Line 274:
* The poster for ''[[Airheads]]'' reveals that {{spoiler|Chazz, Rex, and Pip are ultimately arrested and sent to prison}}.
* The advertisings for [[The Film of the Book]] of ''[[Prisoners of Power|Inhabited Island]]'' by the [[Strugatsky Brothers]] spoils ''every'' major plot point. One trailer even reveals that {{spoiler|[[The Hero]] and the [[Big Bad]] turns out to be on the same side}}, what was supposed to be a [[Twist Ending]].
* The trailer for the [[
** You thought ''that'' was bad? Just wait until you see the theatrical trailer for Part 2! It shows two of the most important parts of the battle of Hogwarts. {{spoiler|The first, though only a flash, is Ron visibly cradling Fred's dead body. The second Lupin and Tonks hold hands before what is most likely their death, and the third is Molly and Bellatrix fighting.}} Might as well spoil the fact that {{spoiler|Snape loved Lily}}.

** The blurbs on the omnibus editions of [[Lois McMaster Bujold]]'s [[Miles Vorkosigan]] books are particularly bad, although the task is made harder by the blurb needing to be for at least two books at once.
** Many editions of ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'' mention in the blurb that {{spoiler|Edward's a vampire}}, thereby robbing the first ''two hundred'' pages of any sense of mystery. Of course, if this hadn't been spoiled it would have been a pretty bad case of {{spoiler|[[Genre Shift]] with a mystery romance novel suddenly including vampires. Imagine how that felt to the eight people in the world who didn't know about this beforehand.}}
** This, however, was [[Subverted Trope]] by the cover text for ''[[
*** The text on the inside front of the hardback edition's dust jacket is somewhat longer, but still amounts to that.
*** This troper wasn't so lucky. The inside cover of his cover mentioned that Harry was on a quest to find {{spoiler|Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes}}, spoiling a plot point ''the entire 6th book was leading up towards.''
