We all know trailers are intended to promote their production. To do this, they will invariably use notable scenes depending on the type of movie. In the case of a comedy, Funny Moments may be selected. When first shown, they probably elicit the desired reaction: The audience will "laugh out loud", as it were. All fine and good, but this trailer is constantly airing and/or streaming, so you're inevitably going to see it more than once, meaning you're going to be seeing that same amusing scene over and over. When it comes to finally seeing the movie/TV show and that rib-tickling scene plays out, you notice that the gag isn't doing it for you. In fact, you may find yourself thinking that it's rather lame — this, ladies and gentlemen, is Trailer Joke Decay. Additionally, it may be due to the unfortunate exposure to a Memetic Mutation of the gag, or it can be a case of both Never Trust a Trailer and Trailers Always Spoil, oddly enough. And God have mercy on the movie that is meant to be at least somewhat funny but has no good jokes beyond those shown in the trailer... Expect that almost every comedy movie will fall victim to this to some extent. It's possible to get around it by using the joke out of context in the trailer so that it's funny on another level when you see it in context, but trailers rarely seem to have that much thought put into them. After time passes and the trailer is no longer widely shown, it's possible that the joke can become funny again to viewers who weren't overly exposed to the previews. As noted, related to Never Trust a Trailer and Trailers Always Spoil (or possibly a subtrope). See also Discredited Meme. |

Finding Dory has two jokes that appear in all ads and trailers for the film: the scene where Hank goes into a sink, turns on the handle and hurts one of his tentacles and Bailey shouting "Holy Neptune!". Later commercials for the film gave away a joke that was an important plot point in the film: Hank squirting squid ink in the touch tank in the kids' zone after a kid touches him, causing the other kids to scream and run away. This one gag played a major role in how Dory was able to get back to the Open Ocean Exhibit, and eventually find her family. | |

The Sherlock Holmes (2009) trailer featured an originally humorous gag from Holmes's first fight with Dredger, where Holmes picks up a small hammer to fight Dredger with a much larger hammer and throws it at Dredger after noticing the disparity, having no effect on him. By the time the gag showed in the theater, nobody in the audience was laughing at it. | |

Inside Out had a ton of jokes that were overplayed in the trailers for the movie: The brainfreeze joke. Fear's "Worst case scenario" joke when Riley is being introduced to the class. The scene of Riley and her family having dinner. Foreign trailers and later commercials for the film overused the scene where Bing Bong misreads "danger" as shortcut. |

The trailers and commercials for Hancock seemed to go out of their way to spoil every single joke in the entire film, long after they'd secured an audience. Of course, by the third major trailer they were also giving away the giant plot twist, so their marketing team obviously has issues. Probably the biggest offender was the whale scene. In the teaser, every actual trailer and a Best Buy advertisement that got a ton of airtime in the US. | |

In Batman Forever, Batman's "I'll get drive-thru," snark at the beginning of the film would be pretty funny if not for the fact that every trailer AND McDonald's tie-in commercial made use of the line, making it simply eye-rolling (and an obvious attempt at Product Placement) by the time anyone actually saw the film. | |

One next episode promo for Neighbours included a gag that everyone found funny only to find it not as funny in the actual episode the next day: Partly through familiarity, partly because the promo seemed to edit it more tightly.

The trailer for Hunt for the Wilderpeople contained many of the film's best jokes, thus ruining them in the actual movie. But most of these jokes only made sense in context, and removing them from the context of the film rendered them nonsensical. So the trailer actually managed to ruin each joke twice. | |

Promos for Eternals repeated Phastos saying “You know what's never saved the planet?

