Narrator: ...but who cares, now he owns a *** island!- This post-title opening line:

- The inverted Serial Escalation in regards to YA book-to-film adaptations:Narrator: You went wild over The Hunger Games, you went less wild over Divergent, now prepare to be mildly interested(?) in another franchise that panders to the exact same demographic in the hopes that they'll make enough money to split the last book into two movies.

- What The Glade is and what its inhabitants do:Narrator: Welcome to The Glade, a society of grown men actors playing teenage boys who spend their days farming, dancing, and exploring instead of just jerking off all the time.

[shows a clip from the family film Jack Frost (1998)] No, the other Jack Frost [shows the poster of Jack Frost (1997)] That's the one!
- The narrator briefly becomes sympathetic of the Leprechaun, or more exactly, the actor who plays him:Narrator: Watch them team up to defeat evil the only way they know how: Spending ninety minutes beating the sh*t out of respected English actor Warwick Davis. [cue montage of the Leprechaun getting beaten up and shot] Hey, leave Willow alone!
- The narrator saying that the movie "seems intentionally created for a St. Patrick's Day Drinking Game":Narrator: Take a shot everytime: The Leprechaun says who he is, [shows montage of the Leprechaun saying that he's the Leprechaun] says what he wants, [shows montage of the Leprechaun saying that he wants his gold] someone doesn't believe in the Leprechaun, [shows Tory and Alex insisting on that the Leprechaun doesn't exist] Irish culture gets set back decades, [shows O'Grady speaking about the Leprechaun in a thick Irish accent] or little people's rights gets set back centuries. [shows the Leprechaun saying that "the wee people have their magical ways", and Alex slingshooting at the Leprechaun] Oh man, we are so gonna get wasted.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

Interstellar

- When the narrator starts to cite Christopher Nolan's trademarks, he ends with "the dumbed-down analogy so the audience can keep up". After watching it, however, he says:Narrator: Hey! You stole that from Event Horizon! [shows a scene from said film in which Sam Neill's character does the same analogy]
- Even the soundtrack isn't safe:Narrator: [The film] assaults your ears with emotional swells that sound like Hans Zimmer fell asleep on his organ [cue montage of scenes from the film accompanied by an organ that sounds increasingly louder, to the point the narrator says:] Ah, turn it, turn it down! I can't hear my own epic voice!
- The narrator's take on the ending:Narrator: So try to follow along with the film that was praised by no less than Neil deGrasse Tyson for scientific accuracy, even though it goes full-blown M. Night Shyamalan at the end that consists of: [takes a deep breath, then goes to summarize the Gainax-ish Ending of the film]. Go ahead, tell us that didn't happen.

Daredevil
- Daredevil (aka Batfleck Begins):
- "Before Netflix and Marvel Studios team up to hopefully do the character justice, return to the early 2000's, when superhero movies were still full of crappy CGI, Matrixing, Sopranos,note and -izzies."
- "With his eyesight taken from him, [Matt Murdoch] uses his other four senses to see perfectly, yet he still dresses like a blind guy to score sympathy points with hot chicks, [and shows Matt doing just that with Elektra] which gives Ben Affleck an excuse to show off his stupid cross-eyed Derp Face."Narrator: Ermahgerd, it's the Derpdevil!
- When the narrator lists "the grab bag of superpowers" that Daredevil has ("super jumping, creepy smelling, and super heart rate monitoring"), he realizes that, despite its potential, that last power somehow doesn't help Matt Murdoch as a lawyer:Narrator: So he's a human lie detector, and he still can't win a case? Wow. Just, wow.
- The narrator nodding off after hearing Matt Murdoch's voiceovers.Narrator: [snores loudly, then wakes up] I'm sorry, what?
- The narrator concludes that Ben Affleck's portrayal of Daredevil is his "really disappointing audition to be the next Batman":Narrator: Where he plays a broody loner who becomes a vigilante crime-fighter after his dad is murdered by criminals in an alley, uses a ridiculous Batman voice when he's in costume, travels by grappling hook, is scared of bats, and refuses to kill.
[shows Daredevil letting a rapist who was acquitted be ran over by a train, and throwing Bullseye from the top floor of a church]

- In The Stinger, after showing Daredevil's two D's Flaming Emblem:Narrator: Ummm... shoudn't that be in Braille?
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Teaser
- They perfectly captured the arguments of countless online threads in the first 40 seconds:Is it really surprising that a movie starring the two most iconic superheroes would be controversial?
Everybody loves Superman. Who doesn't love Superman?
Yeah, but they couldn't even make a good Superman movie!
They're just cramming in the whole Justice League!
DC has a horrible track record. Green Lantern (2011)? I mean, come on!
Hello? The Dark Knight Trilogy. Christopher Nolan is totally involved in this, you're just a butthurt Marvel fanboy. Ant-Man looks stupid. There, I said it.
Not every comic book movie has to be fun. What are we, twelve?
Stop with the brooding! The only one who gets to brood is Batman! They all can't be brooding!
Maybe Zack Snyder is just a guy trying to make a good movie.
It looks like Sucker Punch! - The narrator Saying Sound Effects Out Loud (more exactly, the Previews Pulse), before doing his own take of what Batman would've asked to Superman (instead of if Superman bled):Narrator as Batman: Tell me: Is my Batman voice better than Christian Bale's? I mean, it has to be, right?
- The clear prevalence of Batman over Superman in the teaser and the introduction of many characters who'll be main characters in the Justice League film makes them give it the alternative title of "Batman ft. Superman: Rush to the Justice League."
Hulk
- Hulk (aka Sulk):
- The narrator makes it clear from the beginning that he thinks that this portrayal of the Hulk got the short stick.Narrator: You loved Mark Ruffalo. You tolerated Edward Norton. But admit it, you forgot about Eric Bana until I said his name just now.

