** Another vector for this meme is an image of {{[[media-|:batman-the-orphan-bitchslaps-robin.jpg| Batman slapping Robin while shouting "MY PARENTS ARE DEEAAAAAAAD!!!"}}]]. For the record: This is an actual image from an actual Batman [[What If]] story, though edited; the original context is completely different.

** For those wondering how the ''hell'' something like that ever appeared in a comic book back then, keep in mind [[Have a Gay Old Time|that terminology can undergo changes (i.e. "gay" going from "happy" to "homosexual")]]. In this case, "boner" went from a gaffe to... well, you know.
** To clarify, this wasn't just one panel- ''the entire story'' revolved around the Joker's boners or Batman and Robin's boners. There are nearly forty uses of the the word and the story is less than ten pages long.
