in the ''Inception'' trailer, they have in the "starring" part, "The Cast of ''TheDarkKnightRises''". In return, ''TheDarkKnightRises'' has "and starring The Cast of ''Inception''. This may be a nod to [[ThoseTwoActors the fact that there are six actors]] from ''Inception'' that have roles in a Nolan Batman film, five alone in ''The Dark Knight Rises'':
*** MichaelCaine ("My Cocaine"), Professor Stephen Miles in ''Inception'' and Alfred in ''The Dark Knight Rises''
*** MarionCotillard: Mal Cobb in ''Inception'', Miranda Tate in ''The Dark Knight Rises''
*** CillianMurphy: Robert Michael Fischer in ''Inception'', Dr. Jonathan Crane / Scarecrow in ''The Dark Knight Rises''
*** KenWatanabe: Mr. Saito in ''Inception'', the decoy Ra's in ''BatmanBegins''
*** TomHardy: Eames in ''Inception'', Bane in ''The Dark Knight Rises''
*** JosephGordonLevitt: Arthur in ''Inception'', Det. John Blake in ''The Dark Knight Rises''

** [[{{Joseph Gordon-Levitt}} Arthur]] as "the son from Series/ThirdRockFromTheSun."

* TheUnintelligible: "But chaos will arrive in the form of [[Film/TheDarkKnightRises Bane]], who no one can fully understand."

* EndingFatigue: [[{{In-universe}} Parodied]] at the end of their ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' trailer, which ends [[spoiler:three]] times.

* MaleGaze: As they introduce AnneHathaway [[Film/TheDarkKnightRises as Catwoman]], the shot zooms in to her butt, while the narrator calls her "[[Film/ThePrincessDiaries The Prince-ASS Diaries]]".
* ManipulativeEditing: They're not always so honest and sometimes will adjust elements of shots. For instance, when they complain that first half hour of ''Film/TheAvengers'' is surprisingly boring, they use a seeming casual shot of ComicBook/BlackWidow, ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, and [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]] on a quiet dock, when in the actual film the audio in the background is of [[spoiler:''the Helicarrier taking flight'']].

* MrFanservice: "[[{{Film/Titanic}} Jack]] is an unrealistically sexy peasant..."
* MsFanservice: "...and Rose is a [[TroubledButCute suicidal pair of boobs]]."

* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: "...[[Film/TheDarkKnight The Bat-Armor]], which can withstand falls from any height ''[cue images of Batman falling onto Scarecrow's van and onto a taxicab]'', but sucks against bullets. ''[cue shot of Harvey Dent shooting Batman]''"

They'll describe movies with such BrutalHonesty nobody would even want to watch it if they saw this trailer in theaters. Key targets will be excessive {{Plot Hole}}s, strange characterization, obvious ProductPlacement, ''more'' plot holes, SpecialEffectsFailure, and even more {{Plot Hole}}s. Ah, but who are they kidding, [[MST3KMantra often times they still love these movies.]]

** Catwoman doesn't escape their oogles either.

* RuleOfCool: From ''Film/TheAvengers'', they point out their disbelief at how the ComicBook/IncredibleHulk could suddenly and inexplicably control his rage, but followed that up with: "which doesn't matter, because that shot was ''awesome''."

* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: "...[[Film/TheDarkKnight the Bat-Armor]], which can withstand falls from any height, but sucks against bullets."

-->'''Narrator''': But in the meantime, there's gratuitous porny shots of MeganFox, weird racism, and robot fights that are wrapped around random hot girls Creator/MichaelBay was trying to pork.
