Someone Recreated the GTA 6 Trailer in GTA 5 and It’s Hilarious, AI Weirdness and All

It was only a matter of time. With the GTA 6 trailer burned into our collective memory and the game’s 2026 release looming, someone finally did what the internet always does: they recreated it in GTA 5—and it’s as cursed as it is brilliant.

YouTuber Gu1maz took Rockstar’s second GTA 6 trailer and rebuilt it entirely in GTA 5’s movie mode, swapping out Vice City for Los Santos and casting Michael and Trevor as Jason and Lucia. That alone is enough comedy fuel to power a Vinewood blockbuster, but Gu1maz didn’t stop there. No, they added dialogue, a musical number, and a little bit of 2025 internet chaos.

Let’s get the basics out of the way: Michael plays Jason, Trevor is in a dress playing Lucia, and Jimmy De Santa steps in as Cal Hampton, the sweaty-smooth influencer from the original trailer. The shots are impressively choreographed for something built in a decade-old sandbox. There’s physical comedy, janky animations, and even a full twerking sequence from Trevor, because of course there is. Props to Gu1maz for committing.

But here’s where things go off the rails. Turn the sound on, and suddenly it’s… uncanny.

“Come on man, this'd be so much funnier if it was clear you've just done a terrible impression with your own vocal chords.”

The voice lines for Jason and Lucia are there, but the delivery is oddly flat, robotic even. Same for the vocals on the musical bit: a cover of The Pointer Sisters’ Hot Together, allegedly sung by Trevor Phillips himself. Except it doesn’t sound like actor Steven Ogg—it sounds like a too-clean AI impersonation.

This isn’t just some guy with a USB mic doing bad impressions. It feels synthetic. And that’s the awkward part.

Now, fan content using GTA 5’s Director Mode has been a goldmine for years. From full-on machinima dramas to low-budget sketch comedy, players have been using Los Santos as a digital soundstage since Rockstar gave them the tools. One of the wildest examples of this is “GTA’s Hamlet,” a now-legendary video that reenacts Shakespeare’s tragedy in full using GTA 5 characters. That project relied entirely on community voice acting, awkward animations, and heartfelt jank—and that’s part of why it worked.

This new GTA 6 remake? It’s still funny, but the AI vibe makes it a lot harder to laugh guilt-free.

To be fair, Gu1maz hasn’t confirmed that they used AI. There’s still a chance it’s just really stiff delivery or reused in-game lines that barely pass as voice acting. But that cover of Hot Together? It’s too clean to be a goof.

“Not only does it sound a lot like Trevor song covers you can find on YouTube which are forthright in admitting they've used AI, but it's excruciating to listen to in a way that sounds a bit too robotic to be funny.”

The real kicker is that if someone had just done a terrible Trevor impression—like, screaming into a mic and ruining their throat in the name of comedy—it probably would’ve been ten times funnier. We’ve seen it before, and it always hits harder because there’s a human being clearly unhinged enough to commit to the bit.

But in 2025, it feels like every meme comes with an ethical footnote. AI voicework, especially when it mimics real actors, is a lightning rod. Voice actors have been vocal about how AI tools threaten their careers, and rightly so. If Gu1maz did use AI without permission, that’s a problem—even if it’s wrapped in Trevor’s miniskirt and some solid visual gags.

Still, the video’s racked up plenty of attention because it nails the absurdity that makes GTA fan content great. Michael stoically plays out Jason’s chaos. Trevor is fully buying into Lucia’s vibe. Jimmy is doing influencer shtick without skipping a beat. It’s a faithful recreation, through the lens of total dysfunction—and that’s kind of perfect for GTA.

So yeah, it’s funny. But it’s also a weird little time capsule of where the internet is at right now. Movie mode remakes, AI vocals, ethical grey zones, and people still willing to turn the most hyped trailer of the decade into a sandbox farce.

Let’s just hope next time someone brings back Trevor, they do it the old-fashioned way: with a busted mic, zero shame, and a voice box held together by adrenaline and Rockstar Energy.
