* NamesTheSame: [[invoked]] [[PlayedForLaughs Used for comedic effect]] in the honest trailer for ''Film/HomeAlone'': [[Creator/ChrisColumbus the film's director Chris Columbus]] is credited as "the [[UsefulNotes/ChristopherColumbus Chris Columbus]] that didn't kill any Indians".
** Also invoked for ''Series/GameOfThrones'', in which the narrator confuses Samwell Tarly for [[Film/LordOfTheRings Samwise Gamgee]] (another fat guy named Sam who supports the main character).
* NauseaFuel: Invoked in the honest trailer for ''{{Film/Gravity}}'', where the narrator watches the first-person shot of Ryan repeatedly spinning backwards early on in the film, and nearly barfs.
* NeverTrustATrailer: Based around subverting this marketing. Some specific examples when they've pointed out how inaccurate trailers are:
** The Honest Trailer for ''Film/MagicMike'', whose advertising focused on the parts [[MrFanservice where hunky actors play male strippers]] and left out the serious, emotional story, leading to an Honest Trailer with a ton of [[MoodWhiplash sudden and heavy shifts in mood]].
** The Honest Game Trailer for ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'', which mentions how the game's emotional cinematic trailer constrasted with the gory action of the actual game.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands:
** In ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', they criticize how Deadpool, "The merc with a mouth, gets his mouth removed, and trades his cool costume for eight minute abs, and magic eyeshadow. Oh, and he also gets a grab bag of random mutant powers that Deadpool never had."
--->'''Narrator:''' Are we ''sure'' Brett Ratner didn't direct this?
** In ''Superman IV'', "Stare in wide-eyed disbelief at these new, completely made-up powers like rebuilding the Great Wall of China with his eyes, lowering people with his mind, and [[BatmanCanBreatheInSpace helping this woman breathe in outer space]]."
* TheNicknamer: The TropeCodifier in any medium. UpToEleven when ''all 152 Pokemon'' from ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' are nicknamed -- ''including'' [=MissingNo.=]
* NominalHero / DesignatedHero: The protagonists of ''Fast Five'' "will stop at nothing to take down a sort-of-ruthless drug lord, by destroying poor neighborhoods, destroying rich neighborhoods, killing twenty-two cops with a giant metal safe, and ultimately leaving Rio in way worse shape than when they found it."
* NonIndicativeName: In the ''Film/{{Maleficent}}'' trailer, the narrator points out how the changes to the title character turned her name into this trope.
-->'''Narrator:''' Instead, watch as the character whose name literally means "evil" [[PokeThePoodle mildly punks people]], feels sorry, [[FreudianExcuse and is only mean because she was roofied and mutilated by her childhood love]].
* NonhumansLackAttributes: From the ''Film/DawnOfThePlanetOfTheApes'' trailer:
-->'''Narrator:''' So, how do I put this... where are all the monkey dicks?
* NoOSHACompliance: In the ''Harry Potter'' trailer, child endangerment is described as being no big deal. Cue montage of various characters receiving horrifying injuries from magic spells or other accidents.
-->'''Narrator:''' Seriously, how have they not shut this school down yet?
* NoPronunciationGuide: Sometimes the title of a film will deliberately be said incorrectly.
** ''Les Miserables'' causes particular trouble ("Les Miserabablebles", and later "Less Miserables").
** Titles with Roman numerals tend to have them pronounced as letters, for example: "''[[Film/SupermanIVTheQuestForPeace Superman Eye-Vee]]''" and "''[[Film/AttackOfTheClones Star Wars Episode Eleven]]''"
** 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 ''Disney/SleepingBeauty'' instead.
** In the ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys3'' video, the narrator can't figure out how to pronounce creator Scott Cawthon's surname.
** In the ''Film/JurassicWorld'' video, the narrator can't pronounce director Colin Trevorrow's name and just calls him "Not Creator/StevenSpielberg" instead.
** In the realm of Honest Game Trailers, there's ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil1 Residente Vil-ey]]'', ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV Grand Theft Auto Vuh]]'', and ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Final Fantasy Vii]]''.
* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: The second trailer for ''Series/GameOfThrones'' points out how the show has transcended its original, more realistic style of the first season and turned into "crazy heavy metal album art", referring to the introduction of more fantasy-like elements like the dragons and White Walkers.
* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer:
** During several scenes of awkward silence in ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'', ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', and ''Series/BreakingBad'', a caption will appear to point out that the scene is unedited by them.
** Half of the ''Film/JupiterAscending'' trailer is them recapping the plot of the film with no jokes, with captions pointing out that this is the story the filmmakers actually went with. (And also noting that Channing Tatum wears pointy ears, yet the movie was screened at ''Sundance''.)
** 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.
--->'''Affleck:''' I asked Michael why... and he told me to shut the fuck up. So th-that was the end of that talk. ''[...]'' 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''.
* NotQuiteDead: Lampshaded in the trailer for ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'', where it's revealed that [[spoiler:Bucky, Dr. Zola, Nick Fury, and Crossbones (Brock Rumlow)]] all turn out to still be alive.
* NotSoDifferent: From the ''Frozen'' trailer, the narrator notes that when disaster strikes, Anna saves the day by joining forces with her sister (''Anna and Elsa sharing a laugh''), a merchant (''Oaken''), a hot guy, (''Kristoff'') and a snowman (''Olaf''), to defeat villains like: her sister (''Elsa having a mental breakdown''), a merchant (''the Duke of Weselton''), a hot guy, (''[[spoiler:Prince Hans]]'') and a snowman (''Marshmallow'')!
* NotSoStoic: The narrator usually delivers all his lines in the same epic tone, but when he's talking about certain things, he'll drop the stoicism:
** When he's talking about [[spoiler: the changes done to the Mandarin]] in ''Film/IronMan3'', he's clearly upset.
** And of course, there's his increasing anger that comes out in the Honest Trailer for ''After Earth'', culminating in a case of ScrewThisImOuttaHere.
** In the Honest Game Trailer for ''VideoGame/MarioKart'', the narrator gets upset when he gets hit by a blue shell.
--->'''Narrator:''' A weapon so incredibly evil that it seeks out the lead driver and -- AW COME ON!!! I was right there! This happens every race! Stupid Nintendo! I was like in first the entire freakin' time!
** Calling for the death of King Justin Bieber/Joffrey in the ''Series/GameOfThrones'' trailer. And in the second ''GOT'' trailer, for Ramsay Bolton/[[InvincibleVillain Invincible Joffrey]] to also get a CruelAndUnusualDeath, as he's earning it.
** In ''Film/{{The Maze Runner|2014}}'', the narrator questions the plot, culminating angrily with "And how can trapping a bunch of teenagers in a maze possibly be the solution to any of society problems?! '''HELLO?! ANYONE?! F*CK!'''"
* NotThatTheresAnythingWrongWithThat: In ''Disney/TheLionKing'' trailer, the narrator says these words immediately after mentioning "a child raised by a same sex couple" (flashes pics of Simba being raised by Timon and Pumbaa) as one of the things he's surprised got included in a G-Rated movie.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:O]]
* ObviouslyEvil: The Honest Game Trailer for ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'' describes Wesker as "the world's most obvious traitor".
-->'''Narrator:''' Spoiler alert! But come on, he wears sunglasses - indoors - at night. Confirmed douchebag.
* OhNoNotAgain: In the ''Film/AfterEarth'' trailer:
-->'''Narrator:''' From the director of... ''[Creator/MNightShyamalan[='s=] name appears on the screen]'' Oh God, not him again...
* OldShame: [[invoked]] TheStinger for the ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'' trailer is clips of the cast and director expressing their regret of the film.
