Honest Trailers Season 1 Episode 164 Honest Trailers - The Emmys
- August 9, 2016
Honest Trailers is a web series that has garnered a significant fan following for its witty and satirical takes on some of the most popular movies and TV shows. In season 1, episode 164, the Honest Trailers team takes on the biggest night in television - The Emmys.
The video kicks off with the trademark Honest Trailers voiceover setting the stage - "From the network that loves award shows but hates any show that doesn't get enough awards, comes the biggest circle jerk in the industry - The Emmys". The video then dives into the absurdity of the award show, with a montage of over-the-top acceptance speeches, awkward celebrity encounters, and cringe-worthy moments from previous years.
The Honest Trailers team also takes aim at the oft-criticized lack of diversity in the nominations, highlighting the fact that a majority of the nominees and winners tend to be white men. They go on to point out the irony of a show that prides itself on celebrating diversity, being accused of being exclusionary.
But it's not all criticism - the Honest Trailers team also pokes fun at some of the more ridiculous categories at the Emmys, such as Best Stunt Coordination or Best Title Design. They also give shoutouts to some of their favorite shows that have been egregiously snubbed by the Emmys over the years, including The Wire, The Leftovers, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Throughout the video, the Honest Trailers team also employs their signature brand of humor, delivering one-liners and quips that will leave viewers chuckling. The editing is top-notch, with clever transitions and visual gags that complement the voiceover perfectly.
All in all, Honest Trailers - The Emmys is a hilarious and incisive take on one of television's most high-profile events. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the award show or someone who thinks it's all a bunch of meaningless pomp and circumstance, this episode is sure to make you laugh.
