A Trailer for Every Academy Award Winning Movie Ever

  • Awesome Music: Befitting of a sendoff of Oscar Bait tropes, it uses inspirational music, specifically "Bruce and Linda" from Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. Lampshaded: "... and then the music gets ... hopeful ..."
  • Cliché Storm: It's a pastiche of all the cliches you seem to find in Oscar Bait movies these days.
  • Glurge: As a parody of films that often try to be a giant Heartwarming Moment/Tear Jerker, the propensity for these movies to be glurge is parodied as well. "Inspirationally Disadvantaged Guy" being the name of a character is just the tip of the iceberg.
  • Ho Yay:
    • Wealthy, Successful Protagonist and Inspirationally Disadvantaged Guy when the former watches the latter undressing and later when they embrace each other.
    • Lead Female's "accusations concerning your sexuality!" are a little hypocritical considering her later clinch with Social Worker, who is also female.
  • Play-Along Meme: The comment section for the Youtube upload is mostly people mimicking the video's [Trope Name] dialogue to parody common statements used in reply sections.
    Commenter: Comment stating that the book was better.
    Commenter: Angry reply attacking the previous user's politics.
