* VillainSue: Joker fills just about every requirement. Even his 'defeat' in Season 1 is only a temporary setback, he still gets everything he wants, and receives no punishment for any of his constant murders.

Given the Anachronic Order of the scenes being shown, it\'s possible that scene immediately follows the earlier one.


*** Batman's plan to slip in: Let himself get stabbed, take a short nap while people are dying all over the asylum, and then wake up and walk around....with a ski mask on.

** It doesn't help that the guards are total idiots without guns. When the loonies start breaking out, all the guards do is scream, cower and run...from unarmed inmates. If they had guns, the breakout would have been much shorter. Furthermore, thanks to the clown filming everything in part 1, there would have been video evidence of the bum working with Joker. So, when he showed up to give Joker a cake, the guards logically would have taken him down. But no, they happily hang out with him and let him slip Joker a fork to escape.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: The series as a whole functions as such.
** The ending of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3DVWE_5gGY "Hypnotized (5)"]] qualifies.
** 17. [[spoiler: "You know what they say about payback, right? It's a bitch ''puddin''."]]
** The story Joker tells Pearl about how he got his scars. The awesome part is how it seemed so natural that it could have very well been inserted into ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' itself.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Several.
** The end of the Joker's hypnotherapy session with [[spoiler:Dr. Hugo Strange]].
** "If this works, and I wake up, and my pants are off..."
** "This is Steve. Say hi, Steve."
*** "...He's shy."
*** "And here's a lovely picture of your wife...I'm in the wrong office."
** [[AttackAttackRetreatRetreat "Wake up! Go to sleep!"]]
** The end of #15; [[spoiler:Arkham sputtering that there was a shotgun in the trunk the whole time they've been riding around. Including when ''he'' was in there.]]
** [[spoiler: After escaping the Joker in Episode 16, Dr. Arkham wildly runs to a cop car he encounters while running through the streets. His exasperated reaction when he sees who's driving the car is just priceless.]]
** Episode 17: Jack Ryder's "interview" with Father [=McHale=]. "Are you lookin' at her chest?"
** Also in 17; "Is that video still up? Damn you, 4479!"
** Several in Episode 15, as well as everything Theodore the Bum says.

* NightmareFuel: Some of Joker's acts (especially in episodes 12 and 14) are downright terrifying.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Do you really think it\'s that out of place for Joker to absently sing something silly to display how flippantly he regards the terrible things he does and the tense moments he creates? It\'s not like he stopped the car, got out and started dancing the cabbage patch or something. Also—we don\'t use Fetish Fuel examples anymore.


* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: At one point, the Joker and some other people are in a car. In between some deadly serious seconds of footage, there's a brief scene in which Mister J insists on singing [[Music/LadyGaga "Juh-juh-juh-Joker face, Juh-juh-Joker face."]] And that's the last the viewer will ever hear of such songs.



* FetishFuel: The Joker eating an apple in episode 6. Just look at the comments!

These aren\'t YMMV. Moving.


* ContinuityPorn: The news ticker for Episode 18 is an uninterrupted, unapologetic string of {{Mythology Gag}}s, and it can distract you from the main video.



* MoodWhiplash: After the tone of the series has been consistently faithful with the realistic seriousness of ''Film/TheDarkKnightSaga'', Further Evidence #4 spends its second half showing a very cartoonish argument between [[spoiler: Lock-Up and his ex-girlfriend over a webcam]]. The acting is so bizarre and over-the-top that it feels more like something from the time JoelSchumacher was in the director's chair. Consequentially the video received a shockingly large number of down-votes.
