Joker - Seen it (No spoilers in the OP)

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 today. Without showing in China.
