> When they played the clip of his stand up comedy and he said “When I said I wanted to be a comedian everyone laughed at me, well look around… nobody is laughing now are they?” I thought it was a legit funny joke. Then I realized he was not making a joke, just patting himself on the back.

I thought it was another one of his lame jokes, mostly because I’ve heard it before and assumed we meant to know that the audience had heard it before also 😕 I’ll definitely pay closer attention to that on the next viewing.

the " well no-one is laughing now" joke is a classic Bob Monkhouse joke - Brit comic 1950’s - 1980’s

It seems that Joker joins the [billion dollar club](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuq3ezlwcL0) today. Without showing in China.