- The narrator isn't amused with the idea of Cerebus Syndrome being given to a giant green rage-filled monster who smashes things.Narrator: [angry, as the Hulk looks introspectively at a bush] Stop staring at that bush and hit something!
- The narrator says that the movie "covers up its total lack of action with super wacky scene transitions!"Narrator: [after a montage of the movie's scene transitions, set to wacky music that sounds similar to "The Green Hornet Theme"] Wow. [sarcastically] It's just like reading a comic book. A terrible, boring comic book.
- The narrator points out that 2003 CGI made Hulk look like, among other things, Shrek.Narrator: Hulk is love. Hulk is life.
- The narrator describing the climax:Narrator: An impossible-to-see climax, that takes place at night, underwater, against a... cloud... dad... thing. [Beat] Thor: The Dark World is looking pretty good right now, huh?
- The narrator makes it clear from the beginning that he thinks that this portrayal of the Hulk got the short stick.
Fifty Shades of Grey
- Fifty Shades of Grey (aka Fifty Shades of-- Great, There's Gonna be Two More of These, Good Job World)
- The narrator initially confuses Anastasia for Bella Swan, but before he corrects himself, he sees how similar they look and decides "You know what, screw it. Meet Bella Swan!"
- The perfectly deadpan response to a line:Anastasia Steele: What are butt plugs?
Narrator: [flatly] It's a plug. For your butt. - The narrator doesn't care if Christian Grey is a complete sociopath when he's got these...Narrator: AAAAAAAAAAbs, and AAAAAAAAAudis, and AAAAAAAAA... really nice apartment.
- But he's also disappointed with the movie's contents:Narrator: So strap in for all the steamy action people were expecting from Fifty Shades of Grey, like: email, texting, contracts, contract negotiations, nondisclosure agreements, conditions, clauses, and tender missionary lovemaking. What the fuck?! Let's get kinky weird- Epic Voice Guy has a dull marriage, man!
- In lieu of a "Starring" section, we get a "Not Starring" section, composed of Epic Voice Guy reading all the terrible lines that were cut from the movie... only to cap off by giving us the one line that did: "'Cuz I'm fifty shades of f*cked up."Narrator: Ugh, what does that even mean?!
- The background music (a slowed-down, breathy, sexed-up parody of Beyonce's "Crazy in Love"):This movie's written so lazy right now, the book that it was based on so lazy right now... I wish somebody would taze me right now, this story's about as a sexy as rabies right now... Oh, I'll just go and watch a porno.
Jupiter Ascending
- Jupiter Ascending (aka Wachowskis Descending)
- The film's plot is so completely insane that, after covering the cast and characters, they don't even bother to make jokes anymore — they spend the next two minutes recapping the film because it's just so ridiculous and nonsensical that summarizing it is funny enough. All they do is add "Not Making This Up" Disclaimers."This is the actual plot of the movie." (twice)
"Seriously, we're not making this up."
"Someone paid a hundred and seventy-five million dollars for this."
"How was this allowed to happen?"
"This was actually screened at Sundance."
"Yes, those are wolf ears on Channing Tatum."
"If you think this trailer is dragging on too long, try watching the movie."
"We didn't even mention the huge maxi pad." - The Honest Trailer was released shortly after Balem's actor, Eddie Redmayne, won an Oscar for Best Actor for The Theory of Everything. After seeing his performance in Ascending, the narrator wonders if Oscars can be retroactively taken away.
- Also, listing Balem in his unique style of speaking: "[whisper] Eddie... [shouting] REDMAYNE!"
- "Wait... Sean Bean dies in every good movie, but survives this one?!"
- The film's plot is so completely insane that, after covering the cast and characters, they don't even bother to make jokes anymore — they spend the next two minutes recapping the film because it's just so ridiculous and nonsensical that summarizing it is funny enough. All they do is add "Not Making This Up" Disclaimers.
Armageddon
- Armageddon (1998) (aka Drill Hard)
- Right out of the gate, the narrator clarifies his stance on Michael Bay:Narrator: From the promising action director of The Rock, and Bad Boys (1995), comes his last fun movie before transforming into the Michael Bay we all know, and hate.
- "Gear up for the best film about drilling into an asteroid and nuking it since the one that came out two months earlier."
- The narrator considers this "the movie equivalent of Taco Bell":Narrator: Looks okay from the surface, but for the love of God, don't think too hard about what's inside.
- "Prepare for an all-out assault on your senses, where everyone is always yelling, the clock is always ticking, and everything that can go boom, will go boom. Including the title of the movie."
- Among the numerous amount of logical fallacies the Narrator brings up in relation to the plot of the movie, he brings up the fact that Michael Bay is seen working at NASA.
- At two separate times, we are treated to comments from Ben Affleck taken straight from the movie's DVD Commentary. And from them, one gets the idea that even Affleck was aware of the blatant plot holes:
- After mentioning that it's supposedly easier to train oil drillers how to be astronauts instead of teaching astronauts how to drill:Ben Affleck: (with the caption "ACTUAL COMMENTARY FROM BEN AFFLECK ON THE DVD") I asked Michael why it was easier to train oil drillers to become astronauts than it was to teach astronauts to become oil drillers, and he told me to shut the f*ck up. So, t-that was the end of that talk...
- And then there's The Stinger, presented without commentary from the Narrator:Harry: I'm sure they'll make good astronauts... But they don't know jack about drilling.Ben Affleck: I mean, this is a little bit of a logic stretch, let's face it. "They don't know jack about drilling"? How hard can it be? Aim the drill at the ground, and turn it on.
- After mentioning that it's supposedly easier to train oil drillers how to be astronauts instead of teaching astronauts how to drill:
- In summarizing the romantic subplot between A.J. Frost, Grace Stamper, and her dad Harry S. Stamper, the Narrator goes all in on the drilling metaphors:Narrator: If A.J. wants to prove himself worthy of Harry's daughter, he's going to have to drill a deep, hard hole, right in the crack of a big, dark rock, before Harry will admit he's good enough at drilling to drill his daughter.
- This then gets parlayed into covering the most infamous scene of the movie: the Animal Crackers scene.Narrator: And if that wasn't enough of a creepy father-daughter relationship for you, watch as A.J. seduces Liv Tyler, while her real father sings for them in the background.Steven Tyler: (as A.J. plays with Animal Crackers) Don't wanna close my eyes!Grace: Do you think it's possible that anyone else in the world is doing this very same thing at this very same moment?Narrator: No. I can you promise you. They are not.
- This then gets parlayed into covering the most infamous scene of the movie: the Animal Crackers scene.
- Right out of the gate, the narrator clarifies his stance on Michael Bay:
Entourage
- * Entourage (aka the real douchebags of broverly hills)
- At one point, it references the never ending stream of different kinds of cameos:Narrator: Cameos from famous people, people not famous enough to play themselves, people who were never famous [cue to one of the characters greeting David Faustino] and people who retroactively became more famous than any of the main cast members.
Ari: You know The Station Agent?
E: Yeah?
Ari: It's about the midget who lives by the train tracks. Last time I saw him he was in a FedEx commercial overnighting him to London.
E: His name is Peter Dinklage, Ari.
[cue image of Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister looking sternly]
Narrator: ...Awkward.

