A similar phenomenon was witnessed on the porn website before when fans rushed to look up characters from movies like “Avengers: Endgame” and “Suicide Squad”.

Axar.az reports citing TMZ that the recent release of the “Joker” movie has apparently resulted in a sudden surge of popularity of the iconic comic book supervillain, in a different segment of the entertainment world – porn.

Pornhub’s statistics display a “massive spike” of searches involving the word “joker” last weekend, with over 741,000 such queries being made during the first four days following the film’s release on 4 October.

The biggest surge was apparently witnessed on Sunday, 6 October, amounting to 291,628 searches.

This reveal did not seem to faze the social media audience, with many netizens appearing amused rather than surprised by the news.
