I think I found Heath Ledger's inspiration for the Joker

[IGeNE101]

No

[za1pp]

someone said joker's retard cousins LMAO!!!!!

[davidsomers]

How about Tom Waits?

[WR12MSH]

It all probably makes sense when you're high. Of course, I wouldn't know...I've never gotten high before.

[TheQueenchica]

Yea fuh real, lick those lips....and the movie looks like a movie Heath would enjoy or act in!

[FFFan3445]

Geez, nice find. It's so similar to what you'd see Ledger doing in the movie. :|

[TheBoyCrazies1]

WOAH!!!!!! totally jokers dad!!!

[kahea2018]

LOL ON THE MONEY!

[21Assasin]

@AntiGDYB the what?

[HerrQuixota]

Heath Ledger could have been Kefka

[WanderingCree]

jokers retarded cousin

[bladesofglory12]

@SamuraiSwoosh i though he did the tongue things out of his own habit of regularly licking his lips. like he just dramatized what he normally did

[GovernorLong]

Good ol' George Kuchar. 

[MetalBlasterX]

interesting...yeah looks like the joker's drunk dad...lmao...thnx for posting

[Massacre430]

no need to hate on the movie that much dude

[JediGirlGabs]

o god thts weird!

[dreamextreme7]

pretty damn close.

[knails]

Its just the lip thingy that really makes it similar

[swoj53]

this is from bongwater an shes jus trippin out

[andyrod0077]

the old fart in this clip is the great director

GEORGE KUCHAR!!

RIP Brittany

[Broodkill]

i think thats murderface

[DustinKingFilms]

Nah the only thing was the licking of the lips, and Ledger did that to keep the paint from dryin around his lips. If anything The Joker has more in similarity to The Crow.

[acoojl]

yea. you got it

[ooYumYum]

. . . The only similarity was the creepy old fart licking his lips. Lmao.

[charlieiscool1000]

No i think the fat guy was to horney coz the girl was all alone and he felt like doing her thats y he kept licking his lips nothing to do with the joker

[King2123]

he was a hallucination

[vegasfilms09]

i know this isnt from bongwater cause that movies a stoner comedy,this is a drama

[King2123]

yes it was

[solidcrackerVII]

I think at the end she was thinking "wow... that guy was just like heath ledgers joker...."

[CommanderOfTheSun]

wtf???????????????/

[1imbAl33t]

Nasty old fart!

[Olly777777]

thanks for posting, very similar to heaths joker

[SandBarAndYou]

Beautiful girl.

[pele6922]

Jack Black= 1 to 1.5 star movie tops

[elrich29]

Not even a little.

[mgrchip]

hahaha pause at :34

[dunkinconstruction]

yeah the most interesting part of that clip was zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzz

[030terror]

hahah cool

[greggermyster]

ha ha! I can see that. Especially with the licking of his lips

[yoh622]

Yeah, it does kinda remind me of the joke, but actually i heard Heath said he based him on Sid Vicious... (:

[THELIVINGJOKE]

"This is one of the many random, boring scenes in the movie that don't make any sense."

Don't you just love those?

[FallOfRome101189]

Nah. Not even close. Just in the way he smacks his mouth.

[Hohenheimdelaluz]

in the bucal movementes, but nothing more.

[sittingbull09]

Yeah, that's right after she got raped.

It was a fucking awful movie, even though I liked the acid part, both jack black's acid trip, and luke wilson's acid trip.

[ebze70]

Very similar but his facial movements were a little less exaggerated but he might have seen this scene and got an idea.

[ACira93]

It's the lip-smacking isnt it? Its like seeing an old, unscarred version of the Joker with Jim Gordons moustache xD.

kinda weird aswell having Britanny Murphy in it as many people (including myself) think she should be cast as Harley Quinn in Batman 3

[007g62]

lol sorry I dont sleep

[SilkenWinds]

That DOES kinda remind me of Joker...

[ryangfilm]

Heath said he watched A Clockwork Orange in his trailer and that his Joker was inspired by Alex in that movie.

[Devilofthering]

Well, damn. I was going to say Andy Dick. The voice, messy hair, and mannerisms have a resemblance to Andy Dick.

[Smilinginmygrave]

@ryangfilm He was inspired by Joker from Killing Joke and Arkham asylum: A serious house on a serious earth ( this comic had one of the most scary/sick joker ever)

[rattlerstrike1]

l

o

l

[beanstalk501]

interesting but what is this movie im intrigued if this character has more of a part

[hannesje2]

LOOK AT THE DESCRIPTION, LOL CAPS

[pigfaceddog]

The Reason "The Joker" smacks his lips like that is because he's tounging his scars on the inside of his mouth. Kinda like the way someone messes with their stud when they have their tounge pierced.

[Gopherbassist]

What's that got to do with anything?

[antropov80]

All crackheads smack their lips like that its a common trait. So....

[CxMxAlex]

Wow. Interesting. Still Ledger took it to another level.

[stacyracy]

haha, cool! its the same lip smacking stuff! but heath does it waaaaayyy better!!!^_^

[solidsnake1447]

spot on clockvstrain spot on!

[butteredtoast4ever]

It was more Sex Pistols and his own mind that created it.

[JokerishDish]

indeeeed

...

[oTHREATZo]

lmao

[nymets1999]

good catch

[MaikuxSAN]

What?

A lip licking homeless schizoid ghost?

Brandon Lee/Keith Warren from the Adicts seem like better inspirations.

[sethnuva]

hell yeha! the adicts fucking rock and i can see how heath would get inspiration from him

[MastyrChief]

Sorta, I see the resemblance. Maybe Heath saw this movie and thought that was creepy?

