Joker | Official Teaser Trailer REACTION!

[@NerfherdersAssemble]

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for watching! You quickly made this our most viewed video by a HUGE margin! We have so much more content to bring you, we hope you stick around to see it!

[@michaelhawkins7389]

The JOKER'S make up is based on that of John Wayne Gacy who in the 1970s dressed up as a clown and killed 33 people

[@kevinmcquade1688]

That walk going down the hallway in the end was so awesome. Confidence as the joker went up 100 times.

[@AIvsInfinity]

Kevin McQuade 💯🙌

[@arrv544]

Pretty sure he was walking the corridors of Arkham Asylum!

[@novachikun]

For real dude. For me that walk is the sign that the Joker personality has taken firm hold and his innocent Arthur Fleck personality is gone at that point.

[@vickirosstudor490]

The music is amazing

[@doubleot1984]

Joker: How Arthur got his swag back

[@sophiecooper3624]

I love the symbolism with the stairs As Arthur Fleck he goes up with a hunched back, you see the depression already As Joker he dances on the same stairs

[@NerfherdersAssemble]

Went to watch it again, that posture change just in the trailer speaks volumes!

[@ladydominion8632]

He has to fall to rise

[@vapoet]

@@NerfherdersAssemble Watch Scorsese's The King of Comedy. I see in this a descent into madness which is actually his success story. In The King of Comedy, Rupert's lawbreaking and conviction is a triumph, and is a kicking off point for all of his dreams coming true.

[@Docjonel]

Yes, a literal descent into madness.

[@vapoet]

@@Docjonel Yet, to him, the descent is triumphant. He is happily dancing towards the madness.

[@CastleBravo17]

Tsk tsk you doubted Joaquin Phoenix. Never doubt Joaquin Phoenix

[@AIvsInfinity]

MrsFefeNinja 💯agreed

[@geraldglaza9074]

I did have some doubt on Joaquin taking on the mantle of the Joker, I am happily surprised and impressed. With all of his other amazing roles I really shouldn't have any doubts. Thank you for taking the time to comment and watch our video.

[@youwouldntgetit3792]

gerald glaza why? He’s one of the greatest actors of all time and he had a very tough life. Perfect for joker

[@SnazzyPuke]

The thing that was creepy and so great about the laugh is that his eyes are wandering around while he's doing it

[@AkumaGekido]

Really great that you watched it twice. First time to just watch, second to analyse. Some reactors just talk over the trailer or keep pausing.

[@dunringill1747]

I'm only just now binging these Joker trailer reactions (late to the party, I know). I agree - I like this format. Watch it first for the raw reaction. Then go through it a second time for analysis.

[@testpattern23]

the last few lines on the notepad: "The worst part about having a mental illness is people expect you to behave as if you don't"

[@intheredcold9216]

You didn't notice the name of the comedy club... Pogo's. John Wayne Gacy's clown name....

[@NerfherdersAssemble]

Good call, gonna watch it again!

[@Mr8ofspades]

Thats fucked up 😂

[@pincharmonix]

The Joker's facepaint is even similar to Gacy's when he was dressed up as Pogo

[@vickirosstudor490]

Wow 😮

[@deannamorring7877]

🤯

[@hzjake]

Can somebody stop me from rewatching this trailer for like 1000th time

[@NerfherdersAssemble]

Why though?

[@noxi.1]

I watched trailer 30 times and I'm keep watching it , ... It's a masterpiece , I am not a sensitive guy ,I rarely get tears in my eyes but this Trailer Boom my tears automatically start falling when every time I watch this trailer.... Let's put a smile on that Oscar ~ Joaquin phoenix

[@unikeko96]

Tears and goosebumps... That trailer is one of the best trailers i've ever seen!!! 👏😮😱😰😅

[@ernestogastelum9123]

one of the best trailers ive ever seen

[@1polyron1]

Arthur went from a lanky walk to as the Joker a confident resolute stride. Is this what lunacy does to a person?

[@NerfherdersAssemble]

If so, Seth has some posture problems he can fix now.

