Joker is actually inspired by the cult classic Boss Baby.
Boss Baby was a masterpiece
I cried when the baby yelled at Arthur Fleck and said, "prescription mental health meds are for closers."
@@Ivytheherbert Oh yeah, what a great line.
Arthur: “I've got nothing left to lose. Nothing can hurt me anymore. My life is nothing but comedy.”
Boss Baby: “Uh, goo goo ga ga”
@@roxanne_ hahaha xD
I get it, Man Carrying Thing, you’ve seen movies.
yeah
And he’s read books, the nerd
@@glagy smh I bet he’s even watched tv shows
@@ManCarryingThing gush, what a tease
@@e.keough2975 I could tell from a mile away he's atleast listened to music,that nerd
Thought he was gonna say Taxi Driver and when he didn't it was like its own mini punchline. Good job, hilarious, just like Kundun.
Same
@@pigggy2313 is it? the fact that its like the king of comedy was talked about the moment Joker came out
Kundun, Ioved it
@@neighborhoodmusicsnob5517 thank you chrissy
@@inigo137it's pretty much a blend of Taxi Driver and King of Comedy. A lot of the societal treatment of mental illness, deluded warrior for the people, decayed new York stuff is taxi driver. The mentally ill deranged bad comedian, seedy underbelly of show business stuff is king of comedy. It probably depends on which you've seen more and which you prefer for which film Joker makes you think of. Neither option is wrong as both are evoked pretty strongly.
This skit reminded me of that scene in Joker (2019) where he gets pushed off a building by Batman, but flies back up and says “that’s right, I’m the aviator”
that scene brought me to tears truly beautiful
One of the best titular lines in screen (meaning TV as well) history
And he proceeds to aviate the CRAP out of the bad guys
@@stirpiano it sure was neckpearlin' time on those corrupt Waynes. That scene was mentally ill, man.
literal chills
Influences are bad, thanks Mr. Thing for this great lesson.
This comment makes me go insane like the joker
@@Numbabu The only difference between you and me is one bad comment.
It's almost like people have always been critical of pale imitations... that slowly put on clown makeup as sad music plays
@@Dubai1Dream2Tone3Upholding? You mean carrying?
Ah, have you been seeing Orson Welles' interviews too?
This video is actually stylistically and tonally similar to a very old video
Yeah, it was heavily inspired by "Sherlock is garbage and here's why".
I think.
They're both videos on this "TH-cam" thing, right?
@@j.b.c.a. Okay man, I get it. You've seen TH-cam videos before.
@@glendarjj3991 We get it dude, you've read TH-cam comments before
@@JimboRustles we get it JimboRustles you've breathed air before
@@glendarjj3991 we get it glendarjj3991 you've existed before
What men really love is Carrying Thing
But no man carries Thing like Man does.
Is it the carried thing because it is carried by man or is it carried by man because it is a carried thing though, what do you say Euthyphro?
You can make so many puns with that channel name.
Ekchualy Joker was, in fact, based off of a comic book character called Joker. I'm kind of a comic book freak like a nerd kinda like you know haha so I know stuff like these🤓
Comicphile?
Comic fan.
What not many people know is that the Joker is not an original comic book character. It was actually *heavily* inspired by -you wouldn't believe it- Bob Kane, a clown Bill Finger knew personally.
@@j.b.c.a. You're both wrong, he was based on the popular playing card.
akhtschualllyy the popular comic book and movie character called joker was based on an profession of entertainment most commonly referred to in the english speaking world as a "clown"
Wow. I started watching thinking only the standing guy was the butt of the joke but it was the sitting guy as well. Now the egg is on my face!
This is just like that movie about the duality of man: Face-off
looks like i showed you
Unrelated, but Face Off is on Prime video right now and I'm very tempted to watch it for the first time
@@TheSongwritingCat Watch it.
@@TheSongwritingCat Don't watch it.
