Fuck me another Joker Origins Fanfiction Story I just want to stick a fork in my fucking eyes if I saw a bad mood.
This is not a origin story of Joker.
No offence, i know killing isn't justifiable in any way but i don't really mind the story, i say let the edgy teens have their fun. Least (i hope most) most of them don't grow up to be school shooters
The sad part is that I actually like the concept of the story. A happy and cheery being given to a kid, but the being turns dark and twisted because the kid was so messed up, I think that is an interesting concept...such a shame that this story is so awful.
It is a unique concept and would give a sympathetic look at the clown character, but the execution was awful. The killings and muders were necessary but they were focused on way too much and became gore porn.
@@nota444tm2 i agree 100% personally I think it should be more like he suffered yes but he has no sense of clarity on his evil actions and murderous ways.
I agree
Can we please... PLEASE... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD... HAVE A MURDERER THAT IS NOT SYMPATHETIC?
CAN WE PLEASE JUST HAVE A MURDERER WHO IS AN ACTUAL PSYCHOPATH?
CAN WE JUST HAVE A MURDERER THAT WE FEEL SCARED OF AND THAT IS ACTUALLY THREATENING?
LIKE, PLEASE! (By "Like please" I meant "Like, can't we do something better"?)
Dominic Dynamite chances of that is small
I personally think such a wish is possible, but futile. I mean, Jeff started as a remorseless killer with no redeeming qualities, _and now look at him...!_
I remember the villain of "Borrasca", "Borrasca V", "I Dared My Best Friend to Ruin My Life" and the "Hyraaq Tobit" series being unsympathetic and iredeemable.
I've got an idea for a creepypasta villain who isn't one of those "sympathize with my character uwu" villains: Daniel McCain.
He is an unsympathetic, unreasonable, unkind sadist who has an obsession with brainwashing people and driving them insane, only letting them out so they can become serial killers. He has no reason, no motivation. He's just a sadistic psychopath. He DOES commit murders himself, but only if he has either failed to make someone crazy, or if he's just bored and needs to fill his inner sadist. The story is also told through the perspective of a friend of Daniel's, who doesn't know of his crimes until he looks in his house one night, seeing him brainwashing someone at the college they went to who went missing. I haven't fully fleshed out the story, but I'll work on it later.
Just look at Joker 2019. He is a sympathetic villain.
This story would've been infinitely more interesting if it was centred around Isaac's experiences in a fucked-up 1800's Boarding-school, slowly but surely transforming him from a shy, frail child to a merciless, psychopathic monster akin to Jack The Ripper; a real murderer that actually existed in the 1800's.
_A case like this was actually real in Brazil. Raul Pompeia was a man who commited suicide in the Christmas of 1895, at age 32, because he was incredibly traumatized from his horrible boarding school experiences (Abusive staff, bullying, homicide, rape, etc)._
I would have been more interested if the writer went all in with Isaac as basically Dio and had Isaac act like Dio.
Agreed
That's sad
YESSSS EXACTLY
Everybody got a Christmas episode but me :(
:(
When are you gonna feature him on your show? He deserves it man!
I am sorry you had to read the Origin.
The Dio/Issac comparison was on point. I'm glad I wasn't the only one to have thought that.
Stand name: [Laughing Jack]
Stand user: ISAAC
>Describes the main protagonist as a less charismatic Dio Brando
Insta-subbed!
Big mood.
Here's how I would've wrote Origin of LJ. I wouldn't even call the story "The Origin of Laughing Jack". I would call it "Laughing Jack: The Opening Act" to sort of reference to how comedians have an opening act to their shows. I'd also make it NOT set in the damn 1800s! I'd set it in like the 50s or something. Laughing Jack wouldn't be a magic kinda imaginary friend, but a reflection of Isaac's inner evil, disguised as a friend. Not a sympathetic cinnamon roll, but a dark, soulless demon, slowly eating away at Isaac's "good" side and making HIM a crazy killer, not the other way around. Laughing Jack would also have more clown-like killing methods. For example, a squirting flower that shoots hydrochloric acid, cream pies filled with venomous spiders, and so on. At the end, Laughing Jack would say something like "You really don't get the joke, do you? The joke that you've been 'innocent' all this time? The punchline is, innocence only exists if we repress our evil. I have taken away most of your reasonable thoughts, leaving only a disheveled psychopath left", before killing Isaac. Honestly it's much darker and makes Laughing Jack a bit more scary in that he was always evil. Honestly, it works MUCH better than this shit.