- The announcer describing Sid as "a creepily-rendered young boy which 90s computers clearly weren't ready for."
- The characters being described as "Vin Diesel" (Mr. Potato Head), "Inconceivable Rex" (Rex), "choking hazards" (Army Men), "Green Minions" (Alien Toys), "Sid Vicious" (Sid), "A Bo Peep lamp?

[shows the T-800 ripping the living tissue cover from its robot arm, leaving it bloody]
Narrator: [in his epic voice] Except this one's f*cking intense. [shows the scene of the incinerated skeleton getting obliterated while still clinging to the playground fence] - The narrator showing that real life events could've made the movie even more scary:Narrator: [while showing the guard at the mental hospital licking Sarah Connor's face, and the T-1000 skewering people with its morphing sword-like arm] [The movie was] full of things we probably weren't ready to see, and would have been even more disturbing if it starred the studio's first choice: O. J. Simpson. [shivers]
- The narrator demonstrates that some things just never change:Narrator: Watch these killers spend the first third of the film in a cat-and-mouse game that will have you guessing which one is the good guy... if the trailers hadn't given it away.
[shows scenes from the original trailer]
Original Trailer's Narrator: ... Once, he was programmed to destroy the future, now his mission is to protect it...
Narrator: A lesson we still haven't learned apparently!
[shows scenes from the trailer for Terminator Genisys that revealed that John Connor was turned into a Terminator] - "Thrill as they track down the Connor family: Sarah, the Che Guevara of soccer moms, with some big guns [shows her carrying a BFG]... and some big guns [shows her toned biceps], and John, her... [incredulous] nine-year-old son? Played by Edward Furlong, who would go on to star in numerous court appereances." Furlong is later credited in the "Starring" list as "So Much Promise".
- The narrator setting the tone of the film:
Magic Mike
- Magic Mike (aka 21 Hump Street):
- Epic Voice Guy switching his voice tone from a carefree one to a dramatic, serious one and vice versa while describing the plot of the film to convey the film's constant Mood Whiplash.

[switches to serious voice] Who struggles to overcome social stigmas about his job, and can't seem to raise enough money to start his dream business, no matter how hard he tries. [switches to carefree voice] But that's okay, 'cause he's running onstage next to The Kid, a fresh-faced teen with a rawcking body! [switches to serious voice] And a drug problem, that sends him into a downward spiral, alienating his best friend, his sister, and landing him in serious trouble with a violent drug cartel.

