It has potential

Not only does this have potential to be the greatest villain backstory film, but it also has potential to beat the Joker. The character, Melvin, has a lot more going on with how society is treating him. He's a simple man that is trying to surpass everyone, only to be let down by the people he hates and love. Honestly, everyone should watch this masterpiece because it will change their view of how things in the real world works.

Classic YouTube content

It reminds me exactly of what YouTube used to be back in the day. This video is simply amazing. It's very creative, well written and well acted. I wish the Nostalgia Critic would have done more with him but sadly this is the only video of Melvin. I think I can see why everyone hates it, but I loved it. All the jokes were funny. I really enjoyed his mother yelling 'MELVIN!" over and over again. This video describes what YouTube used to be back in the day, made up skits of made up characters, it brings me to a time when life was simple, when making videos was easy but you still had to be creative. With this being said, I give it a 10/10.

Annoying and mostly unfunny
TheLastPersonStanding14 March 2024
"Melvin Brother of the Joker" is not good, but it's not terrible, at least in my opinion. It's about a guy named Melvin, played by Doug Walker, who is indeed the brother of the Batman villain the Joker. Melvin looks specifically like the Joker from "The Dark Knight"... well, mostly. He's not wearing white makeup. Anyway, he talks to the camera because he's making a video blog. He lives with his mother, who's off-screen throughout this film/sketch, but you hear her yelling at Melvin. Dear God, whoever voiced this mother (I don't know if it was Doug) did a terrible job. She's very annoying and not funny. I hated this performance. Maybe you're supposed to find the mother as irritating as Melvin does, but she could've at least had a better voice. Melvin talks about rayguns and, at one point, talks on a cellphone to someone. I didn't really care. Well, at least Melvin's voice isn't annoying.

There are maybe a couple of moments that are a little funny, but even right after watching "Melvin Brother of the Joker", I don't remember what they are. I mostly wasn't laughing. Still, Doug's performance of Melvin isn't bad, I guess. There's a song at the beginning and at the end. It's a bit catchy. About ten years after this film/sketch was released, "Joker", starring Joaquin Phoenix, was released. That film's title character also lives with his mother, which is kinda interesting. It might be a coincidence. The cinematography of "Melvin Brother of the Joker" is so-so. The editing is fine. Like I wrote, it just isn't funny. It's also kinda cringeworthy. I can't recommend it, unless you wanna annoy somebody.
