Star Trek Trailer Spawns Parodies [UPDATE 3: even more Videos] November 19, 2008
by TrekMovie.com Staff , Filed under: Humor, Star Trek (2009 film) , trackback
The new Star Trek trailer has been premiered, bootlegged, dubbed, subtitled, praised, pilloried, scrutinized, and analyzed. So it is too soon for it to be parodied? Apparently not – as you will see below from a collection of fun and creative ‘fan edits’
New Trailer edits
What does the trailer remind you of? Is it a a return to a classic, a teen drama or a coming of age military movie from the 80s? Or maybe another franchise from another galaxy. And some may wonder A number YouTubers have ‘reinvisioned’ JJ Abrams new vision.
UPDATED: Top Trek embed fixed plus added two more (see ‘UPDATE’ notes)
TOS redux (gommiL)
[UPDATE] Another TOS Edit (VentureJl)
[UPDATE 2] A TOS ‘canon’ edit from the other way around (VentureJl)
Smallville Trek (Kelvington)
[UPDATE 3] Another Smallville Trek (GeneralGrin),
The yin to Kelvington’s yang
Star Trek 90210 (Tmustaine)
Anakin T. Kirk? (GeneralGrin)
The latest Shatner Project vBlog (tvTrequer)
[FIXED] Top Trek (pyxlboy)
[UPDATE] The A-Trek (minitrapper)
[UPDATE 2] Alternate using new score (PeteFX)
NOTE: this one uses a score created by Trek fan and composer Mike Verta (featured on TrekMovie earlier this year)
All very creative work, especially our old friends GeneralGrin and Kelvington. If you find more ‘fan edits’ of the new trailer, let us know.

Star Trek Smallville by Kelvington was awesome.
Ha! Pretty inventive!
I can’t get YouTube at work. DANGIT! Guess I’ll have to wait until I get home.
I’M CAPTAIN KIRK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha, great job GeneralGrin!
The Shatner Blog is priceless!
LOL @ “The latest Shatner Project vBlog”!
I actually like the Smallville version. I can absolutely see similarities in the personal conflicts within characters like Spock and Clark Kent.
Redux was pretty good! The syncing on the Annakin one is spot on!
I’m sure the atmosphere around Bill Shatner’s house these days is pretty close to the Shatner reaction one.
the new Scotty does kinda sound like Jar-Jar. Fascinating.
Yeah, definitely loved the Smallville redux…
The new Scotty is portrayed by someone who is brittish, he’s probably a whole lot closer to a Scottish accent than any American would have been.
All terrific stuff! The Smallville made me laugh big time!
Gotta love that Smallville
Beverly Hill 90210. Excelent
BOOBS in Star Trek…. I like that…
The Anakin and Smallville ones were great. Thank you.
IIIIIIMM CAPTAIN KIIIIIIIIRRRK!!!!
Great! I almost died over that one
Shatner vBlog ftw. When the trailer audio stops as he smacks the display off its base, I LOL’ed.
God these Parodies are Just what I needed today, F’ing Brilliant, Cheers.
OH MY GOD!!!!! The Shatner project was INSANE!!! sooooo funny……
You have to just KNOW that “Bill” is looking at this and going “yes it’s true- I AM Captain Kirk!”
Loved the Anakin T. Kirk one- the similarities between this movie and “Sith” are amazing………………..yet “Sith” was a great movie so
Trek XI should be as well………….
Anyone do a James Dean version?
The singer in the TOS redux is too loud. ;-)
The Star Wars parody was absolutely hilarious. Well played, sir!
The one I’m calling “Enemy WIthin/Enemy Mine” was also very, very clever, even though I saw it coming. Still good.
Hats off to all!
Scott B. out.
God, these are hilarious.
FYI, the last one is just the 90210 one again, not Top Gun.
Great job, everyone! I am continually amazed at how creative this community can be!
Regarding the trailer and the volumes that have been written about continuity, canon, and “old vs. new,” I kept thinking as I watched it, “Wow. It doesn’t look the same as the Trek I’m used to–but it’s still rooted in the Trek I love.”
It reminded me of the adjustments I’ve made over the years: the TMP Enterprise, the Ent D and E, and pylons in Voyager that folded up like atrick car.
Though change ain’t easy, as they say, I’ll take new Trek (especially backed by real dollars from Paramount) over no Trek at all–even if it’s a little strange and unfamiliar.
LMFAO Jar Jar Binks really IS Scotty !!
the The latest Shatner Project vBlog is perfect.
I loved the Star Wars one. It was really funny and the dubbing was fantastic. Great Job!
:-)
I loved the latest Shatner Project sketch that was hilarious.
The other ones while fun showcase what I feel JJ Abrams is trying to turn Star Trek into.