* OlderThanTheyThink: The ''Film/{{Batman}}'' trailer does it "in-universe", pointing out that said movie was already creating controversy and hitting most of the "angry internet nerd bingo" sore points such as changing backstories, odd casting choices, and {{Race Lift}}ing, before the internet was even much of a thing.
* TheOneWith: Honest Trailers that cover whole game franchises or movie series with several entries sometimes do this when listing them all.
** In the ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' video, they list the movies this way, in order of release:
--->'''Narrator:''' [[Film/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone The one that started it all]]. [[Film/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets The one]] [[{{Sequelitis}} everyone hates]]. [[Film/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban The one]] [[SurprisinglyImprovedSequel everyone loves]]. [[Film/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire The one]] [[Creator/RobertPattinson with Shovelface]]. [[Film/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix The one]] [[OfficialCouple with the raging hormones]]. [[Film/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince The one where]] [[spoiler:Dumbledore dies]] (Oh... Spoilers!). [[Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows The one]] [[{{Filler}} you can skip]]. [[Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows And the one]] [[TearJerker/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows that made adults cry like little babies]].
** For the ''Franchise/MetalGear'' games:
--->'''Narrator:''' [[VideoGame/MetalGear1 The MSX games]] [[VideoGame/MetalGear2SolidSnake you've never played]]. [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid The one that blew your tiny child mind]]. [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty The one where you played as this asshole]] ([[ReplacementScrappy Raiden]]). [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater The one with]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext the alligator hat]]. [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots The one that explained everything]] [[AssPull with "'cuz nanomachines"]] (shows a montage of everytime someone says "nanomachines" in the game).
** For the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' series:
--->'''Narrator:''' There's the one you played in diapers (the first game). The one you [[TakeThatAudience suck at]]. No, trust me, [[TournamentPlay you do]] (''Melee''). The one [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks everyone hates for not being]] ''[[TheyChangedItNowItSucks Melee]]'' (''Brawl''). And the one I'm still... ''[sounds of button mashing]'' ...playing... as we... speak. Yes! ''[more sounds of button mashing]'' ... right, the trailer! (the [=3DS/WiiU=] version).
** For the ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps'' series:[[note]]Or rather, the ''Call of Duty'' games developed by Treyarch[[/note]]
--->'''Narrator:''' [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyWorldAtWar The one]] that's not called ''Black Ops''. [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps The Cold War one]] with the plot from ''Series/{{Lost}}''. [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps2 The one with]] the MultipleEndings [[spoiler:[[InvadedStatesOfAmerica where drones blow up future Los Angeles]]]]. [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps3 And the one]] where they just said "f*ck it" and made you into a psychic robot.
** For the ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' DLC packages:
--->'''Narrator:''' The ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' [[VideoGame/NaziZombies zombies]] one (The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned). The one that was just a bunch of slapped-together arena fights (Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot). The one that raised the level cap (The Secret Armory of General Knoxx). And the one that [[TakeThatScrappy finally lets you destroy]] [[AnnoyingVideoGameHelper those stupid f*cking Claptraps]] (Claptrap's New Robot Revolution). ''[footage of a Claptrap being blasted to pieces]'' [[CatharsisFactor Yeah! Oh, yeah, that feels good.]]
** For the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' games:
--->'''Narrator:''' [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1 The original games]], [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2 whose magic]] [[FirstInstallmentWins will never be recaptured]]. [[VideoGame/SonicChaos The handheld versions that]] [[VideoGame/SonicSpinball are way worse than you remember]]. [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure The Dreamcast one]] [[SeasonalRot where sh*t started to go off the rails]]. [[VideoGame/KnucklesChaotix The one where]] [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs the designers took a bunch of acid]]. [[VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog The one designed]] [[DarkerAndEdgier by your edgy younger brother]]. [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 The one where]] Sonic makes out with a human lady. [[VideoGame/SonicUnleashed The one where they ran out of ideas and made Sonic into a werewolf]]. [[VideoGame/SonicLostWorld The]] ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' [[VideoGame/SonicLostWorld one]]. [[VideoGame/SonicStorybookSeries Some motion-controlled trash]]. And [[VideoGame/SonicBoom the one where they f*cked up Sonic's arms and everything else]].
** For the ''VideoGame/XCom'' games:
--->'''Narrator:''' The ones with all the micromanaging. The ones you've never played. The one we're all [[FanonDiscontinuity just gonna pretend doesn't exist]]. [[VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown And the one that proved that AAA strategy games aren't dead]]; there's room for, like... one of them at a time.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: The ''Film/PacificRim'' trailer points out Englander Creator/CharlieHunnam's trouble.
-->'''Narrator:''' Meet Raleigh Becket, a hotshot pilot struggling to maintain his American accent.\\
'''Raleigh:''' You know, all these years of living in the past... never really ''thawt'' about the future.
* OhTheHumanity: The narrator is forced into this when "evil" Peter Parker goes dancing in the street.
* OvertOperative: In ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'', "Suit up with 007, the super-secret MI6 agent, who everyone knows by his real name." ''[cue every instance of a character addressing him as some variant of "James Bond"]''
* TheOtherDarrin: [[invoked]]
** Appears at times. For instance, in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', the Hulk is "Not [[Film/TheIncredibleHulk Edward Norton]]" ("[[Film/{{Hulk}} ALSO NOT ERIC BANA]]").
** In ''Film/IronMan2'', Don Cheadle/Rhodey is "Better Terrence Howard".
** TheNthDoctor: The Narrator of Honest Trailers.
* OverlyLongGag:
** One example is from the ''Lord of the Rings'' trailer, as "these unlikely heroes embark on [[SceneryPorn an eleven hour New Zealand tourism commercial]] rife with: walking... roaming... hiking... [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment more walking]]... and strolling. That trailer also [[EndingFatigue ends three times]].
** The ''[[HeldGaze STARES]]'' in ''Twilight''. Best of all, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpU5O_Uur_c they made a supercut]] of '''ALL''' the stares in the series. The video is just a little under ''half an hour''.
** The ''Film/StarTrek'' trailer does this with ''{{LENS FLARE}}S'', and the same music.
** From ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'':
--->'''Narrator:''' All to leave more time for... foreshadowing ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', introducing the plot device for... ''The Avengers'', unnecessarily freezing himself so he can be in... ''The Avengers'', and [[TheStinger an after-credits scene]] that is literally a trailer for... ''The Avengers''.
** 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.
* OverlyNarrowSuperlative:
** The ''Film/{{Godzilla 2014}}'' trailer calls the movie "the best American Godzilla movie ever made, which really isn't saying much," and shows crappy scenes from [[Film/{{Godzilla 1998}} the 1998 Godzilla movie]].
** The ''Film/JurassicWorld'' trailer calls it "the best ''Jurassic Park'' sequel ever made, which really isn't saying much," and shows crappy scenes from ''Film/JurassicParkIII''.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Their opinion of every single 2015 summer blockbuster that was not ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad''.
* OverusedRunningGag: The narrator cuts short the ''LENS FLARES'' montage from ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'', deciding the audience gets the point already.
* {{Padding}}[[invoked]]:
** From the ''Twilight: Breaking Dawn'' trailer: "Brace yourself for two movies so unnecessarily long that they include [[ProductPlacement five Volvo commercials]], two montages of the previous Twilight movies, four games of chess, and '''the [[PunctuatedForEmphasis MOST]]. [[HeldGaze STARES]]. [[UpToEleven EVER]]!'''"
** The trailer for ''Titanic'', "a film so bloated you can honestly just skip the first half hour (Don't worry, there's still, like, three hours left to go)."
