Comedic character was reborn from the future and is aware of all events that happen and is pretty experienced, so he/she is actually just casually having fun until the actual breakpoint appears where the character from previous life wasn't able to handle it before

Out of all thing, I've seen one example of this trope and it was a hentai RPG maker game.

I think a huge amount of this has been inspired by Kurosawa's Sanjuro.

Fun fact: the only reason this now iconic scene happened is that the prop for spraying blood malfunctioned, spewing a torrent of gallons all at once rather than the more realistic ebb intended.

Please give an example or two of this it sounds really interesting

It's not about alcohol. I have the same when I ate something spicy or coarse, like German bread, and then drink from a freshly opened, cold coke. You keep drinking and the frizz on your tongue build up and up until you can't take it anymore. It's the best feeling.

rather than just having organic exposition through a conversation/maybe some idiosyncratic tells.

It kind of works, but he's only the villain in the movie, where he's beaten with pure scorn and talks himself back, and all the sympathetic arguments from other characters are in the TV ending where someone else ended the world.

The part I don't get is why the state doesn't give the Joker the chair already. Just because Batman can't kill him doesn't mean capital punishment has to moralfag.

Gotham's in New Jersey, they hadn't executed anyone in decades by the time they officially abolished it. Capital punishment of a retard is additionally viewed as unconstitutionally cruel and unusual pretty much everywhere but Texas. The weird part is that he just lives through assassination attempts by other criminals.

What's with this surge in clown memes

Nagisa would be less boring if the trope had some variation. I mean, he never fights, just stares at the enemy and he collapses.
>>Villains turning good after spending time with the heroes
