[@wavewingman5993]

Joker's third verse was perfection. Everything from "Don't you lay a finger on my bat" to "a little more PG and a lot less thirteen" all the way to "We live in a society" was marvelous. One of my favorite overall verses ever.

[@mechaCrusader17]

I'm a massive, massive fan of basically every line Joker has in this. Bob Jane Bill Finger is a zinger, but one of my favorites is "when I compare your antics to the fiendish schemes I revel in, they pale like the moonlight you can dance with the devil in." A clear nod to Nicholson's Joker. That and "I'm a Shining man, wink". Of course I also love Pennywise's last verse, with the Cask of Amantillado, John Wayne of John Wayne Gaceys the underground clown posse, and best walleyed rapper since the Notorious B.I.G. All also staggeringly genius.

@@aaronvincent816 a reference to an internet meme that flooded the comment section of most of the Joker movie's trailers.

[@TheAmericanCrusader]

"This is Earth you space demon. We live in a society!" I love how the Joker of all people flipped that line to call Pennywise uncivilized.

[@JoshuaRWorkman]

Joker once said that he only kills when it would be funny, whereas Pennywise kills because he can. Having standards for killing is a pretty warped way of being civilized. Furthermore, he refuses to work with Nazis if he knows they're Nazis, and he pays his taxes on time, so, you know, there's that.

[@TheAmericanCrusader]