- The trailer pointing out Channing Tatum ditching the sexy Olivia Munn for a sour puss with an Annoying Laugh. (Cue montage of actress Cody Horn's Annoying Laugh throughout the film.)
- "So get ready, for what's either a really dumb version of Boogie Nights, or a really smart version of Showgirls, that was way less fun that advertised!"
- Epic Voice Guy's tendency for Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today? gets cranked up hard at the end of the trailer, almost to the point of Suspiciously Specific Denial.Narrator: [disappointed] Aw, come on! There's no big stripping finale?! I was waiting for one big hot dance-off at the end! It'd make perfect sense with the story, right? I mean... [nervous] I mean, I'm not gay... I just admire the technique, yunno... The athleticism, yunno? Human form and stuff, it's... It's art and stuff... I mean, not that there's anything wrong with being gay. One of my uncles is gay, it's cool... Um... Love wins...
- Epic Voice Guy switching his voice tone from a carefree one to a dramatic, serious one and vice versa while describing the plot of the film to convey the film's constant Mood Whiplash. It has to be heard to be believed.
Iron Man
- Iron Man (aka Marvel Man):
- The narrator asserts that the film's sucess proved "that Marvel can build a franchise around just about anybody. Except the Hulk."
- The narrator describing Marvel's "formula for printing money":Narrator: Take a half-forgotten, B-list superhero, cast an unknown or half-forgotten B-list actor, have him fight a generic villain that will only last one movie, fall in love with a generically strong female character, make a ton of quips, talk a bunch of science, destroy some public property, cram Stan Lee in there somewhere, shoot a blue beam into the sky, set up an Avengers movie, and force the audience to sit through 500 visual effects guys' names just to catch a few extra seconds. Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
- The narrator lampshading Tony Stark's similarity with his actor, Robert Downey Jr.:Narrator: Meet Tony Stark, a hard-partying, Robert Downey Jr.-ish weapons designer, who's the perfect match between actor and role, that allowed him to spend the next seven years making a fortune by pretending to look at a screen [shows one of his inside-the-helmet shots], pretending to play with some holograms [showing him with his gesture-based interface computers], doing a little voice-over, and basically act like himself until someone says cut. Nice work if you can get it.
- After a slight Take That! to Thor ("A hero whose power is intelligence, not some magical hammer"), the Narrator starts recounting Tony's tendency to create his own villains:Narrator: Like this weapon, that's used against him [shows the Stark Industries rocket-propelled grenade that wounded Tony in Afghanistan]; these weapons, that are used against him [shows the Stark Industries weapons stockpiled by the Ten Rings]; this weapon, that's used against him [shows the sonic device that Obadiah Stane used to paralyze Tony and take his Arc Reactor]; this weapon, that's used against him [shows the Iron Monger armor, that was reverse-engineered from studying Tony's Mark I armor], this miracle technology... [shows Tony and Ho Yinsen with the Arc Reactor] ...that becomes a weapon, that's used against him [shows Ivan Vanko creating his own Arc Reactor for his Whiplash armor], and of course, Ultron [shows Ultron and its army of sentries]. Seriously, Tony? Just do the world a favor and stop working.

Super Mario Bros.
- Super Mario Bros. (1993) (aka Super Mari-Oh Brother):
- "Before people caught on that video game movies were a terrible idea, experience the film that proved that video game movies... are a terrible idea."
- The narrator doesn't get around with showing the film's In Name Only-ness:Narrator: Based on the Super Mario Bros. video game... kinda... [shows how Koopa is now humanoid] Okay, not really at all...
[later]
Narrator: Not since World War Z did a movie had less to do with the source material, where King Koopa is a hypochondriac, for some reason... [goes on for a while, before culminating with...] ...and Mario refuses to jump? [after showing Mario saying that he's gonna get crushed, and Luigi trying to convince him to jump] You ain't gonna jump?! You're Mario, dude! That's the only thing you do! - The narrator thinks that Bob Hoskins reprised his role as Eddie from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Cue a montage of scenes from both Super Mario Bros. and Who Framed Roger Rabbit showing him taking the wheel of a car while growling "I'll drive!", screaming when he's about to crash, and him yelling at someone in both movies.
- The narrator describing the plot... well, trying to:Narrator: [Mario and Luigi] will have to save the world from... um, something about another dimension... and a meteor... and this... thingy [shows Daisy's father] and then this happens [shows Koopa and Mario disintegrating as the dimensions merge]. Man, the video game was already surreal enough, how much acid did these filmmakers take?
[shows the In Name Only Goombas dancing with each other]
Narrator: Okay, all of it. All of the acid. - The video twice cuts to interviews with the actors as a "Not Making This Up" Disclaimer. The first when the narrator notices that Dinohattan has strippers, it cuts to a part of the video message John Leguizamo recorded for the 20th anniversary screening of the film, in which he says that indeed, the filmmakers brought "a whole bunch of strippers"; and the second when the narrator says that the film almost killed Bob Hoskins, it then cuts to an interview with Hoskins:Bob Hoskins: I was stabbed four times, electrocuted, broke a finger, nearly got drowned, and that's just what happened to me.
Narrator: Still less painful than watching the actual movie. - "Starring: John Luiguizamo, Donald Trump (Koopa), Yosh*t, The Creepy Parking Garage Guy From Ferris Bueller (Spike), That Guy From All Those Movies (Sgt. Simon), Donkey Kong (Anthony Scapelli as a monkey), and Captain Lou Albano (Mario).