[@starsonkurbah962]

I'm gonna watch the movie cuz he's one of the most interesting character in DC comics..

[@luckywize5270]

Going up as good guy And go downhill as Joker Masterpiece Great video dude

[@budoshi-f2l]

i thought the laugh was exaclt y like mark hamil is what i like about it. no one can match that to date. but sounds like Joaquin nailed it.

[@zc9003]

nice reaction guys - just to let you guys know, if you pause on the piece of paper he is writing on it says 'the worst part of having a mental illness' just before the 'people expect you to behave as if you don't'

[@NerfherdersAssemble]

Nice catch, we had to go back and pause on that. He also has a joke about insomnia, wonder how much of a factor that will play in his slip into insanity.

[@sallyatticum]

I am intrigued by the De Niro King of Comedy connection. Is De Niro a character like his Rupert Pupkin character and Joker is basically wishing he were a standup comic on tv, like him? He's even dressed like him with the orange suit. (That's a bit meta.) In that very next cut it is not De Niro walking out, it looks like Joker with the long hair. Does he flop in front of his first big audience and get booed? Is that the final straw? Or is that him finally getting an audience? Looking forward to finding out.

[@1polyron1]

"My mother always told me to put on a happy face" "I used to think that my life was a tragedy, but now I realize it's a comedy: IF YOU JUST SMILE" Brilliant Basically laugh all your problems away. EVERY SINGLE ONE. This Joker will usher in chaos. Smiling represents apathy/turning a blind eye. A man who is unhinged from reality.

[@sirsatire7802]

Can see you guys rising in the KZbin react ranks, interesting and super approachable. Keep up the grind, can't wait to see your guys careers blow up

[@NerfherdersAssemble]

Dude, thank you so much!

[@sirsatire7802]

@@NerfherdersAssemble anytime my man, keep up the good work

[@geraldglaza9074]

Thank you very much for the kind words and support!

[@IndyMotoRider]

Um yeah, the guy on the right won the prediction game. The guy on the left (sorry first time on ur channel) said it would be Adam West "campy". It's the furthest thing from campy. Mental illness, plus life constantly kicking him, and if you pause and read that note he was writing its pretty deep.

[@geraldglaza9074]

I agree that Seth (guy on the right) definitely won the prediction. I thought that it would have a more Batman TV show/the Batman 1989 movie Jokers. It looks to be way darker and that is good. Thank you for commenting and taking the time to watch our video. We hope you watch more of them in the future.

[@marypeyton2461]

This movie is going to be “AWESOME”!!! I can’t wait til October!

[@vapoet]

Oh... More ideas... What if the laugh in the club is forced. It was a "fake it until you make it" situation. A person with a mental illness will often get that type of ridiculous advice. (Having bipolar disorder, I can say that is fact.) You attempt to be normal and maybe even over compensate. The song gives it away "Smile though your heart is breaking."

[@ljohnson9988]

Martin Scorsese is an executive producer for this film, and you can see a lot of his influence in the trailer. That scene with Robert De Niro is a tribute to the film The King of Comedy (both films took place in the same time period, so the scene might be a crossover). There are also elements of Raging Bull and Taxi Driver.

[@el34glo59]

Agreed. Definitely King of Comedy and Taxi Driver. Raging bull? Little bit maybe. I'm very excited that Scorcese was producer and that we can see his influences. Tells me he was pretty involved. Hoping this is great. Looks amazing and Joaquin is a beast, but it's a trailer. I'm hyped but trying to bring myself down a bit. Don't want to be disappointed

[@Randii225]

They should "shutter island" this movie, in the sense that this origin story it’s all him making it up. maybe the movie starts him natarating his origin story to his therapist/us, then at the end it was all a lie, he kills the therapist escapes the hospital and kills bruce wayne parents.. BOOYA!

