{{quote|''"This sucks on so many levels." -- Dialogue from ''[[JasonFriday Xthe 13th (film)]]''. Rare for a movie to so frankly describe itself.''|'''[[Roger Ebert]]'''}}

This is sort of an inversion of [[Quotes Fit for Aa Trailer]], when the work's creators or publicizers use a work's own lines to ''promote'' it. Of course, reviewers can do this trope "positively" and creators can do that one "negatively", but such instances are rare (especially the latter for [[Polish the Turd|a certain reason]]).

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20121111051452/http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment_movies_blog/2010/08/movie-review-vampires-suck.html This review] of ''[[Vampires Suck (Film)|Vampires Suck]]'' mentions that the title is "too apt".

* [http://www.totalfilm.com/reviews/cinema/disaster-movie This review] of ''[[DisasterSeltzer Movieand (Film)Friedberg|Disaster Movie]]''. "Contender for most apt movie title ever".

* [[That Guy With theThe Glasses|Luke Mochrie]] took the "random events" line from the trailer of ''[[Devil]]'' and said that it describes the film as a whole perfectly; everything that happens in the plot is random.

{{quote| "''Oooh, ahhh.'' That's how it always starts. Then later there's the ''running'' and the ''screaming''."}}

* [[That Guy With theThe Glasses|Doug Walker's]] ''Five Second Movies'' do something similar, such as summarising ''[[The Matrix]]'' with Neo's "Woah."

** Much fun was had by the [[That Guy With theThe Glasses]] [[Hatedom]] with [[Phelous]]'s line "This is gonna suck" in the ''[[Suburban Knights]]'' trailer.

* If we consider ''[[The Wizard (Filmfilm)|The Wizard]]'' as an ad for Nintendo products, [[The Angry Video Game Nerd (Web Video)|The Angry Video Game Nerd]]'s review of the Power Glove counts.

{{quote| "It's so bad."}}

* The [[Time Magazine]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130825204954/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1083942,00.html review] of ''[[Harry Potter and Thethe Half-Blood Prince (novel)|Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince]]'' noted the book's parallels to the series' [[Harry Potter and Thethe Chamber of Secrets (novel)|second installment]] and quotes the character Hagrid saying "Chamber o' Secrets all over again, isn't it?"

* The ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]] Discontinuity Guide'' has a bit of fun when characters say things like "[[Doctor Who (TV)/Recap/S9 E2/E02 The Curse of Peladon|There is no plot!]]", "[[Doctor Who (TV)/Recap/S16 E2/E02 The Pirate Planet|We must act!]]" and "[[Doctor Who (TV)/Recap/S21 E4/E04 Resurrection of the Daleks|I can't stand the confusion in my mind!]]"

{{quote| '''Co-Host 3000''': I will give the movie credit though: You are given a fair warning at the very beginning, where you see one of the fucking err... fugly Olsen twin-<br />

'''Leon''': Olsen twin?<br />

'''Co-Host 3000''': -addresses the screen and addresses the audiences by tell[ing] them "Get ready to embrace the suck"<br />

''[Spill crew's laughter]''<br />

'''Co-Host 3000''': Wow, you really embrace it.<br />

'''Leon''': That-that is ballsy for a movie to ''look'' you in the eyes and tell you "Embrace the suck"<br />

'''Korey''': By the way, none of us embrace this, okay? It was forced upon us.<br />

** [[The Cabin in The Woods (Film)|The Cabin in Thethe Woods]] review: "It gave me a cabin in the ''[[Incredibly Lame Pun|wood]]''" - guest reviewer Brian Salisbury.

{{quote| '''Co-Host 3000''': Have we-Have we mentioned the title of this movie?<br />

'''Korey''': A Thousand Words.<br />

'''Co-Host 3000''': No, no. Actually, it's A Thousand Deaths Of [[Eddie Murphy]].<br />

''[Korey's laughter]''<br />

'''Co-Host 3000''': 'Cause every goddamn frame is literally killing Eddie Murphy's career.<br />

* Holy Moly's [http://www.holymoly.com/reviews/cinema-dvd/film-review-just-go-it52943 review] of ''[[Just Go Withwith It]]'' is an subversion. Just read the title.

* Scott Foy's [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20101226092216/http://foywonder.com/current_columns/foy_1207.html review] of ''Lake Dead'':

{{quote| '''Foy''': Just how bad is ''Lake Dead''? There's a scene about an hour in when one of the girls in the movie freaks out over their situation and starts yelling, "This is so bad! This is awful!" Sitting in the theater I felt like that scene in ''[[The Terminator]]'' when the building super knocks on the door to ask The Terminator if everything is okay in there and multiple response choices began scrolling across the machine's field of sight. In this case, my options were: "No kidding!","You're telling me?","Ain't that the truth!","Tell me something I don't know!","Preach on, sister!","Oh, so it's a self-reviewing movie?" The one the Terminator selected, "Fuck you, asshole!" might have fit here as well, if only out of sheer spite.}}

{{quote| Frayn, apparently watching this movie, yells out, "A bore!" He then repeats, "How pointless!" a couple of times as he falls out of the mouth to his death. So, I guess he knows how the movie will end.}}
