It's been over a week since the highly anticipated release of Joker starring Joaquin Phoenix, and people are still squabbling over the controversial film. While there haven't been any violent situations at any of the film's screenings, there have been an insane amount of memes about the film. One of the most prolific Joker meme formats has been 'Joker Getting Hit By A Car,' and it's getting some hilarious updates involving Dennis from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. We've put together a gallery of some of the fresher auto accident memes to come from the film, and we hope you love 'em as much as people love to freak out about this movie.

The weekend is our time. Time to say f*ck the man, time to do whatever the hell we want. That could mean mowing the lawn, going out with friends, risking your life while seeing Joker or just scrolling through memes. If you choose the latter option, we've definitely got you covered with this gallery.
Old or young, smart or dumb, pretty much anyone can agree that this assortment of memes speaks the truth and is relatable AF. This batch features the perfect combination of fresh memes (Hello, Joker), classic themes (the pains of being in school) and even a dash of dark humor.
The Joker hit theaters just last Friday and boy has it caused a stir among the masses. The most noteworthy of all of the backlash has been the concern that the film may incite violent behavior, namely in the incel community. The US military sent around a warning that the film might inspire some to replicate the 2012 movie theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado.
On a lighter note, please enjoy these memes!
As people are getting super stoked for the release of Joker we're seeing a whole lot of content revolving around the beloved villain. While we did enjoy the "Tickets for Joker" meme we covered yesterday, this one is a little more our style. The template is shockingly versatile, lending itself to self-deprecating memes to academic memes. And we're all about it.
People are starting to get really excited for the October 4th release of Joker. While people have already been linking the film to the Gamer Joker/We Live In A Society memes, folks on Twitter are seriously riffing on the stereotype that cringey incels are the film's target audience. The memes are taking the form of a photo (this one of fedora'd up dudes got us) paired with some variation of "Four tickets to Joker, please." The photos are ranging from absurd (Kanye West and Lorde) to nostalgic (the vampiric studs of The Lost Boys), but they're all pretty damn amusing.
The final trailer for October 4th's Joker film released last week, and people seem to either love the idea of the film or love to relentlessly mock it. We're still waiting to see if he says "We live in a society," but before we pass any judgments, we're definitely enjoying these fresh memes that have been popping up all over Reddit. The meme pairs Joaquin Phoenix's deranged, dancing Joker with emo Peter Parker, and is being used to depict any sort of deranged and celebratory situation. It does remarkably to evoke the demented glee of Oompa Loompas when something shitty happens to an arguably innocent child. While the memes are fun, they're quickly disappearing from the r/dankmemes subreddit, so we recommend you enjoy them while they're hot.
