Dark Humor About Tragedy

ยท

    • It's horrible to make jokes about 9/11, but it's not funny when I found out my mate's mum jumped from the 21st floor.

    Listen up, buttercup. The joke is dark because it starts with a setup that suggests a tasteless joke about a tragedy (9/11), but it twists into a personal tragedy for the joke teller. It uses the expectation of a 9/11 to subvert the tragedy to something personal. It's like expecting a clown and getting a funeral, you genius.