As with most best examples of things, the best jokes contain two butts
(edit, two months later)
Sam, what were you thinking
what is this reply
are you alright
The fact that Martin Scorsese himself originally wanted to direct Joker makes this even better.
He thought about making it but he did not want to because he does not want to make a character that becomes a comic book character.
Also the fact that growing up, HBO played _The King of Comedy_ more frequently than QVC hocks overpriced garbage they slapped a washed up celebrity's name on.
@@bebo2629 Based,he avoided that stain on his career.
You mean he didn't? I thought he did!
@seaworth3382 yeah, Joker literally has nothing to do with the DC universe, just change the name of the millionare and you are done
Cinephile?
"Film Fan"
Got me rolling lol.
The correct term is kinophile, thank you very much
I thought he was going to say "Cineast" but then he didn't.
Rolling? Like. . .FILM?!?!? FILM. FILM. I LOVE FILM. I LOVE SCORCESE
I actually really like the point at the end. It’s something I need to remind myself of more. Most people making “cringy” & “obvious” statements about film or any other topic are just excited about a thing and trying to connect to others with it. Sure maybe there’s an element of wanting to present oneself as more knowledgeable and impressive than they actually are but that’s no crime nor is it something those of us are better at hiding it are innocent of. I think the best way to respond to someone saying something obvious like it’s a deep discovery is to be like “oh yeah I’ve heard of that, that’s so cool isn’t it?”. Why not do the thing that will leave both of you feeling better. Thank you for carrying this man.
Thanks for this
We live in an age that conflates being an enthusiast with being an expert
@@ResistanceQuest I think that's why there are problems with such "cringe" opinions.
By the most charitable reading we could be "nice" to people saying shit like "OMG Joker is totally a copy of Taxi Driver".
However, such people are trying to present themselves as experts with a gotcha moment. That makes it much harder to just interpret their behaviour as a harmless attempt to participate.
i really love this
True. But you can reason again, if you're a bigger person, you don't even care about people being braggy. It's because you see them on your own level. Not saying I like that kind of behavior, but if you can, try to let things go. The world is toxic enough already.
You really carried empathy and compassion in this one, didn't you?
Fun fact, Joker is actually stylistically and tonally based on the S&S Free Spin roller coaster "The Joker" at Six Flags New England.
The fall into madness makes a lot of sense now. Thank you for enlighting me.
Ok, but did you know that Viggo Mortensen...
Did you know that Tom Cruise in Fallout
Yeah he was my geography teacher for a couple of years
just so people know, the Aragorn dude broke his foot or something
He actually broke a toe when he kicked the helmet. The scream was real. Funny story
Ok. but did you know that Leonardo DiCaprio in Django Unchained...
Good artists borrow; great artists steal; real men carry things
as a person who hasnt seen any of the 4 movies mentioned in this skit, i really liked it thank you
I told my brother my fav film is King of comedy, and he asked if that's the 'Joker rip off '
WOAW
Ah yes. Ripping off a movie released 35 years after yours was!
It should be illegal for a Joker fan to speak publicly.
@@andrewnotgonnatellya7019I know the exact amount of time it takes to have a baby has passed, but... Before*
@@QuackersMcCrackers Far less time than it takes for me to respond; "after" is accurate. The person saying King of Comedy is a Joker ripoff is saying that King of Comedy ripped off a film that released 35 years *after* it (1983 - 2019)
Taxi Driver would later take a lot of influences from Joker
It was king of comedy/ taxi driver, even murray make a little reference saying that he practiced on his mom basement like in KOC
@@robertoinzunzamorales1844 Nah, it was fight club directed by Kurosawa
The world would be a kinder place if people heard someone enthusiastically telling them things they've just found out as "I'm super excited about this thing and want to share it" instead of "I am challenging you to an ego-duel"
I would say it has more in common with the movie Penguins of Madagascar seeing as they are both movies.
