Jonkler grew from brainrot edits that deliberately misspell and distort the Joker, pairing still images with out of context phrases and sad music. Fans then grafted the name onto the famous Champagne Supernova lyric from Oasis, released in 1995 on (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, turning getting high into getting jonkler. The edit spread on short video platforms as a mock sad anthem, sitting alongside clips like the sad meow song, and it remains popular because the mismatch between sincere Britpop nostalgia and meaningless meme slang still feels instantly funny to repeat listeners.