Ehh I disagree. What you proposed is basically every generic supernatural being/human bond gone bad ever.
@@chaossmith3864 Generic or not, it's still a lot more compelling and scary than this shit stain on the fine cloth that is the horror genre passing itself off as a story.
not great in my opinion but still way better than the real one
"Oh gee, which villains am I gonna use as inspiration for modeling my new character?"
"ALL OF THEM."
Merry belated Christmas Fish, 2017 has been one hell of a year.
Borb of Earth “Yes”
*”I’VE ABANDONED MY HUMANITY ISSAC-KUN!”*
You know with a few changes this idea could have worked.
1. Have Isaac be a normal kid. Maybe on the poorer side but just a normal kid in desperate need of a friend, who when he grows up into a relatively well adjusted adult assumed LJ was just an imaginary friend.
2. Make it so that all that time alone in the box caused LJ to resent Isaac and children in general. Have the dark transformation take place of his own volition not as a result of Isaac. The more he begins to hate, the more dark and twisted thoughts begin to creep into his mind, the more his colors fade.
3. Have him act like the actual dark reflection of a clown he's supposed to be. The balloon animals out of intestines was a start but c'mon! There's so many possibilities here! You could give him a squirting flower that shoots mace instead of water, acid filled cream pies that he throws, have him tie Isaac to a spinning target and throw knives at him blindfolded, shoot him out of a canon, these are literally things I'm thinking of off the top of my head! Be creative!
Tru
I would've rather read your version of the story
Me too
As part of the creepypasta community
I dont know why we like to turn these psychopaths and murderers into cuddle buddies. Sorry bout that.
@S. Z. Confrey exactly
It remind me to how some serial killers from real life have fans
I'll never understand the romanticisation of serial killers in this fanbase either. But it's unfortunately something people tend to do in real life as well, especially if the guys in question are attractive.
@@wadeyhyena1657 most edgy kids worship the Austrian mustache dictator, im not surprised they would simp for edgy murderous emos
Having the Killer be sympathetic can work
AS LONG AS YOU DONT PRETEND ITS OKAY
That’s one of the reasons why the creepy pasta community is so god awful. Horror villains are to be feared, not loved. Its like they completely missed the point of the genre.
@@asapbutters3566 at least the Russian Sleep Experiment and Candle Cove didn't get those treatments.
@@fynnthefox9078 yeah
7:30 you thought it was Laughing Jack but it was I, Dio!
I can't believe I didn't see it before until Fish, literally, point for point, spelled it out, how the kid in the story is just a shitty Dio rip-off.
KONO ISAAC DA!
You tough this was gonna have an original protagonist
BUT IT WAS ME, DIO!
Also, a lot of the stuff in the story wasn’t from that times period. An example: 17:44 Women in the 1800s didn’t wear panties.
Blind Mouse kinky
goes to show the author failed history class
Also in the part where Jack mutilates Isaac, there was a part where he shoves an adrenaline shot into his eye. Adrenaline shots weren’t invented back then.
@@ablosch2452 now imagine a time traveling killer clown
Wait, really
I don't know about you guys, but i think the concept of "an imaginary friend that acts friendly but they're actually evil and hurts kids and people" could have A LITTLE of potential to create an interesting thing.
Like, imagine if he is just a Ghost that only kids can see and he convice them he is their friend, adults can't see him so they just assume he is just an imaginary friend.
