The Skateboarding Joker meme is a popular piece of absurdist internet culture that features Joaquin Phoenix’s portrayal of Arthur Fleck from the 2019 film 'Joker' digitally edited onto a skateboard. By taking one of the most somber and gritty characters in modern cinema and placing him in a high-energy, 'radical' context, the meme subverts the dark themes of the movie for comedic effect. It typically represents the idea of maintaining a chaotic or carefree vibe in the face of societal collapse. Since its emergence on Reddit and Twitter, the template has been used to pair the Joker's 'we live in a society' philosophy with the unexpected skill of professional skateboarding, making it a favorite for those who enjoy surreal and ironic humor.
