When did the practice of having a joke with no music at the end of a trailer begin?
Many modern day trailers, especially for action-y movies follow a very similar format.
- Short and relatively slow paced intro of the major player and plot. Music is slow to match
- Real action start. Music picks up, lots of short climatic shots. This is where the movie gets really sold
- Music cuts out. Video goes from lots of short cuts to a single, slow paces scene, often times of a joke. This will last maybe 15 seconds or so.
- Music returns again in a slow form. Outro credits and movie title is shown.
A good example is the Suicide Squad trailer
When did this format of trailers begin (specifically step 3)? It seems like every trailer I see nowadays does the exact same thing.
Edit: more examples as requested:
Two new trailers, Pirates of the Caribbean and Justice League. THey both do this.

What is the difference between teaser and trailer?
Trailers are created at the end of production of a movie. Teasers are created before a movie is produced or during the production process. Trailers follow a three-act structure which captures the beginning, middle and ending of the film. Teasers capture the intense excerpt without a relevant arrangement.What was the first honest trailer?

Due to trailers initially being shown after, or "trailing", the feature film, the term "trailer" was used to describe the promotion; despite it coming before, or "previewing", the film it was promoting. This practice was found to be somewhat ineffective, often ignored by audiences who left immediately after the film.How do you make a teaser trailer?
