The Most Painfully Bad Movies of 2016

[00:00:00]on behalf of the planet Earth every 4th of July. [screaming] >> If Roland Emer ends up making a third Independence Day, I would not put it past him to bring back Bill Coleman in his cartoon ghost form from the Casper movie. Believe it or not, folks, but there was a time not long before 2020 would happen that 2016 was once considered one of the very worst years in humanity's recent history. due in part to all the beloved celebrities and entertainers that we lost seemingly [music] every other week and day that year, ranging from Prince Rogers Nelson to Princess Leia. In fact, I remember feeling so personally depressed by the end of 2016 that I didn't bother going to the theater or renting on streaming to watch many of the flicks you Jo viewers voted as that year's top 10 worst movies. Well, aside from me suffering through all three interminable [music] hours of the ultimate edition of Batman v Superman. But now that a decade has passed and I could say my mental health is in a far better place, I've decided to not only repost my top 10 [music] worst list from 10 years ago, but finally sit through all 10 movies on that list through all the streaming services I can find in [music] order to give you my own personal ranking at the end of that old video. And much like how the late great Sam Neil had a mental breakdown in a movie theater watching In the Mouth of Madness, I myself was on the brink of badness spending the past week binge watching the very worst flicks that Hollywood had to offer just a decade ago. Whether it was Kevin Smith and Ben Stiller each starring in and directing a comedy sequel that nobody was asking for, or Kevin Spacy reaching what we once innocently thought to be the lowest point of his career. And of course, the disappointing dual [music] debut of the DCU, which had many audience members joining Superman [music] in painfully crying out for their mother's mother. But one movie you are not going to see reappearing on my re-ranked list is the number two pick Paul Beg's Infamous All Female remake of Ghostbusters, which I certainly didn't love upon finally watching it, but certainly didn't find it anywhere close to the childhood destroying disaster that internet [ __ ] made it out to be, especially now that we have two slightly better sequels to Ghostbusters with the original cast like everybody wanted. Hell, even famed Ghostbusters fan and YouTuber James Rol of Cinemaser agrees with me that the 2016 remake isn't all that bad of a movie. And that guy nearly had his career and life destroyed for just saying that he didn't want to see the goddamn thing. So, you'll have to wait till the end to see which underwhelming comedy sequel I replaced Ghostbusters 2016 with instead.

[00:02:51]But first, let me present my original video from 2016 about what readers thought were the top [music] 10 worst movies of that year. Back when movie audiences and Hollywood executives were all blissfully unaware of the threats [music] to come from the rise of streaming services and future AI programs, which can now generate Will Smith [music] into the events of that Independence Day sequ to make it only slightly worse in quality. Sometimes [music] I'mma act bizarre.

[00:03:21]Peace.

[00:03:22]>> I'm Jesse Shaden. On behalf of the Joblow YouTube network, let us Pokemon go to the polls and [music] celebrate the Cubs winning the World Series in this Harambe Morning episode of Awfully Good Movies.

[00:03:39][music] Hey gang, Jesse Shade from Awfully Good Movies here. And though we've made countless memes about how awful the events of this past year have been, we've completely forgotten about how awful some of the movies were this year as well. Well, I'm here to remind you with a countdown of the worst movies of 2016. And much like last year, we had our awesome readers at joo.com take a poll on what was the worst movie they've seen this year. But last year when Jurassic World made the list, a lot of you guys were in disagreement.

[00:04:10]>> [ __ ] you. [ __ ] you. [ __ ] you. But we understood your criticism and want to protect our democratic process from internet trollery. So what we did was add the IMDb and Rotten Tomato scores for each of these movies and divided that sum by the percentage of our readers who voted for it. And though our list has been rearranged accordingly, these top 10 worst movies are still the ones you guys chose. And if a movie you liked ended up on this list, that's perfectly fine. After all, my job is all about loving supposedly bad movies. And it's the job of all movies to elicit unique and different opinions from everyone who sees them. In other words, all I ask you out there is this.

[00:04:47]>> Can we all just get along?

[00:04:49]>> [ __ ] you.

