Movie-trailer parodies are getting repetitive

Above is the trailer for the movie version of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, starring Master Shake, Frylock and Meatwad. As reader David points out, it shares the same basic gag as the Team America trailer from a few years ago. Likewise, the teaser trailer for The Simpsons movie used the same joke as the trailer for South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut. It seems that the parody-trailer business needs some fresh ideas. I did find it amusing that the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie comes from “the 1st assistant director of the 2nd unit of Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth” and “the production assistant of the training video ‘Know Your Fryer.’ ”

There's even an exploding Earth in both. Weird.
