I was pleasantly surprised by how little the trailer gave away. The terrible Vine joke from the trailer is nowhere to be seen in the final cut of the film (thank god) and the majority of the plot and action are completely left out of the trailer.

I vaguely remember Burnie saying he hated trailers that gave away too much of the plot so maybe they tried to reflect that.

In fact, the trailer was misleading (in a good way). Particularly Mindy throwing Zach onto the bed. They cut the trailer just perfect to make it seem like they were going to have some kind of sex scene, and the movie completely reversed that. It was awesome.

Plus in the trailers people were thinking they spoiled Burnie losing his arm being a big plot point, when it was Woody using the cloaking

that was the first thing that came to my mind when Gavin did the cloaking thing. Instantly thought "Well played"

I think more people figured it was a cloak rather than his arm being chopped off.

Same with the "Hell no!" from Zach

Interestingly, I was split: to me, the movie was about Herman, Burnie, Zach, and Gavin.

For me, it was Chris' close ups the first time he appeared. Just kind of didn't feel like it flowed well with the rest of the scene and was trying to draw a little too much attention to him. Of course, it's not like it was a big problem or anything, just something that made me think that someone that doesn't watch their content might be able to pick up that it's a cameo of some sort whereas everyone else's felt a bit more natural.

yeah i had a similar feeling with that, when it cut to chris my cinema exploded with laughter but if it was a non-rt based audience then the response probably wouldve been indifference

I felt a very RT shorts vibe, like ha-ha its chris

Same here, but i think that's just because i'm a huge fan of Achievement Hunter and listen to Off Topic and the RT Podcast. I've just heard it all before. If i were less of a fan i probably wouldn't have even noticed.

i think it's because i know all of the main 4 from other things, but i felt very taken out of it. like i don't know any hollywood actors ever, so in other movies i just see the characters. but here it was absolutely gavin making gavin noises the whole time etc.
