What sort of unnecessary noises do they make?
II Minor Details About The Museβ Ask Meme // ACCEPTING
I'm sitting and thinking about this question and I just realized that the Joker had invented ASMR before it sort of became mainstream? Remember his videos with Brian and Mike Engel? The Joker was behind the camera and we could hear him breathe, lick his lips, and the sound of his leather gloves gripping the camera. I mean, he really is the guy for the job :D Imagine the Joker running a youtube channel, his asmr videos would gain millions of views!
In the movie we can not only see but also hear the unnerving wet sound of Joker licking his lips, his tongue darting out of his mouth to brush over his lips, snake-like. We know why Heath really did that (to keep the prosthetics in place), but the Joker does that unconsciously, and he is aware what effect it has on people. Just like his gruesome scars, this habit of his makes people around him extremely nervous and uncomfortable.
The Joker smacks his lips. A lot. Especially in pauses between phrases. Do I even need to address the amount of 'uh's and 'ah's he makes during his speech? :D It's neither because he's retarded or his vocabulary is poor. No. It's because his mind runs a mile a minute and he makes an effort to concentrate on his words because he sort of has to go back to articulate and finish his train of thought.
He sucks on his teeth and the insides of his scars while considering things. He hums and whistles tunes only he knows exist. And, last but not least, the Joker laughs. He laughs, chuckles, snickers, giggles, cackles at the things only he might find funny.