These were fun
The trailer still confirms that JJ Abrams has screwed up Star Trek canon. It doesn’t matter anymore as the film is not canon.
Ok I have to say this are great I really like the Smallville one for some reason it worked so well with Star Trek. who knows one day Woners and Paramount may team up to do a crossover with Superman and Star Trek comic it happend before (X-men and Star Trek Marval)
sincerest form of flattery.
THE WOMEN!!
=h=
Captain Neill,
You are very mistaken. The movie is canon.
You guys can expect the best parodies to come out within the next couple of weeks. I know youtubers:)
Hey this was fantastic. I guess you can call it TrekVille staring Capt Kirk as Clark Kent. Ok thats so crazy and very funney. Love the paradies. Ok Keep them coming!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome clips!
The first one with the TOS music was my favourite!
Not a huge fan of the Star Wars one though. It was interesting I suppose but how about we not compare James T Kirk to Darth Vader?!
GeneralGrin- BRILLIANT! (And oh so obvious!) LMFAO!!!
sorry about code on top trek
On my iphone now…Will fix when I get back from jj abrams LA event
Have fun, Anthony!! I’m feeling very jealous of you right now!!
There is a way better Tp Gun Trek with the erlin and Loggins music
Dead on funny
I loved The latest Shatner Project vBlog !!! Kudos to ever thought that one up. Very Funny.
The latest Shatner Project vBlog (tvTrequer)
was the best by FAR
:D
THESE…ARE ALL… AWESOME!!!
I was cracking up and smiling through all of them. The “Shatner Project” one is absolute, sheer genius.
Anikan gets my vote
That The Enemy Within clip never ceases to crack me up.
The Shatner vBlog was the best. “I’M KKKIRRRKKKK!”
In Top Trek, it is Spock in “Star Trek” Not Syler. Syler is in Heros. This is an insult to Trek.
HAHAHA … those put a smile on my face. What talent with so little footage to work with you’d think these guys were the professionals!
gommiL’s spot hit every beat of the original theme. Made me more excited perhaps than the actual trailer. I wish they’d incorporate the Shats original monologue somehow (even if it’s Nimoy delivering it a la Star Trek II)
The Uhura sequence in 90210 Trek was a riot. Not sure yet how I feel about them sexing up Trek. I still cringe when I think about how they treated T’pol.
And the Shatner Project … classic! Hits right at the heart of Shatner’s ego-complex.
Great work! Thanks for the laughs…
wow .. that 1st one was pretty good … !… r u sure that that will not become the unofficial fan’s favorite !
Hmm… didn’t laugh once at any of ‘em. Was always under the impression that parodies are supposed to be funny. I’ve got a good sense of humor, but didn’t find anything funny at all in these.
The Shatner clip from “Enemy Within” was used to much funnier effect a year or so ago when he saw an article about the rumor about Matt Damon purported to play on his cabin view screen.
Brilliantly funny, and Anakin for the special “So True It Hurts” prize.
well, I thought they were a hoot.
All awesome!
Wow, lots of grainy footage. Nice.
TOS redux was amazing. I even got goosebumps while watching it.
scotty = jar jar… yuck
Watching the TOS remix, it just hit me how much Trek is back with this. Sure, I thought the trailer was cool, but now that just makes it seem like classic Trek. But how did they replace Simon Pegg with Jar Jar, sure his part (as much of a Simon Pegg fan that I am) seems a bit awkward from what we’ve seen.
Much MUCH fun, and yet the Smallville and Anakin versions actually seem to sum up my fears about this movie… Hmmm. I hope I am wrong.
Ha Haaaaa That Shatner Blog was some funny S***!!!
That first one reminded me.. if we don’t hear the actual theme from Star Trek somewhere in this movie, it won’t really BE Star Trek! And I don’t mean just the Enterprise fanfare… the song… WITH the soprano!
Maybe at the end as the E flies away!
The funniest one is the shatnerproject one. I couldn’t help but laugh when he starts yelling “I AM CAPTAIN KIRK!!!”
Star Trek 90210 was great.
The Shatner project was good as well.
Both make an argument for Shatner being in this film in their own way.
So little footage, so little time, SO MUCH TALENT.
Mr. Abrams, watch and cry! That’s how your $100Mil movie sounds: PARODY!
Starring: James T Kirk
Starring: Sylar… LMAO!!!
Watched the “Smallville” video, guess that some people have ALOT of free time. I have to work and get stuff done during the day! LOL!
Darth “Free Time” Ballz
Thanks for all the kind words, personally I laughed hardest at “The latest Shatner Project vBlog” by tvTrequer. On the Smallville video, one hour and twenty-two minutes edit time. And yes I do have a lot of free time, so if you need a video edited, and you have the cash, I’m your guy. :)
This illustrates completely why it may not be safe for Star Trek to be a big screen movie without strict respect for the original material.
