The Joker/YMMV

A contentious issue? Moi?


 * Accidental Innuendo: For some reason, a guy just can't seem to go on a boner themed crime spree without people giggling about it decades later.
 * Alas, Poor Villain:.
 * Can't Unhear It: Regardless of which version of me you think is best, Mark Hamill's interpretation is the one you'll hear in their head when reading my lines.
 * Complete Monster: From time to time.
 * Crazy Awesome: Admit it, laughing fishes were an awesome idea. Pity it didn't work.
 * Creepy Awesome: I'm quite possibly the most terrifying person in the DC Universe. And you love me for it.
 * Crosses the Line Twice: Line? LINE?! BAH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!
 * You showed me a line, I snorted it.
 * Crowning Moment of Funny: They don't call me the Clown Prince of Crime for nuthin!
 * Now with its own page, kiddos!
 * Depraved Bisexual: Sure, Bats might be my true one and only, but you so much as look at Harley the wrong way, and I'll knock your teeth out! And maybe hers, too!
 * Also, there was that one time I was a woman in the '60s, Thrillkiller.
 * Draco in Leather Pants: Well whaddaya know? I'm a hit with the ladies!
 * Yes, fellas, I see you too. Now take them creepy pictures off the Interwebs, pronto.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Oh, you like me! You really like me! I'd like to thank the Academy, my agent... Batsy, darling, you're my rock... oh, and all the little people I crushed to make this dream come true! HAHAHEEHAHOOHOOHOOHAHA!
 * Foe Yay: Of the century, folks. Nothing YMMV about it! Batsy darling and I were meant to be together like this, two peas in a pod! Of course he's in denial, but perhaps he's simply unaware he has feelings, since someone has yet to enlighten him of the concept of Foe Yay on his trope page.
 * Funny Aneurysm Moment: Oh, aren't they all? Though reading about those times when others have tried to steal my idea of copyrighting a lifeform of my own design had me giggle. If someone as clever and handsome as me couldn't pull it off, what makes them think they can? Wait, what do you mean, they did?!
 * Ho Yay: I did have that fling with one of my mooks in "The Devil's Advocate" now, didn't I... And he's lucky just his legs got broken. After all, the only one I want is Bats.
 * Magnificent Bastard: You're too kind!
 * Memetic Mutation: My "Joker Face" from Batman the Animated Series has turned into a forum Image Macro for many a Violation of Common Sense or firm grasps of the Idiot Ball.
 * There's also nearly everything that spewed out of my mouth when Heath Ledger became me.
 * Memetic Molester: I'm this because of some fans' views on what happened in The Killing Joke, despite Alan Moore saying I did not touch Jimmy Gordon or his daughter in that way. Given ol' Beardie's other work, kinda hard to believe him. On the other hand, in my self-titled graphic novel, there was Jonny Jonny's ex-wife...
 * Misaimed Fandom: Ledgie's me was the page image for a time. Still… you don't read my stories for Batsy now do you?
 * Moral Event Horizon: Crippling Jimmy's daughter? Bashing in Robin's brains with a crowbar? Blowing Sarah Essen's head off? Something else I've missed? I've performed so many atrocities that it's hard to say when I completely damned myself. And you love me for it!
 * Oh, wait, everyone! I just remembered! I sold my soul to that Neron guy, that's when! Damn great cigars I got!
 * Never Live It Down: If that stooge from Atop the Fourth Wall is any indication, it's been over fifty years and people are still laughing at my boner. Honestly! Can't a man make just one mistake?
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: Sure, we try and beat the crap out of each other whenever we get together, but truth be told, I consider ol' Batsy one of my closest pals.
 * Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: One bad day. That's all it took. That's all that separates good people like you from monsters like me. Way I figure things, any world that lets a guy like me live deserves to die.
 * Assuming something actually did happen. I am crazy after all.
 * WTH? Casting Agency: Who the hell thought that casting that gay cowboy as me was a good idea in the first place? In hindsight though, it worked very well.
 * And admit it, if you heard Luke Skywalker was playing me over Tim Curry back when Batman: The Animated Series first aired you might not have been very happy at first. But again, this worked out VERY well too.
 * And then there was the time Data was cast as yours truly. This one was a teensy bit more contentious, eh?