Mission: Impossible
- Mission: Impossible (aka Franchise: Unkillable):
- "In a time when Hollywood was rebooting all of your dad's favorite TV shows as movies, get ready for the only one that actually worked."

[shows the nuclear missile from the fourth film] Do we all just... die?
- The narrator references the "revolving door of directors [who] bring their Signature Style to each installment (as long as Tom Cruise approves)":Narrator: Featuring the psycho drama of Brian De Palma, the shaky cam of J. J. Abrams, the cartoon sensibilities of Brad Bird, and the diving sideways with two pistols at the same time in the middle of a flock of birds in slow motion of John Woo. Come on man, never go full Woo.
- The narrator tackles Tom Cruise's memetic Big Heroic Run:Narrator: Tom Cruise is gonna run, [shows his running in the first film] is gonna hang, [shows the climbing scene from the second film, the "Mission: Impossible" Cable Drop of the first three films, and the climbing of the Burj Khalifa in the fourth film] and then he's gonna run, some more. [shows a montage of scenes from the films of him running] Like, a lot more. [shows the famously long run from the third film] Wow, that's a long shot of running... [running continues] ...Aaand cut. Man, he didn't skip leg day.
- After the narrator points out the franchise's rather strange Recurring Elements of each film dealing with a rogue IMF agent and an arms dealer:Narrator: ...One thing is for sure: Everyone is wearing a Scooby-Doo mask. [cue montague of several characters across the films pulling over their Latex Perfection masks set to Scooby-Doo-like music, complete with the narrator doing "Ruh-uh!" sounds, culminating with...] And I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for that meddling Tom Cruise!
- The "starring" segment is occupied mostly by cloak and dagger tropes (and other things like "Fancy Baaaaalls"), but it ends with Limp Bizkit, whose song "Take a Look Around"'s riff is derived from the original Mission: Impossible theme, and was used in Mission: Impossible II, much to the narrator's chagrin.Narrator: Ugh, I forgot about that.

- When the narrator explains the films' use of Space Clouds, he ends up losing his cool after Galactus is turned into one in the second film:Narrator: [A] space cloud gives four people completely different superpowers, leading to one movie about recreating the space cloud on Earth, and one movie about trying to save the world from a completely different space cloud.

But he's got brown hair instead of blond hair, so he's totally not Eminem."Narrator: You've seen pop stars make terrible Vanity Projects [shows scenes from From Justin to Kelly and The Last Song], like Glitter, Crossroads, and Cool as Ice [shows Cool as Ice's "Drop that zero and get with the hero" scene]. Now watch Eminem of all people give a respectful, understated job, in the story of a man struggling against a world that judges him based on the color of his skin.
Jimmy "B-Rabbit" Smith, Jr. (Eminem): [in a rap battle] You don't know what the f*ck I've been to!

[shows that the Honest Trailer for Frozen has over 25,500,000 views]- The narrator's reaction to the cost of the Blu-ray collection containing the short.Narrator: [The short is] now available on Blu-ray— for twenty bucks?!

- The narrator and Arnold Schwarzenegger cringing at the forced use of Catch Phrases.Narrator: Full of not-so-subtle call backs to the original movie, and catchphrases so forced they would make Schwarzenegger blush.
Elsa: I don't get cold. Besides... ♫ the cold never bothered me anyway... ♫
Narrator: [while showing Schwarzenegger as the T-800 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day cringe] UGH! - The "starring" segment being occupied by reasons Disney needs to keep Frozen relevant, starting with a Broadway show and its presence in the Disney Theme Parks, and escalating to increasingly bizarre merchandise for the movie, culminating in a snow cone machine shaped like Olaf, which the narrator claims is just you eating Olaf's intestines while he watches (due to its design).
- The Stinger:Narrator: Do you remember when Disney actually tried to hide the innuendoes in their films? 'Cause those things [the snowgies] look like chubby little d— BE SURE TO SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE HONEST TRAILERS

Nooooooooooooo. - The narrator doing a pretty good rundown on Shyamalan's career...Narrator: You loved The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, you liked... parts of Signs, The Village and Lady in the Water made you say, "oh," but before the violent car crash that was The Last Airbender, there was The Happening...