At first he is just friendly, playing with the kids and gaining their trust.
Then, he would start to go EdGy and do some creepy things, like inciting children to hurt themselves or to put themselves into dangerous situations.
He could even be like those creepy adults that manipulate children by saying things like "If you don't do this i will stop being your friend!" or "do you want candy? do what i say".
So things go slowly escalating until the kids are basically slaves of their "friend" and THEN its when he kills people and does spooky things.
I think this version could be a little more interesting, or could be just me, i have heard about many stories where kids have creepy imaginary friends like this but idk.
But im not a writter, so i don't know if this is good anyway.
That's just the concept for Mr. Widemouth and some other story where some guy's stuffed animal asks him for teeth or he'll stop protecting him from night terrors.
I know a good Creepypasta like that. Check it out at the link below.

Rule #1 of making a scary story with supernatural elements:
Understand the difference between supernatural and fantastical.
Issac is just Dio, but without all the memes and charisma
And the MUDA MUDAs
Personally i think giving the character a backstory and attempting to raise the depth of laughing jack was a step in the right direction. Character's such as slender aren't interesting to me since the idea is that he is a blank slate devoid of any personality which I guess was the point but honestly it doesn't take talent for a writer to rely on the audience to make up the story for them, and it's just isn't interesting to me for the laughing jack character to fall into the "creepypasta character with no backstory that has no personality." Catogory. I think that trope has wore out it's welcome and is a lazy way of storytelling. I think it could create a lot of potential for the character and make him stand out from other creepypasta characters.
I definitely agree. As a storyteller and writer myself, when I create creepy characters, I like to give them backstories and personalities.
For example, I have a character that is super sadistic and evil. He's a fallen angel that enjoys hurting people. Whenever I write about him, a tend to do it from his victim's perspective, but I always make sure that Blake (Blake is the fallen angel) really shows his personality when he's killing people or driving innocents insane.
Like when he's killing or torturing people, he sort of treats it like a game. He is also VERY fond of himself and cares a lot about his looks.
Back when he lived in heaven, he would always feel quite bored. If one of his friends was going through a hard time or got hurt, he wouldn't feel any sympathy for them, and would actually find it quite entertaining. But he was never honest to himself about his sadistic thoughts, he was always in denial about it and thought something was wrong with himself for a very long time.
Until one day he ventured out of Heaven out of curiosity of what was outside his peaceful world. He bumped into a young demon, but he was too young to realize that demons were bad news.
Blake and the demon talked for hours, it seemed that they had a lot in common. The demon figured out that Blake was a sadistic angel, and offered him a chance to go to hell with him. Blake immediately turned him down. The demon then convinced Blake to come with him and try hurting someone.
After hurting a few people with the demon, Blake realised he was having the time of his life! And wanted more. He then agreed to go to Hell with the demon. Blake then learned how to torture people and drive them insane.
Blake then grew up to be a confident, sadistic killer.
So yeah, that's my OC Blake for ya. What do you think?
This story is just terrible. After reading it I can find no redeeming qualities. Even the main character whom we are supposed to want dead dying is bad because you just get so fucking sick of all the gore
Finn Collicott
It has one redeeming quality, you can send it to someone you hate.
That's actually a pretty good idea
Did Laughing Jack get covered in bleach like that clown from Powerpuff Girls to lose his color??
Ghostie Maybe if we play Love Makes the World go Round, he'll turn back like Rainbow did
@@mental_decay_
... And then we Beat the SHIT out of him and cart him off to Jail anyway!
Robbie Norris Brilliant!
You should watch the first Saw. There's not much gore (most of the worst stuff, like where a guy cuts off his own leg, and a woman has to cut a key out of a man's torso, happens offscreen) and it's more of a crime thriller. If anything, watch it for the stellar ending. The way it handles the final twists is monumentally iconic. It's not a perfect movie, but I think it truly deserves its spot in the horror hall of fame.