** In ''Man of Steel'', the description of Krypton includes "way too many subplots".
** The trailer for ''Film/TheHobbitAnUnexpectedJourney'' lampshades the three hour run time of the movie in its own way.....the narrator at one point dozes off and yawns when he is suddenly roused from his nodding off at the mike.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:P - Q]]
* PanderingToTheBase: Invoked with the trailer for "Transformers: Age of Extinction", the highest-grossing movie in China to date.
* PaperThinDisguise: In ''Avatar'', "follow along with a team of scientists who blend in with the natives by wearing the Gap khaki collection."
* ParanoiaFuel[[invoked]]: ''Film/GoneGirl'' is the movie that left its viewers "wondering if their significant other was planning to kill them!" The narrator also thinks it should alternatively be titled ''Your Wife Probably Wants To Kill You''.
* PatrioticFervor: ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare''[='=]s campaign is described as the following:
-->'''Narrator:''' Experience [[{{Eagleland}} the ultimate American power fantasy]] as you mow down thousands of [[AcceptableTargets faceless Arabs, angry Latinos, and evil Russians]], in campaigns so patriotic they could give [[UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan Reagan]]'s ghost a boner.
* PigeonholedVoiceActor: Their ''Lord of the Rings'' video lampshades how most of Creator/AndySerkis' post-Gollum roles [[Film/KingKong2005 have been]] [[Film/RiseOfThePlanetOfTheApes mostly motion]]-[[WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTintin capture ones]].
-->'''Narrator:''' From the award winning visual effects team that launched the career of one man who must now [[SerkisFolk wear skintight Spandex and face dots]] [[UpToEleven for the rest of his life]]...
* PoorMansSubstitute: [[invoked]]
** {{Hunk}} actors with [[DullSurprise questionable acting abilities]] tend to be considered a Poor Man's Substitute of Creator/ChanningTatum. [[Creator/AaronJohnson Aaron Taylor-Johnson]] is credited as "Discount Channing Tatum" in ''Film/{{Godzilla 2014}}'', and Creator/JaiCourtney is described as a "homeless man's Channing Tatum" in ''Film/TerminatorGenisys''.
** In ''Film/IronMan2'', director Creator/JonFavreau is called "the poor man's Creator/JossWhedon".
** The ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' Honest Trailer calls Creator/JJAbrams "diet [[Creator/StevenSpielberg Spielberg]]".
** The ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles: Out of Their Shells'' Honest Trailer describes the Shredder in the musical as "[[ShapedLikeItself a homeless man's Shredder]]".
* PrecisionFStrike:
** Normally swearing is bleeped out, but a clear f-word is left at the end of ''The Dark Knight'' trailer.
--->'''Narrator:''' Oh, who are we kidding? This movie is fucking awesome...
** There is one for the original ''Film/RoboCop1987'' trailer; it ''is'' bleeped out, but you can still clearly hear it.
--->'''Narrator:''' Rated 'R' for [=RoboCop=]. [[TakeThat Because that's how you make a f*cking RoboCop movie!]]
* PreviewsPulse: Pointed out in the trailers for ''Film/{{Inception}}'' and ''Film/WorldWarZ'', and imitated in the teaser for ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice''.
* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: [[invoked]]
** The Honest Trailer for the ''VideoGame/MadMax'' video game compares it to other rushed, crappy games based on terrific movies such as ''Film/{{Jaws}}'', ''Film/TheMatrix'' and ''Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial''.
** The ''Ghostbusters II'' Honest Trailer also draws attention to the two terrible ''Ghostbusters'' video games made after the first movie.
* 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 Josh Gad and Creator/PeterDinklage:
-->'''Narrator:''' Not cool, man! Suck all you want, but don't drag [[Series/GameOfThrones Tyrion]] down with you!
* ProductPlacement: ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' set records for ProductPlacement in real life. So for the Honest Trailer, instead of announcing the actual stars, the narrator announces these stars:
-->'''Narrator:''' Starring: Burger King, Panasonic, eBay, Cadillac, GMC, Music/TheStrokes, Pepto-Bismol, {{Xbox}}, ''Furbies?!'' Pontiac, Mountain Dew, Chevrolet, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Chevrolet]], [[AndStarring and introducing]], [[RuleOfThree Chevrolet]]."
** And the last ''Twilight'' movie is so bloated that the narrator says it contains the equivalent of five Volvo commercials.
** TheStinger for ''World War Z'''s trailer parodies the film's use of this.
--->'''Narrator:''' Man, all the reshoots must have cost a fortune. How'd they afford to pay for that? (''scene of Brad Pitt drinking a Pepsi'') Man, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint that really makes me want a Coke]].
* ProtagonistJourneyToVillain: In ''Series/BreakingBad'', "[Walter White will] cook crystal meth [[JustifiedCriminal to pay for his expensive cancer treatment]], [[OnlyInItForTheMoney then to save money for his family]], [[ForTheEvulz and then just because]]...."
* PungeonMaster: The narrator says that in ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'', Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy [[VillainTeamUp team up]], "even though their goals are completely incompatible, to make '''the most puns ever'''." ''[Cue montage of Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy making puns]''
** Also reflected in the starring bit, as for Mr. Freeze he's credited as "[[Film/TheRunningMan The Punning Man]], [[Film/ConanTheBarbarian1982 Coldman the Barbarian]], [[Film/KindergartenCop Kindergartern Ice Pop]], Franchise/{{Terminator}} Blue...."
* PunnyName: Actors' names are often punned when read. For instance:

** "[[Creator/NoomiRapace Noomi Rapeface]]" and "[[Creator/CharlizeTheron Charlie The Ron]]" for ''Film/{{Prometheus}}''.
** "[[Creator/HarrisonFord Harrison Bored]]", "[[Creator/ShiaLaBeouf Shit the Bed]]", and "[[Creator/CateBlanchett Cat Blanket]]" for ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull''.

** ''Harry Potter'' has [[Creator/GaryOldman Hairy Old Man]] and [[Franchise/StarWars Luke Skypotter]].
** "[[Creator/IdrisElba Eye Dress Elbow]]", "[[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Lokimon]]", and "[[Creator/NataliePortman Portm]][[Series/{{Portlandia}} andia]]" from ''Film/{{Thor}}''.
** "[[Creator/SigourneyWeaver Sick Horny Weaver]]" in ''Film/{{Ghostbusters 1984}}''
** The Film/AttackOfTheClones trailer gave us "[[Creator/HaydenChristensen Hay Don't Act Again]]" and "[[Creator/EwanMcGregor Ewan a Bad Movie]]"
** ''Film/SpidermanTrilogy'' lists Topher Grace as "Gopher Face".
** Creator/SeanBean in ''Film/JupiterAscending'' is credited as "Sean Bee-n".
** ''Everyone'' who's credited in ''[[Film/TheFastAndTheFurious Furious 7]]'' (except for Creator/VinDiesel).
--->'''Narrator:''' That's just his name. That's not a pun.
** "[[Creator/KateBeckinsale Kate Beckons Sailors]]" in ''Film/PearlHarbor''.

[[folder:R]]
* RaceLift:
** In ''Skyfall'', there's disbelief at the fact that Ms. Moneypenny's black. Credited as "Miss Moneypenny's black?!"
** The "race bending" of ''The Last Airbender'' is "advertised".
--->'''Narrator:''' Watch as the ethnically diverse heroes you know and love are brought to life as generic white kids, and the ethnically diverse villains... stay ethnically diverse.
** Lawrence Fishburne as Perry White in ''Film/ManOfSteel'' is credited as "Perry Black".
** Discussed in the ''Film/{{Batman}}'' trailer, where the narrator checks the "Cast a black guy to play a white guy" box for the "Break the Internet bingo" he's playing.
