It's the year many believe the world went topsy turvy - Syria descended into bigger chaos, the British voted to leave the EU, Donald Trump was elected US president, and a host of celebrities from David Bowie to Muhammad Ali died.
These past 12 months have played out like a surreal horror film ― so Friend Dog Studios turned the year into one, in the form of a fake movie trailer.
The comedy studio premiered the trailer for 2016: The Movie and it has gone viral because it hits home.
It starts out innocently with a couple ringing in the new year in a new house. But then things you never would expect start happening everywhere, including notable deaths, exploding phones and Trump's 'locker room talk' defence.
