The Joker/Funny

I am a clown, after all!

The Hostess Fruit Pies ad of long ago, where he stole a kid's report card.
- The best part of that is, if you didn't know it's a fruit pie ad, it's totally believable for Joker to do that in canon just to be a dick.
Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth is a very dark, very mind-screwy, and very scary comic. Nonetheless, seeing the Joker slap Batman's ass is unbelievably hilarious.
The entirety of The Batman Adventures #16:
- Life in the world of comic book publishing:

"But I just draw! I can't write!"
"Write?! It's a comic book!"

- Mistah J, disguised as an ice cream vendor in the dead of winter, has this exchange with a kid he's about to kidnap:

Joker: Ice cream! Bomb pops! Hey, kid! How about some ice cream?
Kid: Ice cream? But it's freezing out here.
Joker: Well then, how about a violent abduction instead?
(Joker's goons grab the kid and stuff him into the ice cream cart headfirst)
Joker: Ah, what the heck. Take both, my treat. It's the season of giving, after all.

Another for the Joker, from Joker: Devil's Advocate:

Amoral Attorney: I don't want them to think you're guilty. The city's case is weak. You could walk if they can't pin the murders on you.
Joker: It's a no-brainer, Milt. Just prove I'm crazy and it doesn't matter if they connect me to some poisoned stamps.
Amoral Attorney: Oh, it's that easy to show insanity?
(Joker slams face into a metal table without the slightest hesitation; brings it up to show an unflinching grin and a face speckled with blood)
Joker: It's THAT easy.

Detective Comics #826 - all of it.
This little gem from Steve Englehart's Dark Detective mini:

Joker (After being threatened to drop out of the race for Governor by Two-Face): Who does he think he is? Who two people does he think he is? Trying to influence an election... this ain't Florida!

The Arkham Redemption.
From Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?:

Harley Quinn: "I can't believe he's gone."
Joker: "I can't believe he didn't die when he first dressed like a giant bat and jumped off the roof."

This quote from Batman: Cacophony:

"All I want is to have a good time! And to annoy Batman whenever possible. And to one day murder Batman and defile his carcass sexually. And a pony."

Lest we forget of a certain magic trick.
John Arcudi's "Auteurism" (Legends of the Dark Knight #162-63) has several of these for Mistah J, but the crowning one has to be this line he delivers to a henchman who - surprise, surprise - thinks that Joker's latest plan makes no sense.

"If I explained it in terms that a fly could understand, maybe the fly can explain it to you."

The Batman the Brave And The Bold episode Joker: The Vile and the Villainous! In his own twisted way, Joker's the hero, teaming up with the Weeper so Gotham can be safe for Criminals once more. By stopping Batman from building the Bat-Probe, a device which tracks crimes as they happen. Hilarity Ensues.
Two Words: Joker's Boner.
Joker's finishing move in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is just perfect.
You're a mean one, mister Joker...
And the video game Batman: Arkham Asylum has him, in a thong (in word only, but still).