* RageQuit: The narrator finds ''Film/AfterEarth'' far too dumb, gives up, and drives off in a huff just before the cast reading.
* RantInducingSlight: The narrator will at times get really angry, such as in a diatribe over meter maids given it's what ''Zootopia'' protagonist Judy Hopps starts as.
* RealTrailerFakeMovie: For AprilFoolsDay in 2015, there was an Honest Game Trailer for ''[[{{Vaporware}} Half-Life 3]]''. The trailer pretty much consists of calling it the greatest human experience ever made.
* RealityEnsues: What happens during the Honest Game Trailer for ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag''.
--> (Edward dives into a bale of hay) "Surely this small amount of hay will cushion the impact--*CRACK* OH GOD, MY BONES!"
** ''Honest Action'' explains how some movie injuries would be a lot more severe in real life, by describing how many lives one needs to survive all of them.
* RecurringElement:
** Each of the ''Film/MissionImpossible'' films involves a rogue IMF agent and an arms dealer.
** The Honest Trailer for the ''Film/{{Watchmen}}'' movie points out several things that director Creator/ZackSnyder later carried over into his films in the Film/DCExtendedUniverse, ''Film/ManOfSteel'' and ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', such as huge amounts of rain, graphic violence, Jesus allegories, apocalyptic dream sequences and [[spoiler:a scene where two characters who don't like each other discover that they have the same name (comparing it to the infamous "Martha" scene in ''[=BvS=]'')]].
* RecycledInSpace: The Honest Game Trailer for ''VideoGame/Starcraft2'' names it "''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'' IN SPACE!", referring to how the gameplay in the games are essentially the same.
* RecycledScript: [[invoked]]
** The ''Spider-Man'' trilogy. Composed of:
##''Film/SpiderMan1'', where Peter Parker struggles with his powers, breaks up with Mary Jane, and fights with a villain that ultimately kills himself;
##''Film/SpiderMan2'', where Peter Parker struggles with his powers, breaks up with Mary Jane, and fights with a villain that ultimately kills himself; and
##''Film/SpiderMan3'', where Peter Parker struggles with his powers, breaks up with Mary Jane, and fights with a villain that ultimately kills himself. "[[LampshadedTrope Wait, did they just make the same movie]] [[RuleOfThree 3 times in a row?]]."
** And also the ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' trilogy. Composed by:
## ''Film/BackToTheFuture'': where they travel to the past, beat up the bully, fix the future, and set up the sequel,
## ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartII'': where they travel to the past, beat up the bully, fix the future, and set up the sequel, and
## ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII'': where they travel to the past, beat up the bully, fix the future, and leave open the possibility for a sequel.
--->'''Biff Tannen:''' There's something very familiar about all this...
** ''Skyfall'''s trailer lampoons how the hard drive Bond is after contains the identity of all NATO agents, which is ripped off from ''Film/MissionImpossible'' and how the ending is a rip off of ''Film/HomeAlone''.
** Jon Bailey actually interrupts his reading of both ''Divergent'' Honest Trailers finding the movie identical to other dystopias (''The Hunger Games'' for the original, ''Film/{{The Maze Runner|2014}}'' for ''Insurgent'').
** ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare''[='=]s storyline is called as such.
--->'''Narrator:''' Pick up all three of the best-selling shooters that are all the same, full of rehashed moments like: slow-motion door breaches; the level where you control a giant gun; [[ControllableHelplessness that part where you look around and wait to die]]; the unnecessary controversial moment; and, the climatic ending where you're seriously injured and the main bad guy is about to kill you... but then he gets distracted by something which gives you enough time to kill him first.
** The first four ''Film/MissionImpossible'' movies, involving a rogue IMF agent and an arms dealer.
** The video for ''Film/AntMan'' points out the plot's similarities to the first ''Film/IronMan1'' movie, such as a brilliant tech industrialist being betrayed by a bald former ally and a supporting character looking at the suit they'll wear in the sequel.
** Relentlessly parodied in ''Film/SupermanReturns'', where all of the homages to the Donner films are said to just be kind of pointless and dull, especially when combined with weepy dramatic subplots and very unsubtle Jesus imagery; at one point, all of the dialogue directly lifted from the first film is just played side-to-side with the original.
--->'''Narrator:''' Christopher Reeve ''IS'' Superman... and Brandon Routh is doing a pretty good impression of him.\\
'''Narrator:''' Kevin Spacey stars as Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor!
** The Honest Game Trailer for ''VideoGame/StarFoxZero'' mocks the game for how much it copied from ''VideoGame/StarFox64'', such as the story, levels, bosses and enemies.
** ''Ghostbusters II'', which gets a side by side comparison to the first movie, pointing out how the plot is identical to the first film.
--->'''Narrator:''' ''[annoyed]'' It's exactly the same as the first movie! But bad!
** The Honest Trailer for ''[[Film/TheBourneSeries The Bourne Trilogy]]'' (''[[Film/TheBourneIdentity Identity]]'', ''[[Film/TheBourneSupremacy Supremacy]]'', and ''[[Film/TheBourneUltimatum Ultimatum]]'') points out how all three movies have Bourne try to find out something about his identity, is in a cool car chase, runs from a control room full of people on computers and discovers that the corrupt agent chasing him [[spoiler:was just [[TheDragon a puppet]] [[TheManBehindTheMan for someone else]]]].
--->'''Narrator:''' Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
* RelationshipSue: [[invoked]] Creator/RyanGosling in ''Film/TheNotebook'' is credited as "Perfection".
* ReplacementScrappy: [[invoked]] [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIITheSecretOfTheOoze Tokka and Rahzar]] (who are {{Suspiciously Similar Substitute}}s for [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 Bebop and Rocksteady]]) are referred to as, "two lame-ass ripoffs that no-one ever '''asked for!'''"
* {{Retraux}}: The ''Film/SupermanIVTheQuestForPeace'' and ''Film/TopGun'' trailers are filtered to make it look like they were ripped from an old video tape.
* RevenueEnhancingDevices:
** A big point in the Honest Trailer for ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', the very first Honest Trailer, is that the movie was being re-released in 3D.
** ''Film/{{Titanic|1997}}'' 3D. "3D so real, you can actually ''feel'' Creator/JamesCameron stealing money from your pocket."
** As the introduction of ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare'' points out
---> '''Narrator:''' Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Special Edition [Total Cost: $180]. Plus {{DLC}} [Total Cost: $280].
* RoleAssociation: [[invoked]]
** Twice this is used in a ShapedLikeItself manner. The ''Film/JurassicPark'' trailer credits Creator/SamNeill as "The guy from Jurassic Park" and ''Film/HomeAlone'' has John Heard credited as "The dad from ''Home Alone''".
** ''Film/HarryPotter and the Goblet of Fire'' was "[[TheOneWith The one with]] [[Creator/RobertPattinson Shovelface]]".
** In ''Iron Man 2'', they take a very long time trying to figure out who Justin Hammer is played by, eventually remembering that it's [[spoiler:Creator/SamRockwell]].
--->'''Narrator:''' Oh, that guy from, um, uh... he was in that one movie... Sam... Elliot? No, uh... man, it's bugging me... [[spoiler:Sam Rockwell!]] It's [[spoiler:Sam Rockwell!]] That's the guy. I loved him in [[spoiler:''Film/GalaxyQuest''!]]
** ''Film/StarTrek'' asked important questions like "Oh, Creator/WinonaRyder's still working?"
** In ''Film/ThreeHundred'', the narrator is surprised to see that it stars [[Creator/LenaHeadey Cersei]] [[Series/GameOfThrones Lannister]], [[Series/TheWire McNulty]] and Creator/MichaelFassbender.
