Halloween Party Becomes Awkward as Third Joker Arrives
Picture this: it’s a Tuesday night, and for some unknown reason you let your roommates convince you to go out. You slip on whatever boring costume that’s been hanging in your closet for the past two years and hit the road. When you arrive, you are shocked and incredibly amused to see two different people both dressed as the clown prince of crime himself, the Joker. It’s obvious they both put a lot of work and money into their costumes and are a little disappointed that a bitch stole their look. After so many incarnations of the clown, you would think they would’ve expected this. At least one is dressed as Heath Ledger’s Joker and the other is more of a Jack Nicholson. Suddenly, the door opens, and in walks a third Joker. For a moment, the party goes silent. This is something that no one expected.
“I don’t get what everyone was so shocked about. Joker is extremely ‘in’ right now, and honestly, I’m shocked we aren’t all dressed like him. There are so many variations of the character that Joker costumes are pretty much accessible to anyone,” said Andrew Campbell, the third Joker to arrive at the party. “The thing that confused me the most was that the two other Jokers didn’t say a word to me. I mean, not saying we have to become best friends, but we obviously have common interests like being bad at standup comedy and falling in love with girls that are completely unattainable for us.”
“Andrew’s a cool guy, but I don’t get the whole clown thing. I thought ‘Suicide Squad’ was pretty sick, but me and my boys went to go see that new ‘Joker’ movie and thought it was totally fucked up,” said Eric Adams, the host of the Halloween party, while in his bedroom sneaking a White Claw from his secret stash. “I don’t wanna kick him out, but I feel like too many Jokers will freak people out - like, what if they join forces? They’d be unstoppable. We’re steps away from that scene on the subway where everyone’s got the freaky masks and looking for blood. Why didn’t he just dress up as something cool like an FBI agent or John Wick?”
The party would never recover from Andrew’s arrival. Most of the attendees quickly fabricated a lie about an exorbitant amount of schoolwork or just silently left when no one was looking. The other two Jokers were among those who left early. Because while they could both accept that they do indeed “live in a society,” they couldn’t be upstaged by the Joker who bothered to buy a green wig instead of using a $3 can of colored hair spray. Partygoers are hoping that the next Batman movie balances out all of this Joker craze. One thing is for sure, and it’s that three jokers stand no chance against three Robert Bat-ttinsons.
