    The Joker has often used his Joy Buzzer amongst his vast arsenal of comedy-themed weapons. Like his other weapons, this novelty device is specially modified to be extremely lethal. Unlike an ordinary joy buzzer which merely vibrates, the Joker's buzzer administers a dose of actual electricity into whoever touches it, being able to stop their heartbeat within seconds.

    The Joker's most common usage of the device is to offer his unsuspecting victim a friendly handshake. Once they clasp hands, the Joker simply squeezes to release the electrical current, taking only a few seconds for his victim's heart to stop. The Joker sometimes uses it like a taser, attacking his opponent directly without offering a handshake and simply grabbing his opponent with it.

    The Joker also has a non-electric version of his Joy Buzzer, which utilizes a simple needle tipped with Joker Venom. This was seen during the Killing Joke story arc, when Joker used it to kill the owner of a run-down amusement park, thus making the land his own.

    The Joy Buzzer's first appearance was in Batman #73, where it was used to distract a policeman so that he and his gang could escape. In later appearances, both Mr. Freeze and Alexander Luthor Jr. fell victim to Joker's Joy Buzzer.
