Top Ten Best… Everything!

If you haven’t checked out YouTube’s collection of Movie Trailer Spoofs, you are missing out, my friend! Have you ever gone to see a movie after watching the trailer, only to realize after the movie is over that it was nothing like what you expected? Well, a bunch of talented folks have taken that concept one step further and created some of the most hilarious movie trailer recuts on YouTube. Just in case you don’t know what a trailer spoof is, allow me to explain. Ya know those movie previews you see before the movie starts? They usually have music and cuts to match the theme of the film, right? Well, with these spoofs, the creative individuals who have put them together have taken different music (for instance slasher movie soundtrack for a children’s movie) and cut the movie up to create a whole new trailer with an entirely different meaning. It’s amazing what an editing job and some new music can do to recreate how a movie appears!

Here are 10 of the best YouTube trailer spoofs, let me know which one you enjoy the most:
