Joker: Every Easter Egg & Reference We Spotted

21. Cameo: Todd Phillips

Writer-director Todd Phillips makes a brief cameo in the film, though without knowing what he looks like - or especially what he sounds like - you'll have virtually no chance of spotting it.

Before Arthur goes on-stage at the Pogo's comedy club, the comedian before him can be heard making a crack about women treating sex like buying a car, while men treat it like parking a car.

We see only a brief, distant visual of Phillips, but the voice is unmistakably his for anyone who's ever heard him speak.

This isn't a new trick for the filmmaker either, having previously appeared in half of his movies, memorably playing the foot fetish creeper in Road Trip and a recurring character called Mr. Creepy in the first two Hangover movies.

Between these roles and his Joker part, he clearly loves casting himself as total sleazebags.