I noticed your channel name is actually a reference to The Age of Innocence (this story written by martin scorsese) and at one point Newland Archer carries a thing. Very intellectual reference there Mr. Carrying Thing
In fact, Edith Wharton wrote Joker too. People overlook that Ethan Frome is actually Joker.
@@dashap111 Fun fact, The House of Mirth (also by Wharton) is actually a prequel to joker (the titular house is actually the funhouse where joker learned his first joke)
@@ColorOfPomegranatesEnjoyer Ohhhhh, thus the new joker musical
Acshaully the story was written by Edith Wharton, and it was based on her book of the same name, the script however was adapted by Martin Scorsese
@@tcrijwanachoudhury whaaaaaaaaaaaat
Man Carrying Thing, you and Rupert Pupkin are truly my role models please keep up the good work!!!
im not worried at all
Nice to see someone reference The King of Comedy
if you pay close attention, the fourth wall break in this video is actually a very subtle reference to the MCU (which is Marvel Cinematic Universe, for those who don’t know), which invented fourth wall breaks.
Bravo, Man!
Actually they were invented and patented by Arthur F. Wall when he accidentally tumbled on to the set during a play.
as someone who just got my major in Film Fanology this vid is super relatable, good stuff Thing Man 👍
I love this shot-reverse-shot style of the video is such a callback to that old movie, The Dark Knight. All film fans should see it. Widely considered the best movie of all time.
He did the classic fourth wall break, coined by cult classic films such as Deadpool and Deadpool 2!
Wow this is exactly what I love to say after watching the Joker. Thanks for the relatable content.
These two have such good chemistry
I heard a rumor that they touched each other inappropriately . Bodies were explored .
i’ve learned that movies don’t need to be the only thing I talk about! i can also talk about TV shows and maybe the weather or something
Movies, TV Shows, Films, Series, Cinema, plenty of topics to talk about
@@e.d.1642 the cinematography!!
Literally overheard the King of Comedy talk in a movie store just a few hours ago. Uncanny timing.
Holy hell, a movie store? Did you come here from the 2000s? Can I come there with you?
@@PopfulFrost what was that? a rental or something?
@@PopfulFrost Ha, like a used movie store in the city. They're still out there!
whats a movie store?
@@vyrxcx it's like a TikTok that smells like sweat and old plastic
I thought this was going to be about how every edgelord thought they were being deep by just saying, "We live in a society!"
And then there are those who reply with "Sadly, its true. 😔" every fucking time.
I can go on roasting how predictable this pattern is, but I'll be taking up more than several days worth of typing anyways.
So true bestie. Keep slaying
ok
Slay all day king (ur shit is hilarious girlboss)
When this film came out the guys at uni were going on and on about the use of Gary Glitter’s “Rock and Roll Part 2” in the film, I did tell them the same music was also played in Disneys classic 2005 masterpiece “Ice Princess”
I do find it interesting how in the USA Rock and Roll part 2 is played in quite a number of TV and film like US The Office, simpsons etc. But isn't in UK TV or Film because Gary Glitter was discovered to be a se, x offender so is a big no, no over here to play in media. But Americans don't have a clue that happened, so just play it willy nilly.
@@Alex-cw3rz Dude, we know. Most of us just don't give a shit. Happy music, happy sounds in my ears more important than kids who were probably illegal immigrants to begin with. Something like that.
@@BriarLeaf00 is this meant to be a joke?
@@Alex-cw3rz I mean, most people over the age of like 45 know who Gary glitter is and the fact he's a monster, his shit also gets played in stadiums all over the country, noone really gives a shit. The rest was quite obviously a joke, I don't really know how else to pull that apart for you?
It's also the song they use in every commercial for my local home improvement show.
Joker took a lot of inspiration from Killers of the Flower Moon actually
Can you see the clowns in this picture?
