Line 26:
** It subverts the trope when one of the crazy trailers is, of course, an entirely accurate preview for the upcoming episode.
*** Then it subverts it ''again'' when Etna [[Sarcasm Failure|gives an]] ''[[Sarcasm Failure|entirely serious]]'' [[Sarcasm Failure|description of the final episode...]] And the entire cast starts panicking about how this is some sort of [[Cue the Flying Pigs|harbinger of the apocalypse.]]
*** To understand how over the top the trailers could get, Etna announce in one that the [[Everything Is's Better Withwith Penguins|Prinnies]] will [[Fusion Dance|fuse]] to transform into [[Humongous Mecha|Pringer X]]. Not only that but they go as far as showing you in game screenshot of your characters fighting and being attacked by Pringer X, the damage counter being shown as well. You could be easily forgiven if afterward [[Like You Would Really Do It|you didn't believed the serious trailers afterward]].
** This tradition was resurrected for ''Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice'', with a different character voicing each 'Next Episode' spoof, each of which was declared to be the 'Final Episode' of the imaginary series. And, true to the tradition, the ACTUAL Final Chapter had a completely honest trailer, right down to being declared as the Final Episode...
** Continued in ''[[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten]]'', with each segment (Save for the last one) having little to do with the next chapter, and always involving Valvatorez's sardine obsession in some form or fashion.