[00:04:50]>> So, without further ado, jolo.com and awfully good movies present [music] the top 10 movies you help pick as the worst movies of 2016.

[00:05:00]>> Sorry about that.

[00:05:01]>> Number 10, Nine Lives. When the trailers for this flick came out, people thought this was some sort of Tim and Eric sketch gone rogue. A movie about Kevin Spacy is a heartless businessman turned into a cat by Christopher Walkan so he can learn to be a better father from the esteemed director of the Men in Black and Abs family movies. That idea has been done already in too many damn movies. And the guy starring in your family comedy is two-time Oscar winner Kevin [music] Spy. From House of Cards to Meow of Cats. How the hell did this happen? Well, turns out this movie was originally pitched by the studios executive as an adult comedy in the vein of Woody Allen, where you can't even hear the cat's thoughts. But between his pitch and the film's release, it was rewritten as a wacky family comedy where you can hear the cat's thoughts. Nailed it. The studio executive died of cancer 3 months before the film was released, and the few people who did see it scoffed at its absurd script [music] and cartoonish CGI feline. So, it looks like we will be getting 10 lives after all, or even seven lives, where Kevin Spacy would have reunited with Brad Pitt.

[00:06:01]What's in the litter box? What's in the litter box?

[00:06:04]>> Poop your boxes.

[00:06:05]>> Number nine, yoga hosers. In the '90s, Kevin Smith became a loud voice in the independent cinema movement with his low-budget comedy, Clerks. But while his fellow indie directors have matured and grown with their newer movies, Kevin has been steadily going backward, ranting and raving against critics who dare dislike his increasingly weirder movies.

[00:06:23]From Copout to Red State to Tusk to this spin-off of Tusk about two snotty Canadian teenagers fighting off Nazi sausage monsters played by Smith's daughter Harley Quinn Smith and Johnny Depp's daughter Lily Rose Melody with their dad starring alongside their daughters in heavy makeup. And as delightfully weird as the concept of Nazi sausage monsters trying to take over Canada sounds, the final product was just a self-indulgent mess which even Smith's most hardcore fans turned their backs on. But hey, Kevin Smith is still a very funny, down-to-earth guy as a podcaster. But as a writer and director, the dude needs to put down the weed, stop doing movies about Canada, and start making focused and coherent movies that not just his family and friends will find funny. And his next movie is a parody of Jaws, where he replaces the shark WITH A MOOSE. GOD DAMN IT, KEVIN. NUMBER EIGHT, BOO, a media Halloween. Ever since introducing her on stage in 1999, Tyler Perry has turned his media character from a stage sensation to a film phenomenon. And after Tyler took a three-year break from India to become a serious actor, he was inspired by a joke made at his expense in the Chris Rock comedy Top Five.

[00:07:28]>> It's where Media gets trapped in a haunted house.

[00:07:30]>> And thus, over a mere 6 days of filming, Tyler Perry gave us Boo, a media Halloween. And much like the other media movies, it may have made an enormous profit, but critics turned its nose up at the usual Tyler Perry blend of wacky slapstick and deadly serious religious melodrama. But as someone who has yet to see a media movie, I won't dig into Tyler Perry too hard. The man has overcome a lot to make an entertainment empire, one which entertains its fans.

[00:07:55]And besides, I'm the kind of guy who watches Ernest P. Whirl defeat [music] trolls with milk every Halloween. So, who am I to judge you for liking media?

[00:08:03]>> You see why people? [screaming] >> Number seven, Zoolander 2. Speaking of classic comedy, Zoolander has proven to become a cult classic ever since it underwhelmed at the box office in the wake of 9/11. And in the 15 years since its release, people have been coming up to Ben Stiller and pleading with him.

[00:08:20]Yeah, the Zoolander was really funny.

[00:08:22]Maybe you should make another one sometime if you want it. I I don't really care. And this year, America's requests were finally answered with Zoolander 2. And it was bound to be a smash hit this Valentine's weekend, going up against some dumb superhero comedy starring that Van Wilder guy. Who [ __ ] cares?

