A re-cut trailer, or retrailer is a parody trailer for a movie created by editing footage from that movie or from its original trailers, and thus are a form of mashup. They generally derive humor from misrepresenting the original film: for instance, a film with a murderous plot is made to look like a comedy, or vice versa. They became popular on the Internet in 2005.

Jerod at Midwest Sports Fan posted his list of The 15 Best Re-cut Movie Trailers:

One of the most clever and entertaining memes I’ve come across is the practice of re-cutting famous movies to create new, usually wonderfully ironic trailers.

Since there is nothing better to this morning, I have painstakingly watched as many of these re-cut trailers as I could find, sifted through the crap, and will now proudly present you with the following list of the best re-cut movie trailers.

His list is a decent one, although his first 3 are TV shows, not movies. And his decision to choose 3 versions of Dumb & Dumber as his his best is odd to say the least. Regardless, here is the list
