Jared Leto's Joker laugh and line from Suicide Squad, a short villain clip used for menacing entrances, creepy reactions and comic book edits.

This is a brief clip of Jared Leto's version of the Joker from Suicide Squad, centred on his unsettling laugh and distinctive drawling delivery. The sound is raspy, slow and deliberately uncomfortable, very different from other Joker portrayals, with a tattooed, gangster-like menace rather than classic clown chaos. It lasts only a few seconds but instantly signals a villain arriving or someone acting unhinged. Viewers use it to create tension before a reveal, to mock an over the top bad guy impression, or to give a character a creepy, unpredictable edge.

Jared Leto played the Joker in the 2016 DC film Suicide Squad, directed by David Ayer. His heavily tattooed, silver-capped take divided audiences and became one of the most talked about parts of the movie despite limited screen time. Clips of his laugh and lines spread on YouTube, Vine and later TikTok and soundboards as reaction audio. The portrayal stayed in pop culture through memes and debates ranking different Jokers, keeping this short clip in use for villain edits and impressions years after release.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Place the laugh right before your subject walks into frame or turns to camera, and let the short silence after it hang. Pair it with a green and purple colour grade or a slow zoom, and avoid music underneath so the raspy tone stays clear.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Drop before a villain cosplay entrance reveal
  • Use for creepy reaction to unhinged behaviour
  • Add to Suicide Squad Joker edit compilations
  • Play when friend does terrible Joker impression
