#HonestTrailers
The reason he added the deep sigh is because having a daughter added deep exasperation to his moods.
A teenage daughter at that.
Okay that's real
Am a parent, can confirm.
well, I can confirm and She's not a teenager yet...
exactly
In honor of this show’s 10-year anniversary, can we get an Honest Trailer for Honest Trailers?!
They already did it in the Deadpool 2 honest trailer
@@chiaramilanoli1997 Okay, but now for real!
@@benabramowitz18 they already did it for real….
They did it, but it was also 3 years ago and SO much has happened since then, so it could go for a Season 2 edition 😀
Yeah Deadpool done that already
Holy crap, “fight something I used to doodle in my notebook margins” is a brilliant line.
Haha...felt that too close!
Watching this season 2 years after the first, I agree, I barely remembered what was going on from their geopolitical plot. But Geralt fighting monsters? Great entertainment.
Lol. Perhaps do a little research into the lore snd games and novels and stop being such a casual
If you have to 'do research' in order to follow the overarching plot of a show, the writing sucks.
@@dcmastermindfirst9418 if you need to do research to know about the show, that means the writing of the show is fucking useless and Terrible
Thats what rewatching is for.
@@dcmastermindfirst9418 A "casual." Lol. If the show was better, I'd invest more of my limited time into its universe.
That sigh when Epic Voice Guy named Ciri "The Destiny's Child"... Pure perfection :)
Don't let this distract you from the fact that I get bullied because my classmates think my videos are the worst. Please don't agree, dear ane
В чем суть этого мема?
@@Veirdjil Группа с 90х-2000х с которой началась Бейонсе. Но прикол в том что Honest Trailers задолбались что эту возможность упустили в первом сезоне, и комменты были полны напоминаний :)
Perfect complement to that montage of Geralt's deep sighs.
It’s called “acting.”
That hangover monologue got me smiling
Right? It was pretty bad until then.
It was appreciated
That's what the quote is from! Thank you, it was bugging me that I couldn't place it
@@latue87 me too lmao
Season 2? Honest trailer ran out of movie? Whats next, season 2 episode 2 honest trailer? Really desperate.
Honestly though, Cavill’s unabashed love of Warhammer makes him my nerd idol.
He's an awesome geek too. I never thought I could get turned on by watching a man build a computer.
@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 well congrats you made me google "henry cavill building computer" and now I'm kinda into him for that
not to mention he almost missed something for work because he was raiding in warcraft lol
@@Iggybart05 "something" ? Not picking up the phone to get the role for superman surely isn't just "something" xD
Henry Cavill just making Geralt noises is the best acting in the show.
“Why is it when I talk about lesser daemons of Nurgle, my girlfriend ignores me? But, when he does it, I have to wipe the chair down.” Best line ever. Straight out of left field, and made me spit water everywhere, so I literally have to wipe my chair down.
Absolutely floored me
@@User36598 Same here. It was like a sucker punch of hilarity.
@@heathermillsphantomlimb9314 Hilarity - and truth!
I mean... Yeah I guess.... But, like, they showed a daemon of Khorne
@@GrimToad Details, details.
I literally cried laughing when he started to introduce Geralts character...loner wolf pack😂
Unexpected Hangover reference :)
That was cute asf
I can relate. If I tell my girl some fantasy stuff, she yawns. But when Henry explains them. She's all ears and even giving her own knowledge about them.
"But when he does it, i have to wipe the chair down" I dont think ive laughed that hard in months
Special thanks to Henry Cavill for caring for The Witcher more than the writers and producers and being the glue that holds this series together
I prey he gets the show back on track properly by the time of contempt.
@@aledforbes6278 he had to talk the head writer into making roaches death serious instead of 'funny'. that's a good example of his dynamic with the show
@@Konfide4043 Ik it actually pissed me off when I heard about that.
@@Konfide4043 he... he had to do WHAT?
@@commandershepard5878 Yep Hissrich admits that when she first wrote the Roach death scene, her instinct was to puncture the moment with a bit of meta-comedy. Henry Cavill pushed for a more heartfelt moment, and eventually Hissrich caved - which she says was ultimately the right call. “Henry was so unhappy with the line,” she recalls. “Finally I said, ‘You know what, you come up with something. I trust you, you know this material so well, you know the book so well, you don’t even have to pitch it to me.’ And he came back the next day with a beautiful speech that’s at the end of Sword of Destiny when Geralt is facing death and it’s such a pitch perfect moment.”
He went full emo because he and Geralt broke up. What else would push a chipper drama student to "writing diss tracks about someone they used to be around" faster?
Also that song SLAPS
@@PizzaHutCEO IT'S SO FUKKIN' GOOD ZOMG
He went full Tylor Swift
@@CafefantasmaMX can you like stop .
