The Joker has long been one of the most recognisable comic-book villains, and Suicide Squad gave the character a new screen version played by Jared Leto, with a more tattooed, streetwise look and a distinctive, rasping laugh. Clips from the film were quickly picked up by meme makers and video editors, who used the Joker's voice to signal chaos, unpredictability and dark humour. The sound has stayed popular because it is instantly recognisable even without visuals, letting creators borrow the character's menace for jokes, twists and reaction moments.