- The description of the film's antagonistic force:Narrator: [The protagonists will] run from the least scary monster in film history: Gently. Rustling. Leaves. [cut to a montage of the trees seen in the film, that goes for about 15 seconds] Wow, they actually found trees more boring than the Ents.
- The narrator calling the movie "the first movie since Groundhog Day to make suicide look kinda hilarious."
- The narrator asks a character in the film his opinion on hot dogs. Makes Just as Much Sense in Context in the film.Narrator: Hey, what's your take on hot dogs, random person?
Nursery Owner: You know hot dogs get a bad rap? They got a cool shape, they got protein. [to Alma] You like hot dogs right?
Narrator: Good to know. - And when it comes to the trademark Shyamalan twist:Narrator: As you wait for the inevitable Shyamalan twist... that never comes. The twist is: there is no twist. The trees did it. Then it ends. Ugh.
- The "Starring" list consists simply of the trees and other plants that appear in the film, including the famous plastic tree, a tree that the narrator wasn't sure of what kind was until a character points out it's a maple tree, and "A Mannequin" (Alma/Zooey Deschanel).Narrator: [as Alma stares blankly] Uh, hello?

Furious 7
- Furious 7 (aka Car Wars: Episode VII):
- The trailer begins by pointing out the franchise's odd naming conventions:Narrator: You've seen it with the "The's", you've seen it without the "The's", you've seen it with just the "Fast", and with "2's" where the "The's" should be.

- The narrator puts into question the whole "One Last Job" theme:Narrator: After six Fast and Furiouses, you thought they were done, because they more or less keep saying that they're done.

- The narrator referencing the series' unrelenting Sequel Escalation:Narrator: But after that ride, they've got to be done riding, right? I mean, where they're gonna go next? Space?
Roman Pearce: First a tank, then a plane, now we got a spaceship?!
Narrator: I would totally watch that. - The narrator's way of describing the evolution of the series:Narrator: What began as Point Break with cars has been spun-off, [shows The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift] rebooted, [shows Fast & Furious] turned into a heist film, [shows Fast Five] and jacked up on steroids [shows Luke Hobbs] [...] in a franchse that has completely ditched its street racing roots, but still remains as commited as ever to booty. [cut to montage of the films' Fanservice Extras]
- The narrator thinks that, after the "awesome car skydiving sequence" and the "incredible skyscraper jump scene", "their budget ran out before the finale", which is why it is "a generic car chase while two gorillas [Dom and Deckard Shaw] hit each other with sticks in a parking lot."
- The narrator's description of Dominic Toretto:Narrator: So hit the streets once again with Dominic Toretto, master of the over-the-shoulder dramatic turn around, who's so Italian, he wore a tank top to his own wedding. He's the man with the plan, even if the plan is incredibly stupid; like driving headfirst into a car, driving headfirst off a cliff, driving headfirst into a car, again, or driving headfirst off a parking garage. You'll begin to wonder if it was repeated head trauma that gave him his trademark mumble growl.

- The trailer actually having three Stingers:Narrator: We couldn't decide which ending we liked better for this trailer, so here are all three:

- Ending #2:Narrator: It's really nice how racially diverse this movie is without calling a bunch of attention to itself.
Dominic Toretto: Race wars. We invented it.
Narrator: Oh, nevermind. - Ending #3:Deckard Shaw: See you and me? We're from different worlds.
Narrator: Hey, you stole that from Hootie & the Blowfish!

[shows Peter and the Indians making a stereotypical war cry]
Narrator: Wow, that is really bad.

[shows Jim Crow from Dumbo]
Narrator: Oh that was so much worse...
[shows Shun Gon from The Aristocats]
Narrator: This is all so much worse than I remember! Go to starring, go to starring! - The Indian Chief is credited in the "Starring" list as "The Washington R... DC Football Team."
- In The Stinger:Narrator: So his name was "Hook" before Peter cut off his hand? And I thought "Scar" was a convenient villain name.

- The narrator references how the film had a lot of hype to live up to... and didn't.Narrator: After the mind-blowing sucess of The Avengers, the game-changing thrills of The Winter Soldier, and the unexpected surprise of Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), you thought there was no way the next Avengers could live up to the hype. YOU. WERE. RIGHT.

Oh man, we're gonna catch hell from this anyway. - The narrator bringing up how the Avengers stayed out of each other's problems in between Avengers films:Narrator: When the Mandarin seemingly killed Iron Man and took the President hostage, the Avengers didn't assemble. When Malekith almost destroyed the universe, the Avengers didn't assemble. And when a terrorist organization infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. and came just seconds away from killing millions, the Avengers still didn't assemble. But when a remote HYDRA base might be hiding something, every single Avenger is assembling all up this business!
- The narrator seems to not be amused by Quicksilver, is a bit confused about Scarlet Witch, and is really confused about The Vision.Narrator: One [Quicksilver] is a lame Russian knockoff of the X-Man that Fox did way better, one [Scarlet Witch] has... hand-wavy mind control powers? And can also stop trains? And the other [The Vision] is a beam-shooting, 3D-printed vibranium robot, plus J.A.R.V.I.S., plus the Mind Stone, who can fly, and... makes capes? What? Can one of you guys explain Vision to me? I have no idea of who or what he is.
- The narrator takes a moment to remember great MCU villains. He realizes that he only considers one to fit the bill.Narrator: You've seen great Marvel movie villains, like Loki, and... [shows Obadiah Stane] No. [shows Alexander Pierce] No. [shows Aldrich Killian] No. [shows Ivan Vanko] Definitely not. [shows Ronan the Accuser] Not even close. Huh, guess still it's just Loki!