[00:08:39]Yep. Deadpool pretty much decimated Zoolander 2's chances that weekend along with the brutal reviews that complained about the incoherent plot, the shameless repeats of the same gags from the last movie, and an endless amount of celebrity cameos which couldn't top the last movie. I mean, it says something that David Bowie and Gary Shanling would rather literally die than come back for Zoolander 2. So, in the end, Zoolander 2 was a sad excuse for a sequel that put the blue in blue steel. Number six, Gods of Egypt. You would think a new movie from the director of The Crow and Dark City would be cause for celebration, but when the trailer for Gods of Egypt came out, it was instead caused for controversy because for a movie about ancient Egyptians who were black, there sure were a lot of white people in it.

[00:09:20]Oh, but hey, we got Black Panther in the movie and we clothed him a bunch of times, so that counts as a black cast, right? The subsequent uproar forced Alex Pyus and Lionsgate to apologize for their error, but not the shitty quality of the actual movie. No matter what race the actors were, this movie had enough problems already. Namely, the rubbery CGI that looked worse than a God of War game and the hammy performance of Gerard Butler, who's probably wishing he'd agreed to that 300 prequel after all.

[00:09:47]>> This should be my reward.

[00:09:50]World.

[00:09:50]>> And after the movie tanked with critics and audiences, Pyus went to his Facebook page to call the film's critics a pack of diseased vultures pecking at the bones of a dying carcass, which is a pretty accurate description for this movie. So, what did we learn, Hollywood?

[00:10:03]Stop pretending Egyptians were white guys and don't let your directors have Facebook pages. Number five, Fifty Shades of Black. Last year, you guys voted Fifty Shades of Gray as the second worst film of 2015. And that film's ridiculous dialogue and overroought sex scenes should have been prime material for a parody movie in the hands of Mel Brooks or the Zucker brothers. But in the hands of Marlin weigh-ins, whose family used to be associated with some of the best spoof movies, but is now associated with some of the worst, you end up with a spoof almost or equally as bad as its source material. Thanks to its racially charged jokes that came off as just plain racist and infantile to audiences of all colors. And with a new Fifty Shades of Gray movie coming this year, it doesn't look like there will be another Fifty Shades of Black to accompany it. Oh, and to top it off, this was also the final movie for Florence Henderson before her death later this year. Yeah, I'd love to see the Oscars play this movie during her Inmemoriam segment.

[00:10:55]>> I thought all you black men had rhythm and a big dick.

[00:11:03]>> Number four, Batman vs. Superman Dawn of Just And you're already writing the angry comments before I even finish the segment, aren't you? But before you do, you have to admit that for a movie which was supposed to kickstart a DC cinematic universe that would compete with Marvel, this wasn't the home run Warner Brothers was hoping for. I mean, most of us agreed that Ben Affleck defied all the skepticism and made one hell of a Batman, coming a long way from the ashes of Daredevil. But for some people, Zack Snder continuing his dark approach of Superman from Man of Steel was even more ill-fitting than last time. For others, the screenplay was a jumbled mess of force exposition meant to hype people up for the Justice League movie, but in the process forgot to tell a story for this movie. For a few, Jesse Eisenberg's performance was less Lex Luthther and more Jim Car's Riddler. Granny's peach tea, anyone? But for many, Batman and Superman stopping their fight just because they find out their mothers are both named Martha.

[00:11:55]>> Why did you say that name?

[00:11:56]>> Was an antilimactic end to this long-awaited clash of the comic book titans. And though it made a lot of money in the face of horrible reviews, it was still an underwhelming return.

[00:12:05]Thankfully though, DC looked prime to redeem itself with its other movie later that year, which sadly leads us into number three, Suicide Squad. Yes, with DC hiring David Heir to handle this story of Gotham City's baddies teaming up to act as government mercenaries, they look to finally wipe away the disappointments of Man of Steel and Batman vs. Superman and get this cinematic universe back on the right track. And good news, the movie made more of a profit than Dawn of Justice.

