I'm guessing those pretty beefy joists are cantilevered, and the 2x2s are unnecessary. They were likely added for the joke.

It looks like the entire image is tilted, to make it look like the balcony is sagging.

It does have a mild fish-eye to it.

I'd call that bit more than mild, and Unless the top is cropped off, it just looks tilted to me.

Well I think you're right that it's also tilted.

That thing is waaayyy too long to be cantilevered. 24" of max overhang is a pretty typical standard for deck. That doesn't include the roof. Even with that, they would need to have modified the supporting exterior wall to handle the extra load.

The question is when not if it's going to fall off the house.

Most decks don't have 12" joist supporting them..... Plus, the roof appears to be cantilevered as well.

modified the supporting exterior wall to handle the extra load.

Tbh it's hard to tell, it really looks like a house with interesting bones that got wrapped in shitty vinyl in the early 00'. But I'm not seeing any anchoring hardware, so there's a chance that the joists are interconnected with the ones supporting the second floor.
