List of Honest Trailers episodes
This is a list of Honest Trailers episodes which have been published on YouTube by Screen Junkies. The series, created in 2012, consists of parodic movie trailers. It has been viewed more than 300 million times.[1]
Created by Andy Signore and Brett Weiner, Honest Trailers debuted in February 2012 and by June 2014 had become the source of over 300 million views on the Screen Junkies YouTube channel.[1] The series started when the creators learned that Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace would be re-released in 3D and decided to make a parody trailer for it, continuing the series as a result of the positive reception the videos received.[2] In 2014, a sister series of Honest Game Trailers began to be published on Smosh, with Jon Bailey serving as narrator for both series.
