Dril, ‘Dolittle,’ and ‘Joker’ Parody Oscar the Grouch Were This Weekend’s Fakest Trailers

Last Friday we showed you a bunch of new trailers for upcoming movies and television shows like we always do. But we took for granted just how plausible those trailers all look. In contrast, this weekend gave us a handful of new trailers for projects we can’t possible believe are real.

Take a look!

The only actually fake trailer on this list, Grouch is a Saturday Night Live parody of the recent Joker movie. Only instead of Joaquin Phoenix’s gritty psychological take on the clown who loves crime, David Harbour stars in this gritty reboot of Sesame Street where he plays Oscar the Grouch. In a city full of puppet prostitutes, vampire junkies, and other trash, the only sane choice is to live in a dumpster. Big mood. The production value of this trailer, how closely it apes the actual movie, is really impressive.

the News, as you know it, has died… and from its ashes rises “TRUTHPOINT”

For the opposite of production value, check out Truthpoint. Only the mad bastards at Adult Swim would even dare to give Dril, Twitter’s own internet prophet, his own online show. In this InfoWars parody, Dril (portrayed by someone in a mask) and his co-host Derek Estevez-Olsen scream about sucking poison out of America’s wounds. Some buzzkills have complained about Dril “selling out” with this show, but funny tweets don’t pay rent. Buy his book you bums!

And finally here’s a real movie! In his first major post-Marvel role, Robert Downey Jr. is taking a page from Mark Wahlberg and talking to animals in Dolittle. Set during the Victorian England period of the original books, Downey basically gets to play Sherlock Holmes again only this time he has a bunch of CGI animals voiced by celebrities to bounce off of.

Those celebrities include John Cena, Emma Thompson, Selena Gomez, Kumail Nanjiani, Craig Robinson, Rami Malek, Marion Cotillard, Ralph Fiennes, Octavia Spencer, Carmen Ejogo, and Spider-Man himself Tom Holland as a loyal dog. Great casting. But between the bizarre self-serious tone of this trailer and reports of a deeply troubled production, this earns a spot on our list of fake-ass looking movies. It releases in January so you know it’s good.