[00:12:32]The bad news, the reviews were even worse. You see, after Dawn of Justice's dark tone proved too much for a lot of [music] people, Warner Brothers decided to hire the company that edited Suicide Squad's trailer to re-edit the movie and match the funnier tone of the trailer.

[00:12:45]But with the film's underdeveloped characters, juggling active plot lines, and a mess of a third act battle, not many people were laughing. And though Margot Robbie earned a lot of praise for bringing Harley Quinn to life, Jared Leto's Joker was pretty underwhelming considering all the heavily publicized methods he used to get into character.

[00:13:02]So whether you like the DC movies this year or not, it's clear from the amount of people who voted it onto this list that a lot of people were disappointed.

[00:13:09]And we can only hope Wonder Woman and Justice League can come in next year to save the day for DC. Um, but what about the conspiracy by Rotten Tomatoes to >> say Rotten Tomatoes again. Say Rotten Tomatoes again. I DARE YOU. I DOUBLE DARE YOU, [ __ ] SAY ROTTEN TOMATOES ONE MORE GODDAMN TIME.

[00:13:24]>> WHY did you say that?

[00:13:25]>> Number two, Ghostbusters. Yes, no movie got the internet matter this year than the Ghostbusters remake, replacing the biggest male comedians of the8s with the biggest female comedians of the 2010s.

[00:13:36]When this movie was announced, director Paul [ __ ] was no longer the beloved [music] creator of Freaks and Geeks and Bridesmaids, he was now FGO, destroyer of childhoods. And even when original stars like Dan Akroyd and Bill Murray agreed to cameo in the movie and even praised it, internet commenters called them traitors. But when the overly dramatic [ __ ] fit thrown over this movie boiled down, a lot of people just thought it was a bad movie. It's hard to recreate that special magic the first movie had. And when you've got a remake that claims to do its own thing, it has cameos from the old Ghostbusters cast as new characters and yet references the other movies.

[00:14:10]>> I ain't afraid of no ghost.

[00:14:12]>> You're stepping in your own way. And with the disappointing box office, it's clear the improvisational style of movie comedies nowadays doesn't work with a carefully structured movie like Ghostbusters. But hey, some people liked it. And now your daughters have an excuse to stop dressing like a princess every goddamn Halloween. So, let's put the anger aside cuz at least we're not getting a sequel to it. And it finally gave High Sea [music] an excuse to start making Ectoer again. And now to reveal our number one suspect for the worst movie of the year.

[00:14:42][music] Independence Day Resurgence. 20 years ago, Independence Day was a blockbuster phenomenon which became the highest grossing film of the year. made Will Smith a movie star and audiences declared the next [music] Star Wars.

[00:14:56]Well, 20 years later, after Roland Emer got sick of ripping off Independence Day, he thought it was time to just make a straightup sequel to Independence Day, complete with all the surviving characters coming back. Bill Pullman, Brent Spiner, Jeff [ __ ] Goldblum. They even managed to prop up the still fresh corpse of Robert Loia right before they found out that he was dead. However, Will Smith was already busy enough juggling two crappy movies.

[00:15:19]So, they killed off his character and replaced him with his now grown son, thankfully not played by his actual son, and Liam Hemsworth, the Frank Stallone of the Hemsworth brothers. And though the first Independence Day managed to overcome its corny script with Big Willy's charisma and those awesome special effects, the bland new characters and unimpressive CGI effects in the sequel just reminded us of how dumb that last movie was in the first place and how much dumber this sequel was. So with that, the Independence Day franchise did go quietly into the night and did vanish without a fight. So it looks like it's not going to live on and it's not going to survive because today we celebrate the worst movie of 2016.

[00:15:59][music] And there you have them, the movies which you guys helped make the worst films of 2016. Maybe you'll see me tackle one of these flicks next year on Awfully Good Movies every other Wednesday here at the YouTube channel of joblow.com. Until then, I'm Jesse Shay for jo.com and here are the runners up for America's Funniest Worst Movie. Here we are nearly 10 years later and I still don't know why I ended this video with a reference to America's Funniest Home Videos. Well, at least it serves as a tribute now for the late great Bob Saget. one of the few shocking celebrity deaths which shockingly did not occur in 2016.

