Honest Trailers Season 1 Episode 37 Honest Trailers - The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead has become a cultural phenomenon, dividing audiences between fans who are loyal to the show and those who believe it's overrated. Honest Trailers has no qualms about calling out the TV series for its flaws, however, in season 1 episode 37, they do so with humor and grace.

The episode begins on a somber note, acknowledging the tremendous success of The Walking Dead and how it's helped propel the zombie genre into the mainstream. Cue the satirical jabs and witty commentary as the narrator notes how much of the show's drama relies on survivors talking about "how bad it is out there."

One of the biggest criticisms of The Walking Dead is its meandering plotlines, which Honest Trailers lovingly mock. They portray the show's characters as perpetually wandering around aimlessly, always in search of food, shelter or a new set of problems to face. But even as the narrator points out these flaws, it's not done with ill-spirited intent, but rather as a playful tease that fans can enjoy.

The show also calls out The Walking Dead for occasionally falling into predictable patterns, such as killing off characters just when they start to become fan favorites. The narrator wonders if the writers have a dartboard with character names on it, given how random some of these deaths feel. They also poke fun at the show's pacing, accusing it of being both "slow" and "fast" at the same time, an impressive feat to be sure.

Honest Trailers also takes aim at some of the show's more ridiculous moments, such as the season 2 episode where the survivors find a well and spend nearly the entire episode trying to get water out of it. The narrator can't help but laugh as they poke fun at the scene, joking that it's like something out of a slapstick comedy.

The episode ends on a more serious note, however, as Honest Trailers addresses one of the show's most controversial moments. Without spoiling anything, let's just say that The Walking Dead isn't immune to criticism when it comes to how it handles certain characters. Rather than simply making fun of the show for it, though, Honest Trailers acknowledges why this particular moment was so painful for fans to watch.

All in all, Honest Trailers' take on The Walking Dead is a hilarious, yet thoughtful analysis of a show that's become a pop culture icon. While some fans may be defensive about their favorite series being criticized, the episode makes it clear that it's all in good fun. It's a must-watch for anyone who's ever rolled their eyes at a character's nonsensical decision or yelled at the TV during a cliffhanger ending. Whether you're a die-hard fan or someone who's never seen the show, Honest Trailers - The Walking Dead is definitely worth checking out.