The “I am Captiain Kirk is still the best and most dramatic.
A troubled Trek fan here indeed.
Are we all becoming just too cynical anymore for a new interpertation of Star Trek.
The Smallville one is the best.

‘The new Scotty is portrayed by someone who is brittish, he’s probably a whole lot closer to a Scottish accent than any American would have been.’
You’re quite right, Pegg is British. But so is the character of Scotty. Pegg just happens to be from England where as Scotty was from Scotland. Perhaps you meant English? Sorry to be pedantic, its just this thing I have. But yes, he’ll be a hell of a lot closer to a Scottish accent that an American or anyone else who isn’t from the British Isles. I believe his wife is Scottish also so that must help enormously.
The star wars was a great parody and very cleverly dubbed.
I take comfort that Kirk and Spock were around before Annakin Skywalker (going by our earth timeline ) so as pointed as the similarities in the plot might be .. Trek 1 Star Wars 0
The Shatner Project one was hilarious. I had a good belly laugh at that one.
Hey.. Hey, I like that neo-trek a lot better with the original music by, who? Alexander Courage or someone. It brought a tear to me eye. Also, I loves me some blue jedi woman.
YUP! That’s just aboot how the ol’ Shat-ster is feelin’ right aboot now!!!
I made my own video. Star Trek with a little A-Team-Style
http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=PUAAtiG-Vg0
It’s my first try, so I hope you like it.
PS: Please apologise my bad english.
I just realized that the new Scotty has too many fingers! NOT CANNON!
The Smallville one is very well done.
I couldn’t help it; I laughed my @$$ off during the 90210 video…!
And the Star Wars vid? Wow, that’s really well edited. Kudos!
Jar Jar Binks as Scotty? LMAO! I love it!
A-Team was very funny. Nice sight gags. That should be added to the videos above.
#73. That’s so wrong, on so many levels, but funny as hell.
The latest Shatner Project vBlog , and Smallville trek ,,,funny.
I loved the Star Wars one.
ahaha the A-Team one is great! …and I actually kinda liked the Top Gun one.. :3
All fantastic…the 90210 one cracked me up…
That A-Team one was so great… I want that in HD on the BIG SCREEN!
The A Team was funny as hell. Especialy Rosie O Donnel As the Hungry Monstar. Hey I guess she had a small cameo as her self. Lol. The rest were great as well. Can’t wait to see more.
Im Capt Kirk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. IM Capt Kirk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Shat we all feel for ya.
did anyone else notice that the star trek trailer came on during terminator on Monday, right after Brian Austin Green’s scene? Star Trek 90210 LOL.. Sorry, I had too lol
The A Team one was pretty cool too.
I cracked up at the “Dennis The Menace” title.
LMAO
there is a reason for all these parodies…
Star trek 11 is everything else, except star trek!
Especially the one with anakin… sheeeshhh
Yes Shatner is the real Kirk…. and still will be it seems after this movie.
#60
Yep.
A-Trek ftw. Gold from start to finish.
What’s wrong with Trek having state of the art special effects, a future that actually looks like the future and amazing action… make it more like Star Wars, I say… as long as you don’t lose the Star Trek spirit… which at it’s best was about action and struggle. Just my opinion.
and… these were awesome. smallville = amazing. is that after effects?
#48….. Jeeeeeeeeeeeeez, !! not enough that folks on here slag off the films, the new film, Enterprise, oh and bits of TNG – ah and mix in a bit Voyager and DS9 for goodluck, oh and of course the trailer… now it’s the parodies that get slagged… ‘
Grow up you sulky child.. or maybe better still, try being creative yourself, instead of picking holes in others people effors.
Well done to those involved in Trek, past, present, new, oh yeah and parody! We thankyou (well, I do)…
“The latest Shatner Project vBlog” – laughed my ass off. Hilarious.
90210 great as well with all those car/motorbike scenes
The 90210 parody cracks me up, but also loved the Shatner vBlog and the A-Team parody – just fun to hear the theme tune…. Rosie O’Donnell and ‘hungry monster’… hilarious….
And no one has done a (modern) Battlestar Galactica opening parody yet???
Although the TOS Redux-Clip was kinda cool I got the feeling that these boys have too much spare time… get a job!
#89. Totally Sony Vegas Video. After Effect while amazing, is evil EVIL I TELL YOU. At least until I figure it out. Spockboy swears by it, I swear at it.
The “Top Trek” is great, cause the first time I saw the trailer, I turned to my wife and said, the opening is just like that scene in Top Gun. I was waiting for a shuttle to take off next to Pine.
Great work!
I wonder if people will still love the Abrams star trek movie in 40 plus years?
#10 -”the new Scotty does kinda sound like Jar-Jar. Fascinating.”