** By the truckload in the ''Series/{{Entourage}}'' trailer, which points out the show's celebrity cameos.
* RootingForTheEmpire: Invoked by the narrator when he has this reaction to watching [[StuffBlowingUp the exploding warships]] in ''Film/PearlHarbor'', getting so excited by the action... that he forgets he's cheering on the Japanese bombers blowing up fellow Americans.
-->'''Narrator:''' Dammit Creator/MichaelBay, why'd you make that look so cool?
* RuleOfCool: In ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', they point out their disbelief at how the ComicBook/IncredibleHulk could suddenly and inexplicably control his rage, "which doesn't matter, because that shot was ''awesome''."
* RunningGag:
** "[[Literature/{{Twilight}} STARES]]." Also made into an OverlyLongGag set to very EPIC music. Done for X-Men and Godzilla, too!
** "...[[DistractedByTheSexy Bewbs!]]" / "...[[EatingTheEyeCandy Abs!]]" / "...[[NakedPeopleAreFunny Tush!]]" / "...And [[CensorBox pixellated]] Bahls!"
** Shots of characters looking strained from a test of strength will be dubbed: "(Character) pooping."
** Any trailer involving an animated movie will have silly dubs of the songs, with the obligatory love song changed to a song about "porking."
** The constant Bonnie jumpscares in the VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys video. As well as at the end, the narrator is relieved that at least there are no sequels, only for the sequel title to appear. At the end of the Honest Game Trailer for ''Five Nights At Freddy's 2'', the exact same joke is done only to reveal ''Five Nights At Freddys 3''.
** The ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' trailers will at least have one Pokemon being called "[[Music/AliciaKeys This (Creature) is on Fire!]]"
** "And leave a comment with a word you'd like to hear me say in my awesome voice."
** "What a coincidence!" In the ''WebVideo/CinemaSins'' crossover video "Everything Wrong with ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2''", everytime characters meet up or something happens conveniently to the plot.

[[folder:N]]
* NamesTheSame: [[invoked]] [[PlayedForLaughs Used for comedic effect]] in the honest trailer for ''Film/HomeAlone'': [[Creator/ChrisColumbus the film's director Chris Columbus]] is credited as "the [[UsefulNotes/ChristopherColumbus Chris Columbus]] that didn't kill any Indians".
** Also invoked for ''Series/GameOfThrones'', in which the narrator confuses Samwell Tarly for [[Film/LordOfTheRings Samwise Gamgee]] (another fat guy named Sam who supports the main character).
* NauseaFuel: Invoked in the honest trailer for ''{{Film/Gravity}}'', where the narrator watches the first-person shot of Ryan repeatedly spinning backwards early on in the film, and nearly barfs.
* NeverTrustATrailer: Based around subverting this marketing. Some specific examples when they've pointed out how inaccurate trailers are:
** The Honest Trailer for ''Film/MagicMike'', whose advertising focused on the parts [[MrFanservice where hunky actors play male strippers]] and left out the serious, emotional story, leading to an Honest Trailer with a ton of [[MoodWhiplash sudden and heavy shifts in mood]].
** The Honest Game Trailer for ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'', which mentions how the game's emotional cinematic trailer constrasted with the gory action of the actual game.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands:
** In ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', they criticize how Deadpool, "The merc with a mouth, gets his mouth removed, and trades his cool costume for eight minute abs, and magic eyeshadow. Oh, and he also gets a grab bag of random mutant powers that Deadpool never had."
--->'''Narrator:''' Are we ''sure'' Brett Ratner didn't direct this?
** In ''Superman IV'', "Stare in wide-eyed disbelief at these new, completely made-up powers like rebuilding the Great Wall of China with his eyes, lowering people with his mind, and [[BatmanCanBreatheInSpace helping this woman breathe in outer space]]."
* TheNicknamer: The TropeCodifier in any medium. UpToEleven when ''all 152 Pokemon'' from ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' are nicknamed -- ''including'' [=MissingNo.=]
* NominalHero / DesignatedHero: The protagonists of ''Fast Five'' "will stop at nothing to take down a sort-of-ruthless drug lord, by destroying poor neighborhoods, destroying rich neighborhoods, killing twenty-two cops with a giant metal safe, and ultimately leaving Rio in way worse shape than when they found it."
* NonIndicativeName: In the ''Film/{{Maleficent}}'' trailer, the narrator points out how the changes to the title character turned her name into this trope.
-->'''Narrator:''' Instead, watch as the character whose name literally means "evil" [[PokeThePoodle mildly punks people]], feels sorry, [[FreudianExcuse and is only mean because she was roofied and mutilated by her childhood love]].
* NonhumansLackAttributes: From the ''Film/DawnOfThePlanetOfTheApes'' trailer:
-->'''Narrator:''' So, how do I put this... where are all the monkey dicks?
* NoOSHACompliance: In the ''Harry Potter'' trailer, child endangerment is described as being no big deal. Cue montage of various characters receiving horrifying injuries from magic spells or other accidents.
-->'''Narrator:''' Seriously, how have they not shut this school down yet?
* NoPronunciationGuide: Sometimes the title of a film will deliberately be said incorrectly.
** ''Les Miserables'' causes particular trouble ("Les Miserabablebles", and later "Less Miserables").
** Titles with Roman numerals tend to have them pronounced as letters, for example: "''[[Film/SupermanIVTheQuestForPeace Superman Eye-Vee]]''" and "''[[Film/AttackOfTheClones Star Wars Episode Eleven]]''"
** 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 ''Disney/SleepingBeauty'' instead.
** In the ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys3'' video, the narrator can't figure out how to pronounce creator Scott Cawthon's surname.
** In the ''Film/JurassicWorld'' video, the narrator can't pronounce director Colin Trevorrow's name and just calls him "Not Creator/StevenSpielberg" instead.
** In the realm of Honest Game Trailers, there's ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil1 Residente Vil-ey]]'', ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV Grand Theft Auto Vuh]]'', and ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Final Fantasy Vii]]''.
* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: The second trailer for ''Series/GameOfThrones'' points out how the show has transcended its original, more realistic style of the first season and turned into "crazy heavy metal album art", referring to the introduction of more fantasy-like elements like the dragons and White Walkers.
* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer:
** During several scenes of awkward silence in ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'', ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', and ''Series/BreakingBad'', a caption will appear to point out that the scene is unedited by them.
** Half of the ''Film/JupiterAscending'' trailer is them recapping the plot of the film with no jokes, with captions pointing out that this is the story the filmmakers actually went with. (And also noting that Channing Tatum wears pointy ears, yet the movie was screened at ''Sundance''.)
** 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.
--->'''Affleck:''' I asked Michael why... and he told me to shut the fuck up. So th-that was the end of that talk. ''[...]'' 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''.
* NotQuiteDead: Lampshaded in the trailer for ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'', where it's revealed that [[spoiler:Bucky, Dr. Zola, Nick Fury, and Crossbones (Brock Rumlow)]] all turn out to still be alive.
* NotSoDifferent: From the ''Frozen'' trailer, the narrator notes that when disaster strikes, Anna saves the day by joining forces with her sister (''Anna and Elsa sharing a laugh''), a merchant (''Oaken''), a hot guy, (''Kristoff'') and a snowman (''Olaf''), to defeat villains like: her sister (''Elsa having a mental breakdown''), a merchant (''the Duke of Weselton''), a hot guy, (''[[spoiler:Prince Hans]]'') and a snowman (''Marshmallow'')!
* NotSoStoic: The narrator usually delivers all his lines in the same epic tone, but when he's talking about certain things, he'll drop the stoicism:
** When he's talking about [[spoiler: the changes done to the Mandarin]] in ''Film/IronMan3'', he's clearly upset.
** And of course, there's his increasing anger that comes out in the Honest Trailer for ''After Earth'', culminating in a case of ScrewThisImOuttaHere.
