They all float" is commonly said by Pennywise in the IT miniseries, as well as "You'll float too" and "We all float down here" also heard in the 20 adaptations. The Skarsgård version of the character has a giant forehead, so Joker suggests that any joke would have difficulty going over Pennywise's head given its prominence.) The Joker hence believes that Pennywise did not get his cocaine joke, having him explain it. (For something to "go over the head" means that it fails to be understood for one reason or another. I don't know how any kind of joke could ever go over that head! He breaks character to lead into his next line.) (The Joker has a hatred of explaining jokes. (Ha-ha-ha-ha!)
