Honest Trailers

In celebration of 100 episodes of Honest Trailers: Fifty Shades of Grey.

"Meet Bella Swan- I mean... fuck it, meet Bella Swan."

They do have medals for almost, and they're called silver!

That "rabies" background song was pretty hilarious.

I liked this one of theirs last week too.

Now I'm waiting for their Avengers 2 video. As well as Furious 7.

No Furious 7 or the Avengers 2 or Jurassic World, but at least we still got Mad Max: Fury Road.

And yes, Fury Road does make other summer blockbusters look mediocre.

Furious 7. Pretty funny. I love the awkward tone shift.

Is it weird that I don't like the honest game trailers as much as the regular honest trailers?

They always seemed to..... smosh-y for me.

what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone else

Aren't they written by different people anyway?

Yes.

I like both.

I like them both too, but it's odd that they haven't made an Honest Game Trailer for Halo yet. Maybe they're waiting for Halo 5's release first, but the Master Chief Collection would've been as fitting an excuse.

I loved the Furious 7 one.

The only beef I have is calling the last battle in the movie as a generic car race with a pair of gorillas fighting each other.

Dude, it's basically a warfare with an attack helicopter, military drone, ultra hacking system, and Vin Diesel. I'm pretty sure budget was saved for that scene and the plane scene.

Oh, and I agree that "Wild Speed: Sky Mission" does sound so much better.

I'm not gonna lie, I loved his meltdown as he realizes the racism across old Disney films.

Geez, that movie is more fucked up then I remember it being.

I think a lot of the racism flew over my head as a kid because I didn't even know about the stereotypes. The Siamese cats were just kinda creepy cats, the crows in Dumbo were crows, etc. But the Indian ones were a little more damaging because there was an onscreen connection made with real people. So maybe that's why we often don't remember these cases, because we hadn't heard of such stereotypes made about peoples.

I definitely made a link to the Siamese cats.

I actually still can't tell: what stereotypes do they represent?

Asians (Especially chinese)? the two cats in Lady of the Tramp are basically feline version of the Dragon Lady trope. The second cat (From I think the Aristocats) actually has chopsticks and a straw hat.

And the crows are minstrel parodies (hence the name "Jim Crow"), the Neverland Indians are self-explanatory, and the other clip was from Song Of The South.

Oh, I knew others, just not the Siamese.

Probably the worst is that the Siamese cats actually have Asian Buck Teeth.

In both films.

I'm an Asian myself and never noticed that until now.

Probably for the better now, haha.

A lot of cartoons had racism in them. Tom and Jerry and Loony Tunes had blackface, for Pete's sake.

Also, King Kong and a Doctor Who serial both used yellowface...and the Doctor Who serial with yellowface was in the 70s. Oh, and the First Doctor used the N word once. And the N word was in original editions of one of the Railway Series books by the Rev. W Audrey (AKA the books about Thomas the Tank Engine), specifically in a scene recreated in the Thomas TV series where Henry blew coal on a bunch of kids throwing rocks at his windows for laughs (later editions changed the word to soot).

If I had a nickel for every time you could find racism in a beloved fictional property, I'd be rich enough to buy the planet.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

And here comes the Age of Ultron trailer.

Yeah, it really shouldn't be called Age of Ultron.

So that's what Joss Whedon looks like.

There's a lot of pictures of him out there. Or did you mean Andy Serkis?

I feel bad for him if he (probably) sees this trailer. He's probably heard all this and more for months now.