- "Watch [Jasmine] slum it up with Aladdin, a hunky thief with no home, no parents, and no nipples!"

No need to whine anymore

Aladdin: You are so much hotter than Abu! - And "the Robin Williams song" ("Friend Like Me"):Can Josh Gad do this?
Can Jack Black do that?
Can Jim Carrey pull this off
Without his mask?
Mr. Hugh Jackman, sir
This ain't the Tonys
The torch can pass

[...] Now, desperate for profits, Jurassic World is here [...] to exploit a new generation by selling them the same basic premise they already sold to their parents, to the point where they literally break out a pair of nostalgia googles.

Dr. Evil: I have one simple request, and that is to have sharks with Frickin' Laser Beams attached to their heads! - In response of the complaints about Claire running in high heels, the narrator goes on to give a Long List of questions about what he considers Plot Holes (or just things implied to be unnecessary to the film, like the subplot of Claire's sister's family), except for the second-to-last one, which is "Wait, did that raptor jump on that T. rex's back to get leverage?

- "From the once-masterful director who just couldn't leave well enough alone, comes the special effects blockbuster that transformed the entire film industry... into an assembly line for special effects blockbusters and action figures."Narrator: Star Wars. The first one. We are not calling it A New Hope.
- The narrator saying that Princess Leia is "the most interesting of the two human female characters in the entire movie."
- The narrator points out that the droids are "conscious beings with feelings and free will, who were bought and sold as slaves." But that's not the funny part, of course, but rather his reaction to it:Narrator: #DroidsLivesMatter guys!
- The narrator calls Luke Skywalker "a whiny space brat." Then he realizes something:Narrator: Hmmm, kinda reminds me of someone... [cue montage of Luke Skywalker's angsty scenes interspersed with Anakin Skywalker's own angsty scenes] Wait, so Hayden Christensen's acting choices were... intentional?! WHOA! Mind. Blown!
- The narrator is not exactly impressed with the Empire:Narrator: ...the evil Empire, with an army of clumsy idiots, [shows the often repeated scene of the Stormtrooper hitting his head on the door frame] led by the most threatening villain of all time, Darth Vader... until you hear his original voice. [shows Darth Vader speaking with the voice of his physical actor, David Prowse] Ha, not so epic now, are you bro?
- The narrator doesn't let the "Special Editions" pass:Narrator: Return to a time when technology forced George Lucas to collaborate with other people, as he teams up with masters of sound design, score, editing and practical visual effects to deliver a near perfect movie, that he's made progressively worse with each special edition, because if there's one thing the original Star Wars wasn't missing, [getting progressively angrier] is poorly-rended, out-of-place CGI animals filling up every square inch of the frame! Dude! Come on! Get out of the way! Argh, I can't even see the movie.
- The narrator also points out scenes that "nostalgic googles" keep one from realizing "were kind of dumb," like the lightsaber battle between Obi-Wan and Darth Vader being "two old geezers gently poking each other," and the destruction of the Death Star being "the most over-the-top Freudian finale of all time." Cue a hefty montage of all the lines of dialogue during that scene that could count as Accidental Innuendo:"Luke is the best bush pilot in the Outer Rim Territories."
"Look at the size of that thing!"
"They came from behind."
"...should be able to penetrate the outer defense."
"Almost there... Almost there...!"
"Didn't go in."
"You're all clear, kid! Now let's blow this thing and go home!"
"Luke, at that speed, will y'be able to pull out in time?"
Michael Scott: That's What She Said! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! - The narrator wants to make one thing clear:Narrator: So whether you're an old man who can't move on from a 38-year old movie for children, or a contrarian kid who thinks he's being edgy when he says the prequels were better, one thing is for sure: Han. Shot. First.
- In The Stinger:Narrator: As bad as we all want a real lightsaber, let's be realistic: We could've cut off our own hand in a week.

- Fantastic Four (2015) (aka Fant-Four-Stic, or Fantastic Four: Strike Three):
- At the very beginning, the reference to a certain tweet:Narrator: From the director of Chronicle, and a fantastic version of this movie that you'll probably never see...
[shows a screencap from a tweet made by the film's director Josh Trank (since deleted) that read:]
Josh Trank: A year ago I had a fantastic version of this. And it would've received great reviews. You'll probably never see it. That's reality though.◊ - "It's been ten years since the last good Fantastic Four movie." Footage playing over this part is of The Incredibles.
- The description of the cast:Narrator: There's Reed, the genius who can bend his body to new and exciting ethnicities; Ben, a big-hearted rock monster whose superpower is not having genitals?; this underused actress in a terrible wig, who's left behind to make the guys' uniforms; and Johnny, a street-racing brat cliché with the power to ignite... internet comment sections for being a black guy.
- The narrator not being impressed with the inner workings of the Baxter Institute...Narrator: Journey to the Baxter Institute, where kids create billion-dollar inventions, powerful enough to destroy the world, in exchange for pats on the back.
Harvey Allen: You all deserve an enormous pat on the back. - ...or Doctor Doom, for that matter.Narrator: Tremble in anticipation for the return of one of Marvel's greatest supervillains, Doctor Doom. Then shake your head in disappointment when you're stuck with this super-powered sex doll instead, complete with vague abilities, vague motivations, and vague... Ghostbusters references?
[cut to a clip of Ghostbusters showing Dana possessed by Zuul]
Zuul!Dana: There is no Dana, only Zuul.

