In this rich psychological analysis, Cinema Sensei dissects the eerie mystery surrounding one of pop culture's most recognizable sounds—the Joker's laugh. Is it insanity, a persona, or something even more heartbreaking? From the comic book origins of 1940 through to Joaquin Phoenix's unhinged, gut-wrenching portrayal of Joker (2019), the Joker's laugh has been transformed from campy novelty to an icon of trauma, anarchy, and broken humanity. This video investigates the actual psychological conditions that might lurk behind that sinister cackle—most commonly pseudobulbar affect (PBA—) and contrasts depictions by Mark Hamill, Heath Ledger, Jack Nicholson, and others. By looking at how each actor armed or was driven mad by the Joker's laugh, we uncover a disturbing duality: is it a choice, or is it a symptom? With PBA as the lens through which we're viewing, this video smudges the line between reality and fiction. If you've ever wondered what the Joker's laugh meant deeper down, you'll be left speechless—and disturbed—by this analysis.

Ada banyak hal yang bisa membuat tertawa. Namun pemicunya tidak jauh-jauh dari hal lucu, hal unik, hal konyol. Namun, ada juga orang-orang tertentu yang tertawa karena sedih, bahkan karena terluka. Orang-orang seperti ini tidak banyak. Ia tertawa sebagai ungkapan kesedihan tertinggi. Dalam psikologi, namanya pseudobulbar affect, disingkat PBA. Ini adalah suatu kondisi dimana penderitanya tidak menyadari bahwa dirinya sedang tertawa atau menangis. Kondisi ini semakin dikenal luas sejak film Joker tayang pada 2019 lalu. Film yang dibintangi oleh Joaquin Phoenix itu berkisah tentang seorang komedian, Arthur Fleck. Ia tertawa keras saat sedang sangat sedih, dan semakin keras lagi saat hatinya terluka. Di Amerika Serikat, kondisi PBA mulai dianggap serius. Beberapa rekomendasi diterbitkan tentang bagaimana hidup bersama pengidap PBA. Di Indonesia, nampaknya ini masih menjadi topik terbatas dikalangan psikolog. Masyarakat awam masih belum banyak membahasnya. Bahkan, ada kesan orang tidak peduli. Nah, apakah foto ketawa ini karena PBA? Hehehe, coba kita tanyakan pada rumput yang bergoyang di belakang sana. 🤣 #pseudobulbaraffect #PBA #instagrahman #joker #movie (at Malino Kota Bunga) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdN4lWMpiU7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
