History Funny / TheDarkKnight

'''The Joker:''' Ah-ta-ta-ta! Let's not ''[[IncrediblyLamePun blow]]''... ''[We see five grenades inside, all with pins attached together by purple elastic bands and a string around his thumb]''\\

** From the same scene, "See, I'm a man of simple tastes. I like [[StuffBlowinrUp gunpowder, and dynamite, and gasoline.]] Do you know what they all have in common? [[SubvertedPunchline They're cheap!]]

* When the judge and Loeb are being killed, we see Harvey Dent talking with Rachel at Bruce's fundraiser. As he's just [[RightBehindMe mentioning Bruce's name]] in response to Rachel having someone else in her life, Bruce suddenly walks up from behind, locks him in a sleeper hold, shoves him into another room, and wedges the door shut. He has a reason to do that, but it's still gonna throw people for a loop.

''[Bruce swiftly disarms him and takes apart his shotgun without breaking stride]''

* The sight of the Joker wearing a nurse's costume. Not the Gotham General nurse uniform, [[NaughtyNurseOutfit a costume]]. Not only is the thought of a terrorist keeping such a thing lying around just in case seem funny, but the fact that he managed to fool at least one person with it.

* The Joker kills Gambol. He tells Gambol's cronies, "So, which of you ''fine'' gentlemen would like to join our team? Oh. There's only one spot open right now, so we're gonna have... ''[breaks the pool cue in half]'' ...tryouts."

* The Joker randomly grabbing the prawn sticks and champagne glass, spilling half of the champagne before half-assedly knocking it back, at the party.
** And as for the prawn stick, he doesn't eat the prawn, just the ''little decorative flower on top of the stick.''

'''Gambol:''' I'm putting the word out: $500 grand for this clown dead, a million alive, so I can teach him some manners first!\\

* When the judge and Loeb are being killed, we see Harvey Dent talking with Rachel at Bruce's fundraiser. As he's just [[RightBehindMe mentioning Bruce's name]] in response to Rachel having someone else in her life, Bruce suddenly walks up from behind, locks him in a sleeper hold, and drags him into another room. He has a reason to do that, but it's still gonna throw people for a loop.

'''Bruce:''' Sonar Just like a, uh --\\

*** As a GeniusBonus, the Joker actually got the shotgun's capacity right. The bank manager [[BottomlessMagazines fired one more shot than his shotgun should hold.]]

''[Gambol stands up but stops once the Joker opens his jacket]''

-->'''Gambol:''' ''[slams fists down on table and stands up]'' ''ENOUGH'' FROM THE CLOWN!\\
'''The Joker:''' Ah-ta-ta-ta! Let's not ''[[IncrediblyLamePun blow]]''... ''[He opens his jacket, revealing five grenades, all with pins attached together by purple elastic bands and a string around his thumb]''\\

'''The Joker:''' ''(looks as if he's about to say a comeback to Gambol, then changes his mind)'' So - listen, why don't you all give me a call when you want to start taking things a little more ''seriously?'' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Here's. My. Card.]] ''[He leaves a Joker playing card on the table, and backs out of the room, toying threateningly with the grenade pins]''

* WebVideo/TheBalladOfTheNWord is a bizzare "masterpiece" of Liam Bilsky which totally mangles the premise of the original movie to flood it with cheap, outdated memes (mentions of [[{{UsefulNotes/FurryFandom}} Furries]], {{Website/Reddit}}, Monster Energy, [[{{UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush}} George Bush]], [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas LSPD]], and of course the '''[[TheDreaded N-WORD]]''' itself) awful sound and visual quality and other "SoBadItsGood" qualities.

-->'''Lucius Fox:''' [[LetMeGetThisStraight Let me get this straight]]: You think that your client, one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world, is secretly a vigilante who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands. [[TooDumbToLive And your plan is]] to blackmail this person?]] Good luck.

*** As a GeniusBonus, the Joker actually got the shotgun’s capacity right. The bank manager [[BottomlessMagazines fired one more shot than his shotgun should hold.]]

-->'''The Joker''': ''[annoyed groan]'' Could you please just give me a ''minute?!''\\

** There is some [[HilariousInHindsight hilarious]] {{foreshadowing}} in here since, in essence (albeit circuitously), [[spoiler:''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'' ends exactly with this: Bruce 'hiring' someone to replace him as Batman]].

---> '''Bruce''': "This isn't what I meant, when I said I wanted to inspire people."

'''Grumpy''': ''[muffled]'' What the fuck?!\\

'''Grumpy''': ''[pops up, pissed]'' Where did you learn to count?!

*** Contrary to a popular rumor that has persisted over the years, likely because it would be a fun fact if true, [[ThrowItIn Ledger's reaction to the brief pause in the hospital explosion sequence]] was '''''not''''' improvised, and the story was made up. The scene was extensively rehearsed because of the potential danger of the scene, and the pause in explosions was, in fact, planned out by Christopher Nolan to give a dramatic beat and also allow some spacing in the explosions.

* Bruce Wayne reinforcing his [[RichIdiotWithNoDayJob image]] to Gordon after putting his secret identity (and life) at risk with some CarFu by saying the most oblivious possible thing in the situation:

-->'''Lucius Fox:''' [[LetMeGetThisStraight Let me get this straight]]: You think that your client, [[FictionFiveHundred one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world,]] [[RichIdiotWithNoDayJob is secretly a vigilante who spends his nights]] [[BadassNormal beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands.]] [[TooDumbToLive And your plan is]] [[{{BullyingADragon}} to blackmail this person?]] Good luck.

-->'''Fox:''' I must say, compared to your usual requests, jumping out of an airplane seems pretty straightforward.\\

-->'''Joker's lackey:''' ''(to Bruce)'' Hands up, pretty boy!\\
''(Bruce swiftly disarms him and takes apart his shotgun without slowing down)''

---> '''Bruce''': I need a new suit.
---> '''Fox''': Three buttons is a little Nineties, Mr. Wayne.
---> '''Bruce''': I'm not talking fashion so much as function. *hands over diagrams for new suit*
---> '''Fox''': You want to be able to turn your head?
---> '''Bruce''': Sure would make backing out of the driveway a lot easier.

** Bruce and Fox talking (vaguely) about his plan to abduct Lau, leading to this gem.
--> '''Fox''': I must say, compared to your usual requests, jumping out of an airplane seems pretty straightforward.
--> '''Bruce''' What about getting back onto the plane?
--> '''Fox''': I can recommend a good travel agent.
--> '''Bruce''': ''Without'' it landing.
--> ''({{beat}})''
--> '''Fox''': ''(sly smile)'' Now that's more like it, Mr. Wayne.

*** As a GeniusBonus, “Bozo” actually got the shotgun’s capacity right. The bank manager [[BottomlessMagazines fired one more shot than his shotgun should hold.]]

'''Happy:''' ''[turns around]'' What, [[OhCrap no-no-NO-]] ''[Cuts to Bozo in the lobby with the sound of a gunshot]''