[00:16:38]So now with our reader voted ranking of that year's top 10 worst movies out of the way, I shall now share my own personal ranking along with my brief thoughts on each of these 10 terrible flicks from 10 years ago. Number 10, Suicide Squad. Of course, James Gun's 2021 sequel, [music] The Suicide Squad, would prove way better, but its infamously terrible predecessor [music] was for me both better and worse than its reputation suggested with plenty of promising moments and performances amongst this squad, particularly a pre-slap [music] Will Smith as Deadshot and Margot Robbiey's perfectly cast Harley Quinn having to unfortunately contend with such fatal flaws as Jared Leto's obnoxious portrayal of the Joker.

[00:17:24]David Ay's corny [music] attempts at tough guy dialogue.

[00:17:27]>> Normal is a setting on the dryer >> and a soundtrack of overused beetle [music] drops ranging from queen to Eminem that suggests a more appropriate title for this movie would have been Spotify squad. Until the day comes that David Ayer finally gets to release his fabled [music] director's cut, I can say that the theatrical cut of Suicide Squad is at least an occasionally entertaining mess compared to the disastrous future of the DC EU to come.

[00:17:55]>> You don't want no beef. You don't want no beef.

[00:17:57]>> And speaking of which, number nine, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Now that Matt Reeves and James Gun have respectfully done way better by Batman and Superman, there is no longer any excuse for how wrong Zack Snder would get these characters in the service of his absurdly grim dark vision of the DC universe. Sure, I still think Ben Affleck is an underrated Batman, but I have never liked Henry Caval's Sullen Superman. And having these two face off in a superpowered dickmeasuring contest with Jesse Eisenberg's utterly miscast Lex Luthther [music] in between allows Snider to indulge in his worst instincts as a director and screenwriter for over two and a half tedious [music] hours or 3 hours if you watch the Ultimate Edition. Even with appearances from the wonderfully cast likes of Jeremy Irons's Alfred Pennyworth, Lawrence Fishburn's Perry White, and yes, Gal Gdau's Wonder Woman back when she had fooled us all into thinking she was a real actress. As a satisfying sequel to Man of Steel or an exciting debut for the DC EU, I think Dawn of Justice remains a failure on both fronts, no matter how many Snider fans in the comments want to keep insisting otherwise.

[00:19:16]BUT THE BELL CANNOT BE UNGRUNG.

[00:19:19]>> Number eight, Gods of Egypt. Now, this is the type of crappy movie that would have become a legitimate cult classic had it been made with practical effects in the early8s alongside Flash Gordon or Clash of the Titans. But as a 2010's era blockbuster that was meant to kick off a franchise, Gods of Egypt's god awful CGI effects looked legitimately like that of an early 2000's video game instead of a movie from The Crow and Dark City director Alex [music] Pyus with its laughable script from the future screenwriters of Morbius and Madame Web not allowing any of the distinguished cast members to walk away with their dignity with the exception of the late great Chadwick Boseman as one of the few actual black actors here getting to play an Egyptian. And with Alex Pyus recently announcing that his first film since Gods of Egypt will be made with the assistance of AI, I doubt that Mr. Pus's career will ever recover after how his last movie was a betrayal towards the gods themselves.

[00:20:27][screaming] Number seven, Nine Lives. Yes, folks.

[00:20:31]The wacky family comedy starring twotime Oscar winner and future confirmed [ __ ] grabber Kevin Spacy in the hopelessly miscast role of a heterosexual billionaire tycoon being transformed into a cat by Christopher Walkan in order to learn how to be a better father to his kids and a better husband to his beard or I mean wife Jennifer Garner.

[00:20:53]It's a dated premise from a 60s era Disney movie that's directed obnoxiously like a Disney Channel original movie by the once respected Barry Sonnenfeld in his final film to date that has none of the style or wit that he brought to get Shorty or the Adams family [music] and where Spacy spends most of his time offcreen narrating his kitty cat form with all the enthusiasm of testifying for his future assault [music] trials along with shockingly adult references to alcoholism and suicide for a PG comedy and a typically wonderful Christopher Walkan more or less reprising his character from Click along with Gods of Egypt. This is the kind of bad movie that I would love to do a full review [music] for someday. A film that was for Kevin Spacy's career what Ghost Dad was for Bill Cosby's. And I sure as hell do not mean that as a compliment.

