It was mostly just a twist on 'funny'. Low brow humor but that's what counter heckling has to be, going as dirty and mean as possible to throw the heckler off and allow the comic to get back to the show.
Joker occasionally has memories of a woman who was always smiling, even when things were hopeless, who loved that she could make him laugh. He puts a little EXTRA effort into crime when he has those particular...hallucinations.
There are a few who AREN'T moving away, either for fear of trapped seats, love of street theater, or...hey, Piper, would Joker think to have plants in the audience?
"How is a snack bag flat?" Joker answers, irritated at the little man continuing to speak. "Ugh that sounds like one of Eddy's early riddles. We get it you're stealing an elephant from Gotham Zoo! Guess what, SO DOES BATMAN! I love him, I do, but Riddler just hasn't been the same since they stole his whole shtick do to those 'SAW' movies. Can't decide if he wants to be Central City or Gotham City, you know?"
The heckler interrupts again. Joker's pause is a bit longer this time, and then he really LOOKS at you, Piper. "Speaking of Central City, I think I recognize that red hair and 'look how thrifty I'm dressing, fellow poors!' fashion sense. Hartley, is that you? Quick let's check, what do you use to beat the fastest man alive? Is it rats? Just a lot of rats?"
Meanwhile the bartender raises an eyebrow at the accusation, wiping a glass. "Lotta people who work at a comedy club like to smile, pal. Cides if I was a Joker thug wouldn't I have poisoned your drink a'somethin by now? Club policy is if a supervillain wants to put on a show we indulge 'em till the cops show up, keeps the body counts lower."
