  “As far as Mr King goes Im a shining man, wink” is also a flip on how Jack Nicholson played the joker and the dude in the shining

  "I leave scars, guards at arkham..." Skarsgard played Pennywise, so the line can read "I leave Skarsgard at Arkham". Dope wordplay.

  "I'm the poster boy for missing person's posters." Is kinda gnarly ngl

  "You're supposed to be The Man Who Laughs" from Pennywise is a play on the 1928 film "The Man Who Laughs" which served as a partial inspiration for the Jokers character design. A really nice big brain film punch on that one if you catch it.

  "Harlequin of Hate" is not a reference to Harley Quinn- it really is one of his nicknames in the comics, albeit a more obscure one

  "We live in a society" has been a punchline for pretty much anything for a while now. Basically a way to say "the world's fucked but we live in it."

  The “Im a Shining man” bar was cause Jack Nicholson was in The Shining and also played the Joker in Batman 89

  The John Doe bar is so underrated I appreciate you breaking it down. The Joker at times has actually been called John Doe too so it is a little diss at him too (I think it was the telltale series)

  Now this I agree with. I do think Joker gets the single hardest bar with the PG-13 thing, which is incredible considering it's up against the Heath Ledger line, and Joker is all witty and classy in a way that makes his pen stronger in general -- but Pennywise is too mean, too petty and too consistent. It lives in the sewers, what do you expect.

  Two of my favourite brags from ERB are “I’m the John Wayne of John Wayne Gacys” and “I’m the poster boy for missing persons posters”. There’s something so evil about them without being graphic or violent.

  Joker got a hit in when he said <br>&quot;I take smiles and I leave Scars<br>Guards at Arkham will admit&quot;<br>There was an actor named Scarsguard who played Pennywise.<br><br>Additionally, the &quot;We live in a society&quot; was done for the meme. It may have been a Jared Leto thing, but it was the best thing to come from the Jared Leto Joker, and so he&apos;s owning it. Which also kind of takes some of the wind out of the Jared Leto punch Pennywise made.

  &quot;I’m the John Wayne of John Wayne Gacys&quot; is such an underrated bar. If you know the history of John Wayne Gacy, it hits different outside of referencing the real life killer clown. <br><br>John Wayne Gacy was named after John Wayne because his dad wanted him to be that pinnacle of a stereotypical man, so what Pennywise said was &quot;I&apos;m the pinnacle of Killer Clowns&quot;.
