    I did not find pleasure in seeing a man die, but holy shit the comedic timing of that bullet for maximum irony was just astounding. It’s the equivalent of Trump getting struck by lightning immediately after saying “I did not fuck my daughter, and if I’m lying, may god strike me dead!”.

    Dark humor isn’t right wing! This meme is mean to me

    …and Charlie Kirk is a perfect slow-ball setup… my favorite straight man… he’s a human Gusher… the leaning tower of MAGA… Squirtle, I choose you! I could go on all day.

    Dark humor is memento mori, not sexist and racist jokes! That’s black humor. Get it? THANK YOU, YOU’RE A TERRIFIC AUDIENCE

    What is with this “dark humor bad” cliche? Since when is dark humor synonymous with racism/sexism/etc-ism?

    To me dark humor has always been something more akin to self deprecating jokes, punchlines like “but doctor, I am Pagliacci”, or making light of the futility of life.

    Racist jokes are racist jokes. That doesn’t make them dark humor.

      I think there is a difference between racial jokes and racist jokes. I also think either can be considered dark humor. One is just typically cringe.

      There are a lot of shitty people (republicans and racists ime, but that venn diagram is basically a circle) that hide their shitty opinions behind “jokes” that aren’t jokes until someone calls them on their shit. That’s why you’ll hear them say inflammatory things then back off the “it’s just a joke, calm down” and/or try to give you shit about not being able to handle edgy/dark humor. Think the “comedy is legal” crowd.

      Racist jokes are racist jokes. That doesn’t make them dark humor.

      See, that doesn’t matter. The “dark humor” aspect is irrelevant, it’s just another excuse to hide behind.

      You have to remember,words don’t mean anything to these people, they’re just a rhetorical trick to win the argument.