Laughing jack is pretty much emo pennywise. Lol
underrated channel
You thought it was Isaac but it was I *DIO*
Another great video as usual. I find my day becoming significantly better once I get the notification that you've uploaded a video.
Listen, I got a Creepypasta for you to check out. Not a good one, of course not. No, this is one of the worst stories I've ever read. The pacing is terrible, the characters are bland, the story in itself is dumb, the grammar is horrendous, (hilariously so) and for some reason it's one of the most popular 'pastas out there.
Fish, I present to you the story of "Judge Angels." Read at your own risk. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
Good choice. Very scary. I have heard of it but never heard/read it. If fish decides to review it, it will be a spookily bad/funny time for everybody!
>killer clown
>not one instance where he makes balloon animals out of a victim's intestines
Wasted potential 😔
porgs?
Huh, never expected you to be here.
Ay
60% lore
40% gore
This story is a 100% snore
Bars
18:47 ik this is too late but you could've used the team fortress 2 characters being killed in gruesome ways. it's not that disturbing with the cartoonish feel of the game
Dio was a f*cking vampire and he was less evil than isaac
so laughing jack is a stando?
I realized ocean man is playing in the background
"But it was me Isaac." LOL
At least Dio's borderline serial killer rampage can be explained that he's a vampire. Isaac's whole rampage becomes absolutely nothing
Did you eat a fuckin dog treat?
Power move.
wait...
a person who dresses up as a clown who goes insane over one bad day (issac getting sent to boarding school) turning him into an evil clown with a wicked sense of humor who goes around murdering people in gruesome ways?
guys i think laughing jack might be similar to the joker
Hey Fish! Great video as always. I got a suggestion for you (Beware, before reading it, for it is painful): Hangman by Kearsey W. It's on creepypasta.com. It's up there in the worst shit I've ever read (not Jack or Jeff level, but seriously horrendous). Here's the link just in case you can't find it: www.creepypasta.com/hangman/
Have '' fun '' (?) reading it...
Merry Christmas and Happy new year!!!
Isaac is CRIMINALLY underrated.
I know right, he's a criminal that should be on the police's radar. Or... whatever that expression was in the 1800s...
The Clown from Dead By Daylight does Laughing Jack’s shtick so much better.
Everything is a jojo reffrence 💔
But fr, this video, even if it is 6 years old, is incredibly true lol. Tysm for making this
I wonder how the guardian angel responsible for this mess took it. Knowing that the deaths of seemingly hundreds of innocent children is on their hands and why they do nothing to stop it
Woooow...Christopher Robin turned it to be a weirder movie than I thought
Talking about gore while a dog and a kitten plays with each other is a nice combo.
Yup
@FishStickOnAStick 0:26 Nice face reveal! 😉
I could rewrite the story to make it more suspenseful than gory. With better character development. I wrote my own story loosely based on it where Jack finds healing and is the king of a vast amusement park that's all illusion. I like horror too but I also like those feel good movies, so I kinda combined the two. And sorry to you and David Near who does a perfect Jack voice but isn't big on love stories, Jack hooks up with and is besties with my main character.
I want to punch laughing jack but I'm scared he'll teleport.
"Merry shitmass"
Sound to familiar where did i heard that ?
This is a wonderful Christmas gift to all your followers! One of my favourite videos on your channel to date!
Great video as always Fish! Also, hope you have a good Christmas m8!
I'd honestly like to see your thoughts on Dogscape or Normal Porn for Normal People, one of those creepypastas that's a strange mixture of good and bad elements. Bad stories wise, Jane the Killer is one worth talking about for just how much it almost fetishizes its main characters and somehow tops Jeff the Killer (though not the 2015 one imo) in badness. It's also a good story to highlight the issues with spinoff stories.
What’s wrong with Normal Porn For Normal People?
I find it funnier that snuffbomb the creator of laughing jack is also a pe##file since he isnt been online after the controversy hes been
It's better to him not be on internet or be locked, Snuffbomb kinda reminds me of Ren & Stimpy's creator (John Kricfulasi) and Dan Schneider (Nickelodeon's boss/staff?)