-
I literally laughed out loud at Jar-Jar.
@ tvTrequer:
great idea!
loved the atrek one i knew that hungry monster looked familiar
These are hilarious. Thanks for posting them, Anthony. That shat-bashing one’s a keeper.
I just posted another alternate trailer. I was inspired by the TOS variants posted above, and remembered that there was an article here at Trek Movie about a fellow that had seen footage from the film and went home and wrote his own take on what the main title score could sound like, so I did a re cut of the new trailer with that score and done as if it were the opening credits to a TV show.
Here is the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vns-pkk-_Y0
Higher res version on VEOH as well:
http://www.veoh.com/videos/v16680908Cfr9KqBA
All of these are great, but I think “UPDATE 2 A TOS ‘canon’ edit from the other way around (VentureJl) is my favorite because it showed that the trailer’s content would work just fine with our old TOS folks in the mix. I love it!
Wow, that Mike Verta score was something!
Hell yeah, the Mike Verta music is GREAT. Where can I buy that????
Jar Jar Binks as Scotty…. I nearly shatnered my pants laughing.
These new trailers are brilliant. Well done guys. The perfect antidote to all the CRAP about canon and whatnot.
I could easily see Mike’s score playing over the main end credits of next summer’s movie… in fact, I played it about six times just now, imagining myself making my way out of the theater while his score blasts over the theater speakers. Ahhhhh.
HAHAHAHA… PML!!
I actually liked the “TOS redux (gommiL)” trailer better than the official one!
Found another good parody:

#97 – “I wonder if people will still love the Abrams star trek movie in 40 plus years?”
—-
People will say, “look at those miniskirts. They look so mid-20th century.”
#111
Ha! And the pointy sideburns. Though I gotta say, they’ve worn well over the years.
At least no one in the new cast wears a Beatles wig or a beehive, eh?
My vote is for the A-TEAM one!
The “TOS canon edit from the other way around” is not from VentureJl, its from Edmo85
Thanks for all the kind words!
Anakin is absolutely brilliant!
“The latest Shatner Project vBlog”
absolutley brilliant!!!!
i only wish it could go on longer
12-
Despite being Canadian, James Doohan managed to stumble his way through and bury himself in the part–somehow.
Ok…I see the Smallville one and think, that’s the audience the studio wants Abrams to go after with this project. Then I see the one for Star Wars/Anakin and start to agree with the fans that the plot is a ripoff of SWs. I end up watching the all even to the last that shows the clips with Mike Verta’s take on Courage’s Classic score. And, as I watch, my heart skips a beat or two as it usually does every time I hear those opening notes and I start to think to myself…Eh, why don’t we all just shut up and give the Abrams a chance. Like some of us have said before…Hell, it’s a Trek project back in the theaters!
Great job on all of these. Positive responses or not….”I’m Captain Kirrrrk!”…classic.
Star Wars Anakin was the shiz. When they had JarJar in place of Simon Pegg I about fell out of my chair. I know, Im sorry, it wasnt really funny .
honestly, i do not get the comparison to teen melodrama. 90210, really? most of the actors playing the classic trek characters are close to my age.
Chris Pine: 28
Zachary Quinto: 31
Karl Urban: 36
Simon Pegg: 38
Zoe Saldana: 30
John Cho: 36
Anton Yelchin: 19
Bruce Greenwood: 52
Eric Bana: 30
Winona Ryder: 37
Ben Cross: 60
Leonard Nimoy: 77
except for anton, it is not quite the cast of your typical nighttime teen soap opera. :)
All very good. It’s very exciting to see the old show with the new music and slightly fresher attitude. That’s really the treatment I’d have preferred. Just me.
I’m also reminded what a cool freakin’ theme song the A-team was. Great era. Perhaps the last great era of theme songs before their decline, now that I think about it. Someone ought to do a study on that.
I continue to be surprised and delighted by my fellow Star Trek fans. What a creative and funny bunch of people! Those mainstream critics that dismiss our community just don’t know us very well.
Well Done!!!!
(Where did the score come from for the video from PeteFX? It was outstanding.)
GeneralGrin made another parody of the trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhRUHVB1Q2A
These are very creative, but the A-Team paraody has my vote!

The Shatner vBlog was hysterical. xD
And I had just finished re-watching that episode yesterday, hehe! x3
Looks like ’60’s Kirk needs to be a little more tolerant of Mr. Pine.

#118 despite being Canadian? Shat was Canadian also… and you’re a shop vac.
I’M CAPTAIN KIRK ! ! !

these parodies are clear indications by the theme songs that they are swipes at the sophomoric integrity and nose-diving that JJ has led Trek! Really, I have lost my appetite for trek now that I’ve seen this crotch-shot Kevin-smith audience trailer.
