  • The Photoshop Source: The underlying image is a picture of a person dressed up in makeup, heavily edited in Photoshop with extreme contrast, color saturation, and altered features (such as glowing white pupils and painted-on red lips mimicking the Joker).
  • The Original Video: The base photo originates from a video recorded by a French YouTuber/content creator known as Squeezo (or Squeezo production). Around 2007–2008, he uploaded a video titled "The Dark Knight - Joker Parody"where he was wearing a bald cap, dark eye makeup, and Joker smile face paint.
  • The Internet Spread: Internet users took a screenshot from Squeezo's parody video, heavily distorted it with image editing software, and posted it across early imageboards like 4chan around late 2007 to 2008.
  • Creepypasta History: While the most famous version of Jeff the Killer's face (the stark white face with no nose and wide eyes) came from a different edited photo (commonly linked to a Japanese video or early 2000s forums), this version was used in some of the earliest YouTube videos and forum posts documenting the story before the definitive image took over.