Theres actually some truth in this. My parents didn't let me watch most movies as a kid, so when I finally started watching good stuff I had the WORST takes on them and would constantly talk peoples ears off about it 😂 everybody's gotta start somewhere so it's best not to judge and instead try to recommend and inspire
I thought it was gonna be about the clocks all being the same time, and that kind of "did you know viggo broke his toe" type of fun fact where everyone is just RUSHING to be the one to say it.
I love how you're carrying the skit like that movie about the blue aliens and the comedian guy.
Oh you did the acknowledging of the forth wall break like Deadpool.
Why would I steal a sign? Didn’t you hear I got jumped! 😅😂
i'm all for people getting into art, it's the smugness that's annoying
They're getting into it to become part of a culture, not to learn new things.
All knowledge is empowering, often at the cost of humility
"Hop into Spruce Moose Smithers" will always be my favorite quote from Scosesce's Aviator
Joker is canonically the Hangover 4
I had a big discussion with my friends about Scorcese inspiring Joker and also the Coens today that's fucking wild
thought he was gonna say Goncharov (1973), it really is an underrated masterpiece
points tumblr user
"is that the coen brothers?" is such a perfect line for this character
Something something Taxi Driver
This is my favourite video on youtube
If you think about it hard enough, Joker reallt is a sequel to Gladiator(2000). Both movies clearly share the same themes of jokes and gladiators and according to my google search Joaquin Phoenix is an actor in both movies. They are clearly the same movie.
This is exactly how part of the discourse was when Joker came out. 😂
the rest of it was every mainstream media outlet begging for a 'joker shooter' that never happened and palpably lvid that it didn't
I always saw joker as the baby of taxi driver and the king of comedy
Actually Joker 2019 is a beat for beat ripoff of a Japanese movie from 1966 called Kimba The White Lion
I'm starting to wonder if Man Carrying Thing just wants to share his movie trivia knowledge but feels the need to do it in skit form and just before I finish this comment I hear "And you all learned something from this skit"
woah, til. thanks for the rec
I'll say it. This Man really helped my carry my thing. Just like in the Aviator (I've never watched The Aviator)
I knew a guy who would tell you about how literally ANY MOVIE EVER was either a rip-off of or an homage to this anime or that anime.
The rip-off or homage label was determined by whether he liked the live action movie.
Every TH-cam comment on a video with an actor playing an unhinged character: "He'd make a great Joker".
Jokes aside, It’s a bit of both. King of Comedy and Taxi driver. Hence Robert DeNiro’s casting itself as a reference.
We truly live in a society, where movies can be inspired by other movies.
*I love when Man Carrying Thing said "It's carrying time!" and carried all over the place. Truly one of the most careful channels of all time.*
-Most original TH-cam commenter-
_Most original TH-cam reply_
*Least insane Sonic fan*
-Most normal human being-
yo its asexual blue mouse, what up
When he said "The Aviator", I felt that.
I too consider myself somewhat of a flim flam.
I got to admire that look on your face during the five seconds the first frame was shown as the video was still loading.
A truly great snapshot of... Huh.
"Cinephile?"
"Film fan"
I almost spit out my coffee!! 🤣🤣
I was pleased to see Gravity's Rainbow on your shelf at 0:53
As someone who hasn't watched The King of Comedy, I'm baffled that the answer wasn't Taxi Driver lmao
SAME.
But at the end, the joker is the best between those other 2 movies. The whole hallucination part with Joaquin Phoenix throughout the movie is crazy.
the man who laughs movie is what inspired Jokers character
Joker is a controversial film, but Joaquin Phoenix/Jared Leto did a phenomenal job portraying this character. He's more than just a madman. He's gone crazy due to all the hardships he had to overcome but truly impacted or affected his mental state.
I'm gonna take this as a genuinely serious comment and ask: Jared Leto? Is he included because he also played The Joker in the 2010s, or is it because you may think that Leto and Phoenix are the same Joker set in the DCEU?
The king of comedy is more of a dark comedy than joker and the mane characters personalities are completely different if anyone is wondering
i was half expecting him to say goncharov
I thought he was gonna say The Master. Clearly, the true Joker was the way we friends along the made.
