To Make Matters Worse: THE STARVING GAMES Trailer

For some reason, here’s the trailer for the upcoming Hunger Games spoof The Starving Games, which does its best to pack in as many dated pop culture references as possible into what will assuredly be a cringe inducing pile of nothing.  With Angry Birds, Gangnam Style, The Avengers, and The Hobbit featured in the trailer, clearly no property from 2011 is safe from this chuckle-fest.

The Starving Games hits theaters and VOD November 8th, hit the jump for the trailer and synopsis.

Set in the most depressing corner of a post-apocalyptic future, our hero Kantmiss Evershot (Maiara Walsh) volunteers to take her manipulative younger sister’s place in the 75th annual “Starving Games.” In doing so, she must leave behind her smoldering just-a-friend Dale (Brant Daugherty) and team up with the geeky baker’s son Peter Malarkey (Cody Allen Christian) in a fight for her life. But wait, there’s more! She could also win an old ham, a coupon for a footlong sub at a six-inch price, and a partially-eaten pickle!
 
In The Starving Games, Friedberg and Seltzer’s sixth cinematic spoof of popular box-office hits, the prolific parody duo has its sights trained on the adventure blockbuster The Hunger Games! It’s all the laughs and half the calories as they sling dozens of cock-eyed, barbed arrows at sci-fi, action and fantasy films from The Avengers and Oz the Great and Powerful to pop culture characters and celebrities like Harry Potter and Taylor Swift.
