* NoPronunciationGuide: Sometimes the title of a film will deliberately be said incorrectly.
** ''Les Miserables'' causes particular trouble ("Les Miserabablebles", and later "Less Miserables").

** Non-title example in ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'', where the narrator struggles mightily with Svartalfheim before moving on to the next world's name with apparent relief ("Sfar... Sfur... Sfortul... ASGARD!").
** The narrator makes numerous attempts to pronounce ''Film/{{Maleficent}}'', before deciding to screw it and just call the movie ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'' instead.

** While listing the cast members of ''Film/Moonlight2016'' during the ''Film/LaLaLand'' Honest Trailer, the narrator is surprised that he can pronounce Creator/MahershalaAli's name right.
** In the entry for ''Film/TheFavourite'' in the 2019 Oscars Honest Trailer, the narrator gives up on trying to pronounce the name of its director, Creator/YorgosLanthimos, and instead just refers to him as the director of ''Film/TheLobster''.

** The Honest Trailer for ''Film/TheSantaClause'' describes the director, John Pasquin, as "the man behind all things Creator/TimAllen", referring to him having directed a lot of other projects starring Allen, like ''Film/JungleToJungle'' and episodes of ''Series/HomeImprovement''.

* RougeAnglesOfSatin: Literally. They made a crack about this at the beginning of the trailer for ''Film/RogueOne'', which opened with a bunch of people in the comments asking for "Rouge One".
-->'''Narrator:''' Guys, you've seriously gotta learn how to spell "rogue".

* ProductionPosse: [[invoked]] {{Subverted|Trope}} in the ''Film/{{Pixels}}'' Honest Trailer, when the narrator expects the movie to star Creator/AdamSandler's usual guys, but is surprised to see that his co-stars were Creator/JoshGad and Creator/PeterDinklage:
-->'''Narrator:''' Not cool, man! Suck all you want, but don't drag [[Series/GameOfThrones Tyrion]] down with you!

* NamesTheSame: [[invoked]]

--->'''Narrator:''' Become a [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Guardian of the Galaxy]]. [[TakeThat No, not the fun ones with personality]]; these guys.\\
''[shows some playable characters from the game]''
** In the Oscars 2018 Honest Trailer, the narrator mentions Daniel Day-Lewis's past role as Hawkeye in ''Film/TheLastOfTheMohicans'', and the visual is a clip of Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}''.

* PlayingGertrude: [[invoked]]
** The Honest Trailer for ''Film/TheMummy2017'' takes a dig at the movie for describing Creator/TomCruise's character as "a younger man" even though Cruise was in his mid-50s when the movie was made.
** The Honest Trailer for ''Film/DarkPhoenix'' points out that the movies' habit of [[TimeSkip skipping ahead a decade or two between entries]] has resulted in characters that would be in their 50s being played by much younger actors.

** The Honest Trailer for ''Series/{{Entourage}}'' mentions how the show featured guest appearances by actors who were fairly unknown at the time, but went on to become more famous than any of the show's lead actors, such as Creator/KenJeong and ''Series/ModernFamily'''s Creator/SofiaVergara. The Honest Trailer also shows a scene where Ari and E talk about the lead actor in ''Film/TheStationAgent'', who, according to Ari, was relegated to making Fedex commercials - the lead actor in question being Creator/PeterDinklage:

** The ''Film/SupermanIVTheQuestForPeace'', ''Film/TopGun'', and ''Film/RockyIV'' trailers are filtered to make it look like they were ripped from an old video tape.

** Similar to the ''Cuphead'' example above, the entry for ''Film/{{Mank}}'' in the Honest Trailer for the 2021 [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAward Oscars]] is narrated in the same style as a news reel from the 30s or 40s.

* PoorMansPorn: ''[[Film/FiftyShadesOfGrey Fifty Shades Darker]]'' is described as "the steamiest story you can buy at a Target".

** The ''Grown Ups'' trailer features almost a minute and a half of the actors' self-indulgent, scripted laughs at the jokes in the movie. It gets old, FAST. Even the announcer gets angry.

** After pointing out the most inherently nonsensical moment in the film ''{{Film/Armageddon}}'' -- namely, that training astronauts to operate a drill is somehow harder than teaching a bunch of oil rig workers to be space pilots in only two weeks -- it cuts to an appropriately subtitled snippet of Ben Affleck's audio commentary for the DVD, where he admits he himself didn't understand the reasoning behind the idea.

--->'''Narrator:''' Okay, look, it's fine if you don't remember ''[[Film/TheMeteorMan Meteor Man]]'',[[note]]The first movie ever to star a black superhero[[/note]] but there were ''three'' of these!

* PainMistakenForSex: In ''WesternAnimation/XMen'', the narrator refers to Jean Grey's rather suggestive crying and groaning while struggling or being tormented at certain moments as "X-gasms" while the trailer runs a remarkably long montage of them.