@@CafefantasmaMX more like the Weeknd
"Snow White Flame and the Grunstmen" had me dying. XD Also this is the honest trailer that made me watch the series. Thank you. :)
"i'm just yenny from the burg' and "poet at the disco" made me snort. good ones guys
"Stop stabbing yourself, stop stabbing yourself." 😂😂 Wtf LMAO
TFS!
@@SammanVerma that joke predates TFS
FR 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mad respect to Epic Voice Guy for taking into consideration all those "Destiny's Child" comments from the S1 video and *deep sighing* them into Ciri's new Honest name for S2. Now *that's* a guy who respects his fans! 👏😊
You mean the honest trailer writers?
@@reecejulian Yes, I just figured that EVG probably read all the comments too given that *deep sigh* he emitted.
r/unexpectedcommunityreference
I just read the scripts, man. 😜
@@epicvoiceguy but but but your sigh is on point lol
When Gerald said "it's kind of a Chernobog" I laughed and pretty sure everyone who knows Slavic mythology a little bit too. Sounds like "It's kind of a Zeus" or "it's kind of an Odin"
Absolutely.
honestly, thank you for the explanation :D
can someone explain to me where the Character building was supposed to be in season 2? It felt like Ciri was in Caer Morhen for a week or so, lerned magic with Yen for half a day and maybe spoke with Triss about magic once. In the books she actually spent some time learning, would be nice to keep that part if they decided to change so much of the other stuff...
What did they change ?
The character building is hidden...in the books. Along with all logic, nuance and good storytelling!
the books were obviously more in depth. Ig they had to cut the character development short for the sake of the plot
I'm assuming that's going to be a large part of season 3
@@chrisprilloisebola For the sake of which plot? There are 10 of them.
I really love Jaskier (aka Julian Alfred Pankratz, Viscount de Lettenhove). That's so like Jaskier go on an epic adventure with a group of people to slay a rare dragon and not remember any of them??? 😂
He was drunk
It's because the series actually kind of suck. The battles have been god-awful, the characters void and the story either a filling with no outcome for future development or ridiculously over-acted scenes with characters doing the exact opposite of their nature portrayed so far... The only thing keeping the series at the "above average" level is Henry Cavill and his fighting scenes
Dude even I dont remember everything that happened in the 1st season. Alooot on our plates these past 2 years woof👀
Because Dandelion is so focussed on himself that he doesn't notice or register most of what is going on around him unless he stands to benefit.
He was too busy brooding over his break up with Geralt to remember anything else
Geralt’s title from the Hangover is more words than he’s ever said in his witcherin’ life!
Man, what you said about your girlfriend ignoring you when you talk about Daemons of Nurgle made me laugh out loud so hard!
Epic voice guy also plays Warhammer... We're fucking everywhere
What I love the most was the care work Geralt did. „I understand you“, „I know how you feel“, „I am sorry“ - that is some emotional masculinity right there.
"Eugenics: the cause of, and solution to, all the continent's problems." Very damn true.
Heinrich Himmler would like to have a word with you
You could even say that it's the final solution
@@bernardoohigginsvevo2974 Imma leave this comment section before things go Ost
even the witchers and witches are basically attempts to create the ubermensch,now that i think on it.
lol why are that and baby murder the most honest lines from the whole trailer xD
I'm pretty much in the show for the bard. Even when he's tortured, he's still the only character that remembers positive emotions are a thing.
Eye roll and *Geralt grunt noises*
In defense of Geralt's new weapon; The Deep Sigh, it is auto-added to the skillset of all new parents.
‘Start your epic quest of trying to remember anything from two years ago’ - Accurate. My brain was hurting trying to remember anything from season 1
Even if you watch it again, the time-hopping still keeps things confusing
The second season felt like a divorced couple that chose to raise their daughter together for the sake the world.
And then got back together in the process.. Common Hollywood trope.
you mean gerald and Jaskier, right?.
@@GrimReaper415 to be fair it happens in the books too
That hangover monologue killed me. Haven't laughed that hard since I was a child
Geralt is campaigning to get his "Dad of the Year" mug by Christmas.
"Ciri is just an another teenager" while she screams out of her lungs.
Realistic.
Spot on.
True dat.
Yes. Best part? She didn't f-ing scream once without a reason in the books. I didn't watch this shitty show beyond the first episode so I don't have a clue what's that about.
Thing is she screams infra sounds that make earache
Jaskier managed to top his previous chart buster. What a legend.
ehhh. The second one is just ok to my ear. Toss a coin beats the pants off anything in season 2.
@@EclecticFruit idk, I fucking love Whoreson Prison Blues
I haven't watched the show but I did listen to the songs and they're *amazing* (btw if you like jaskier's songs i recommend checking out The Amazing Devil, it's joey batey's band and their songs are *incredible*)
Kudos to your editing team for watching and finding and putting together all those repetitive clips.
