It's "The Joker's Comedy of Errors". Everyone laughs at it now because of its constant use of the word "boner", meaning a mistake rather than what it is more commonly used for today. The "mistake" version was used as late as the 1990s, as Homer Simpson uses it in the early Simpsons episode, "The Telltale Head", where Bart cuts the head off of the Jebediah Springfield statue.
What I read is that The Joker was actually originally meant to die after he was stabbed, but the editor realized he was a good character and had the writers change the ending it at the last minute.
Probably my all time favorite Joker story will always be in Batman #1 I first read it some decades ago as a kid reprinted in Jules's Fieffer's book 'The Great Comic Book Heroes' and the portrayal of the Joker as a murderous deadly clown really stuck with me, and I remember another Golden Age Batman/Joker story reprinted in Dynamite Magazine that I read as a kid. The Bill Finger/Jerry Robinson Golden Age comics stuck with me far more than those later 1950's comics in which the Joker's murderous nature was watered down. I remember meeting Joker co-creator Jerry Robinson at the San Diego Comic-Con back in the early 2000's when he signed some of my early Golden Age Batman/Detective Comics and World's Finest issues and I had asked him if The Joker might have been inspired by the Coney Island Funny Face sign and he said no that the inspiration for The Joker came from Conrad Veidt in the silent film The Man Who Laughs.
That was me......probably 7 years ago. I don't think I went for any particular version. I saw my mom had a purple jacket so I bleached my hair and pieces the rest together. Though I made sure to have a crowbar and the big flower.....so.....skinny 70s/80s Joker.....just don't have the body for it haha
You forgot to mention the best Joker story ever: "Joker's Greatest Boner" or something along those lines.
