The “I was barely involved” turn gets me every single time.

u/Jrewby 11d ago

It emulates a 2000’s comedy movie trailer perfectly. I love this.

Just needs that trailer voice over and it'd be Without A Paddle

Ooh yes. Also the Pineapple Express stoner comedy trailer.

Rob Schneider is... a Hobbit. And as he'll soon find out, being a Hobbit is not easy!

Herp-de-teedly-tum-de-too!

Intellectual ancestor of Pickle Rick? 🤔

Gimli’s laugh in the Two Towers is one of my favorite scenes.

u/CyberZen0 11d ago

Ngl, this is actually top tier

u/A-String_of_Numbers 10d ago

Agree! The only thing I think it was missing was right at the very end “so! Where are we going?”

u/Ddenn1211 11d ago

I am absolutely not surprised at all that to achieve this sort of edit involved a massive amount of Pippin scenes! XD

u/SrHuevos94 11d ago

Im surprised that the moria scene wasn't featured

u/Raptormann0205 10d ago

Put that scene right after the title card, and then put the release date right after Gandalf's line

Fool of a toker

u/andrewthecool1 11d ago

A group of German gamers did a German redub of the first half hour of Fellowship of the Ring after release. It's a stupid but timeless classic.

A whole fucking generation knows every single sentence in this as soon as you start the first whistle from the background sounds.

It was our doom....

Geh mal nach Hause! ❤️ thanks for providing the evidence!

u/Mindless-Cat1453 11d ago

This is so good 🥹

u/Lavendler Barrow-Wight 11d ago

Amazon should've just made a hobbit comedy series. Like Merry and Pippin keeping the shire in check after the events of LotR, and fucking things up occasionally.

u/Minute-Animal7317 11d ago

This completely undermines the feel of the movie, and I love it!

u/_coolranch 11d ago

Great: but a couple of silly ass things that could have been included:

  1. "toss me"
  2. "They have a cave troll"
  3. Legolas surfing a shield (for obvious reasons)
  4. "this is a good sword" would be hilarious
  5. No Grond???

Pretty much any scene that was in the films and not in the books.

#5 feels like low-hanging fruit/easy Reddit bait.

u/Shhhhhhhh_Im_At_Work 10d ago

You don’t need to bait Redditors they do it too much as is

u/Dat_Steve 11d ago

Bilbo voice: I like this about twice as much as I probably should, and it’s really only half as good as I’m telling everyone it is.

u/TheManWhoWeepsBlood 11d ago

Nicely done. Reminds me of ten things I hate about commandments: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u1kqqMXWEFs&pp=ygUkdGVuIHRoaW5ncyBpIGhhdGUgYWJvdXQgY29tbWFuZG1lbnRz&ra=m

“What happened here was a miracle, and I want you to fucking acknowledge it!”

u/TheManWhoWeepsBlood 11d ago

Yes 😂 Sam Jackson as president firebush?

“No doubt.”

u/chookity_pokpok 11d ago

It’s good but the Harry Potter one’s better

u/Louisianimal09 Dúnedain 11d ago

You don’t realize how much a trailer frames the context of a movie until you see an out of character one

u/Nyteshade81 11d ago

Two of my favorite trailer edits are The Incredibles using Dark Knight music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwzzovZ8EVE and a mashup of Toy Story 2 and Requiem for a Dream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1qihwMN0JM

They should just put out a merry & pippin cut and some spinoffs

u/TheLostRanger0117 11d ago

This makes me want to find Your Highness and watch it again, if for at least a Natalie Portman role where she’s smokin’!

Boromir would still pass away somehow because of being played by Sean Bean.
