Back-Breaking Labor

A father and three sons are renovating a house when a wall of that house collapses and breaks the father's back. Keeping calm, he tells the sons, "Well, I guess this is what you would call back-breaking labor." He chuckled, then passed out from pain.

Explanation

Experiment

The humor comes from the dad making a pun (wordplay) about his back being broken and using the phrase 'back-breaking labor' which is a common saying, even though he literally just experienced back breaking labor. It's dark humor because he's in severe pain and has just been injured but is trying to make light of the situation.
