32 Razzie Awards Jokes: The 2010 “Airbender, SATC 2 & Twilight Tussle” Edition

In 2010, the 31st Razzie Awards had to deal with a historical cultural catastrophe: M. Night Shyamalan’s attempt to adapt a beloved animated series and a sequel that made four best friends look like a desert-dwelling nightmare. It was the year of bad 3D, worse accents, and the end of the “Bennifer” era’s shadow.

The 2010 Razzie Red Carpet Top 10: “Fans, Fashion & Flops”

1. The Last Airbender’s “Twist”: Why did it win 5 Razzies? Because M. Night Shyamalan’s biggest twist was making a movie where fans of the original show wanted to vanish into the Spirit World just to escape it.
2. Sex and the City 2’s Vacation: Why did the four leads win Worst Actress as a group? Because the Razzies decided that if they were going to ruin the legacy of the show together, they should share the trophy in Abu Dhabi.
3. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse: Why was it a target? Because by the third movie, the only thing more pale than the vampires was the emotional range of the lead characters.
4. Ashton Kutcher’s Double Header: Why did he win Worst Actor? For Killers and Valentine’s Day—proving that being handsome is not a substitute for having chemistry with your co-stars (or the script).
5. The Worst Eye-Gouging Mis-Use of 3D: Why was this special category created? For The Last Airbender, because the 3D was so poorly converted it made the movie look like it was being projected onto a wet paper bag.
6. Jessica Alba’s Year: Why did she win Worst Supporting Actress for four different movies? Because the Razzies felt she was consistently the most beautiful part of some of the year’s ugliest films.
7. The Bounty Hunter’s Logic: Why were Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler nominated? Because the only person they managed to “capture” was the audience, who couldn’t find the exit fast enough.
8. Miley Cyrus’s Growing Pains: Why was The Last Song nominated? Because it proved that moving from Disney to “serious” drama requires more than just looking sad near a piano on a beach.
9. Yogi Bear’s CGI: Why was it hit? Because Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake voicing bears was a concept that should have stayed in the 1960s or in a dark, locked vault.
10. The Vampires Suck Parody: Why was it a target? For being a parody of Twilight that was somehow even less funny than the actual Twilight movies.
