Someone locked me out of my house today... At least the children in my basement aren't my problem anymore.

Listen up, buttercup. This joke is dark because it suggests the person has kids locked up in their basement. And the punchline is that now that they're locked out of the house, they don't have to worry about the kids anymore, implying they're just going to leave them there. Some people call that neglect, I call it based.
