The Joker's 'One Bad Day' Monologue: The Killing Joke

The Joker mentally torments Batman with his famous and rousing monologue about a bad day.
Clip from the DC animated film, "Batman: The Killing Joke."

"Because I've heard that before...and it wasn't funny the first time."

Goosebumps.
He destroyed his whole idea with just a line.
That was like "I've been through basically the same as you, but I'm not like you".

[stitches]

"If I was going to have a backstory I'd like it to be multiple choice"
No truer words were spoken. And for those who have seen the newest Joker. Multiple choice seems to be what the movie is going for

[IGNXIII]

Everyone complaining about the speed isn't factoring in context. This isn't Joker making a calm and measured speech, this is Joker becoming unhinged by his own repressed emotions.

Just so amazing, “All it takes is one bad day”, and in the new Joker movie, his portrayal says “I just had a bad day” right before he truly becomes Joker. Absolutely awesome

"Do you ever think about how many times we've come so close to World War 3 over a flock of geese on a computer screen?" Sums up the interent

Batman’s last line here is the most important part of the whole thing. Joker’s monologue has kernels of truth in it, but Batman and Gordon demolish his worldview just by existing, and that’s the real problem. Joker can’t accept that anything that’s wrong with him might be on him, not the world. Of course the world didn’t HELP, but there are always some people who come out the other side of their bad day and move on with their lives. Batman used his trauma to become a better person. Joker didn’t.

I'm here after saw "Joker"
Still accurate

[JCoolPlays]

Batman: *Doesn’t kill*

Also Batman: *Throws a dude into a spike pit*

People hate this so much, yet I would give Hamil an Oscar for this

This is literally my brain everytime I get depressed

[chrisknupp]

Everyone relax about Batman killing somebody. It was only a midget or two. They only count for 1/4 of an actual person. At worst, batman killed 1/2 a person. He is still good.

2:21-2:34 Now I can die happy hearing Mark and Kevin say those lines.

[jazzyj]

you know, even though we know he's completely psychotic, the Joker has had some good monologues.

[abubakrakram]

When he said *_“why aren’t you laughing?!”_* I almost wish he would have said *_“why aren’t you like me?!”_*

"....My point is, ...I went crazy!...." I see no one noticed that when Joker dropped Batman with that crockpot of lobsters (1:44 - Hilarious to me, because Joker started whipping his a$$ with food & kitchen utensils - coffee pot, plate, frying pan - Lol!!), that the lobsters were tied to Joker's past when he was sitting with those gangsters planning the break-in. The gangsters were eating lobsters at the time.

[lukekiely]

I laugh how Kevin Conroy and mark Hanlel have been voicing joker and Batman for years but they still sound the same. As in they don’t sound old or tired. They still sound like themselves

[omegasnake]

when you think about it, what makes this monologue so good...is how true it can be. Think about it, all it really does take for someone to completely lose it is one bad day...one bad day where they lose everything that they ever cared about, one bad day that makes life seem like one sick joke, one bad day that pushes you so far past your breaking point that you go mad as a result...Just One Bad Day...where everything goes

[HeartbreakEsh]

1:43 Goosebumps every single time. The way the tone of the music suddenly changes and the piercing yet slow "I went crazy, " is one to remember 🖤

[GameDoctor]

Most scariest thing about Joker is that he is NOT insane.