Ikr? The amount of work that goes into this is genuinely impressive
Was not expecting one great big hangover reference in an honest trailer especially one for the witcher 😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏
Use your epic voice to ask “Who patrols the Paw Patrol”?
Boss Baby
Coast guard?
Papa Troll
That last joke about wiping the chair down really got me. I couldn't stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣😂
SQUEEEEEEK
seriously I started laughing and yelling at the same time
I only watch this show for Jaskier tbh, he's the best character and needs more screentime
it's cavill and batey who carry on their shoulders this turd of a show. And I so want to like it
He needs less tbh
The best?. I can't tolerate him .
Jaskier is my absolute favorite part of the show. He needs to be more of a main character instead of on the side!
I ususally like funny sidekicks, but I can't stand Jaskier lol. He's just not funny. He tries too hard and idk, the humor doesn't seem to fit the universe, especially not this season.
I love that you went full Galifianakis inflection but somehow still epic voice guy
"one whole personality split between them". Damn it why does this make sense!
talk about meh writing - it makes the impact of possessed-Ciri killing off witchers less upsetting than it should have been.
2:55 Is it me, or did he just call the Elven mage 'Friend-a-bear'? 🤣
I find it cool that Under the muscles and grunts, Henry Cavill Is a huge nerdy gamer
Epic Voice Guy: “Just green light NCIS: Blavekin, 90 Day Boar Fiancé, Real Housewives of Nilfgaard, I mean f**k it” Me: You had me at NCIS: Blavekin
The grunts/sighing part was pretty funny
This was hilarious 😂 Would love to see an Honest Trailer for Arcane and how epic it is!
I concur! :)
I agree. Arcane was so great. I'd love to see what they do for an honest trailer for it.
Yes!!!
Same here!
Oh the misery.
"May be some torture will help." Good one 🤣🤣
Thank GOD he called out the sighs! All I could stop thinking about was if this would be pointed out in Honest Trailers. 😂
Dude. Ciri is literally the opposite of a "hope to bring peace between elves and men". The show makes a pretty explicit point about this. Just learning a little about what she's actually for almost broke Triss's brain.
so read a book, then you will know who she really is
@@ukaszbiaek6641 That would be relevant if this were a book trailer. You're thinking of who she decides to become...that's after she rejects who she currently *is* in the series time frame...which would happen in season six at the current pace.
@@str0matolite perhaps you`re right, at this moment they changed so much that instead saving world Ciri is to destroy it so whatever. BTW who she is now in the series?
She can be either. It's her choice.
@@PredatorH2O It becomes her choice, but that happens later. The Netflix series really leans on how we're all captive to our destiny and you just make things worse when you try to fight it. I assume the show-runners set up that narrative to really emphasize how crazy it is when Ciri does eventually re-write her own destiny. But we're not supposed to know that she can do that. It takes a while and it involves unicorns.
This was one of your funniest videos in a long time to me. Thank you.
I almost spilled my coffe when Nivellen got startled at 5:48.
Outstanding work !
I'm just proud to finally be able to watch a trailer 10 minutes after release 😅
Now do Arcane honest trailers please!
Wait, they haven't done Arcane yet?
I guess they'll do it when Season 2 comes out in a few years.
@@DarkHarlequin Ughh, don't remind me I have to wait that long for season 2.
Love your profile pic
Come on, Honest Trailers… it’s what plants crave!
KZhead recommended this for me just now - and I JUST NOW got done watching season 2
This was one of the best honest trailers great job
Please say "Broadcast the boom boom boom boom and make them all dance to it."
That intro was dead on, I made the mistake of not watching a recap and it didn't take long to realize I had almost zero memory of the S1 plot.
the hangover reference was gold dude good job guys!
Excuse me, Jaskier was in his Red (Taylor's Version) era. Just look at his lil' red jacket!!
How is there still not an Honest Trailer for Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
Movie, TV series or both?
So excited for this!!
All the thanks in the universe for adding the Warhammer bit! Priceless.
Sigh is a breathing technique to avoid his ptsd and anxiety from hurting annoying people he has to save cause they’re dumb.
Ok. So no one's able to recollect anything from Season 1? I thought it was just me and my attention span of a squirrel.
I started season two and had no idea what was going on or who anyone was, so I had to jump back to season one.
Luckily I watched the season 1 recap before watching season 2.
Dam 10 glorious years of honest trailers and still going strong. Between this and pitch meetings Tuesdays are great...super easy... barely and inconvenience. Honest pitch meeting for 10 year anniversary
The wolf pack bit had me dying
Okay you guys you earned your 'Like' with the Wolf-Pack parody at the end lol
Henry is literally carrying this whole show on his back like Atlas carrying the world
Luckily he is not, neither literally nor figuratively, though his contribution is undeniable ofc.
