Is Kingdom Hearts the inspiration for John Wick?! Apparently the Oxbox hiring process is... a little shady? Ellen: For a time, [Ori's] is a good life: endless sunny days, unlimited piggy-back rides, and fruits dropped in your mouth by a giant living pillow.

This, along with his sociopathy, has earned him comparisons towards the likes of The Joker and the Klowns. Though, Simon could only scoff at such observations. After all, people are comparing him to the Joker. If it was an attempt at getting him to laugh then one has succeeded despite it being pretty unfunny. Now, while he's not nearly as bad as the Clown Prince of Crime he still has his sadistic streak.

As for their end, they do find the fact he killed someone with a hot air balloon actually pretty funny.

# Recap.DoctorWhoS14E4TheFaceOfEvil: An ad-lib by Tom Baker to avert what he saw as this led to one of the Fourth Doctor's most memorable, awesome moments. The script called for him to take a man hostage, pull a knife on him, and threaten to slit his throat unless the aliens dropped their weapons. What he actually does in the show is take a man hostage, pull a jelly baby on him, and threaten to kill him with it unless the aliens dropped their weapons.
