The sequel we didn’t know we didn’t want, «Joker: Folie à Deux», has become the star attraction of this year’s Golden Raspberry Awards – and not for the reasons its creators might have hoped. Topping the charts in absurdity, the film scored seven gloriously humiliating nominations. If you thought the first «Joker» was bleak, wait until you hear about the sequel’s award-worthy failures. 😏
«Joker: Folie à Deux» Sweeps the Razzies – A Masterpiece of Mediocrity
Among its most notable Razzie nods is the category for «Worst Musical for People Who Hate Musicals». Yes, Todd Phillips dared to add singing to the mix, proving that clowns and choreography don’t always go hand in hand. Audiences reported feelings of secondhand embarrassment that lingered longer than the runtime of the film itself. 🎤
A Love Story for the Ages (Or Therapy Sessions)
Another highlight is the nomination for «Weirdest On-Screen Romance», celebrating the baffling chemistry between Joaquin Phoenix’s sad, greasy Joker and Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn. The film attempts to convince us that chaotic rooftop dances and existential monologues are a form of foreplay. Spoiler alert: they’re not. While some fans called it «artistic», others are still scrubbing their brains with soap. 💔
🎬 «Joker 2» Razzie Awards: A Musical Disaster or Cinematic Genius? 🚨
Not to be outdone, the Razzie committee also created a special category this year: «Best Cameo by a Household Appliance». That’s right – the Joker’s empty refrigerator has earned its place in cinematic history. This poetic symbol of despair and broken dreams left viewers wondering: «Is this fridge a better actor than half the cast?» 🧊
A Symphony of Suffering
The musical numbers were so avant-garde that even hardcore theater kids called it «too much». It’s no wonder the film snagged the nomination for «Loudest Attempt to Sound Philosophical». Lines like, «Why so serious when the world is just a stage?» hit harder than a college freshman’s Tumblr poetry. 🎶
If the plot wasn’t confusing enough, the Razzie committee also applauded the film’s attempt to make everything mean something. But, as one disgruntled viewer put it: «It’s like someone spilled glitter on nihilism and called it art.» The nomination for «Worst Script That Tries Too Hard» feels well-earned. ✍️
Is This Even a Sequel?
Finally, «Joker: Folie à Deux» got a nod for «The Most Useless Sequel Nobody Asked For». Fans of the original were left scratching their heads, wondering if Hollywood executives greenlit the project just to fill their misery quota for the year. One critic described it as «the cinematic equivalent of reheating last night’s leftovers, only to realize they’ve gone bad». 🍕
This masterpiece of madness has truly united critics, fans, and internet trolls in a chorus of laughter. Whether it’s the over-the-top performances, nonsensical plot twists, or its tragic attempts at profundity, «Joker 2» has given the world a rare gift: something to collectively roast.
Finn McFrame, celebrated satirical mastermind and self-proclaimed “Emperor of Irony,” started his illustrious career as a cinematographer, where his expertise in capturing every single frame of a squirrel stealing a baguette earned him accolades at obscure film festivals.
Born in the glamorous town of Boring, Oregon, Finn grew up with dreams of being a Hollywood director until he realized that satire, not cinema, was his true calling—or at least the one that let him sleep until noon.
