The 2019 film 'Joker,' starring Joaquin Phoenix, sparked a massive wave of internet culture, most notably through the 'Joker Stairs' dance in the Bronx and the 'How about another joke, Murray?' interview scene. These templates typically represent a descent into madness, a cynical rejection of social norms, or the dark humor found in everyday tragedies. The character’s transformation into the Clown Prince of Crime resonates with digital audiences as a symbol of the 'outsider,' making it a primary choice for memes discussing societal frustration, personal liberation, and the chaotic irony of modern life.