[@NerfherdersAssemble]

I like the idea of him making up the films plot. "If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice." - Mark Hamill's Joker

[@Fairneid22]

It's a mash of Joel Schumacher movie called Fallen down A middle-aged man dealing with both unemployment and divorce, William Foster (Michael Douglas) is having a bad day. This joker movie is also a mix Martin scorsese movie Kings of comedy and Taxi driver. Watch those movies. This movie has it's own thing. If you wasn't looking at it like at comic book it be like... What would happen if Mr.Rogers was alive and flips out and played all of us into believing he was just acting not to be a dark person. An all it took was the cancellation of his shows and funding for kids, then boom real life joker. Then you can say The joker (Mr. rogers) couldn't put a smile on his face so he had to paint one on. "The worst part of mental illness is people expect you to behave as if you don't." Oscar nomination coming.

[@NerfherdersAssemble]

I like this. Always a favorite quote from the Joker. "All it takes is one bad day. Thats how far the world is from where I am."

[@CurtisPaul09]

Love the Sweetwater shirt!

[@NerfherdersAssemble]

They own most of my life these days...

[@noogeyroadrocks8062]

that club scene where he fake laughed, I think he was trying to be appreciative because no one else was laughing to some lame joke being said

[@el34glo59]

Nice channel man. Just found it by accident. Subscribed

[@NerfherdersAssemble]

Cheers to happy accidents! Welcome!

PREDICTION I think arthur has to go to arkham for tests into his mental stability. He's a carer for his disabled/elderly mother. He meets a girl, does well at an open Mic night at a comedy club then... his test results from arkham arrive and he has some sort of abnormality (the scene where the worker at arkham stares at him and Arthur replies with "what", i think the guy is shocked by arthurs test results) He has a bad day at work, he gets beaten up, His girlfriend will leave him and his mother will die all in one day. "All it takes is one bad day". He'll then adopt the "It's better to laugh than cry" mentality (the tear rolling down his face whilst using his hands to manipulate his mouth into a smile) He spirals into madness. Though it also looks like he acquires some sort of following. In the teaser there is multiple people wearing clown masks and they seem to be fighting the police, anarchists maybe ? Anyone else notice the comedy club seems to be called "pogos", a reference to the real life killer clown John Wayne gacy?

[@NerfherdersAssemble]

I wonder if the anarchists wearing the clown masks are anarchists before Joker's influence or after. Would be kind of cool to see his newfound outlook on life be spread to a comedy club audience he addresses over time in the film.

[@michaelhawkins7389]

For anyone wondering: The JOKER'S make up is based on that of John Wayne Gacy who in the 1970s dressed up as a clown and killed 33 people

[@KnightfallBane01]

In Arkham I think he was going for some therapy like he was at the beginning then they cut it so when he goes to Arkham he’s just sharing an Elevator with a Loony

[@vapoet]

Another thought. You mention the scumbags on the subway. He was also attacked by what appeared to be poor teens while wearing the same outfit. Was it the same day? Was he attacked by both rich and poor, a cross section of the city, one after another?

[@NerfherdersAssemble]

Based on the look of it, I think a good portion of the bad stuff that happens to him will occur on the same day. Hes in the same clothing for a few scenes, all whilst looking distressed. Going back to Joker's One bad day speech. I'm stoked!

[@lsaiahD]

I'm lucky enough that my birthday is on the day it comes out

[@jocampo9435]

Watch - You were never really here - with Joaquin Phoenix it's really great!!! 🔨🔨🔨

[@backlash7232]

Does anyone out there know around what age the Joker is? We know he’s at least 20-25 years older than Bruce Wayne! So when Bruce finally becomes Batman, the Joker is probably in his late 40’s or early 50’s. Any help is appreciated

[@jahsh1062]

Unrelated but the guy on the left reminds me of Speckles from G-Force

[@blackdavee2878]

They're are two different types of people, ear buds and then headphones

[@NerfherdersAssemble]

Seth got downgraded to earbuds because he forgot to bring Gerald a set of headphones. Punishment fits the crime.

[@vapoet]

I wonder... Was the journal meant to be a comedian's notebook on topics and jokes to be talked about onstage?

[@NerfherdersAssemble]

Looks like it certainly started that way, got dark towards the end.