** In the Honest Game Trailer for ''VideoGame/MarioKart'', the narrator gets upset when he gets hit by a blue shell.
--->'''Narrator:''' A weapon so incredibly evil that it seeks out the lead driver and -- AW COME ON!!! I was right there! This happens every race! Stupid Nintendo! I was like in first the entire freakin' time!
** Calling for the death of King Justin Bieber/Joffrey in the ''Series/GameOfThrones'' trailer. And in the second ''GOT'' trailer, for Ramsay Bolton/[[InvincibleVillain Invincible Joffrey]] to also get a CruelAndUnusualDeath, as he's earning it.
** In ''Film/{{The Maze Runner|2014}}'', the narrator questions the plot, culminating angrily with "And how can trapping a bunch of teenagers in a maze possibly be the solution to any of society problems?! '''HELLO?! ANYONE?! F*CK!'''"
* NotThatTheresAnythingWrongWithThat: In ''Disney/TheLionKing'' trailer, the narrator says these words immediately after mentioning "a child raised by a same sex couple" (flashes pics of Simba being raised by Timon and Pumbaa) as one of the things he's surprised got included in a G-Rated movie.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:O]]
* ObviouslyEvil: The Honest Game Trailer for ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'' describes Wesker as "the world's most obvious traitor".
-->'''Narrator:''' Spoiler alert! But come on, he wears sunglasses - indoors - at night. Confirmed douchebag.
* OhNoNotAgain: In the ''Film/AfterEarth'' trailer:
-->'''Narrator:''' From the director of... ''[Creator/MNightShyamalan[='s=] name appears on the screen]'' Oh God, not him again...
* OldShame: [[invoked]] TheStinger for the ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'' trailer is clips of the cast and director expressing their regret of the film.
* OlderThanTheyThink: The ''Film/{{Batman}}'' trailer does it "in-universe", pointing out that said movie was already creating controversy and hitting most of the "angry internet nerd bingo" sore points such as changing backstories, odd casting choices, and {{Race Lift}}ing, before the internet was even much of a thing.
* TheOneWith: Honest Trailers that cover whole game franchises or movie series with several entries sometimes do this when listing them all.
** In the ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' video, they list the movies this way, in order of release:
--->'''Narrator:''' [[Film/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone The one that started it all]]. [[Film/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets The one]] [[{{Sequelitis}} everyone hates]]. [[Film/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban The one]] [[SurprisinglyImprovedSequel everyone loves]]. [[Film/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire The one]] [[Creator/RobertPattinson with Shovelface]]. [[Film/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix The one]] [[OfficialCouple with the raging hormones]]. [[Film/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince The one where]] [[spoiler:Dumbledore dies]] (Oh... Spoilers!). [[Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows The one]] [[{{Filler}} you can skip]]. [[Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows And the one]] [[TearJerker/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows that made adults cry like little babies]].
** For the ''Franchise/MetalGear'' games:
--->'''Narrator:''' [[VideoGame/MetalGear1 The MSX games]] [[VideoGame/MetalGear2SolidSnake you've never played]]. [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid The one that blew your tiny child mind]]. [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty The one where you played as this asshole]] ([[ReplacementScrappy Raiden]]). [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater The one with]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext the alligator hat]]. [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots The one that explained everything]] [[AssPull with "'cuz nanomachines"]] (shows a montage of everytime someone says "nanomachines" in the game).
** For the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' series:
--->'''Narrator:''' There's the one you played in diapers (the first game). The one you [[TakeThatAudience suck at]]. No, trust me, [[TournamentPlay you do]] (''Melee''). The one [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks everyone hates for not being]] ''[[TheyChangedItNowItSucks Melee]]'' (''Brawl''). And the one I'm still... ''[sounds of button mashing]'' ...playing... as we... speak. Yes! ''[more sounds of button mashing]'' ... right, the trailer! (the [=3DS/WiiU=] version).
** For the ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps'' series:[[note]]Or rather, the ''Call of Duty'' games developed by Treyarch[[/note]]
--->'''Narrator:''' [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyWorldAtWar The one]] that's not called ''Black Ops''. [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps The Cold War one]] with the plot from ''Series/{{Lost}}''. [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps2 The one with]] the MultipleEndings [[spoiler:[[InvadedStatesOfAmerica where drones blow up future Los Angeles]]]]. [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps3 And the one]] where they just said "f*ck it" and made you into a psychic robot.
** For the ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' DLC packages:
--->'''Narrator:''' The ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' [[VideoGame/NaziZombies zombies]] one (The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned). The one that was just a bunch of slapped-together arena fights (Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot). The one that raised the level cap (The Secret Armory of General Knoxx). And the one that [[TakeThatScrappy finally lets you destroy]] [[AnnoyingVideoGameHelper those stupid f*cking Claptraps]] (Claptrap's New Robot Revolution). ''[footage of a Claptrap being blasted to pieces]'' [[CatharsisFactor Yeah! Oh, yeah, that feels good.]]
** For the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' games:
--->'''Narrator:''' [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1 The original games]], [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2 whose magic]] [[FirstInstallmentWins will never be recaptured]]. [[VideoGame/SonicChaos The handheld versions that]] [[VideoGame/SonicSpinball are way worse than you remember]]. [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure The Dreamcast one]] [[SeasonalRot where sh*t started to go off the rails]]. [[VideoGame/KnucklesChaotix The one where]] [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs the designers took a bunch of acid]]. [[VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog The one designed]] [[DarkerAndEdgier by your edgy younger brother]]. [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 The one where]] Sonic makes out with a human lady. [[VideoGame/SonicUnleashed The one where they ran out of ideas and made Sonic into a werewolf]]. [[VideoGame/SonicLostWorld The]] ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' [[VideoGame/SonicLostWorld one]]. [[VideoGame/SonicStorybookSeries Some motion-controlled trash]]. And [[VideoGame/SonicBoom the one where they f*cked up Sonic's arms and everything else]].
** For the ''VideoGame/XCom'' games:
--->'''Narrator:''' The ones with all the micromanaging. The ones you've never played. The one we're all [[FanonDiscontinuity just gonna pretend doesn't exist]]. [[VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown And the one that proved that AAA strategy games aren't dead]]; there's room for, like... one of them at a time.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: The ''Film/PacificRim'' trailer points out Englander Creator/CharlieHunnam's trouble.
-->'''Narrator:''' Meet Raleigh Becket, a hotshot pilot struggling to maintain his American accent.\\
'''Raleigh:''' You know, all these years of living in the past... never really ''thawt'' about the future.
* OhTheHumanity: The narrator is forced into this when "evil" Peter Parker goes dancing in the street.
* OvertOperative: In ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'', "Suit up with 007, the super-secret MI6 agent, who everyone knows by his real name." ''[cue every instance of a character addressing him as some variant of "James Bond"]''
* TheOtherDarrin: [[invoked]]
** Appears at times. For instance, in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', the Hulk is "Not [[Film/TheIncredibleHulk Edward Norton]]" ("[[Film/{{Hulk}} ALSO NOT ERIC BANA]]").
** In ''Film/IronMan2'', Don Cheadle/Rhodey is "Better Terrence Howard".
** TheNthDoctor: The Narrator of Honest Trailers.
* OverlyLongGag:
** One example is from the ''Lord of the Rings'' trailer, as "these unlikely heroes embark on [[SceneryPorn an eleven hour New Zealand tourism commercial]] rife with: walking... roaming... hiking... [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment more walking]]... and strolling. That trailer also [[EndingFatigue ends three times]].
