The Joker Roundtable Roll-Call
The hosts introduce a panel of actors who have all played the Joker, ranging from a 2017 film star to a straight-to-DVD 'girly' version and a child actor in a new CBS procedural.
"The Joker is the most iconic Batman villain and maybe the most iconic villain of all time."

The Christian Joker Reveal

Young Joker's Stage Mom and Cue Cards
Child actor Prescott Thomas Carbone navigates the interview while being coached by his overbearing mother via cue cards, which he insists only he can see.
"Don't look at her. She's not allowed to be looked at, she told me."
"Imagine I'm the only one who can see her."
The JQ Timeline: Jesus or Joaquin?
The panel debates the 'JQ' timeline, confusing Jesus Christ with Joaquin Phoenix, eventually deciding they are one and the same.
"I actually I'm a religious man. I go by a different timeline. That's pre-JQ or after JQ."
"To me, they're one in the same. Jesus Christ, Joaquin Phoenix."
Put a Finger Down: Joker Edition
The panel plays a Joker-themed version of the 'Put a Finger Down' TikTok challenge, revealing increasingly dark and absurd details about their respective versions of the character.
"Put a finger down if your Joker is having trouble finding a girlfriend."
"It's so hard to find a boyfriend at the mall."
"Put a finger down if your Joker has a fucked up relationship with his parents."
"I'm in the class sometimes and then in class people I get an F on a paper and I go, 'Yay, I got an F.' But actually it is weird because F is bad."
The Joker Virus Activation
The panel fully succumbs to their Joker personas, breaking the fourth wall to address the audience directly and demanding they timestamp the moment the 'Joker virus' was unleashed.
"Time stamp this part in the video in the comments because the Joker has been let out of the cage."
The 1950s Joker and Career Longevity
Prescott remains stuck in a 1950s-style Joker persona, leading the others to warn him that staying in character too long will cause permanent laugh lines and ruin his chances at State Farm commercials.
"He's a 1950s Joker, which is very interesting."
"The thing about the Joker is if you stay in it for too long, you get laugh lines that'll turn into wrinkles. It'll destroy your career."
Engineers of Chaos and the Poopy Bit
The panel reveals they were actually the engineers all along, playing with the audience's heads before descending into a repetitive, nonsensical bit about 'poopy' and 'piss'.
"Nothing's more fucked up than underpaying hard podcast workers."
"Poopy on piss poop!"
The HelloFresh Ad Read Hijack
The hosts attempt a standard HelloFresh sponsorship read before descending into a demonic 'Joker' voice, revealing the entire ad was a trick to mock the audience's belief that anyone would sponsor them.
"You thought someone would sponsor a podcast like this?"
"Nobody will ever sponsor a podcast like this."
"The funniest joke is the one you can play on the world."
The Hostage Demands and Bisexual Erasure
The 'Jokers' hold the podcast hostage, demanding that Patrick McDonald come out as gay because they claim bisexuality doesn't exist, all while screaming about smiles and frowns.
"Patrick McDonald must come out as gay because bisexuality doesn't exist."
"Make a damn choice. Why so bisexual?"
"We are the Jokers and we are holding this podcast hostage."
The Post-Joker Fugue State
The performers 'wake up' from their Joker possession, confused by the passage of time and their failed careers, eventually finding a twisted sense of hope in the Joker's 'ancient' light.
"What is the Joker if not a light at the end of the tunnel?"
"The Joker is ancient. It's older than all of us."
"I was replaced in my movie. At least you have the ability to play."