No shade on Joker, which is a good film, but it really is the art film for people who have only watched summer blockbusters. Because of its comic book roots, all these people who'd never normally watch those artistic films suddenly got really into it and thought it was the greatest piece of art ever made, and that watching it made them true cinephiles.
Yup. Joker fanboys are deluded. Nothing wrong with letting them in on a bit of true kino knowledge 😎
See the joker is like the aviator because they both kept a collection of piss jars and did a funny dance while walking down some stairs
thought he was gonna say "we're film bros" LOL
They seem like good fellas
Most casual comment readers may not realize this, but Mister Rhombus here is in fact making a reference to the classic 1990 film Goodfellas, directed of course by the Coen brothers.
They're the real JOKERS 😂😂😂
sais le jokère
Reminded me a lot of Taxi Driver.
It's a Paul Schrader character, defo
Can someone explain, that Aviator joke really FLEW over my head.
Did you know that _Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban_ contains numerous cinematic references to both _The Breakfast Club_ and _Stand By Me,_ because Cuarón wanted it to feel more like a growing-up and coming-of-age film than children's fantasy?
Of course you didn't. Because that's wrong.
The name of the movie is Adam Driver
0:19 I love how both of them pronounce it wrong lmao
I was about to be that guy who clarified that it wasn't Taxi Driver, but I'm so glad you could sneak in being that guy for me.
You did say After Hours....right?
Bro we're all feeling it
"Bring in the Clowns" is actually a song about clowns.
This feels like a video that should've come out 3-4 years ago
Joker ending explained: those names were the people who worked on the movie
Someones been watching video essays 😂😂😂
I thought Taxi Driver, and then when he said the king of comedy I was like: "how didn't I think of that?"
I was sure the dude was going to talk about taxi driver and I wanted to comment about king of comedy as well. Looks like he’s always 3 moves ahead from us
usually these convos stop at just mentioining the fact that it kinda is based off these and oftentimes with a smug face as well. what would be interesting to hear is where it does deviate & feel different and unique and it does feel different to these mentioned movies.
Yeah, I love these guys. The people who basically read a few articles about the "Taxi Driver" and "King of Comedy" references (and multiple others) and start talking about it. I've run into a few of those people and it becomes clear very quickly that they've never seen a Scorsese film in their lives, let alone the films that influenced *those* films.
I thought he was gonna say "Taxi Driver".
"No Country for Old Men is actually a postmodern take on the Good the Bad the Ugly"
As someone who really liked Joker. This was the most annoying part of when I tried to talk about the movie. (Especially Online).
Some Asshole had to jump in to claim that Joker was practically a remake of Taxi Driver and King of Comedy.
As if I haven't seen those movies.
Yes, Joker has stylistic similarities to those movies.
Tod Philips made no secret of the fact that Joker was inspired by Martin Scorsese film.
But Joker also has a lot of differences with those films.
But most important of all. Even if Joker has similarities to those movies. I don't care. Just let me talk about the movie with other like minded people.
My favorite line in The King Of Comedy is when he yells _”Hey I’m walkin’ here! I’m walkin’ here!”_
“Cinephile”
What did you call me
“Do you wanna know….how I got these sc-“
“All my life I wanted to be a Joker”
To be fair, there are some things that you could argue in ways aviator influenced joker. Like the use of color and technique in how that color was applied, while sure even with king of comedy the uses of red blue and yellow are constant, but even in the aviator a lot of colors render as blue red or yellow throughout.
I think that it's not completely far fetched to say, while it was obviously way more influenced by the king of comedy, especially in story telling and both living with a mother we never see, and clearly mentally ill loners obsessed with a talk show host. I think that doesn't take away from the fact a lot of the same techniques were brought over as well
You fool, Joker and Taxi Driver are separate, Joker doesn't drive a single taxi