** The ''[[HeldGaze STARES]]'' in ''Twilight''. Best of all, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpU5O_Uur_c they made a supercut]] of '''ALL''' the stares in the series. The video is just a little under ''half an hour''.
** The ''Film/StarTrek'' trailer does this with ''{{LENS FLARE}}S'', and the same music.
** From ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'':
--->'''Narrator:''' All to leave more time for... foreshadowing ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', introducing the plot device for... ''The Avengers'', unnecessarily freezing himself so he can be in... ''The Avengers'', and [[TheStinger an after-credits scene]] that is literally a trailer for... ''The Avengers''.
** 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.
* OverlyNarrowSuperlative:
** The ''Film/{{Godzilla 2014}}'' trailer calls the movie "the best American Godzilla movie ever made, which really isn't saying much," and shows crappy scenes from [[Film/{{Godzilla 1998}} the 1998 Godzilla movie]].
** The ''Film/JurassicWorld'' trailer calls it "the best ''Jurassic Park'' sequel ever made, which really isn't saying much," and shows crappy scenes from ''Film/JurassicParkIII''.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Their opinion of every single 2015 summer blockbuster that was not ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad''.
* OverusedRunningGag: The narrator cuts short the ''LENS FLARES'' montage from ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'', deciding the audience gets the point already.
* {{Padding}}[[invoked]]:
** From the ''Twilight: Breaking Dawn'' trailer: "Brace yourself for two movies so unnecessarily long that they include [[ProductPlacement five Volvo commercials]], two montages of the previous Twilight movies, four games of chess, and '''the [[PunctuatedForEmphasis MOST]]. [[HeldGaze STARES]]. [[UpToEleven EVER]]!'''"
** The trailer for ''Titanic'', "a film so bloated you can honestly just skip the first half hour (Don't worry, there's still, like, three hours left to go)."
** In ''Man of Steel'', the description of Krypton includes "way too many subplots".
** The trailer for ''Film/TheHobbitAnUnexpectedJourney'' lampshades the three hour run time of the movie in its own way.....the narrator at one point dozes off and yawns when he is suddenly roused from his nodding off at the mike.

* PatrioticFervor: ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare''[='=]s campaign is described as the following:
-->'''Narrator:''' Experience [[{{Eagleland}} the ultimate American power fantasy]] as you mow down thousands of [[AcceptableTargets faceless Arabs, angry Latinos, and evil Russians]], in campaigns so patriotic they could give [[UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan Reagan]]'s ghost a boner.
* PigeonholedVoiceActor: Their ''Lord of the Rings'' video lampshades how most of Creator/AndySerkis' post-Gollum roles [[Film/KingKong2005 have been]] [[Film/RiseOfThePlanetOfTheApes mostly motion]]-[[WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTintin capture ones]].
-->'''Narrator:''' From the award winning visual effects team that launched the career of one man who must now [[SerkisFolk wear skintight Spandex and face dots]] [[UpToEleven for the rest of his life]]...
* PoorMansSubstitute: [[invoked]]
** {{Hunk}} actors with [[DullSurprise questionable acting abilities]] tend to be considered a Poor Man's Substitute of Creator/ChanningTatum. [[Creator/AaronJohnson Aaron Taylor-Johnson]] is credited as "Discount Channing Tatum" in ''Film/{{Godzilla 2014}}'', and Creator/JaiCourtney is described as a "homeless man's Channing Tatum" in ''Film/TerminatorGenisys''.
** In ''Film/IronMan2'', director Creator/JonFavreau is called "the poor man's Creator/JossWhedon".

--->'''Narrator:''' Oh, who are we kidding? This movie is fucking awesome...
** There is one for the original ''Film/RoboCop1987'' trailer; it ''is'' bleeped out, but you can still clearly hear it.
--->'''Narrator:''' Rated 'R' for [=RoboCop=]. [[TakeThat Because that's how you make a f*cking RoboCop movie!]]
* PreviewsPulse: Pointed out in the trailers for ''Film/{{Inception}}'' and ''Film/WorldWarZ'', and imitated in the teaser for ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice''.
* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: [[invoked]]

** The ''Ghostbusters II'' Honest Trailer also draws attention to the two terrible ''Ghostbusters'' video games made after the first movie.
* 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 Josh Gad and Creator/PeterDinklage:
-->'''Narrator:''' Not cool, man! Suck all you want, but don't drag [[Series/GameOfThrones Tyrion]] down with you!
* ProductPlacement: ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' set records for ProductPlacement in real life. So for the Honest Trailer, instead of announcing the actual stars, the narrator announces these stars:
-->'''Narrator:''' Starring: Burger King, Panasonic, eBay, Cadillac, GMC, Music/TheStrokes, Pepto-Bismol, {{Xbox}}, ''Furbies?!'' Pontiac, Mountain Dew, Chevrolet, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Chevrolet]], [[AndStarring and introducing]], [[RuleOfThree Chevrolet]]."
** And the last ''Twilight'' movie is so bloated that the narrator says it contains the equivalent of five Volvo commercials.
** TheStinger for ''World War Z'''s trailer parodies the film's use of this.
--->'''Narrator:''' Man, all the reshoots must have cost a fortune. How'd they afford to pay for that? (''scene of Brad Pitt drinking a Pepsi'') Man, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint that really makes me want a Coke]].
* ProtagonistJourneyToVillain: In ''Series/BreakingBad'', "[Walter White will] cook crystal meth [[JustifiedCriminal to pay for his expensive cancer treatment]], [[OnlyInItForTheMoney then to save money for his family]], [[ForTheEvulz and then just because]]...."

* RaceLift:
** In ''Skyfall'', there's disbelief at the fact that Ms. Moneypenny's black. Credited as "Miss Moneypenny's black?!"
** The "race bending" of ''The Last Airbender'' is "advertised".
--->'''Narrator:''' Watch as the ethnically diverse heroes you know and love are brought to life as generic white kids, and the ethnically diverse villains... stay ethnically diverse.
** Lawrence Fishburne as Perry White in ''Film/ManOfSteel'' is credited as "Perry Black".
** Discussed in the ''Film/{{Batman}}'' trailer, where the narrator checks the "Cast a black guy to play a white guy" box for the "Break the Internet bingo" he's playing.
* RageQuit: The narrator finds ''Film/AfterEarth'' far too dumb, gives up, and drives off in a huff just before the cast reading.
* RantInducingSlight: The narrator will at times get really angry, such as in a diatribe over meter maids given it's what ''Zootopia'' protagonist Judy Hopps starts as.
* RealTrailerFakeMovie: For AprilFoolsDay in 2015, there was an Honest Game Trailer for ''[[{{Vaporware}} Half-Life 3]]''. The trailer pretty much consists of calling it the greatest human experience ever made.

--> (Edward dives into a bale of hay) "Surely this small amount of hay will cushion the impact--*CRACK* OH GOD, MY BONES!"
** ''Honest Action'' explains how some movie injuries would be a lot more severe in real life, by describing how many lives one needs to survive all of them.
* RecurringElement:
** Each of the ''Film/MissionImpossible'' films involves a rogue IMF agent and an arms dealer.
** The Honest Trailer for the ''Film/{{Watchmen}}'' movie points out several things that director Creator/ZackSnyder later carried over into his films in the Film/DCExtendedUniverse, ''Film/ManOfSteel'' and ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', such as huge amounts of rain, graphic violence, Jesus allegories, apocalyptic dream sequences and [[spoiler:a scene where two characters who don't like each other discover that they have the same name (comparing it to the infamous "Martha" scene in ''[=BvS=]'')]].