- In The Stinger, the narrator realizes that the movie missed something:
- At the very beginning, the reference to a certain tweet:
Minions
- Minions (aka Despicable Greed):
- The narrator lets it clear from the very beginning about what's the real reason behind the movie:Narrator: From Universal Pictures... marketing department, comes one of the most expensive, far-reaching promotional campaigns of all time. And also a movie!
- The narrator comparing the movie with Joey, The Cleveland Show, and The Battle for Endor in that it's "a Spin-Off that takes a character who's fun in small doses, and makes you wish that they stayed in the background."
- The narrator saying that, for an Origins Episode about the Minions, it doesn't tell a lot about their origins:Narrator: Get ready for a Minion origin story... that doesn't even tell you what a Minion is, or where their language comes from, [shows the Minions saying "Que pasa?", "Sayonara!", and "Mazel Tov!"] or whether they're immortal, or whether they have genders, [shows the Minions doing a Totem Pole Trench in drag] or why some have just one eye, or why always they wear goggles, or how do they reproduce. [shows a Minion getting romantic with two yellow fire hydrants] But who cares? You're either a six-year-old or a parent wishing to check your phone in the movie theater.
- The narrator saying that the movie is so full of "lazy gags" that it makes Cars 2 look like the beginning of Up.
- The narrator warning the audience about the movie's bad morals...Narrator: Try to undo the harmful messages the movie would drill into your kid's impressionable head, like: Be a mindless follower, don't question authority, and shooting at the cops is okay as long as you're little and cute.
- ...then, weighing in that last point, realizes that it also has Family-Unfriendly Violence. ("You know, for kid's characters they do really kill a lot of people.") Cue the Failure Montage showing the Minions trying to serve their various masters and failing miserably on every occasion with a death count; it first shoots up from 5 to 105 after the Egyptians are crushed when a pyramid falls over, and then to "???" after a giant Kevin pushes a Scarlet Overkill wearing a skirt-transformed-into-a-giant-rocket onto several buildings.
- The "Starring" list ending with "those horrible Facebook memes your aunt keeps posting that don't even have anything to do with Minions at all."
- In The Stinger, the narrator points out that if the Minions hadn't been driven to live in the ice cave after accidentally killing Napoléon Bonaparte, they might've served as Adolf Hitler's henchmen. Complete with a photoshopped image of the Minions taking a selfie with the Führer.
- The narrator lets it clear from the very beginning about what's the real reason behind the movie:
Ant-Man

- The Honest Trailers title card being "ant-sized" like the first teaser trailer for the film.
- The narrator says the movie is "based on a superhero so ridiculous, you'll swear that Marvel's choosing their projects on a dare."Narrator: Now get ready for a hero so silly, no one can even keep a straight face when they say his dumb name; [shows The Falcon and Darren Cross not being able to keep a straight face when saying "Ant-Man", and Scott Lang aking if they can change the name] in a superpowered heist film that against all odds... actually, kind of works! I mean, it's still more believable that somebody joining The Avengers just because they're good with a bow and an arrow, right?
- When the narrator does his usual "Meet [X]" routine with Scott Lang, the trailer shows instead a scene from Behind the Candelabra, another film in which a character played by Michael Douglas has a relationship with a character named Scott, just a very different one.Narrator: [shows Matt Damon as Scott Thorson] Wait, no, not that one. [shows Scott Lang] Yeah, that's the guy.
- As the alternative title he gave for the film implies, the narrator believes that Hank Pym and the overall plot of the film look familiar:Narrator: Hank Pym [is a] billionaire industrialist who lost control of his company to a bald former ally, who betrays him, and plots to use his advanced suit technology for evil. And if that sounds familiar, it's because it's the exact same premise as the first Iron Man movie.
Scott Lang: If it ain't broke...
Narrator: I mean, seriously, it even has that "friend staring at the suit they wear in the sequel" moment.
James Rhodes/War Machine: Next time, baby.
Hope van Dyne/The Wasp: It's about damn time. - The "few unique twists" that made the film "separate itself from the other 11 MCU films":Narrator: Making another schlubby comedian get abs for a superhero role, actually getting you to care about disgusting insect monsters (NOOO!!! Not Antony! Aw man! I liked that one because he had a name.), and saying the one thing everyone's been yelling at the screen since Phase 2 started:
Scott Lang: I think our first move, should be calling the Avengers. - The narrator says that film made Marvel "prove once again that they can literally sell you anything, and they don't even have to try that hard to sell it." Cue the Dada-esque "ANTS" TV spot.Narrator: ... Huh?

As Himself,note Antz (ants), The Biggest Avenger They Could Get (Falcon), Thomas and the Mant-gic Railroad (the giant toy Thomas), and Disposable Marvel Villain #9 (Yellowjacket).
