Line 24:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3ckFAdY3s4 Scarlet] looked like ads for a slick, spy-fi [[Spiritual Successor]] to ''Alias.'' It ''was'' an ad for a TV series, as in a series of TV's made by LG. Note a lot of the dialogue, such as "Putting her in every home on the planet," and saying "She's gonna change TV."
* Geico made a trailer for a fake reality show titled ''Tiny House'', about a couple living in a house that was built too small.
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jsaq1XTsrxY Son of Dundee], a 2018 [[Super Bowl Special]] ad, appears to be a trailer for a sequel to ''[[Crocodile Dundee]]''... until they get to the point where they admit that it's actually an ad for Australian tourism.

* ''Elf Princess Rane'' is a two-episode OAV that ends with trailers for the completely nonexistent third and fourth episodes.
** A similar fate had befallen a number of short OAV series, especially during the 80s and 90s: The material produced was intended to be a pilot for a longer work, but the series was canned before it ever got off the ground. While not all of them necessarily had trailers produced advertising the dead-in-the-water series, see also the "in the next episode" bit advertising "Knight of Lemon" at the end of [[NG Knight Lamune & 40|"Knights of Ramune"]] (which is promptly followed by a note that the series had been cancelled).
Line 40:
* Subverted with [[Gintama]], with the trailer for the Benizakura arc movie. It first shows up in the third season, when the characters admit that the trailer is fake. During the next season, the trailer is played again and the characters say it is actually coming out. Played straight with the second trailer, where the trailer is played and Gin follows up by telling us it is all a lie.

* This [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hTiRnqnvDs fanmade trailer] for ''[[Green Lantern]]''.
* It's really more of a case of "Real Movie, Fake Trailer" but there's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfiU-Q0YerE this] trailer for ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the Movie]]...''
Line 51:
** There was also at least one trailer for a ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjbIUHBz1LY movie].
** Then there's the ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3q5o55BJYw Star Trek: Emergency]'' opening, which is what ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'' would probably be like from the Doctor's point of view.
* [
Line 74:
* The movie ''Movie Movie'' had, in between its two main segments, a trailer for a fictitious [[World War II]] air battle movie called ''Zero Hour''.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3NwB9PLxss Movie: The Movie] from [[Jimmy Kimmel]] is a massive [[Genre Busting]] fake trailer starring a serious number of A-list Hollywood talent.
Line 96 ⟶ 95:
** For 2011, they did a [[Harry Potter]] [http://www.ign.com/videos/2011/04/01/harry-potter-the-aurors-tv-show-trailer TV show].
** For 2012, they did a [[Mass Effect]] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOqHUa2LfNY cartoon].
* The ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Nznm3R66ds Battle] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDbZtu7Kls0&feature=related Fantasia]'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCOo3fC5k3M&feature=related series], a set of trailers for a conceptual game franchise that's basically [[Super Robot Wars]], only instead of a [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]] of [[Humongous Mecha]], it's a [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]] of cute girls from [[Moe]] and series such as ''[[Fate/stay night]]'', ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'', ''[[Mariasama ga Miteru]]'', ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', ''[[Shakugan no Shana]]'', ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'', ''[[Pretty Cure]]'', and ''[[
** And since ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' -is- ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' with cute girls, it got its own [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yONDMeMv0HA trailer for a nonexistent game].
* The ''[[Tsukihime]]'' spin-off Kagetsu Tohya included a preview for ''Tsukihime 2''. No ''Tsukihime 2'' exists or will likely ever exist.
Line 113 ⟶ 112:
* ''[[Homestar Runner]]'' has done this a few times, most famously making a fake trailer for a movie based on their game ''[[Peasant's Quest]]''. According to their website, there already is a full-length ''Peasant's Quest'' movie: "its 'full length' is three minutes" (the length of the trailer).
** See also the SBEmail "Narration", where Strong Bad narrates the lives of the residents of Free Country, USA as though they were movie trailers: Homestar and Marzipan are a couple torn apart by a novelty chef's hat, an argument between Coach Z and Bubs over napkins apparently [[Serious Business|leads to the fall of an empire]], and Strong Sad gets a dead goose thrown at him.
* [[Puffin Forest]]'s ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUazW0xIObw What it's like to give your players an overpowered NPC friendo]'' is a movie trailer called ''Free Melly''.
=== Web Original ===
Line 207 ⟶ 206:
* The movie ''[[Scary Movie]] 2'' has a trailer for ''[[Amistad]] 2'', which some people believe is the funniest part of the whole movie.
* ''[[CSA: Confederate States of America]]'' features, among its mock commercials, ads for fake TV shows, including the ''[[COPS (series)|COPS]]'' parody ''Runaway'' and (presumably syndicated reruns of) ''Leave It to Beulah'' (which uses footage from a real-life show from the '50s).
* The [[Weird Al]] movie ''[[UHF (film)|UHF]]'' had trailers for ''[[Conan the Barbarian|Conan the Librarian]]'' and ''[[Gandhi]] 2''.
Line 215 ⟶ 214:
* ''[[The Daily Show]]'' advertises several fake products on a regular basis, including ''Jon'' magazine and the Daily Show Home Game. In 2003, they started airing joke trailers for a new spinoff called ''The Colbert Réport'' that had "already been cancelled". ''[[The Colbert Report|The Report]]'' premiered in 2005, and has been described as "the only show that [[Defictionalization|started as a promo for itself]]".
* A [[Bill Nye the Science Guy]] episode on the Earth's Crust had a trailer for a kid cop show called "Johnny Crust."
* ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' had one of these where a trailer for ''[[The Wedding Bride]]'' was mentioned on the show and the full trailer was released online [https://web.archive.org/web/20121214015335/http://www.weddingbridemovie.com/ here]. The movie describes {{spoiler|Ted's failed relationship with Stella however from the somewhat skewed mind of her ex-husband Tony. Ted in one episode goes to see this movie more than once and, at one point, acts out something similar to it to is date while he is in the movie theatre.}}
* In the two-hundredth episode of ''[[Stargate SG-1|Stargate SG 1]]'', titled "200," the team is giving advice on the production of ''Wormhole X-Treme!'', a show based on their adventures. The opening to act four, which airs immediately after a commercial break and was intended to be mistaken for another commercial, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2RWM65ZjL4 is a trailer for] ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2RWM65ZjL4 Teal'c, P.I.]''. Bonus points for ''actually getting [[Shaft|Isaac Hayes]]'' to do the narration.
