Never forget going to see a movie in Manhattan in the late 80s and a trailer for some Matt Dillon movie about hot angsty young guys and girls in the Midwest came on. The narrator dude had that “In a world…” vibe and they gave it the whole dramatic Hollywood big budget movie trailer treatment, building to the end where all the action suddenly stops and the movie’s title flashes to the screen and the announcer soberly reads it before the screen goes black: “Kansas.” There was like two seconds of total silence, then the entire audience erupted as one in hoots of laughter. Never seen anything like it before or since.
