During DC's Hostess era, the Joker was popular enough to merit his own series - and thus his own snack ads. While never encountering Batman, the Joker discovers that the police of Gotham are more than capable.

"Cornered Clown" Cops

The Gotham PD have cornered Joker in a nearby building; the Clown Prince of Crime decides to rain down Hostess Fruit Pies as a distraction. Despite enjoying the treats, the GCPD is able to nab Joker as he tried to sneak out the back.

"Clowning Around" Ringmaster

Turned down from a circus act, the Joker attempted to take his revenge on the ringmaster with poisoned blow darts. Alerted by the real clown that Joker had refused the pre-act Hostess Fruit Pies, the darts were swapped out and the police called in to arrest the mad clown.

"Laugh, Clown, Laugh" Guards

Tossing Hostess Fruit Pies into a museum-going crowd, a disguised Joker sought to use the treats as a distraction. His plot to steal a famous painting was still foiled by the museum guards and GCPD - and the Joker finally warmed up to the Hostess treats.
