** Joe Russo, the co-director of ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' claims that the movie was FridgeLogic-tested by [[http://www.screenjunkies.com/movies/movie-news/honest-trailers-cited-as-reason-that-captain-america-the-winter-soldier-was-so-good/ making sure that there would be little reason for an Honest Trailer to be made of the movie]]. Didn't stop Honest Trailers, in the end, though they do spend a good amount of time in the trailer praising the movie.

** Scott Cawthon, the creator of the ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' games, actually enjoys the Honest Trailers of his games (even though the Trailers of the sequels are largely negative).
** Jordan Vogt-Roberts, director of ''Film/KongSkullIsland'' went a step further and actually ''helped write'' the episode lampooning his movie, being very honest and forthcoming about it's flaws (although he frantically objects to the notion that "there are too many helicopters").

Misuse. About creator regretting their work. If they're fine with disliking this one than not an example.


* CreatorBacklash: Not quite backlash but more disagreement. When the trailer came out for the universally panned ''Film/TransformersTheLastKnight'', Jon Bailey affirmed in the comments that he still loved the ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' franchise warts and all despite reading a script that slammed the franchise repeatedly (albeit more directed at the Michael Bay films).

** Screen Junkies was hoping to have Music/SmashMouth sing for the ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'' Honest Trailer but the band didn't want to do it, possibly because they got tired of being associated with the movie.

* {{Corpsing}}: In the Honest Trailer for ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' the joke credit for Creator/AlfredMolina is a play on "If I Were A Rich Man" from ''Theatre/FiddlerOnTheRoof'' (which Molina starred in after ''Film/SpiderMan2''). Jon Bailey can be heard laughing to himself as he finishes the line just before it cuts to the next credit.

** In the Honest Trailer for ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'', the alternate universe narrator Australian Voice Guy was going to be SilentMovie Guy, who would only talk through captions, but the writers felt that it would be too much text to read with Epic Telenovela Woman's subtitles.