Seriously I like Laughing Jack he's one of my favorite Creepypasta Characters and his story is one of my favorites in The Creepypasta Series.
LJ is one of my favourites as well! But it could do with a lot of improvement, for example; Jack could act more like an actual clown instead of just a messed-up killer. He could use more circus-like methods and tricks, and act like he's entertaining a crowd of people, cracking a few jokes here and there.
But I'm not going to fuss over it too much. I still very much enjoyed the story, even if it made my tummy turn... Violently! So I'll just appreciate the story for what it is, and enjoy myself.
@@CowMalicious9479
And his design is one of the best looking ones it's way better than the usual way clowns always look.
I also even had an idea for a Don Bluth movie style idea for him too it even sounds like one too.
I still like the story
@@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376 I agree! His design is great! It's much better than the usual design: *Grab a clown and slaps a creepy face on it*
It actually looks scary and dangerous! I'd run away from him anytime! XD
Do more of these reviews please! I enjoy listening to you and I feel bad for you going through these.
I just realized LJ’s backstory reminds me so much of Spinel. Did Steven Universe take inspiration from this?
I hope not
Seriously we got stretchy powers, clown/jester motif, created to be a best friend for someone who outgrew them, waited for years for them to come back even though they abandoned them, became evil and got a emo design because they were abandoned (Though it could be argued that LJ got his murder stuff from Isaac becoming a murderer)@@KoriParker-iz9pv
You thought it was just a young boy, but it was I Dio!
The way he said ''pure evil'' is so funny
Laughing Jack is an interesting concept put into a horrible character.
The reason why I said that there is potential for Laughing Jack to be even scarier then Slenderman but its autistic writing is what kills.
how did those doggie treats taste
Jane the Killer when?
I can't write a good horror story so I just put blood and kids getting murdered
see also dating game and squidwards sueweeslide
Great video Fish. I've been thinking about this story for a while.
Wtf why does beardless fish look like my little brothers autistic friend
Bro is shaggy he ate that dog biscuit like nobody's business
18:40 is the only thing I enjoy in these stories
American Psycho is an anti-hero done right, if you even want to call a serial killer a “hero.”
I think the Starwars prequels are a great example of a prequel done well.
There are so many little details and foreshadowing in the movie, plus if you know the characters then their “cheesey” deliver is almost always meant on purpose.
I personally have no problem with melatonins, they didn’t remove any mysticism of the force for me.
The powers and abilities are still the same but with an extra idea of “power levels” cuz that’s how it was meant to be understood as.
That and the idea that anyone can use the force, they just need to be intune enough with themselves to use the full power of it.
Luke beating Vader (even if he was holding back) is way cooler cuz of that idea.
The people who shit on the prequels misunderstand so much about them and bitch about the littlest things.
Now with Origin of Laughing Jack, there is no foreshadowing at all.
Stuff just seems to happen, it would be cool if the kid treated Jack like how the kid did in the original.
Maybe having vents like a dream and the mom finding out about Jack but reversed.
You could have done some really cool ideas with this but no it’s pretty basic.
Thanks for bringing the video back, man!!!
2:01 Nice shoes Though
It’s also like Stephen kings it but terrible
You what would make this origin better make laughing jack a demon who disguise himself as a friendly clown just to make Isaac a villain only for Isaac to take the blame for when the police finds him if you ask me that is way better than this origin story
lucaschannel7 2 Yeah, it really reminded me of one of the remake version of The Stephen King’s “IT” movie with a mixed of Nightmare on Elm Street movie just to top it off to make the story a lot more terrifying and a lot more suspense, like by turning into something that is unholy from chapter 2. Or maybe turning Issac’s dreams into a living nightmare because Laughing Jack’s rundown carnival is an actual purgatory, just to torment Issac until he’d slowly go insane by playing pop goes the weasel music playing repeatedly over and over again.