Every TV spot for Kung Fu Panda 3 can't get enough of the lines "Dumpling Squad" and "chit-chat". Kung Fu Panda 4: It was impossible to watch a trailer or TV spot that didn't include the Cute Psycho criminal bunnies, specifically them saying their lines "violence makes our tummies tingle!" or chanting "violence!". The scene of them attacking Po was also heavily advertised. Another heavily advertised joke was the scene where Zhen uses an Anti-Sneeze Finger on Po, only for him to fart. |

Every trailer for The Simpsons Movie made absolutely sure to include the scene with "Spider-pig". In every commercial break, the entire joke played over and over and OVER again, until by the time the actual movie came out it was more of an annoying meme than a joke. It’s also subverted in the sense that the trailer only showed Homer singing “Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig, does whatever a Spider-Pig does.� But then does not show the funny punch line; “Can he swing, from a web? No he can’t. He’s a pig.� This was a very pleasant surprise for the audience. A lot of the trailers also included the "Harry Plopper" Brick Joke in the end, so everyone was already expecting it during the movie. Also, the entire scene with Homer using his wrecking ball. You were basically watching a trailer in the middle of the movie that the trailer was advertising. |

An odd example. The mechanical middle finger joke in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) was censored in the trailer, being censored by an in-universe computer that has a caption that reads "Obscene Gesture Imminent." This was uncensored in the film, and ironically many fans felt the joke was ruined because of it. | |

The BBC boasts it does not carry adverts. This is not entirely true. It does. For itself. Between every programme. And their trailers are very good at spoiling jokes from their comedy series. For example one of the greatest moments from Red Dwarf, the 'Red Alert' gag ("Step up to red alert! Are you absolutely sure sir? It does mean changing the bulb") was trailed endlessly before the original broadcast. A short-lived 90s comedy series called Get Back (featuring a young Kate Winslet and a not-as-young Ray Winstone) had every single funny joke from the first episode included in the trailers. (Then they ran out and included an unfunny one as well.) Similarly, one season opener of 2point4 Children was extensively trailed, so everyone had seen the gag of the parents waking up to find their son sat on their bed watching TV. |

Spider-Man: "You're not Superman, you know." Lampshaded in the film, as Peter Parker chuckles at the joke — probably the way anyone would. In the trailer, the line is followed by Peter's over-serious look from later in the scene. So the trailer version is actually funnier. | |

Early promos for Donkey Hodie kept repeating the scene of Donkey rolling away on a giant lemon (from "A Lot Of Hot!"), the part of the "Sleepover" musical number where Donkey and Panda wear various silly costumes (from "Super Duper Sleepover") and the scene where Donkey gives Duck Duck a donkey ride (from "The Lavender Lights"). It's extremely common for later promos of the show to use clips of the "Friends Care" song, mainly in PBS Kids promos where all their shows are combined. |

There are several jokes from A Haunted House that play in practically every promotional spot. For example: And this: And this: |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: An odd example. The mechanical middle finger joke in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) was censored in the trailer, being censored by an in-universe computer that has a caption that reads "Obscene Gesture Imminent." This was uncensored in the film, and ironically many fans felt the joke was ruined because of it. Nearly every trailer and commercial for Spider-Man: Homecoming features the clip from the scene where Spidey stumbles upon some thieves who are wearing masks of members of the Avengers, leading him to quip, "Hey, wait a minute... you guys aren't the real Avengers!". In the film itself he makes a different joke. Thor: Ragnarok has the "I know him! He's a friend from work!" joke, in response to Thor seeing Hulk. Given that it was suggested by a Make-A-Wish kid visiting the set, it's arguably justified. Promos for Eternals repeated Phastos saying “You know what's never saved the planet? Your sarcasm.� (one wound up subverted: lots of promos featured Ikaris destroying Phastos's table, leading to the response "IKEA. Fall collection." But the movie follows it with him calling Ikaris an ass, making the joke still land) |

The Clifford the Big Red Dog trailers repeat the parts where Clifford plays with a man in an inflatable ball, only to deflate it, as well as Uncle Casey’s reaction to seeing Clifford as a big dog. What makes this even worse was that the full version of the first scene was the first clip from the movie released online. | |

Big Hero 6 averts this. The trailers have Hiro trying to fit Baymax into full armor, only for all of it to break off as Baymax is too big. Then he becomes fixated on a soccer ball and tries to pick it up but keeps kicking it away. The scene where Hiro gives Baymax his armor in the movie seems to be heading the exact same way... except the armor actually stays on Baymax. It almost creates a new joke with the audience expecting the armor to come flying off, but it doesn't. He also never becomes fixated on a soccer ball, and, in fact, wouldn't as it doesn't fit his character. | |

