Joker Forgot to Say Bazinga

In Joker (2019) nobody laughs at Arthur’s jokes. This is because he never says "Bazinga" so the audience didn’t know when to laugh

A scene from Joker shows Arthur Fleck standing onstage at a microphone, holding notes and waiting for the audience to laugh. The joke contrasts Joker’s dark comedy with Sheldon Cooper’s habit of saying “Bazinga” after jokes, absurdly implying that Arthur’s audience simply missed the cue.
