The CW's The Flash is one of DC's best television series out right now, but that doesn't stop it from subjecting you to the constant soap opera clichés and recycled plot structure for every episode. From love triangles to Barry's constant complaining to Cisco's pop culture references, endless speedsters, and more, Screen Junkies has decided to shine a light on everything you love or hate from The Flash in their latest "Honest Trailer."

They address pretty much everything in this latest trailer, even the fact that Barry has a bobble head, which you can't really forget about it after watching it. If you love The Flash and feel like having a good laugh, then this video is for you. Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think in the usual place.



The Flash season 3 premieres Tonight at 8/7c on The CW.
 
Barry is living his dream life – his parents are alive, he’s asked Iris West on a date and he can finally be a normal guy as Central City has another speedster, Kid Flash, running around saving the city. When Barry starts forgetting parts of his old life, the Reverse Flash (guest star Matt Letscher) taunts his nemesis and tells him that there will be serious repercussions for Barry and the ones he loves if he continues to live in this alternate universe. In addition to losing his memories, his powers will also start to fade. When disaster strikes, Barry must decide if he wants to continue to live in this world as Barry Allen or return to his universe as The Flash.

Funny Honest Trailer, but the good of the show still greatly outweighs the bad.

@MrDandy - Wasn't like they ripped on the show all that much in fact the announcer kept saying how much fun the show is and how he loved the show.

So I haven't actually watched the show so I just learned this. They made Iris his "sister" in the show. He basically grew up with her with her dad being his surrogate father. Sure they are not brother and sister but there are some pseudo incestuous issues going on with these writers. Add in the whole Killing Joke thing where Batman and Batgirl [frick] and how messed up that is with their father/daughter relationship those two have had for years. Not to mention Batman banged his best friends daughter and DC seems to have some deep seeded sexual desires they keep trying to pass off on us. Stop creeping us with your deep sexual fantasies DC. If you want to get them out so much go write adult fan fics under a pen name.

The jab at Gotham at the end is particularly amusing given that it's the best of the DC shows.

@TyrionLannister - We...didn't watch the same Gotham. That show is brutally bad. But, hey, if you enjoy it, I'm happy for you :) Sincerely, I hope it keeps bringing you joy :) It was painfully unwatchable for me, so I bailed about halfway through S1.

@samantha1990 - I'm with TyrionLannister. Arrow is unwatchable since season 2, Supergirl is corny and the Flash is way too teenage drama. Those three put me off of trying Legends of Tomorrow.

Gotham has its flaws but its a way better show.

Flash, Supergirl, Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, Agents of SHIELD. No idea how any of them stay on TV, all awful. Daredevil and Jessica Jones are the only recent superhero shows that have worked for me. And Luke Cage's first 7 episodes. Agents of SHIELD gets the occasional look-in for Chloe Bennett, but I never lose sight of its awfulness. My point is though, that people eat these shows up and I just don't get it. I know they're fun but doesn't the Young and the Restless meets Power Rangers vibe put people off?

I think that all the time when watching the Flash. The CW Effect. I put up with it because when it's good, it's sooo good.

You know Grant Gustin would have made a perfect SpiderMan if Garfield didnt get the role for ASM. If Marvel wanted to go older instead of younger, Gustin would have been their guy.

It is pretty bad show when you compare it to the likes of Daredevil,Jessica Jones,Luke Cage,Preacher,The Walking Dead,Outcast,Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D and even Supergirl.
