Line 12:
** Yet another spoofed the first teaser for ''[[The Da Vinci Code]]'', with Homer's face in place of the Mona Lisa.
** One trailer does it a bit differently by not being based on any particular movie:
{{quote|''(Fully CGI sequence of a bunny [[Tastes Like Diabetes|dancing with flowers to the]] "[[Public Domain Soundtrack|Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy]]".)''
'''Narrator:''' [[In a World|In a time]] when computer animation brings us [[Visual Effects of Awesome|worlds of unsurpassed beauty]], one film dares to be ugly.
''(Moe abruptly comes down in the movie's logo, knocking out the bunny.)''
'''Moe:''' ''The Simpsons Movie''... [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|in 2D!]] ''(looks down)'' Uh... The bunny's not breathing. }}
* The trailer for ''[[Chicken Little]]'' opened with the exact same sequence used in the teaser trailer for ''[[The
* The trailer for ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]] [[The Movie|Colon Movie Film for Theatres]]'' went so far to identify itself as ''[[Spider-Man (film)|Spider-Man]] 2'' in the text crawl while the narrator reads the correct name.
* Nearly every trailer for the first ''[[Lilo and Stitch]]'' appeared to be a trailer for some other Disney movie at first, only to be interrupted by Stitch, partly to make it clear it was a lighter, wackier film than the company's usual output.
Line 23:
== [[Film]]: Live Action ==
* A trailer for the ''[[Scooby Doo]]'' [[Live Action Adaptation]] pretended to be for a ''[[Batman]]''
* ''[[Austin Powers]]'':
** The second movie came out the same year as ''[[Star Wars|The Phantom Menace]]'' and had a trailer that started by going through the Death Star with Darth Vader breathing in the background while closing in on a chair... until the [[Chair Reveal]] has Dr. Evil sitting in it. After that, the trailer goes in more typical Austin Powers style, including the narrator saying "If you see one movie this summer... see ''Star Wars''. But if you see two, then see ''Austin Powers: The Spy That Shagged Me!''" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65LjJMqHkoc Youtube link]
** A trailer for ''Austin Powers in Goldmember'' began in a manner similar to the opening credits of ''[[Goldfinger]]''. Which in turn led MGM to sue New Line for copyright infringement. The suit was settled and in exchange, the trailer to ''[[Die Another Day]]'' was attached to all prints of ''Goldmember''.
* The trailer for ''[[Notting Hill]]'' tried the same device against ''Austin Powers''. It didn't quite work.
* The trailer for ''[[Dumb and Dumber
* A TV spot for ''[[Saving Silverman]]'' used the same typeface as ''[[Hannibal]]'s ads to spell out "Get rid of the fava beans. Hide the Chianti. He's coming" before cutting to Jack Black's "Beer bong for the lady?".
* One ''[[Star Wars]]: [[Attack of the Clones|Episode II]]''
* Trailers for ''[[Garfield]]: The Movie'' and ''[[Stuart Little]] 2'' imitated moments from the first ''[[Spider-Man (film)|Spider-Man]]'' movie.
* A teaser trailer had a dark [[Tarzan]]-like feel...until near the end.

* A trailer for the [[Live Action Adaptation|live-action]] ''[[Thunderbirds]]'' movie baited audiences with the idea of a ''[[
* Citizens kept yelling "It's a bird!", "It's a plane!", but Bullwinkle said it looked like a flying squirrel in the ''[[Superman]]''-themed teaser trailer for the ''[[Rocky and Bullwinkle]]'' movie. Similarly, one of the trailers had the tag line "You will believe a squirrel can fly!"
* A teaser trailer for [[Ali G Indahouse]] pretended to be for the biopic [[Muhammad Ali|Ali]].
