Bad Trip is a 2021 Buddy Picture comedy film heavily influenced by Dumb and Dumber and Borat, directed by Kitao Sakurai and starring Eric André, Lil Rel Howery, Tiffany Haddish, and Michaela Conlin.In pursuit of his high school crush Maria (Conlin), Chris (Andre) takes his best friend Bud (Howery) on a road trip from their small Florida town to New York City in Bud's felon sister Trina (Haddish)'s car. However, Trina has just escaped from jail and pursues them all the way in revenge for taking her car.In addition to the plot, the film is also a hidden camera show, with extras being unaware that they were shooting for a film and finding out afterwards.

Candid Camera Prank: The movie is full of these, but unlike in Borat, the unsuspecting movie extras aren't the butt of the jokes, and most of them thought it was Actually Pretty Funny when they found out what was going on.

Butt-Monkey: Chris and Bud; Chris undergoes several physical traumas throughout the movie, including cutting up his hand in a blender, falling on a decorative hut while drunk and vomiting everywhere, getting raped by a gorilla, and being dangled from a building by his shirt; this is mostly because he keeps doing impulsive and stupid shit. Bud is bullied by his thuggish sister, Trina, and keeps getting dragged into Chris’ bullshit because he’s too weak-willed to stand up for himself, at least until the near end of movie, where he calls out both of them.

Time Skip: The opening is set one year before the events of the movie. In it, Chris tries to talk to Maria who happened to stop by at the auto detailing place where he worked, only to miss his chance due to an accident with a vacuum cleaner stripping him naked, forcing him to hide. The prologue also reveals how Trina got arrested, which is because she robbed Bud’s workplace and took off her house arrest tracker.

Covers Always Lie: One of the posters depicts Chris and Bud (in their work uniforms) sitting on top of a crashed Bad Bitch on fire in the middle of a country side happily eating ice cream. In the actual film, they crash in a street near Baltimore, bitterly break off their friendship, and only get ice cream after they reconciled and get to New York. Plus, they’re wearing their normal clothes throughout the trip.

From Bad to Worse: When Chris finally meets Maria in New York, he professes his love for her only for her to reject him, since she barely knows him aside from limited interactions in high school. Then, she ends wanting nothing to do with him after his trip to meet her accidentally leads to Trina destroying her art gallery when she tries to kill Chris.