* RecycledInSpace: The Honest Game Trailer for ''VideoGame/Starcraft2'' names it "''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'' IN SPACE!", referring to how the gameplay in the games are essentially the same.
* RecycledScript: [[invoked]]

##''Film/SpiderMan1'', where Peter Parker struggles with his powers, breaks up with Mary Jane, and fights with a villain that ultimately kills himself;

##''Film/SpiderMan3'', where Peter Parker struggles with his powers, breaks up with Mary Jane, and fights with a villain that ultimately kills himself. "[[LampshadedTrope Wait, did they just make the same movie]] [[RuleOfThree 3 times in a row?]]."

## ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII'': where they travel to the past, beat up the bully, fix the future, and leave open the possibility for a sequel.
--->'''Biff Tannen:''' There's something very familiar about all this...
** ''Skyfall'''s trailer lampoons how the hard drive Bond is after contains the identity of all NATO agents, which is ripped off from ''Film/MissionImpossible'' and how the ending is a rip off of ''Film/HomeAlone''.
** Jon Bailey actually interrupts his reading of both ''Divergent'' Honest Trailers finding the movie identical to other dystopias (''The Hunger Games'' for the original, ''Film/{{The Maze Runner|2014}}'' for ''Insurgent'').
** ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare''[='=]s storyline is called as such.
--->'''Narrator:''' Pick up all three of the best-selling shooters that are all the same, full of rehashed moments like: slow-motion door breaches; the level where you control a giant gun; [[ControllableHelplessness that part where you look around and wait to die]]; the unnecessary controversial moment; and, the climatic ending where you're seriously injured and the main bad guy is about to kill you... but then he gets distracted by something which gives you enough time to kill him first.
** The first four ''Film/MissionImpossible'' movies, involving a rogue IMF agent and an arms dealer.
** The video for ''Film/AntMan'' points out the plot's similarities to the first ''Film/IronMan1'' movie, such as a brilliant tech industrialist being betrayed by a bald former ally and a supporting character looking at the suit they'll wear in the sequel.
** Relentlessly parodied in ''Film/SupermanReturns'', where all of the homages to the Donner films are said to just be kind of pointless and dull, especially when combined with weepy dramatic subplots and very unsubtle Jesus imagery; at one point, all of the dialogue directly lifted from the first film is just played side-to-side with the original.
--->'''Narrator:''' Christopher Reeve ''IS'' Superman... and Brandon Routh is doing a pretty good impression of him.\\
'''Narrator:''' Kevin Spacey stars as Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor!
** The Honest Game Trailer for ''VideoGame/StarFoxZero'' mocks the game for how much it copied from ''VideoGame/StarFox64'', such as the story, levels, bosses and enemies.
** ''Ghostbusters II'', which gets a side by side comparison to the first movie, pointing out how the plot is identical to the first film.
--->'''Narrator:''' ''[annoyed]'' It's exactly the same as the first movie! But bad!
** The Honest Trailer for ''[[Film/TheBourneSeries The Bourne Trilogy]]'' (''[[Film/TheBourneIdentity Identity]]'', ''[[Film/TheBourneSupremacy Supremacy]]'', and ''[[Film/TheBourneUltimatum Ultimatum]]'') points out how all three movies have Bourne try to find out something about his identity, is in a cool car chase, runs from a control room full of people on computers and discovers that the corrupt agent chasing him [[spoiler:was just [[TheDragon a puppet]] [[TheManBehindTheMan for someone else]]]].
--->'''Narrator:''' Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
* RelationshipSue: [[invoked]] Creator/RyanGosling in ''Film/TheNotebook'' is credited as "Perfection".
* ReplacementScrappy: [[invoked]] [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIITheSecretOfTheOoze Tokka and Rahzar]] (who are {{Suspiciously Similar Substitute}}s for [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 Bebop and Rocksteady]]) are referred to as, "two lame-ass ripoffs that no-one ever '''asked for!'''"
* {{Retraux}}: The ''Film/SupermanIVTheQuestForPeace'' and ''Film/TopGun'' trailers are filtered to make it look like they were ripped from an old video tape.
* RevenueEnhancingDevices:
** A big point in the Honest Trailer for ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', the very first Honest Trailer, is that the movie was being re-released in 3D.
** ''Film/{{Titanic|1997}}'' 3D. "3D so real, you can actually ''feel'' Creator/JamesCameron stealing money from your pocket."
** As the introduction of ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare'' points out
---> '''Narrator:''' Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Special Edition [Total Cost: $180]. Plus {{DLC}} [Total Cost: $280].
* RoleAssociation: [[invoked]]
** Twice this is used in a ShapedLikeItself manner. The ''Film/JurassicPark'' trailer credits Creator/SamNeill as "The guy from Jurassic Park" and ''Film/HomeAlone'' has John Heard credited as "The dad from ''Home Alone''".
** ''Film/HarryPotter and the Goblet of Fire'' was "[[TheOneWith The one with]] [[Creator/RobertPattinson Shovelface]]".
** In ''Iron Man 2'', they take a very long time trying to figure out who Justin Hammer is played by, eventually remembering that it's [[spoiler:Creator/SamRockwell]].
--->'''Narrator:''' Oh, that guy from, um, uh... he was in that one movie... Sam... Elliot? No, uh... man, it's bugging me... [[spoiler:Sam Rockwell!]] It's [[spoiler:Sam Rockwell!]] That's the guy. I loved him in [[spoiler:''Film/GalaxyQuest''!]]
** ''Film/StarTrek'' asked important questions like "Oh, Creator/WinonaRyder's still working?"
** In ''Film/ThreeHundred'', the narrator is surprised to see that it stars [[Creator/LenaHeadey Cersei]] [[Series/GameOfThrones Lannister]], [[Series/TheWire McNulty]] and Creator/MichaelFassbender.
** By the truckload in the ''Series/{{Entourage}}'' trailer, which points out the show's celebrity cameos.
* RootingForTheEmpire: Invoked by the narrator when he has this reaction to watching [[StuffBlowingUp the exploding warships]] in ''Film/PearlHarbor'', getting so excited by the action... that he forgets he's cheering on the Japanese bombers blowing up fellow Americans.
-->'''Narrator:''' Dammit Creator/MichaelBay, why'd you make that look so cool?
* RuleOfCool: In ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', they point out their disbelief at how the ComicBook/IncredibleHulk could suddenly and inexplicably control his rage, "which doesn't matter, because that shot was ''awesome''."
* RunningGag:
** "[[Literature/{{Twilight}} STARES]]." Also made into an OverlyLongGag set to very EPIC music. Done for X-Men and Godzilla, too!
** "...[[DistractedByTheSexy Bewbs!]]" / "...[[EatingTheEyeCandy Abs!]]" / "...[[NakedPeopleAreFunny Tush!]]" / "...And [[CensorBox pixellated]] Bahls!"
** Shots of characters looking strained from a test of strength will be dubbed: "(Character) pooping."
** Any trailer involving an animated movie will have silly dubs of the songs, with the obligatory love song changed to a song about "porking."
** The constant Bonnie jumpscares in the VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys video. As well as at the end, the narrator is relieved that at least there are no sequels, only for the sequel title to appear. At the end of the Honest Game Trailer for ''Five Nights At Freddy's 2'', the exact same joke is done only to reveal ''Five Nights At Freddys 3''.
** The ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' trailers will at least have one Pokemon being called "[[Music/AliciaKeys This (Creature) is on Fire!]]"
** "And leave a comment with a word you'd like to hear me say in my awesome voice."
** "What a coincidence!" In the ''WebVideo/CinemaSins'' crossover video "Everything Wrong with ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2''", everytime characters meet up or something happens conveniently to the plot.