Cop Out. Looked funny, especially this gem (skip to 2:04) between Seann William Scott, Tracy Morgan, and finally, Bruce Willis: Needless to say, that scene was not in the movie, turning it into a colossal downer for those of us who watched it in the theater. |

Despicable Me: The first film clearly had a monstrous advertising budget, with trailers and ads everywhere. And these ads used several of the best jokes in the movie, particularly the memetic "IT'S SO FLUFFY!!" Despicable Me 2 did this with the Minions in nearly every second of the trailers and barely showing Agnes. The overuse of these side characters that add nothing to the plot makes you want to see "It's so fluffy" again. On the other hand, overusing the Minions lets them save the funniest jokes, which involve the other characters, for the movie itself. |

Ice Age suffers from this. Many of the Scrat-related jokes were already run in the trailers, seriously diminishing their humor value when finally seen on the big screen. It's gotten to the point where the trailers are just entire Scrat segments, because the kids love him so much. The 3D trailer for Dawn of the Dinosaurs managed to effectively say nothing about the movie's plot besides "Scrat's here". The Continental Drift trailers did this with jokes involving Scrat as well as several other characters. In fact, the first glimpses people got of the movie were the first two scenes featuring Scrat edited down to be shorts before other movies. One frequently-aired commercial for The Meltdown showed the clip where Crash is launched through the air, singing "I Believe I Can Fly" very horribly before hitting a tree. |

Most Space Jam: A New Legacy ads and trailers repeat these jokes: LeBron James asking “What in the Matrix hell?� before being sucked into the virtual world. Usually, the line is shortened to “What in the Matrix-“ in the TV ads. LeBron reacting to himself having become a cartoon character, usually followed by Bugs Bunny asking “What’s up, Doc?�, the latter shot of this joke not being in the actual film. Daffy Duck doing both a Jaw Drop and a Mic Drop in disbelief, which in the actual film, is in reaction to Michael B. Jordan. The bit where Granny goes up against one of the members of the Goon Squad. |

Spider-Man's confrontation with the car thief in The Amazing Spider-Man and his humorous response to the thief pulling out a knife (and arguably one of the funniest things in the movie) was used in the third trailer for the film, the one shown in cinemas multiple times in the run up to release and was used in TV Spots (the whole scene was included on a promotional DVD!). Luckily the film had plenty more hilarious gags to surprise the audience with. Not to mention that in the movie, the car thief is also talking during the scene, making it a little hard to hear the punchline. |

Trolls: The cloud guy's weird handshakes, the Bring My Brown Pants moment and Mr. Dinkles saying "Oh, snap!". There's practically (and quite possibly) no trailer without at least one of the three gags. The sequel's trailers all use the Tiny Diamond rapping scene. Trailers released after the first one always end with a scene in which a smooth jazz Troll puts the characters into a trance. |

The gag about Dick Dastardly stealing Netflix through his mother's account being listed as one of his many atrocities (with Fred exclaiming "You have to pay for Netflix?!" in response) during the movie's VOD release... And finally, Shaggy and Scooby's wind-blown appearances after a wild ride on the Falcon Fury for the movie's DVD/Blu-Ray release. |

A running joke of Bruce Almighty was how Bruce's dog would constantly urinate on his chair. After receiving God's powers, he directs him to start using the toilet like a man, and in one scene, his girlfriend walks in to see the dog using the toilet while reading a newspaper. These scenes were in every single trailer. Bruce also uses his God powers to make said girlfriend's boobs bigger, which was also in all the trailers. | |

People laughed out loud when the trailer of The Mask came out, whetting the viewers' appetites. Sadly it showed most of the funniest moments of the movie leaving those who saw the trailer unsatisfied with the movie. Averted with Stanley's dog Milo donning the mask, which was kept out of the trailers and thus got a great reaction from audiences. | |

