    Jammin' Music, Tense Action, Creative Story

    Surprisingly front and center for me was the backbeat jazzy tune by Shirley Walker that played when the action began heating up. Check out on Youtube: Sub-Main Title (From The Episode "The Last Laugh") to hear what I mean. Ties in nicely with Danny Elfman's main title song as well as a bit of circus music.

    Stack on top of this episode crazy action scenes from the bottom of a river and the lava of a forge. We get a few Joker puns and snarky remarks for dialogue we know and love from the comics and classic TV series.

    Not a lot of detective work on this DC (Detective Comics) episode as from the opening scene, the whole of Gotham City going insane from laughter was finger-snap easy to figure out by all. With this in mind, the show would be a good intro for new Bat fans.

    'The Joker' Provides Killer Laughs

    The Joker is back already (4th episode presented on DVD), and that's fine with me: he's always extremely entertaining. This time, he has green laughing gas as his weapon. He piles it like toxic waste on top of a barge that sails down the city's waterway and everyone who gets whiffs of the stuff gets the giggles. Unfortunately, it's not funny for the citizens of Gotham because why they are uncontrollably laughing, The Joker and his henchmen are stealing them blind. At one point, The Joker jokes, "This is what a call a sidewalk sale" as he mugs people of their money and jewelry walking down the street.

    Also unfortunate is the news bulletin that this gas leave people brain-dead if they are exposed to it for too long. That dilemma hits home quick when Batman's butler Alfred is affected. Batman quickly dons a gas mask while Alfred is destroying his house and laughing at the same time.

    How will Batman counter this strange attack from the Joker, especially after "Captain Clown" spins him around and dumps into a garbage can and throws him into the river?

    There are lots of jokes (mainly puns), colorful graphics and wonderfully entertaining characters in this episode. I am beginning to fully see why people rave about this animated series.

    April Fools!

    A really fun little instalment. Joker is always a treat when Mark Hamill is involved and 'The Last Laugh' is no different. The animation at times isn't quite up to scratch but the art direction makes up for any lacklustre frames. Lots of fun! although, I do warn you, prolonged exposure can lead to permanent insanity. A decent 8/10

    Another one of my fave episodes!

    It seems Joker (voiced by Mark Hamil) with his goons have hijack a garbage boat to head to a garbage dump island where on the garbage pail it has gas sprayed on it so it would make people in Gotham laugh their butts off and go nuts. Joker with his hooligans commit robberies and it's on April fool's Day which is probably the Joker's favorite holiday. Alfred (voiced by Efrem Zimbalist Jr) has been exposed to the gas and is nearly wrecking the living room and giggling, luckily Bruce Wayne/Batman (voiced by Kevin Conroy) is wearing a gasmask as he must find the Joker to stop him before everyone will die with a smile.

    One of the best Joker episodes ever and one of my all time favorite episodes. I gotta say the music score in this episode is very memorable and has been stuck in my head since i first saw this show on Fox when i was 11. Nice animation, action, intensity plus there's Captain Clown who is one of the coolest robots ever plus Joker delivers such great memorable lines like "You killed Captain Clown, you killed Captain Clown". Fantastic voice acting and even a dose of humor especially from everyone's favorite clown to the butler, it's just that awesome of an episode.

    The clown prince of laughs

    As much as I like Shirley Walker's scoring work on this series, 'The Last Laugh' has never been one of my favorites. That aspect has lived on in my memory more than any other and, even though I still agree with that assessment, it's actually not a bad episode. The Joker is in full-on prankster mode, even as he's stuffing Batman into a drum and sending him to a watery grave. Despite his homicidal intent, the tone is especially gleeful. Batman really does get put through his paces on this one, and it's not a bad (early) Joker episode.

    And the Joker's "You killed Captain Clown" is a nice (subtle) reference to "He stole my balloons!" in the '89 film. What Hamill did with that line was really nice. The man can do no wrong.

    7/10

    • Trivia
      The producers learned a valuable lesson about Broadcast Standards and Practices (BS&P in Batman's fight with the robot henchman Captain Clown. "We found out that we could beat the crap out of him, because he's a robot," said Bruce Timm. "It was great. We didn't know if we could get away with that, but we took a chance. We had Batman pick up a pipe and bash him in the head, and there was no objection."