[fixati0n]

What movie?

[CullenDozi]

what movie is that?

[TheVeinProject]

holy crap

[dragonman1205]

oh no its the dad of the joker haha

[butteredtoast4ever]

'You know you remind me of my father!' Is it him?

[kwame2008]

hahaha wtf? out of context?

[JHNL]

hahahahahhahaahahahahaha

[numbcore]

hahahahhahahahahahahah

[snipergoose22]

hahahahahahahahahahahahhaahaha­

[numbcore]

hahahaha lmao you crazy mofo

[sexcmike88]

the joker dad he hated his dad lol

[slugworth99]

random. I think that must have been Joker's dad!

[jayman45484]

hahaha good find.

[00Joker7]

hahaha...nice :)

[PsychoDelicCinema]

HAHAHA totally lol

[BatAnt89]

Sid Vicious was one of his inspirations, i use to know the others but can't remember. he would write down the most horrible things on this planet, like cancer Ex: baby's being born blind and basically thinking of ways it's funny, or not a tragedy. probably when the dvd comes out they will have some notes from him on it

[biggestwwefanlogan]

weird

[ILuvJokerMoreThanYou]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHAHHA­HAHHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!! The weird..licking? Is that slobbering...or is that just my interpretation...HE SAID HE DID HAVE AN INPERATION... I CANT REMMEBER

[zvarnadore]

maybe

[bunone4billy]

hehe a little

[Mattbrain]

This movie's supposed to be a comedy?

[WhySoSerious0331]

I think we finally met the Joker's drinking Dad! lol

[HarleyQuinzelle]

hhahahaha man that is sooo true!!! lol love it!

[Shockedi]

LOL WTF.

I got an idea, have the joker licking his lips at a food ad On tv. Lul.

[iomsoawsome]

Wow, that's almost exact

[MaddDogg81]

it's true

[StreetsOfSonic]

LOL holy shit it's like watching the same character! What is this?

[WajinTom]

LOL LOL LOL LOL YOU'RE EXCELLENT LOL

[PsychoDragonX]

I agree.. I see the similarities. Maybe... Maybe not.. but was that guy in the clip "a drinker... and a FIEND!"?? If so, then yeah... it's the "father" of Heath's Joker, LOL.

Very interesting find and comparison.....

5/5.... 10/10 for eerie & creepy bone-chilling likenesses.

[nicpirateorlando]

That man is scary

[Bobzeaux]

....Huh. Now I'm going to be inspired by Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow and say "That's interesting." O_o

[slasher0630]

yeah he makes me think of him and maybe Heath saw that and liked it but I do know for a fact Alex from Clockwork Orange is one out of 2 or 3 REAL inspirations for Joker

[leeacher2k]

i see it

both

1)nice yet creepy

2)the smacking lips

3)send a chill down your spine

[Homerball667]

you have a point

[mdogg20v1]

lmfao your an idiot

[silverlightsaber]

I really see the similarities. They both lick their lips obviously. They both talk semi-softly. They both make lip noises while they talk. They both have alternating pitches in their voice. They both look creepy (Joker of more so of course). I'm sure this is just a coincidence but it's fun to think that this is the "father" the Heath-Joker was talking about.

[Wh3nYour3Strang3]

Holy shit! You've got a point.

[andistis]

actually, the reason the joker moves his tongue and mouth like that is a disorder called Tardive Dyskinesia. It's a side effect of the long-term use of anti-psychotics, especially the ones that fight schizophrenia.

[DFILMS08]

is this an official reason? could it be that maybe having paint on your face for long periods of time causes irritation?

I always thought he did it for effect.

[Bobzeaux]

"maybe having paint on your face for long periods of time causes irritation?"

I figured it was that too, combined with the irritation of the scars and all. *lol*

[henkman00]

i think i know that guy..

[Chubachus]

lol right on

[TacoTown241]

Well of course there is a similarity, That guy is Joker's damn crazy dad.

[that70sguy2000]

There's something... oh, I know!

The thing they have in common is....

.. they both talked to a girl!

lol just kidding. They get too used to smacking lips (duh).

[hadmiralhackbar]

alisha whitt is like painfully hot.

[SuperWillHatch]

Good find! I doubt it was an influence though

[BubbaTKE]

lol

[gorski983]

I doubt he based that on the joker. Such a brief clip, though having similarities, is still pretty minimal.

All the subtle lip smacking and tongue motions Heath did in The Dark Knight was to draw attention to the Jokers sliced mouth.

[harismulasmajic1993]

Exactly the reason the Joker does all that is mainly because his sliced mouth.

[LouisElegantRequiem]

shee-oot... you're right!

[midianallmighty]

What was this from?

[ettenna93]

hahahaha couldbe

[graveheart1138]

You gotta laugh!!!

[impactplayer09]

i can definitely sense the Joker element. Good find.

[NickStedmon]

Wow uncanny, even the music is similar to the single drawn out buzzing of Joker's theme in TDK (Why so serious?-Hans Zimmer)

[sliderALT]

lol Wow, the lip thing seemed just like the Joker.

[transhuman3030]

Good call, i wonder if Ledger had seen that, maybe a subconscious influence? My guess is just coincidence though.

[djdevil0000]

HELL YEA dude that was spot on

[joelquinto]

yeppers

[mihai4815162342]

Wow, the resemblance is really uncanny...

[jakeskinner52]

holy shit...

[hellstar1221]

His look kind of reminds me of one of the characters in an older Batman movie.

[CurlyHayami]

Wow, the lips licking, the way his head is held low, the voice-ha!

[itsjulio714212]

wtf? lol that's just weird!

[thecrowobarr]

lol awesome!