Many of the Scrat-related jokes were already run in the trailers, seriously diminishing their humor value when finally seen on the big screen. It's gotten to the point where the trailers are just entire Scrat segments, because the kids love him so much. The 3D trailer for Dawn of the Dinosaurs managed to effectively say nothing about the movie's plot besides "Scrat's here". | |

Averted with a gag from the second one — the trailer had the following exchange: The trailer has used an outtake — Orlando Bloom had made a mistake, and was indicating that they should try the line again. In the actual film, the gag's still there but he says: "...time to go." |

The Sponge Bob Movie Sponge Out Of Water had a lot of tie-in trailers and TV spots, and you'd see at least two or three of these jokes in each one: The cut to the apocalypse, with Mr. Krabs saying "Welcome to the apocolaypse, Mr. Squidward. I hope you like leather." SpongeBob and the others on land, trying to push a man they confuse for a "beached porpoise" back into the water and getting crushed. Patrick looks at an ice cream cone and says "Where have you been all my life?" SpongeBob and Patrick eat cotton candy and go hyper. SpongeBob looking into the Krusty Krab freezer and screaming, followed by Mr. Krabs doing the same. SpongeBob, in superhero form as Invincibubble, captures Burger Beard's cannonballs in bubbles. |

Every Free Guy trailer contains the scene where a sniper shoots a building, setting it on fire, while a guy falls from the building and emits the Wilhelm Scream. In the actual film, the sound effect is replaced by an actual scream. Another joke that’s used to a lesser extent is Joe crashing through glass and Guy asking “Mondays, am I right, Joe?� The bit where Guy states that he has never driven a car before has been repeated in trailers and promos. Like the first example for this movie, this scene was altered in the actual film, as Guy never says this line. |

Every trailer and commercial for Sing will have at least two of the following jokes: In a lot of the earlier trailers, the line about the sink being clogged was played a lot. "There's only one way to go, and that's UP!" Gunter's rendition of "Bad Romance" Three bunnies singing "Anaconda". Rosita falling down as the crowd gasps. The scene where Rosita dances to "Bambolero". |

Commercials and promos for Soul repeat the following jokes: Joe trying to eat pizza as a soul, only for him to poop out the pizza instead of digesting it. 22 doing a cowboy dance, which is not shown in the film. A building falling over some souls, followed by 22 saying you can’t crush a soul in the Great Before, and that’s what life on Earth is for. Joe thinking he’s gone to “H-E-double hockey sticks�, and the young souls repeating “Hell�. In later promos and trailers, the clip of 22 getting excited and saying “So good!� after eating pizza in Joe’s body is repeated a lot. |

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted has a scene in which Marty does a little dance done as a clown. Pretty funny the first time. But then, it appeared in every single freaking trailer for the movie, every TV spot, every internet ad! Hell, one ad seemingly portrays Marty as trying to dethrone "I Like to Move It Move It" as the franchise's leitmotif with this new song, by interrupting King Julien and seemingly making him feel uncomfortable. | |

Subverted in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, as pointed out in RedLetterMedia's review. Compare the reasonably amusing comic timing of the take used in the trailer, versus the humor-exsanguinated one used in the film. | |

The trailers for The LEGO Batman Movie tend to play the joke where Batman says his Batplane only has one seat because "he only has one butt" over and over. | |

Every single trailer for Superbad used the line "McLovin! Sounds like a sexy hamburger!", usually after talking about how the movie would be immensely quotable. (Quite a few people pointed out that calling the line "quotable" is a stretch; what situation would you quote that line in?) It was pretty clearly just that they wanted to show off that Seth Rogen was in the movie, and this was one of his character's few lines that didn't include any swearing. To add insult to injury, the line got cut from the movie. | |

Quite a few Lilo & Stitch trailers featured a scene in which Lilo placed Stitch's claw onto a record player, then opened his mouth, and "Hound Dog" started playing. When Lilo actually tried this in the movie, Stitch played "Suspicious Minds". | |

One frequently-aired commercial for The Meltdown showed the clip where Crash is launched through the air, singing "I Believe I Can Fly" very horribly before hitting a tree. | |
