Ben plays many different roles

When Ben spins the wheel, it lands on the genre of ‘Courtroom Drama’. He notes that the trailer is a sort of military grey, so he decides that his trailer will be for a military courtroom drama.

Ben’s trailer begins with his voice-over, announcing “In a world of war…”. We see Ben, wearing a helmet and armed with two guns, saying “Direct your fire at zee trailer! Zat Yankee trailer.” in a bad accent. The voice-over continues “…there are leaders and trailers”, as the camera pulls out to show the trailer attached to the back of a car.

The end of the trailer moves up and down as it says “We’re under heavy fire! I’m going in alone.” The car door then opens and closes, as it tells the trailer to stay where it is. The trailer then claims that sometimes a trailer doesn’t want to trailer, uncouples itself, and charges at Ben’s character, who quickly retreats.

Ben then appears as a different character, wearing a different hat, and telling the trailer that its actions had put everyone at risk, before arresting it. Ben then appears in the role of a judge, wearing a long grey wig, and banging his gavel. The trailer defends itself by stating “I’m a trailer, not a traitor”. The voice-over continues with “Sometimes the strongest come from behind.”

Ben then appears as the defence attorney for the trailer, wearing glasses and speaking in a southern US accent. The judge states that the role of a trailer is to be behind a car, then the bailiff says “The Jury finds the defendant…”, before the title of the movie appears, revealing that it is named ‘A Few Good Trailers’ (a reference to A Few Good Men).

In the studio, Jeremy says that he really wants to see the movie, and Ben claims that there’s a little bit of that trailer in all of us. When Matt Heath asks what the verdict of the trial was, Ben says “Um, you’ll find out this spring.”

Ben earns 5 points for his military courtroom drama.
