Referring of course to the "Planet of the Bass" thing which got very popular as a 1-minute clip, quickly was made into a full length music video which feels like its trying too hard and also does a pretty poor job of replicating that weird Europop broken English (take it from ILXOR.com's #1 Scooter fan).
made me think of the amazing "Italian Spiderman" fake trailer, which got so big they made an actual series out of it, which was actually pretty amusing but none of it was as funny as the trailer itself
are there any examples of this actually working?

I thought the feature-length documentary of Marcel the Shell was pretty good. Dean Fleischer-Camp had an unexpected viral hit with the original youtube video, but he's an excellent filmmaker in his own right.

didn't realize there was a trailer version of it
i heard that they had to stop doing it because it was a blatant copyright violation. but i also heard that italian spiderman is in the latest spider-verse movie. and the people who made it went on to make "danger 5". i love that weird australian shit.

hah, I had no idea! looking it up I think they wanted to use him in a Spiderverse movie but don't "own" that character so they can't, too bad because that would've been so cool
rewatching the "show" it's actually funnier than I remembered but the trailer is so crazy and weird I've probably seen it 50 times

seems like the "pilot" for adventure time was an early viral video that my friends and I were in love with and then years later became a full series, so many years later that I made a child in the interim but she likes adventure time too so, good job everyone