[00:21:49]Got to show them I'm human.

[00:21:53]>> Number six, 50 Shades of Black. Even though I found this year's scary movie reboot to be a major guilty pleasure, I sure cannot say the same of this earlier spoof movie from lead weigh-in brother Marlin Weighins alongside Scary Movie 6 director Michael Titties. where despite all the potential that they had mocking the first 50 Shades of Gray movies terrible quality, the final film proves to just be a flimsy excuse for Maron Weigh-ins as Christian Black to riff on all his instantly dated stand-up material and mug for the camera as frequently as possible. And yet, he is somehow only the second most annoying cast member here, right behind the actress who plays the wigger roommate of the movie's Anna Steel equivalent, who reaches Rebel Wilson levels of insufferability.

[00:22:44]Aside from a slight chuckle or two on behalf of weigh-ins alongside Jane Seymour as his snoody adopted white mom, Fifty Shades of Black is as much of a poor excuse for a spoof movie as 50 Shades of Gray was a poor excuse for a romance movie, but has so far thankfully not been followed up by a sequel itself by the title of 50 Shades Blacker. Thank God for small miracles.

[00:23:15]Number five, Bad Santa 2. That's right, folks. I am replacing the Ghostbusters remake on this list with an even more underwhelming 2016 follow-up for a classic comedy, which I watched last year for a potential review during Christmas in which Billy Bob Thornton's drunk Santa and Tony Cox's Angry Elf somehow put their differences aside from the last movie's failed holiday heist to reeame over a decade later alongside Willie Soap's equally orary mother played by Kathy Bates to rob a Chicago children's charity. While the first Bad Santa was largely helped by the assistance of producers and co-writers [music] Joel and Ethan Cohen, Bad Santa 2's entirely different team of writers makes this feel like a cartoonish sitcom rehash of that first movie's realistically dark humor. right down to Christina Hendris demanding the first film's [ __ ] me Santa treatment from Billy Bob and his young sidekick from the first film now returning as a grown man who is somehow significantly dumber than when he was a kid.

[00:24:20]>> Darlene says I should put butter on my hand, but that's stupid. Hand isn't food.

[00:24:25]>> The [ __ ] is wrong with you? Much like all the worst comedy legacy sequels, Bad Santa 2 does nothing that the first film didn't already do better and proves a largely depressing experience that makes you want to rewatch the original afterwards to watch the bad taste of this sequel out of your mouth.

[00:24:44]Especially since Bad Santa 2 ends with an end credits montage of Billy Bob whipping his balls out to give Tony Cox a taste of his French fried potatoes. I don't know what you're talking about. I have no idea what this [ __ ] is.

[00:24:59]>> Number four, Tyler Perry's boot. A media Halloween.

[00:25:04]>> You got to drop the damn hammer. Drop the hammer. Whoop my ass. Whoop my ass.

[00:25:09]Whoop my ass. Whoop my ass.

[00:25:17]>> Yeah, this movie is terrible. It's It's just [ __ ] terrible.

[00:25:22]Maybe you know damn well you got a prostic.

[00:25:27]>> Number three, Independence Day Resurgence. Roland Emmerick's 20 years too late sequel to his 1996 [music] sci-fi blockbuster suffers from two particularly fatal flaws. The off-screen death and subsequent absence of Will Smith and its embrace of fully CGI effects instead of the first film's partly practical ones. But it also doesn't help that most of the newer actors and characters [music] in this legacy sequel all have the personality of cardboard. Particularly Jesse T.

[00:25:57]Usher playing Will Smith's far less charismatic grown son long before Jesse demonstrated actual talent on the boys.

