== [[Film]]: Live Action ==
* A trailer for the ''[[Scooby Doo]]'' [[Live Action Adaptation]] pretended to be for a ''[[Batman]]'' movie -- untilmovie—until the silhouette that looked like Batman turned out to be Scooby. Supposedly, a lot of ''Batman'' fans were pissed.
* ''[[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|Dumb and Dumberer]]er'' disguised itself as a trailer for ''[[The Hobbit]]'', leaving every member of the audience sorely pissed.
* 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]]'' commercial--notcommercial—not a trailer, because trailers are [[Serious Business]] to ''[[Star Wars]]'' fans, but a simple TV commercial--seemedcommercial—seemed to start out referring to ''[[Spider-Man (film)|Spider-Man]]'', complete with metallic webbing and the ''[[Spider-Man (film)|Spider-Man]]'' font: "Swing into action with the summer's newest action hero!" It then cut to... Yoda, who cut a pose and did one of his little [[Cool Old Guy]] growls. Then he starts jumping and fighting Count Dooku...
* 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.