"Snow White Flame and the Gruntsman" this took me a while!
lol no mention of how characters inexplicably travel hundreds of miles in like 2 days sans portal or where ciri magically got an eyebrow pencil?
I couldn't keep from laughing at the Yenny from the Berg bit. Love it!
Thank you for noticing that babies are frequently being killed. My wife refuses to watch this show now because she thinks that the writer is sick in the head.
what she think about Bible writers then?
It's not like they are actually killed LoL
you know what is funny- none of that happens in the books
Hopefully she doesn't think that about sapkowski. Because literally none of that is in the books. Like, the majority of the events of S2 are not in the books, both in terms of what characters do, what happens in the world, what characters want, or what characters can do.
Don’t watch Game of Thrones 😂
SAY: "I won't allow butt stuff in the College of Winterhold. It's not for you, it's not for me, it's not for anyone. Only me."
I don't know where this came from or why it's so funny to me
Snow White Flame & The Grunstman is genius! 🤣🤣🤣
The best one yet!
This one was fun! Epic voice over guys brings the words to life! Please say (with a smile in your voice): "I can do this all day"
Please do The Blues Brothers (1980)!
For Betty, say "Thank you for being a friend."
This was just perfect
Roach death is sadder than the death of three Witcher in finale
Would love to see you to do a video of his dark materials. It's a pretty cool show with lots of jokes for you to come up with
Hahaha beautiful call back to "Blades of Glory" good man. Love this channel
Geralt of Rivia is a secondary character in his own show...
Duh. Geralt is the least interesting character in the witcher.
@@cm9241 lol delusional
While you’re on Netflix, do one for Cowboy Bebop. Rip it to shreds. Or do one for All of Us are Dead, which is actually pretty good.
They already did one for Cowboy Bebop
@@Kat-gp6gj Not the craptacular Netflix version.
Cowboy Bebop was actually pretty decent. Sure, the ending sucked hard, but aside from that it wasn't bad. People are just too pissed about it not being a carbon copy of the anime.
@@Dynaman21 If they do the the live action one too, I’m sure they are not doing to rip it to shreds like you anime fanboys want 😏.
Yup AOUAD was good but Kingdom and Hellbound are better (both korean dramas but not romance).
Do an honest trailer for Doom Patrol!
Can we all just appreciate Jaskier turning into Taylor Swift and writing diss tracks about his ex-bf?
Excuse me ? What about all the male artists slandering their exes ? The Weeknd?
The extra grunty bit reminds me of that song by xletalis by remixing Geralt grunting and sighing.
i just love the fact we all just agreed the bard bs'ed his way into immortality because that's a very bard thing to do LOL
Do an Honest Tralier for Disenchantment
"Stop stabbing yourself" Had me supressing a laugh for at least a solid minute
Hilarious! One of the best one of these yet! ... But damn if that wasn't a dark dark DARK way to end it.
Looking forward to season 3 but I can't wait until season 4 when Geralt adds more to the wolf pack.
That one slowmo scene where Geralt knocked someone's teeth off was weird. I don't remember them using that effect and they just dropped it out of nowhere lmao
The Hangover dilogue at the end fits so dam well.
I like how he says 40-thousand instead of, how literally every single person says it 40K.
American centric way of thinking. Native british speakers just don't say "k" much to express thousands.
@@Fr0gSplashh Literally every friend of mine who played 40k or KZheadrs that I watch (also British) all say 40k when talking about Warhammer...
I have mixed feeling about Season 2. I think that the first episode was really well done, and the rest of the show is not quite bad, but it is too different from the books to my liking. There are some great scenes though.
Remember when the showrunner said it would be a faithful adaptation? We knew it was a lie but we didn't want to believe it.
Like season one was really faithful and great then for season two they decided "hmmm nope" and idk just winged it.
@@lilliangb4814 I think it's because they're doing it book by book, the Blood of Elves book is not visually exciting at all, and doesn't really progress the plot much. They should have combined it with Time of Contempt then they wouldn't have had to invent so much.
some of the writing was just god awful... like that one scene when Yennefer followed Geralt from Cintra to KM and she's still yelling the same stuff at him once they reach it... That's a multiple weeks long trip, unless Fast Travel signs are canon in the Netflix shoq
a lot of it somewhat stayed true to the books, but the whole demon woman in the cabin made no sense and wasn't even part of the books. smh
This one is really great guys!
The hangover Wolfpack reference was gold 🤣🤣
Do a The Tudors/ The Borgias honest trailer please
Yes! The Tudors even has Henry Cavill!
Great picks my friend.