Everybody is talking about laughing jack but nobody is talking about the good boys at the start
Merry Christmas, Fish. And have a Happy New Year.
Wondering if you could review the tommy taffy series? I'd honestly like to see how you feel about it.
Hey fishstickonastick will you do a review on the sinner there’s eight episodes
I surprised you've made throught this. I thought you can't stand gore.
“Horror is fun”
..well that’s just objectively wrong. If you’re laughing or having fun more than you are scared or disgusted, that’s not horror.
Why don't you have more subscribers? You do great video analysis.
seems that squeal stories are not only worst but even LONGER
Whew, it’s been awhile but it’s worth the wait for a video by fish
I do like this story, in some aspects. The point of the story, in my opinion, isn’t really to make LJ likeable or anything. I just view it as a story about the child of an abuser becoming an abuser and LJ following his footsteps. The father and the mother die, but I don’t feel bad about it, and Isaac dies but I still don’t feel bad or anything. I feel bad for LJ’s situation but I don’t feel very sad about his story or anything because I understand and know his original story. I do feel bad about him being left alone but I don’t think he’s likeable and while I don’t know the author’s exact intentions I just don’t see the story in that way.
While I’m not gonna say the story as a whole is good, I just kinda like the Laughing Jack part of it. But it was a pretty fun video and I do see what you mean in a lot of aspects, cool video overall.
About the creator aka Snuffbomb... He's a p3d0
😂🔫
Harry Potter isn’t the same thing! It’s in 1900’s England! B-Baka!
Origin of Laughing Jack can't even do splatterpunk right, it's hilarious.
Oh he's alive nevermind
16:16 _Kaguya Houraisan?_
aww I loved human revolution
From all of those images of Laughing Jack, I just see a combo of Ryuk and Mello from Death Note
Fr Laughing Jack looks like if Ryuk was a goth
Now under $10.00 pounds you can offically own this historically authentic bone chair.
I think this makes Laughing Jack look even worse because the fact that The mom from the 1st one could have also been Jack & she could have killed James & The dog so maybe Jack could be a different personality of the mom's or make Jack an unknown entity.
Note: I like The Star Wars Prequels especially Revenge of the Sith but yes, Fish prequels can work sometimes but I see your point.
You're right, that would've worked better. (Also, I like Star Wars too)
EEELLL SCOOOOORRRCHOOOO!
Many seconds ago I had an idea for a creepypasta about a kid who is down on his luck and then he finds a computer in the woods. When he opens it a giant lizard like demon made of literal code jumps out of the computer and almost kill him but in the end the kid manages to Chase the demon away ends itis revealed that the demon put a curse on the kid before it was killed and the kid turned into a monster and murdered his entire family.
(This entire story is finished And I am thinking about wether or not I should post it. Whadda you guys think)
do you want my honest opinion or do you want my sugar coated opinion?
10:23
LMFAO.
I heard of the origin before the original and I still don’t know about the original
So you're telling me that Laughing Jack is a stand?
as bad as the creator, story, and origin are. I still love him for fandom and nostalgia reasons
So you support a p3d0? I bet you love John K and Dan Schneider too because they were bad people who made nostalgic cartoons
@@JoelitoStrikerthey literally said that the creator was bad. they’re separating LJ from the creator

Messed up an already shitty character?

I actually like the story, but mostly because of how gory it gets. I didn't really feel bad for Laughing Jack, neither did for Isacc. Judging for a gore standpoint, it's great, but for sympathetic caracthers and story, meh.
Right, "Virgin eyes." Jack is _Nothing_ like the human he was gifted to! _(even though he was made to be a lot like that human...)_
_He killed but a single cat, in an honorable duel, and for a noble purpose...!_
... I haven't played Afro Samurai in a long time and I *STILL* can't let that line go. _Screw you, Justice!_ You *_HAD_* to have killed people if you were the Number 2, it's either that or be killed- that's how the damn Headband Wars work! But I digress...