[00:26:05]While our returning actors such as Gold Bloom, Pullman, or Vivica A. Fox are all relegated to the background or killed off in unintentionally hilarious fashion. And the far more interesting story of how humanity adapted all this alien technology from the last movie is all but entirely ignored in exchange for more of the [music] same old [ __ ] While the original ID4 remained a July 4th favorite during its 30th anniversary this summer, there have been very few people on social media doing the same thing for the 10th anniversary of Resurgence. And that, my friends, is for very good reason. We are going to kick some serious alien ass.

[00:26:49]>> Number two, Zoolander 2. As a huge fan of its predecessor myself, Zoolander 2 is a majorly limp let down of a follow-up from returning director and star [music] Ben Stiller, who has since said he was going through some personal [ __ ] with his wife and kids during this sequel's production and especially after its disastrous reception. There's also a lot of other stuff going on in my life.

[00:27:13]That explains why the sequel has a clichéed plot setup where Derek Zoolander tries to bond with his aranged son after the off-screen death of his real life wife, or why Stiller shares none of his usual onscreen chemistry with the also returning Owen Wilson. And especially why part two relies on so many excessive celebrity cameos and unfunny new characters instead of crafting any actually new jokes. I mean, if a Christina Hendris sex scene was not able to make Bad Santa 2 any better, then what the hell do you think it does for the quality of Zoolander 2? As for Will Frell's return as Bugatu in the film's final act, he's mostly just doing all his mega gay stick from the first movie, but done far louder [music] and subsequently far less funny, which is honestly true of most of this movie's jokes, with the admittedly hilarious exception of seeing Ben Stiller getting stabbed in the face. No matter how many familiar faces or repeated gags it brings back from the first movie, Zoolander 2 is still just as much of a justifiably forgotten sequel for a cult classic comedy as Catty Shack 2, Dumb and Dummer 2, and well, Bad Santa 2.

[00:28:33]And speaking of number two, my number one personal pick for the worst movie of 2016, which was ranked number nine on the original list by our job readers.

[00:28:43]Goddamn Yoga Hosers. Godamn Yoga Hosers.

[00:28:48]It's hard to believe it has been a decade since stoner comedy legend Kevin Smith had reached [music] a creative low point dressing up as a broughtworth Nazi to co-star in this spin-off movie from his 2014 horror comedy Tusk after which we have not only seen Mr. Smith giving up the excessive eating and weed smoking that was hampering his career after surviving a heart attack in 2018. But we have also seen two of Yoga Hosers's young [music] stars, Lily Rose Depp and Austin Butler, each becoming wellrespected actors and movie stars in their own rights. But the movie itself is just as painfully unfunny and narratively incoherent as it was a decade ago with Kevin Smith unable to write and direct comedy for the next generation the same way he did for his own in Clerks and Mal rats as well as Johnny Depp being particularly unfunny as the returning French Canadian detective from Tusk and these two shallow phone addicted yoga loving teenage girls not being much to root [music] for as lead hero material. And I didn't even get to mention the overusage of Canadian jokes.

[00:29:58]>> Sorry, Lad.

[00:30:00]>> Or the sudden appearance of a goalie golem in the third act. Or Haley Joel Osman playing a real life Canadian Nazi.

[00:30:07]And there were walls and there were doors. Oh, please don't give me an excuse to watch this piece of [ __ ] ever again. [laughter] Don't beg me. I'm begging you. Truly, I think it's up there alongside Jack and Jill and Movie 43 as not just one of the worst comedies of the 2010s, but also one of the worst movies, even if it barely qualifies as an actual movie. And we could only hope that Mr. Smith's planned third movie in his true north trilogy, set to be titled Moose Jaws, will remain unmade for another decade to come. In fact, I can only imagine how Lily Rose death would react nowadays if Kevin Smith were to approach her about coming back for that sequel.

[00:30:50][screaming] >> Until next time, this is Jesse Shade on behalf of Awfully Good Movies and hopefully we can do this again next year and me revisiting the reader picks [music] for the worst movies of 2017. Of course, with the exception of me having to sit through Tyler Perry's oo to a media Halloween.

[00:31:15][screaming] >> Happy Halloween.
