History Pantheon / Laughter

* He is one of the few gods to be defeated by [[Pantheon/GamingStyles the Angry Video Game Nerd]] and is still having a hard time pooping out the shitty Batman games. Because of that, he is often seen with [[Pantheon/MindGames Freddy Krueger]] and [[Pantheon/{{Headwear}} Jason Voorhees]], planning to get revenge on the Nerd.

When he's Emperor Joker, he prefers [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iSYAV2lp5c Where's The Fun In That?]].

* Heralds: his [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] and [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] counterparts

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If2RbK9vUhU There's been a theory]] (sort of confirmed by Batman after he sat on the Möbius Chair) that there has been more than one Joker (three, at least) Batman (and his allies) have clashed with over the years, like the sadistic master criminal of [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks the Golden Age]], the harmless (though bank-robbing) prankster of [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks the Silver Age]], and the insane psychopath of [[UsefulNotes/TheBronzeAgeOfComicBooks the Bronze Age]] onward. Quite obviously, the last one is the one who's ascended right here, though the other two can be seen prowling around in the pantheon, which can catch eyewitnesses off guard.

* For all his powers and malicious acts, he soon realized that EvilIsNotAToy to some deities. After teaming up with Johan and Alex Mercer, the 3 used a zombie outbreak by Richtofen to lure a ghost girl named Erma over, and eventually into the GUAD. Afterwards, they tried to [[BreakThemByTalking turn her into a hateful monster using only their words]] [[MortonsFork and let Alex Mercer absorb her regardless of if it worked or not.]] Unfortunately, they quickly found themselves visited by ANOTHER ghost girl deity; Alma, [[MamaBear whom recently has grown fond and protective of Erma.]] [[OhCrap Upon realization,]] [[NeverMyFault the Joker pinned the idea on Johan]] [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere and tried to promptly haul ass out of there.]] It didn't work, and he was dragged down into the Almaverse along with everyone else in the room as punishment. [[HorrifyingTheHorror He and Johan left the Almaverse completely shellshocked, crying and bleeding as they crawled to Batman for comfort,]] not even caring that he was just gonna bring them over to the house of Pantheon/{{Justice}} to properly arrest them.

* At the dawn of TheInternet, there were very few who could be said to heralded as pioneers of internet content we know today. WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd, Music/TayZonday, WebAnimation/CharlieTheUnicorn—while their contributions may be taken for granted now, those fans who saw them will never forget what joys they brought to them when videos were still stuck in [[RealitySubtext a resolution that forced people’s eyes to degrade]]. However, there were a few content creators that [[SeinfeldIsUnfunny most people look back not so fondly towards]]. The poster fruit for these creators being Orange, [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep otherwise called by everybody the Annoying Orange]]. What started as just a humorous video passed around somehow spiraled into a CashCowFranchise that had Orange [[StrictlyFormula annoy every conceivable thing imaginable]], make a bunch of {{song parod|y}}ies that were really grating, and even a show on Creator/CartoonNetwork! You can say people had an [[HeelRealization about face]] regarding the idea of that they can make money off of videos thanks to him. Alas, those who found Orange hilarious grew to despise the fruit, and like the wind, Orange was retired after—[[NotQuiteDead WAIT, YOU MEAN HE’S STILL AROUND?!]]
