Let's say at some point in a show, a character said "What a great deal!" Or midway through a film, the Plucky Comic Relief exclaimed "Wowza! I'm in awe." Well, the producers and editors responsible for promotion have noticed that moments like these can be used in a trailer in a way that Breaks The Fourth Wall. A comment about the value of the Mineral MacGuffin can be repurposed to plug The Complete First Season; a cry along the lines of "The World Is Just Awesome" can, in a promotional context, sound like "The Box Set Of The Trilogy Is Just Awesome". This may combine with a "Say My Name" Trailer. And like a "Say My Name" Trailer, this is rarely done only once in an advertisement - expect to hear the narrator say something, followed by a character's "reaction", followed by the narrator saying something else, etc. This is distinct from trailers with wholly original material that includes the characters explicitly telling you to buy the DVD or go to the theater. This trope is about the editors finding clips which were originally filmed as part of a show... but also seem to kinda work for selling the show. A variant/inversion is the Review Ironic Echo, in which the out-of-context, now-itself-referential quoting is done by a reviewer. |

Advertisements for Adventure Time's DVD releases have used this trope frequently. One particular instance is a moment in the commercial for the It Came From the Nightosphere DVD where a clip of Finn exclaiming "Mathematical!" from "Slumber Party Panic" is made to punctuate it having 16 creator-chosen episodes; funnily enough, while coming from the era of the show in which Finn often used math-related terms as general exclamations, the original context of the clip actually did involve math. | |

A 1988 trailer for Who Framed Roger Rabbit had the narrator announcing that a new cartoon character was about to appear on the scene. This is then followed by R.K. Maroon dismissively saying "It's just Dumbo!", which is then followed by the narrator going: "No, it's Roger." | |

The commercials for the 1995 re-release of Pulp Fiction make it a point to emphasize all the Oscars it was nominated for; when it proclaims it's nominated for Best Picture of the Year, cut to Vincent saying "That's a bold statement", then Jules saying "Aw, man, that's it, I'm going". | |

Played with by one BBC trailer, when the evening's scheduled programmes included an episode of Open All Hours and a showing of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. From the former, it took footage of Arkwright's beaten-up wreck of a van, and married it with Sulu's awed "She's supposed to be fitted with transwarp drive". | |

Star Trek In one of his Star Trek Nitpicker's Guides, Phil Farrand described his delight when, after the local channel on which he watched Star Trek had acquired Next Generation, they ran a promotional spot for the newer show that unexpectedly ended with the following stinger (from "Plato's Stepchildren"): The same gag was used in the commercial for the franchise on VHS, which used a lot of repurposed clips (including following a montage of Kirk and Girls of the Week with Spock saying "I've never seen him look so happy" — a line from "Journey to Babel" where he's talking about McCoy). |

A scene from the first Transformers movie has Sam say the line "I'd like you to meet my good friend... Optimus Prime," before panning to Optimus transforming from his truck mode to robot mode. The scene was in the movie, but, as Optimus had already been introduced to the audience by that point, it seems the scene exists mostly to introduce him in a suitably dramatic fashion in a promotional clip (where it was used frequently). | |

A 2010 Pull-Ups commercial tying in with the theatrical release of Toy Story 3 used two scenes from that film - the "This is no time to be hysterical" scene, and the Sunnyside toys cheering when Andy's toys arrive at the daycare - to accentuate a real boy saying he has to use the bathroom and saying "I did it!" after he does use the bathroom, respectively. | |

Doctor Who: The "Next Time" trailer for "Forest of the Dead" featured several quotes arranged in a fashion practically designed to taunt the audience: The trailer for the second half of series 6 featured a voiceover of Madame Kovarian describing the Impossible Astronaut killing the Doctor ... followed by the Doctor turning to the camera and saying "Haven't you figured that one out yet?" This is a scene from "Let's Kill Hitler", and he's talking to Amy about how River finds him. The trailer for the sixtieth anniversary specials ends with Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor, who has just been revealed to not be the Fourteenth, but the Fifteenth after David Tennant again, demanding "Could someone tell me what the hell is going on here?" |

There used to be a Polish TV channel Minimax, which showed a lot of shows aimed at children and teenagers, and regularly has trailer-like teasers for its own programs in between ad breaks. These always ended with a line from somewhere in the show repurposed like this; for instance, the one for Doug ended with a line "Very funny" grabbed out of one of the episodes. | |
